The Hartford Fair.

Entries for the approaching fair of the
Hartford County Agricultural Society are
coming in rapidly, and we have no doubt the
exhibition of 1881 will be as creditable to the
county as those of previous years. The great
drought will of course prevent as fine dis
play of vegetable productions as usual, but
Notwithstanding all the drawbacks of dry
weather. cut worms, potato bugs, &c, a fine
array of the fruits of the earth will be shown.
The burning up of the pastures will also have
its effect upon the appearance of the cattle,
but the stalls will be filled with Short Horns,
Jerseys, Grades, &c, of the finest quality and
of the most aristocratic lineage. Among the
exhibitors of Short Horns will be Messrs.
James Lee, John P. Mitchell and DR.. W. S.
Archer, of Hartford; Mr.. George Ashbridge,
of Chester county, Pa, and Mr. Edward B.
Emory, of Centreville, Md. Col. E. H. Web
ster, Hon. Henry d. Farnandis and others
will exhibit Jerseys, besides which there will
be choice specimens of other breeds, and
grades as fine as any in the world. The
household department will be wel-filled with
a most tempting display of jellies, jams,
pickles, preserves, &c, together with other
specimens of the skill, industry and ingenuity
of the ladies of Hartford. In this department
two ladies alone have entered one hundred
and ninetysix articles
These annual fairs have been of great val
ue, not only to farmers, but also to every
other business enterprise carried on in Har-
ford. They have brought mutitudes of
strangers into our midst, who have carried
away pleasant impressions of our noble old
county, and some of them have returned and
settled among us. They have encouraged
farmers to take greater pride in their ancient
and honorable calling, and have stimulated
them to endeavor to excel in all that pertains
to it, They have led to the introduction of
improved breeds of stock of all kinds, better
methods of farming and consequently the
raising of larger and finer crops, until to-day
Hartford county stands second to no county
in the State, in the possession of thorough
bred cattle, hogs and sheep, and for the pro-
ductien of large crops of wheat, corn, hay,
and fat cattle.
These being facts the people of Hartford
should not permit any depreciation in the
number and quality of the exhibits of this
year, as compared with previous years.
Every farm and every household can send
something that will be creditable to the far
mer and the housekeeper, and the joint dis
play will preserve the deservedly high repu-
tation in which the Hartford fair is held
throughout the State.

gance (now complained off, during the session,
and introduced the bill (page 1852. )ailuded to by
Governor Hamilton as wellconsidered bill,
limiting the number of employees of the House
sation. On page 1857 you will find, in addition to
the graceful and complimentary address to Mr..
Stump, the President of the Senate, offered by
DR.. Steiner in behalf of the members, special
resolutions, equally complimentary to theirpre-
siding officer, passed by the Republican members
of the Senate.
Thus it will appear that the editor of the
Times has deliberately attempted to viify and
defame the character of q public officer, for
partisan purposes-one, too, who has received
the highest commentator of his associates of
both parties.

ATTEMPTED OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT UPON A
Young LADY.-Last Sunday morning Miss Mary
Bull, arespectable young lady, 16 years of age,
who lives with her mother, near Moore's Mill,
was the victim of an attempted outrageous as
sault. She had been spe nding Saturday night
with her aunt, Mrs. William Forwood, near the
Hickory. On Sunday morning, about 10 O. clock,
she started to walk home, carrying market
basket, containing some articles of clothing
As she Approached the main road leading from
the Hickory to Fountain Green, she noticed a
man walking in the road in the direction of
the latter place She paid no attention to this
circumstance, and proceeded on her way, the
man being some distance ahead of her Upon
arriving at by-road leading through the woods,
near the residence of Mr.. VIM. B. Vancourt the
man turned off the road and disappeared. After
passing Mr.. Vancourt's, the young lady looked
back and saw the same man following her, walk
ing rapidly. AS she reached q secluded spot,
bordered on one side by a woods and on the
other by hill, the man overlook and passed
her. He Immediately turned and fronting her
said "Good morning" She returned his salu-
ton, whereupon he seized her by the shoulders
and telling her he did not intend to hurt her,
forced her towards the woods. She began to
scream when he placed his hand over her
month, in order to smother her cries. She strug-
gled violently and breaking loose from him ran
as fast as she could down the road During her
struggles her basket dropped to the ground and
her hat fell off. The first house she reached was
that of her uncle, Mr.. Jacob e. Bull. At the
II to-
ened, agitated manner told him of the attack
made upon her. He hastened to the spot she
had indicated and found the articles she had
dropped but saw nothing of the man. The
neighbors were informed of the assault and
secured the woods but found no one.
Mr.. Vancourt had seen the young lady pass
down the road, and shortly afterwards had seen
man whom he took to be William Bush, hur-
ryring after her. Suspicion at once fell upon
Bush, and he wasarrested by Sheriff Morgan, on
Sunday night, at his home on the farm of Mr..
John Toy near the Hickory. Bush is AZ years
old, is married and has wife and family OF chill
dren. He has always been regarded as an in
dustrious, inoffenslve man. At hearing be-
fore Justice Fulton, In Bel Air, on Monday,
Miss Bull identified Bush as the man who
had assaulted her. She stated before the hear
ing that in endeavoring to free herself from his
grasp she noticed that his nose was bleeding,
having been scratched, as she supposed, by her
bracelet. AT the hearing scratch was plainly
seen on Bush's nose. Miss Bull is q daughter
of Henry Bull. who recently died. Justice Full
ton held Bush in 300 bail for his appearance at
court, the security being furnished by his
friends Bush was represented by Hon. Steven
on Archer, and Geo. Y. Maynadier, States At
torney, appeared for the State.
