EXAMINING TIE NOTE OF WARNING.

At the Whitaker trial yesterday Ex-Governor
Chamberlain continued the direct examination OF
DR. Richard u. Piper. To test the conclusion OF Mr.
SouthwOrtb that the note of warning was torn from
the same sheet uf paper upon which Whitaker had
written "A letter to his mother. DIR. Piper presented
several exhibits, one of which showed photograph
of the two matching edges OF q torn
piece of paper highly magnihed, while an
other represented in 70 similar way the
match. Tho difference obvious The witness
also testified that the two pieces of paper alleged to
have been torn apart could never have been joined,
because they were OF different chemical compost
ton as proven 10y their different tints in the photo
graph. He declared that if the note OF warning had
been rubbed over, 20 to erase previous pencil
marks the blue lines would have been injured; and
this assertion he supported by rubbing a piece OF
paper in the presence Of the Court until the lines
were almost oblterated, while the pencil marks
still visible.
The most interesting part Of his testimony was
with relation to the alleged underwriting. In the
first place DR.. Piper said, it was absurd TO try TO
bring out obscure marks by enlarged photographs,
for enlarging could only disperse the light; II any
change were to be made il would be better 20 dlln-
ish the size Some of the photographs presented TO
the Court by Mr.. SouthwOTth had been sent 20 DIR.
Piper and upon the dappled aud spotted surface of
which Mr.. SOuthwortl's imagination. the witness
said, could ind all sorts OF letters hut the most
curious phase OF the fancy that the letters were
all in his own handwriting DIR. Piper had shown
the photographs to other persons, all OF whom had
been able to ind fancy letters upon the surface,
but always in their own handwriting. In no in
stance however. had any two persons been able TO
discover the same letter in the same place.
q. The examination will go ON this morning at IL
O'clock

AN AGRICULTURAL FAIR IN 1882.

The regular quarterly meeting of the directors
and officers of the American Agricultural Associa-
ton was held yesterday at the st. Denis Hotel,
Colonel n. I. Sprague, of Vermont, presided. Mr.
Peker a commissioner sent by the Hungarian Gov.
ernment To investigate the agricultural condition OF
this country and more especially the wheat-growing
districts of the Northwest spoke upon the lnyestga-
tions which he had made hore. Winter wheat, he
said which in this country was considered inferior
TO spring wheat. in Hungary was valued more
highly and reached the standard of excellence more
nearly. The wheat producing lands of Hungary,
NE said, were exhausted when compared with the
virgn soil of the far West. While here the
average yield reached 1917 bushels an acre,
it was there scarcely 10. In one point,
though he thought Hungary excelled the United
States and that in the matter of bOrseraising.
In his country the Government supported ut great
expense hundreds of horse-b breeding stations where
stations of superior breed kept at the disposal
of the peasantry free of charge In this manner the
breed of horses had improved and attained that high
degree of excellence for which it was famous.
The question of holding a National Agricultural
Fair then came before the meeting After some dis
cussOn il was decided that an exhibition under the
auspices of the Association should be held IN some
central part of the United States in 1882.
