FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR:
THOMAS Il. CATHCART.
The Agricultural Fair,


1t will not be illtimed for us to glance at
the prospect of our next Agricultural Fair,
now so near at hand and sec what the pros
poets are for fine exhibit. Those who visit
the farm houses of the county throughout the
year can easily call to mind with what pride
the farmer points to the Jersey or Short
Horn that will surely take the first prize in
the fall and rs he gives his pet loving stroke
or extra care, can almost feel the pleasure of
seeing admiring friends and covctous COM
petitors; while the good housewife is not
less anxious to show the mammoth produce
in the garden for which she is so justly cele-
bratcd.
The present season for the growth of fine
exhibits has been singularly poor one
The early summer brought us heavy storms
that destroyed the tender plants and render
ed the ground too wet for cultivation. On
the other hand summer closed with an I'M
precedcnted drought, which has continued
during the opening fall 1t is not reasonable
then to suppose that those exhibits which
depend largely upon a favorable season can
compare with those of former years.
Our aim is to address Il word especially to
those who are halting between two opinions
whether they will exhibit or not To them
we would say not to forget that their neigh
bors stand in the same box with them, so
that their chance of successful competition is
Just as good ms if the season had been IA
vorabe one. And with a knowledge that
everything has been against the exhibitors,
the praise bestowed upon II fine exhibit will
be doubly great and not less proudly rccev-
ed We hope that the backbone of the coun.
ty, the farmers, will not let their interest suf-
fer for lack of energy, but will strive to hit
their best blow for an institution, which has
done more for them than all other en-
tcrprises combined Do not let the thous
ands who will go to the Cattle Show" in
stead of the great Baltimore Pageant be sor-
ry that they patronized home industry in
stead of going farther and at greater expense.
Baltimore county last week through some
of the warmcst, dricst weather our thermom-
ctcrs over measured, turned out en- auaSse TO
exhibit the results of her enterprise and
wealth, and certainly we will not do less n
month hence, when the probabilities are that
the weather will be cool and pleasant.

We are glad TO chronicle II material
growth in our friend across the county, The
Harre RepubSiran. Having been started by
its present proprietor in 1868, as II small six
column paper i was enlarged two years
later from twenty four to n twenty eight
column sheet. lis last issue has been further
increased 10 thirty-two columns showing
corresponding Improvement throughout At
first an cndorser of Republican principles, it
has since declared its freedom from all party
entanglemcnts and stands on the broad plat.
form of freedom of thought, considering the
great questions now before the American
people, "The Science of Finance :" "Our
Future Currency" "The Tariff" "Amcrican
Shipping" and "Thc Wonderful Growth and
Dangerous Power of Private Corporations'
on each of which it says, "party line are not
drawn or any settled policy adopted" The
Republican, further dedcates its especial at
tention to local interests and to the building
up of our beautiful young city
The Times, in an article last week, spoke
of the result of Reg ster Jacobs sitting, and
went on to speak of how the registration
lists could be "still further purged of fraudu.
lent votes" Now it may be fraud for
man to die, remove or become disqualified,
these being the only cases reported, but we
think the people of Hartford are not in the
habit of using the word in that sense We
do not blame our new neighbor for trying
to give the public a readable paper, but we
are very much opposed to having them mis-
led by the use ofany such insinuating terms.
We would hint to him that as "The Oldest
lnhabitant" we have long since found out that
our community is fonder of having the
truth just as it is, without colorng it up with
any such thrilling terms; and if he docs not
want The Times to die with its birth, he will
call things by their proper names

THE BURNING OF Mr.. EvERIsT's CANNING
HoUsE.-Just as we were going to press last
Thursday, we learnt the bare fact that Mr.. Ev-
ersts canning house, near Churchville, had
been burnt that day about p NJ. On further
inquiry it seems that he was putting in gasoline
pipes, which lead to the heaters. On trying
how they would work, the gas Immediately ex-
ploded and the rest of the tale is easily guessed.
The building together with two days canning of
fruit, little old stock, $4,000 empty cans, q
new wheat drill and fan, and number of small
er articles were entirely destroyed. II was
with the utmost difficulty that his house and
barn were saved A large oak tree between the
canning house and dwelling probably saved the
latter, and tall stem stands as a monument of
Its good service. Fortunately he had the most
of his goods stored In his barn and cellar Still
the immediate loss will amount to about 49,
with no insurance whatever, in addition to hay
ing his crop on his hands, and his trade crippled.
Mr.. Everist has our sincere sympathy for his
loss, which should be timely warning to all
who engage in the business to have their stock
and buildings adequately insured. The risk of
fire is imminent. We never pass summer
lcle.

Depth of silver oIinss. Ft -. NfF,4.... n. cid

Professor c. l.. Avery says the question Is often asked why silver mines u,ually grow richer ss depth is gained, and be explains the cause as follows:
 Facts are worth more than theOres, and the account Of some assays lately made may throw some light on the lack Df silver at the top of veins, es- pecially veins of sulphurei ores.
 Two assays were made that gave only three or four ounces 10 the ton. The owner Of the mine expressed no surprise, saying that he expected it, for they came from the excavations in a Colorado shaft abandoned some six teen years ago. The water had partly filled the shaft, and O.d miners in the vicinity said the silver disappeared fl the mine was left exposed. He then sent for samples obtained after further excavation, and both of these gave much higher returns.
 IL seems likely that under the infu ence of air and water the silver sul- phide had oxydiZed tO silver sulphatei dissolved and dried away. After the tremendous blaming down the surface of Maine has undergone from glacial action, many of the silver bearing veins must have been worn down tO a great depth. We might then expeci the richer portions of the vein Co bt exposed, for if the increase first found Was Ca-ritd to the greatest depths tho mines must be rich indeed.
