most appropriate one for the autumn shows.
Exhibition is a better word, but far less fire.
quently used. Not only shoald the farmer
90 to the Fair but lie ought to take his fam
lily with him. The going is simply not
enough. All members of the household
should make it point to take something to
exhibit. One Of the boys may take fine
colt, and if it is his own, there will be all
the more pride in obtaining prize. Anoth-
er son may have yoke of steers that he
has trained for the exhibition. As for the
girls, there are thousand different things
that can be made with the needle that will
grace the walls of the Woman's Pavil-
ion, or the rooms of the Household De-
partment. Even so common a thing as
bread may be baked with special care, and
will attract much attention. Then there
are the garden vegetables, potatoes--a new
kind, perhaps-pumpkins, squashes, etc,
and the products of the farm and orchard

home, and then criticise the Exhibition be.

pride in the farm will take great interest in

tons, and the person who goes through the
Exhibition without opening his mouth, is
certainly not getting all the good that is
within reach. 1t is our advice that all go
to the Fair-all take something to show,
and all find out as much as possible about
all the various exhibits that are made by

will be Il most profitable one. 1t may be
that premium will not be taken by every
one, but the prize money is only small

Wise Men of the East.

About 100 members of the order of Hep
tasophs, Representatives from the order in
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and
Delaware, arrived in Baltimore on Tuesday
evening, on fraternal visit to Alpha Con-
clave. They left Philadelphia on a tug, and
went as far as Chesapeake City, where the
weather being unfavorable, they were afraid
to venture on the Bay so concluded to come
to this town, where they telegraphed to have
the 7.40 train (fast line) stopped, when they
were transferred to Baltimore. They were
met at the Union depot, by members of
the Alpha Conclave and escorted to the
Eutaw House. A reception was rendered
the visitors at the South Baltimore Library,
after which banquet took place the Eutaw
House, on Wednesday they devoted their
time to sight seeing, and left Baltimore for
home on Thursday. They were accompani-
ed by the Americas Band of Philadelphia,
which discoursed excellent music on their
Way from Scots wharf to the depot.

Marrow Escape.

James S. Niblock, of Oxford, made mar
row escape in this town, on Friday last. He
was driving a mercantile agent to this place
and was about crossing over the railroad,
when the tiagman signaled for them to stop.
On looking out the only train they saw was
a freight engine putting some distance up
the track and feeling positive they could
cross before it would reach them kept NOV
ing forward. The tlagman seeing this wav-
ed his hat and shouted for them to stop.
Fortunately they did so and the next in

of them.

= In the Susquehanna river, about two
miles below the point known AZ York Fur
mace station, is an Island occupied by gem
tloman named Duncan, who devotcs the
spring aud summer to the cultivation of
melons and other vegetables. One night
last week. some persons surreptitiously ap.
propriated boat, the property of William
Hines, residing near Erb's saw mill, and
crossed over to Duncan's Island to steal his
melons. Mr.. Duncan heard the marauders,
stole march upon them and by mastery
coup d. tat succeeded in getting in the rear
OF the raiders, captured their boat, and
turned it adrift upon the waters of the rv
er. The object of the move was to conine
the raiders as prisoners upon the Island I'M
til morning. They, opposing stratagem to
stratagem, made flank movement, got in
Duncan's rear, captured one of his boats,
launched it, retired to the Lancaster coun-
ty shore, and set it adrift upon the waters
of the river. Both boats were subse-
quently recovered in the neighborhood of
McCalls Ferry. MIR. Duncan has no Ger
