PERRY PORTS the colored man to
whom we referred two weeks ago as
suffering greatly from slight wound
in the foot made by the tine Of Il pitch
fork, died yesterday, three weeks from
the date of the accident, despite the
best medical attention. The difficulty
of restoration arose from an impover-
ished state of his blood. Perry was
one of our most industrious and trusted
citizens, had secured himself and family
comfortable home and dies at an
early age regretted by all.

THE Middletown Fair commenced
yesterday, and is favored by fair, but
very warm Summer-like weather.
About 1000 persons were present yes
terday, but to-day and tomorrow the
attendance will doubtless be very large.
A dispatch to Erery EUening says:
"The exhibits so far entered are eX-
ceptionally fine, especially 50 is the
ladies apartment and farm products.
The live stock exhibit is rather light,
but that which is on the ground is very
good. The races, which are the chief
feature of the exhibition, promise to be
interesting, the purses being well filled
and the animals are on the ground in
excellent condition.
