The big posters, announcing the ninth
annual Fair OF the Central Wisconsin
Agricultural and Mechanical Association,
have made their appearance, and may be
seen in various public places in the city,
as well as in other localities of the state.
From the lavish display of printers ink
one would suppose that the Association
intended togather together on their beau
tiful grounds in this city, the people of
the entire commonwealth. And such is
their intention, if a liberal premium list,
ample buildings, superb track, innu-
merable pens and stalls, diversified sports,
balloon ascensions, and, we need hardly
remark, gentlemanly and obliging con-
duct by the officers in charge, will accom-
plish the object. We are informed also,
that the present liberal accommodations
are to be still improved upon, in the way
of new structures-among the lest new
secretary's Ofice-necessary for the vari-
GUS new features of the Fair, to be intro
duced for the first time at this years ex-
hibition. And there is no earthly reason
why the Central should not be, or be-
come, the most popular and best patron
lied Fair in the state. WATERFOWL is To-
Gated in the very confer of the agricultur-
al garden of the west. For Rail Road
connections Watert0wn has no superior.
The indications are that the present sea-
son will enable the farmer to make a
better exhibit of the result of his labor
than has been vouehsafed him for many
years. Fruit of every, description will be
abundant, and, of course, every grower
will have pride IN. letting others see his
best samples, besides displaying q. lauda-
BILE rivalry for the premiums. The citi-
zens of Watertown are taking q more
general interest In, the success ofthe Cen
trail Wisconsin Fair for 1882 than has
heretofore been manifested, thereby en-
couraging the Association to redouble lis
efforts for grand display. An unusual
ly large edition of the Premium List has
been issued, and every person desiring a
COPY of these handsome and useful books
will be promptly served by applying to
F. P. Brook, Secretary, Water town, Wis.
A full programme will soon be issued,
enumerating che interesting features of
the Fair, not contained in the book.

COnOTeSS Seekers.

Delaney and Bragg seem to be playing
hide and seek in their anxiety to be NOM
mated for Congress. Monday of last
week it was Delaney's day here to look
after his green pastures and Thursday
General Bragg appeared on the scene in
this portion of his vineyard to see if the
outlook was fair for the promised land I.
The General seemed bright, cheerful and
vivacious and that turn-up eye had self
confident twinkle in it. Bets are freely
made upon the Delaney Bragg contest
but Bragg's hackers are rather the most
numerous. 1t, however, must not be
thought for moment that Delaney is not
actively at work, for he is with might an {
main. But Bragg has the a Vantage over
Delaney of having the most capital to fall
back on. 1t will be a hard struggle bel
tween them in the convention.

Lake MIILs as u Resort.

Lake Mills is having quite a boom just
now in the summer resort business. The
village is overrun with visitors. The
Newton House is full from cellar to gar
ret with resorters from St. Louis, Terre
Haute, Chicago and other cities, which is
no wonder with such popular landlord
as L. Ell. Joslin. All the spare rooms in
the private residences are taken and in
fact Lake Mills cannot accommodate more
than half the applicants this season. The
fishing in Rock Lake is conceded to be
the best in any Wisconsin waters. New
fishing grounds have been discovered
where the water is from so to 70 feet
deep which furnish to the anglers the
most spendid specimen OF the wall-eyed
pike For piscatorial pursuits Rock
Like is destined to take the lead, and the
better Lake Mills and her beauties are
known the more popular will she become
as summer resort.

The Wi7tte1' Wheat and RVe.

The present week will nearly complete
the winter wheat and rye harvest in this
vicinity. Thus far for the most part the
weather has been quite favorable for Sc
curing the grain in good shape. Winter
wheat has yielded heavy and the berry 81
of the best quality. From % to 80 bush
els to the acre is considered to be about
the average. Rye is also an excellent
crop and will yield some 40 bushels per
acre.

WASHINGTON June 25.-There appears to be con-
siderable opposition in some of the executive oc-
partments to provision in the Legislative, Execu-
tive and Judicial Appropriation bill recently passed
by the House, which forbids the employment in any
of the departments or bureaus in Washington OF
more persons than are specially provided for by the
appropriation act and which also prohibits the pay
ment of higher salary to the employees than IS pro-
vided for by the act Representative Cannon, who
framed this provision OF the bill and conducted the
thorough investigation which resulted in its unan-
imous adoption by the Appropriation Committee and
afterward by the House, comes in for a good share
Of abuse 1t is understood that some bureau en-
pIoyes who have heretofore received high salaries
for "specialp services which in some cases are
merely nominal, are bringing strong pressure 10

tons to strike out this wise and necessary proyl-
sion in the BILL and that they are receiving encour-
