IN the country, and that by encour
aging the introduction Of improved
machinery, the study of agricultural
chemistry, and the proper use and
application of these helps to the far
mer, West Viagiais would soon stand
forth and take her place in compe-
tition with the older and larger
States Of the Union.
1t is utterly impossible to give
even q feint idea of the power, gran
deur. and eloquence Of Mr.. Bayard d
address. He spoke for over an hour
and was listened to with the most
profound attentionx He was popular
among our people before his visit,
aud he has made himself doubly SO
by his excellent speech and pleasing
address.
He was followed in short speeches
by Gov. Hamilton, ex-senator Davis,
Senator Camden and Hon. w. T..
Wilson. Want Of time and space
prevents q notice of each.
After the speaking, the races were
announced. The FIRST was q trotting

This ended the exercises for Thurs
day.
FoUTH DAY.
The morning Of the fourth day
opened with rain, and the threaten
ing clouds that hang over, kept many
persons from leaving their homes.
The event Of the day was the arrival
OF the "Knightly Karavan," from
Silver City, which came In about /
O'Clock. A description eff the par.
ade is simply impossible. You had
to see it, to take it all in, and enjoy
the lacgh. Silver City stakes the
cake" in the matter of a burlesque
parade. The line was certainly
composed of luxurious Kustomers. -
All kinds of odd'looking vehicles,
drawn by mules, oxen, and horses,
and carrying funny looking people,
together with a number mounted on
oxen, mules, and broken'down hor-
ses, made up the Karavan.
The exercises on the grounds con-
siseed of a display of all stock on ex'
hibition, and trotting and running
race, the report of which we could
not obtain before going to press.

large as was expected, and could
have been made larger had the far
mers taken the time to enter into
it. The horse department. showed
some fine specimens for general pur-
poses. The cattle department was
represented by pure blood Attorneys
and Durhams, and also of natives
and GRADS. In the swine lists were
exhibited some celebrated breeds,
prominent among which were the
Berkshires and Poland China. There
was also good exhibition of fine
wool and long wool sheep. Taken
all in all, the exhibition of stock,
cannot be excelled by any county
fair anywhere, as to quality and pure
blood, although the numbers were
not so large as the farmers and stock
breeders in this and adjoining coun-
ties could make it it they were dig
posed to do SO.
Among the noticeable stock on ex-
hibition were DR.. r. s. Tanner,s

A Tilted Lovers Revenge.
(Alt California;

An awful. case of the consequence
of refusing a young mans honorable
love is reported on the West side. A
really nice young man fell in love
with a handsome girl, the only
daughter of a handsome and well
preserved widow of thirty eight and
offered her marriage. She ridiculed
him because he was thirty, and said
he was old enough to be her father
and so ON, and with her taunts goad-
ed him to such pitch of frenzy that he
swore he would be fearfully revenged.
Accordingly he proposed to and mar
ried the wretched girls mother.
Now that wretched girl has to wear
stout leather boots two sizes too large
for her, and go to bed at 9p. m. and
eschew the theater, chocolate caramels
ice-cream, and in fact everything else
that makes ones life worth living for.
Her step fathers nominal object be-
ing that when she grows up she may
be as splendidly matured woman as
her mother, the compliment implied
in this inducing the mother to second
him enthusiastically.
When young man comes round to
see the wretched girl her step father
bounces him down the front steps,
throws his hat after him, and tells
the wretched girl that the young man
is not a fit companion for her,and that
he is as felicitious for her future as he
would be for that of his own child
and altogether in the kindest manner
possible he makes that wretched girl
even wish she were dead as many as
a hundred times day.
Let all other beautiful girls who
are often tempted to refuse the mat
trimonial offer of eligible young man
be warned by her unhappy. fate.

The Presidents Illness.

Washington, March l0.-President
Arthur has been troubled with in
somnia for several nights, and his
physicians are exceedingly anxious
about his condition. He is the VIC
tim of Bright's disease of the kidneys,
and his cornwall habits have greatly
aggravated his malady. The utmost
care is taken to conceal his real con-
dition, but it is certain that he is suf-
fering intense bodily pain, and has
quite lost his nerve. In his despon-
dency he declares that he is going to
die, and to-day implored his sister
Mrs. McElroy, not to leave him as
she contemplated doing, next week
He has said repeatedly during thu
past fortnight that he did not expec
to live out the year, and when Mr.
Edmunds was chosen President o
the Senate, he remarked to friend
T'm glad of that. Edmunds will
finish out my term with distinc
ton"
It's curious fact that Edmund
was sworn in President pro tenn.
am assured by an old attache of tn
clerks Office of the Senate that n
other President pro tenn, has ever tax
en- oath ON taking his seat, the oath Q
a Senator having been deemed stuff
cient heretofore. The inference
that Edmunds has found some Law
by which the taking of this specia
oath makes him Vice-President d
facto, SO that if Arthur and he shout
both die, the Senate might elect an
other President pro tenn, who woul
cut out the Democratic Speaker {
the next House from the succe'
sion.
