County Fairs.

The Philadelphia Times Of the 18th liz re-
ferring to the growth of County fairs, gives
some good advice, which would be well
for our readers to observe, just at the dawn
of our fair. 1t speaks as follows:
This is the month for County Fairs in
Pennsylvania, and it is gratifying to note
how important they have become in most
sections of the State. The failure of the
State fair has quickened rather than chilled
the County Fairs, and they put to shame
the great Commonwealth that is distanoed
by Dakota Territory in State or Territor-
ial exhibition of the growth of the indus
tries OF the people.
The County Fair has been rapidly grow
ing into importance during the last score
OF years, and now 1t enlists the interest of
all the varied industries of the community
1t has done more to diffuse good stock
among the farmers (; to introduce new i'm
plements to improve the products Of the
dairy to beautify the homes Of the people,
to make deeper plowing. more intelligent
use of fertilizers, and better crops with less
labor than any other method Of education
among our industries; and it has also made
the wives and daughters of industry more
skilful and more proud Of their vocation.
The county fair should command the
bes. efforts of the best men in every locali-
ty. The fogies and the growlers, who al
ways resist all that make people more pros
porous, will sneer at the County Fair. They
will jog along in ill-tempered poverty, rails
ing mulleins and weeds instead of the sue
culent grasses that fatten their stock and
make their cream and butter golden, and
they will reap scant sheaves where others
reap in abundance but they are past re-
denption and they must be left behind in
the race. The County Fair will 60 on, and
whenever it commands the hearty cooper
alton of the industries of the county it will
tell in better farms, better stock, better
products generally and better people.

Was He Murdered.

The investigations into the death Of the
late John c. Noonan. teacher of one of
the West Mahanoy township schools, do
not result satisfactorily, and the suspicion
is now believed to be well founded that
his death was not accidental. He was
found at daybreak one morning last week
upon the railroad track, beheaded. At the
post-mortem the doctors became convinced
that life had been extinct before the train
passed over him. The flow of blood from
the headless body was so small as to lead
as to lead to the belief that he had been
previously strangled. When last seen, at
midnight, before his death, he was perfect
ly sober and had but a mile to walk to
reach home. The first train to pass the
point where his remains were found did
not arrive until nearly two hours later.
There was trouble in the township about
the schools. The suspicion that there was
foul play daily grows stronger, though 1.-THE
mystery presents no clue to its discovery
