Our latest correspondence, May 1e 1858, brings
to us the narrative of Henry: b. Ingram, Gen
Supt ofthe District Messenger Co., Of New Ha

been troubled with q weak and tired feelin z

with headache. had noticed also that at sta

Not only are all its birds and fishes discussed
and described, but their habits are descanted
upon, and their haunts disclosed. Valuable
hints arealso given as 10 the time and man
ner when gunner or angler may work with
the best success and explicit directions as
to routes and stopping places. accompanied
by an excellent map of the section, renders
the work complete guide book The book
is handsomely illustrated with plates of the
principal species OF game, and is arranged so

Now as eur County Fair is fixed fact, lei
all take pride in making 1t success 1t Is
not only the privilege, but the duty of every
citizen of Somerset county, to encourage ii
bv word and deed. Let it be remembered,
that our government calls upon us to en-
courage it by authorizing the payment out
of our taxes the amount of one hundred
dollars annually for the holding of fair.
The utility of such an exhibition must be
apparent to every intelligent mind. Suffice
il to say that more can be learned at such a
place by the farmer in one day, than he can
learn at home in year. There We can see
and become acquainted with the best of
everything produced in the county. Stock,
fruit, vegetables, poultry, dairy, farm imple-
ments, machinery fine arts, relies, curiosi-
ties. etc. TO say nothing of the renewal of
acquaintanceship, the good time and the So
cial culture il affords.

WHAT BALTIMORE WILL DO.
There appears to be almost no end 10 the
novelties being perfected for the Oriole fes-
tivities in Baltimore in September. 1t will
1 truly be as termed, Summer Nights Car
niyal, and certainly nothing like it was ever
before attempted in any city of the conti-
nent. There will be electricity in all its
forms, arc lights and incandescent lights,
! focus lights and fiambeaux, torches in vari-
Gus colors, Greek fire, calcium and gas, un-
/ til night will be turned into day. The pyro-
tecnic features will be on a scale of great
extent and variety, some of the set pieces
promising to be marvellous in effect. The
whole city will be lighted as never before.
The different monuments with which the
metropolis abounds will be girdled by cleo
trical bands, while the lofty and majestic
dome of the City Hall will be fairly ablaze
Every avenue leading 10 novelty in illumin-
alton is eagerly sought after, and old Balti-
more will indeed show herself this year. The
night display in the harbor will be a gor-
geous sight; and the arrival of Lord Balti-
more something TO remember for years. The
Mystic Pageant on the third night will be-
yond all comparison excel anything of the
description ever attempted not alone in this
country bnt in any other country. Other
cities are content with from eighteen to
twenty-five floats, the latter number being
the greatest ever embraced within one pa
geant in any city. Baltimore almost doub-
les this, as her pageant on the night of the
18th of September will include no less than
forty floats or tableaux cars, larger, more
imposing and grander in every way. than
ever before shown. Ordinarily the number
of characters introduced in pageant is less
than one hundred. In the Baltimore pa
characters upon the floats, every costume
entirely new and imported from Paris direct
1t will require thirteen hundred men, two
hundred and forty horses, over fifteen thou
sand gas jets, eight bands of music. and 9TH
er accessories in like magnificent proper
ton. The actual cash outlay necessary TO
place the pageant upon the streets of Balti-
more will exceed thirty-five thousand dol
lars. The characters are assumed exclusive
ly by members of the order of the Oriole,
merchants and business men of the highest
standing. The special series of excursions
arranged by the Baltimore and Ohio are
meeting with undisguised favor, as they ad

| CONFLUENCE ITEMS.
The weather has been unusually cool for
few days.
The picnic season is at hand, and quite a
number are either past, or in contempla-
ton
The town of Ursina has been annoyed
with burglars for some time past. Recently
one of those night prowlers received three
wounds, and when the justice, about whom
SO much is said in the Meyersdale CONNER
eial, came to investigate the matter, behold
life was extinct. Everything except the
outer garments, which held few old rags
and bundles of straw, in the shape of a hu-
man being had fled for parts unknown.
y haryest-home picnic came off on last
Saturday, in what is known as the Andy
Mitchell grove, about one mile west ofPeters-
burg. This picnic was held under the aus
pices of the Lutheran church, and it was
under the special control of Rev. J. W.
Tressler, who is acting as temporary pastor
of the Petersburg congregation. The wealth
er was all that could be desired and the at
tendance was unusually large, there being
not much less than a thousand persons
present. The brass band from Brandon
vile, w. Va, the marshal band from Mark
leysburg, and the home string bard, fur
nished most excellent music for the occasion.
The exercises of the forenoon consisted of
good music and plenty oft, and about three
addresses or sermons-don't know which,
by as many dyines. When will the speech
making upon such occasions end? At the
proper tsme it was announced from the
stand that there was repast on hand, and
that it would be furnished in the usual way.

was more than enough for all present. md
