GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

Up to the LIST inst. there has been no
rain at Portland, Oregon, for one hun
dred and fifteen days.
The Philadelphia mint pays S61a cents
apiece for trade dollars, which is the val
ue of the silver in them.
The frosts of Sept. 8, 8, and 10, did
great damage west as well as east, and
extended as far south as Georgia.
Ten cars loaded with canned corn will
start from Portland, Maine, billed through
direct to Portland, Oregon; they should
load back with canned salmon.
Financially the New England fair at
Manchester, n. H., has succeeded beyond
the anticipation Of the officers. The DIS
plays generally were very creditable.
The post-office at Concord, n. H., was
robbed one night last week, evidently by
professionals, who took from the safe
5000 in money and S16S7 in stamps
Metallic red is the color of the new
2-cent stamps that go into circulation on
October /. The distribution will be made
from New York, beginning September Is.
A delivery clerk in the Cleveland, o.,

money received for stamps. He is sew
enty years of age, and acknowledges his
guilt.
Capitalists have bought large tract of
land Immediately surrounding the Great

where they will build mammoth hotel,
put a steamer on the river and try and
make the place the Niagara of the west.
The rage for cattle-raising is on the
half as much in demand as they were six
months ago. Old ranchmen who have
sold out during the last two years made
a good thing of it. Little fellows who
started in with fifty head and were goins
to be ''catte kings in few years ar,
selling out without regard to cost, anC
Texas beef is cheaper.
The Savannah Echo, a newspaper edit

charge that within the last six months
nearly two hundred innocent, law-abid

the interior of Georgia have BEEF
murdered, shot, whipped and driven from
their homes by vigilance committees, ant

ABOUT THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Fair Ground Company are
putting the sheds, buildings, track
etc. at the fair ground in readiness
for the annual fair. They are also
doing considerable work outside tow
ard working up a successful fair.
Here let us remind the public that it
is impossible, without the coopera-
ton of those interested in the fair
outside, to make it what it ought to
be, and creditable to Orleans county.
There would be no difficulty in max
ing far which would be of great
credit to the county, if those who
own good stock, meritorious animals
and farm products would put them
on exhibition. The floral hall de-
partments, usually creditable, so far
as the ladies are concerned, might be
improved by larger display of the
more valuable articles in each depart
ment, and less of the cheaper. We
notice that the managers will require
''meritorious' articles if they give
the holders free tickets, and this is
right. We have known parties to
gain admittance two days on articles
that were not worth a dime. Every
woman has something of her own
make that is valuable, which will add
to the attractiveness of the fair. The
early frosts have done much damage,
but we hope the fruit and vegetable
exhibitors will make extra efforts to
fill that department.
Hon. Ossian Ray of New Hamp-
shire, an Orleans county boy, who
studied law with the late Jesse Coop
er, will deliver an address on the Sec
ond day of the fair. Mr.. Ray has
been in congress and is one of the
brightest men in New Hampshire
His address will be of great interest
Arrangements are being made 70
other attractions, not yet announced
which will add to the interest of th
fair. If it is made beneficial to tn
county on account of the exhibits

WHY THE SYNDICATE DID
NOT TAKE THE SOUTH.
EASTERN.

A st. Adams correspondent of the
Springfield Republican explains the
failure of the syndicate to buy the
Southeastern. The final act of the
Canadian Pacific was to transmit to
the syndicate its ultimatum, which
was that its claim of 81 100000 must
be paid at once and in full and that
in future there would be no inter
change of business whatever between
the Canadian Pacific and the South
eastern. AS the first clause of this
defeated at once the proposed COM
promise with the creditors and the
last would at once take away two
thirds OF more of the business of the
Southeastern, it of course terminated
the negotiations of the New York
syndicate and forced it to retire from
the field. The Canadian Pacific
coupled its ultimatum to the syndi-
cate with notice of Immediate pro-
ceedings to foreclose the mortgage
nearly all the bonds secured by which
it holds as collaboration default in
the payment of interest as provided
in the deed of trust and mortgage.
Of course the result of this will be
just what the Canadian Pacific has
been for many months working to
bring about, and for which Barlow S
failure was precipitated, namely, the
obtaining of the road by foreclosure
for the amount of the mortgage.
$1,750,000 by the Canadian Pacific
syndicate. This has evidently been
their purpose from the start, and
the announcement of the forma,
ton of a Canadian and Pacific
line via Rouses Point and the St
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain ant
Portland and Ogdensburg roads
which by the way, has been a scourc'
of much merriment to railroad men
was a mere ruse to cover their rea
purpose.
This situation alarms the Passump
sic and Boston, Concord and Mon
treal interests, as they anticipat
that if the Southeastern fall into tn
hands of the Canadian Pacific tn
Portland and Ogdensblrrg will follow
as it can be purchased or leased at
low figure, and the business, as far a
possible, be turned toward Portland
thus depriving the Passumpsic Of it
mileage from st. Johnsbury to Whit
River junction and the Boston, Con
cord and Montreal and lower road
of the rest of the distance 10 Boston
The result is stated on good author
ity to be, that a movement is no
vigorously inaugurated by the Pas
sumpsic and Boston, Concord an
Montreal to form a syndicate an
take the Southeastern themselves
and it is likely to succeed. This wi
be complete check to the Canada
, Pacific, as even should the Rouse
Point line be attempted, it can /
, blocked by these roads, which, OWN
to their peculiar situation, have col

the people must make it SO and we
urge upon them the advantages of
little personal effort. A good fair is
an advertisement of a county, as well
as benefit to every man who has
respectable exhibits. Orleans with
her excellent soil and stock, not to be
excelled in any other northern coun-
ty, ought to show herself at her coun-
ty fair. The officers of the Agricul-
tural Society and the town commit
tees will do their part toward max
ing the coming exhibition success.

Recently, in answer to the inqui

Recently, in answer to the inquiry
of friend as to his opinion respect
ing the republican prospects it 1884,
Mr.. Blaine said: cat the present
time 1 regard the prospects of the
republicans in the campaign of 1884,
better than they were a year before
the campaign of 1880, and in every
way more hopeful than they were
year prior to the election of 1876.
For years there has not been so gen.
eral feeling of harmony in the re-
publican party as exists at the pres
ent time, while the absence of any
thing like unity of sentiment on the
leading issue, the tariff, by the Dem
ocratic leaders leads intelligent men to
distrust that organization more than
ever" Being asked about available
candidates he said that he thought a
Western man would be stronget,
all things considered, than an East
ern man.

every man may vote as he pleases,

The FALL TRADE.-The testimony
from all parts of the country is now
practically unanimous that the pros
poets for the fall trade are good. Brad
streets Journal has reports in detail
from AZ important points showing that
stocks of merchandise Except dry
goods are comparatively small that
purchases have for some time been
made only to meet immediate wants
and that business is already brisk in
some localities. The Northwest is
most conspicuous in the improvement,
but even in the South, though the dry
weather has injured the cotton crop,
the farmers are better off than a year
ago. Allowance must generally be
made for the enthusiasm of business
men in looking forward to a season s
operations, but in this case the ex-
pectation of better times is based on
broad economic principles. There is,
however, no probability of a large
advance in prices, and profits will be
small.
The stock market has been really
buoyant the past week for the first
time in months, and for a few days
the advance was rapid and large.
There was sharp reaction Saturday,
due to realizations. Manipulation was
no doubt the chief cause of the rise,
but there was a basis for it in the
recent investment purchases. While
the quantities of new securities placed
on the market are heavy load, they
need not discredit stocks OF mortga-
ges that unquestionably have real
value.

Timid spectators of the political
contest in Iowa, who were sure the
republican party there was going to
the bow-wows because it held that if
a majority of the voters in the state
wanted prohibition, they were enti-
tied to it, may brace up a little now.
The indications of the canvass at
present are that the state will be re-
publican by satisfactory majority.

Capt. J. A. Mellon will take a small boat, on the arrival of the Steamer Mo- have at Fl Dorado Canyon, and with a selected crew continue up river to Dev- ips Gate and Black Canyons. Capt. Mel
 lon is instructed to plant in the solid rock in the above canyons six ring bolts, four feet long, of inch and three-quarter iron, the rings of which are eight inches in diameter. These ring bolts are for the purpose of securing lines from the steamers whilst passing over the dan gerous rapids that are encountered in the Black and Devils Gate Canyons The C, s. N. Co. during high water run their boats to the Virgin River, and con- sequently wish to have all the safety possible. The S. w. NJ. Co. are min ing large quantities ot salt on the Vir- gin, and will have the same shipped to theil mill at Fl Dorado. The scenery from Fo5k Mohave to the Virgin River is the grandest and most picturesque of any on this con inent. In places the river is scarcely wide enough for the steamer 10 pass between the massive ana grim sentines of trap and basaltic rock. At other points the river widens out like vast sea, and on either side the dark and gloomy mountains stand like the guardians of holy trust, forbIdding tle unhallowed footsteps of man to des- ecra' e the sacred precincts beyond All who can should take a trip up the river during high wafer, and thereby learn how small figure man cuts in this grand creation of Nature.
