 THE BALLOON ASCENSION At about B p. m. was successful throughout, the balloon rising about 14 miles and going in southerly direction came down in Filing o street, ten miles away, though some six teen miles of distance was traversed in the journey, the first attempt to drop resulting in decided move toward Snipsic lake. The balloon was in sight of the fair ground dur ing most of the journey ,and within few hours of the lady's departure she was back, safe, bal loon and all, the latter rolled up in small compass. We shall have description next week of the lady's journey, written by her self.
 Owing to lack of time much matter of interest pertaining to the fair is deferred until next week.

WEDNESDAY. THE FIRST DAY

U WEDNESDAY, THE FIRST DAY of the fair, opened with one of the clear est and balmiest of October skies, the mildness of the weather being in sharp contrast with that of the week previous. All day Tuesday the village streets wer>, lively with the unpacking from the cars and transportation to the grounds of ma terial for the forthc oming exhibit. giving evidence that the show was to be beyond any ever held by the society, in the matter of attendance, and variety and quality of exhibits.
 The exhibit of cattle was larger than in any former year, there being considerably over 100 pairs of working cattle and steers, though the show of dairy stock was not as large as in some years. In sheep, swine, poultry, etc., t..e-e were many entries and of good stock The district trains of working oxen were large and handsome, Hydeville having 28 pairs, and various other strings numbering 13 to 24 The hall shows, too. were ahead of any ever made by the society, the exhibition room be- ing entirely given up to fancy exhibits, mer- chandise, dairy implements, etc., and the show of produce and fruits made in tempe rary structure which was we'll filled. The mammoth hog, weight ], ,16O lbs., had pen near the center of the grounds, and was in- spected during the two days by most of the visitors. Near by it was the exhibit of agri- cultural implements, consisting of wheeled road scrapers, thresher, farm engines, blows, etc. In another place was the exhibit of car riages.
 THE SECOND D,DAY-THURsDAY,
 was in weather good copy of the first, the only point of objection being the unusual one for the season, of too much heat. The at tendance on this day was simply immense, long trains of cars coming in from both di- rections crowded with passengers, and the streams of carriages beside being continual and constant, requiring the utmost skill on the part of marshals and police to prevent collision and accident. The manner in which this great mass of people, estimated at 10000 or 12,0O0, was handled, and the smoothnees with which the program was carried on, with comparative freedom from accidents, showed good executive ability in the conduct of the fair. There was no break in the adver- tised program save that the free for all" class did not trot, one of the horses being disabled by an accident on the track, and others faile d to appearfin time. The managers exerted every effort to fill this class, but could no t work impossibilities. The omission was made as good as possible by numerous foot-races notion the program, and the crowd, knowing that the society always made it's program good if within it's power, good-naturedly ac- cepted the inevitable, and voted that it had got much more than it's moneys worth with out this race.
 THE TRoTTING
 on both days was we'll contested, requiring in one case seven heats, in another five to settle a race. The time made was not remarkable in any case and but few horses advanced their record any. A summary of tho different class

Story by Massachusetts republican stump speaker T went hunting last spring and fearful storm came on and I sought refuge in the hollow trunk of a tree. The rain poured in torrents and to my horror discovered that the tree was swelling and compressing itself inside 80 that felt myself being caught in it's em- brace. Soon conld hardly move, and I tried in vain to crawl out of hole, but I was fast. I concluded that my time had come and began to think of the whole of my past life. The deeds of years rolled through my mind. Last and finally the thought came that I voted for Butler last year. When that took hold of me felt so small that without the least apparent effort shook off the death embrace of the tree and found myself free again and went forth to meet my friends once more."

are never initiated or coaatcnestea. This Is e8-

highest value. As soon as it had been tested and
proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was
the purest, best and most valuable family medi.
ciao on earth many limitations sprung up and be,
gan to steal the notices in which the press and
people of the country had expressed the merits
of Il. B., and IN every way trying to induce SUI
fering invalids to their stuff instead, expect

Of II. B. Many others started nostrums put up
in similar style to IL. b., with variously devised
names in which the word Hop" or "Hops" were
used in a way to induce people to believe that
they were the same as Hop B tiers. AL such
pretended remedies or cures no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those with
the word Hop" or Hops" in their name, or in
any way connected with them or their name, are

THE political situation in Michigan is
enc of unusual gravity, according to
the Detroit Post. As stated by that
paper it Is as follows: Gone of the
purest and best of republican govern
ors has been defeated for reelection
and six republican congressman were
defeated at the same time; the legisla-
ture has a diminished republican ma
jority; senatorial election IS i'm pend
mig and q personal feud has broken out
into war of bitter words between the
most prominent aspirants for the sena-
torship. influential republican journ-
ais and distinguished republican citi-
z9ns have taken determined stand
against one or both of these gentlemen;
one effort Is now On foot to prevent
the settlement of the senatorial sue
'cesslon by a caucus CT republican
members of the legislature" This de-
plorable condition of things, the Post
says, Is the result of bossism, patron
age and the interference OF federal Of
fee holders in the politics of the state.
The remedy, it adds, is to return the
control OF the party to the people and
to settle the senatorial contest In &C
cordance with their wishes, regardless
Of pledges that have been made by in
dlvldual members of the legislature.
