The Agricultural society.

The adjourned meeting of the Agri-
cultural society was held at the Town
Hall yesterday. The committee appoint
ed last week to arrange premium list,
reported, and the list was adopted. Some
important changes were made,and we be-
lieve the list will prove more satisfactory
to competitors than at previous fairs.
For instance, there are three classes for
horses, and in other matters much
wider range is given than heretofore,
Liberal premiums will be offered, the
aggregate largely exceeding that of pre-
viOus years. The committee also prOvid-
ed for some rare sport, one of the main
features being slOw race, in which the
owners are to change horses and the last
three under the wire take the premiums.
Judges for the different departments
were selected. The indications point to
the most successful fair yet held. The
farmers want to become interested and
then success is assured. for upon them
depends the exhibit. Let all do their
duty.

SATURDAY. JULY 2l. 1883.
Tickers ON "a strike,

Thursday noon the telegraph operators
in the principal cities throughout the
country donned their hats and stepped
down and out, refusing to work until
certain demands made by them were ac-
ceded to by the company. At the latest
yesterday, neither party was disposed to
give in and as consequence all tele-
graphic business was sadly interrupted.
What the outcome will be il is hard to
tell. The demand on the part of the tel
egrapher's brotherhood is for an increase
of Is per cent in wages and decrease
in number of hours for days work and
double pay for Sunday work. AS gen.
eral thing strikes are disastrous to the
strikers let the result be what it may. 1t
is to be hoped that some settlement may
be speedily reached, the country cannot
afford, in these days of progress, to have
even partial suspension of telegraphic
facilities.

Long Coming, but Well Deserved.
BURT LAKE, July 18, 1883.


20 the Editor of the Northern Tribune.
Inotice in the TRIBUNE of July 14th,
an item that Ithamer Haskins, of this
county, has just established his claim
for pension, and will receive about
$1,000 back pay. How many Of your
readers will give the matter a second
thought after reading the articlep Yet
we, his comrades, (and there are some
ten or twelve Of us settled on Burt lake,
take quite an interest in the matter.
Ithamar Haskins, familiarly known as
"Uncle Haskins" by his old companions
in arms, enlisted in 1861, In company l.,
9Th Ohio cavalry, being at that time oyer
fifty years of age. At the time he en-
listed he was and is yet minister Of
the gospel. but, not like many, he did
not apply for chaplain's position,
which he could have had on two differ
ent occasions, but preferred to do his
duty in the ranks. How many of us
look back to those dark days and remem-
Der the pleasant countenance of Uncle
Haskins in time of sickness or danger,
always cheerful word, and always
ready to "lend a hand" At that time
his hair was as white as snow, but he
had the nerve and ambition then that
has since, by old age, been somewhat
dampened, and we are pleased to learn
through the TRIBUNE that his claim has
been allowed, it will help smooth the
pathway of the few years that are left
him of this life, and we hope will make
the rest of his days pleasant. The gov
ernment has done just thing in giving
pension to this old veteran, for a
braver man, or one that done more for
his country during the four years Of his
enlistment does not exist, and we all
unite in saying, aoe are glad, and that
he may live long to enjoy it, is the wish
of his old comrades.
