COLONEL DUDLEY, the commissioner
of pensions occasionally gets mad and
throws epistolary bricks. The follow
ing bat was thrown at the head of Mr..
WARREN H. ANDERSON, of Hanesburg,
Penn:
think, all things considered, that
your actions in this case have been char
acterized by the most monumental
cheek of any case that has been pre-
scented during my administration of the
office. A man who will waste twenty
years before applying for pension and
then ask it for the loss of one OF his
teeth, and then swamp this office with
useless correspondence, the only effect
of which has been to impede the adju-
dication of claims of worthy and deserv.
ing pensioners by consuming the time OF
the clerical force of the Office in answer.
ing such letters, and then as if thai
were not enough would try to enlist
the sympathies of two senators and one
member of Congress all on the same
day-a fact which surpasses anything
that has come within my knowledge
such a claimant does not seem to be
worthy of much unusual consideration
You are at liberty to publish this letter
if you desire.

WILLIAM BISSELL. Editor.
Phillips County Agricultural and
Mechanical Association.


Mechanical Association.
Elsewhere in this impression will be
found report of the proceedings had
at the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the above association. A strong
board of directors. have been elected,
being well distributed over the county.
The time selected for holding the fair
being the first week in September, thus
giving the society an opportunity to for
ward a selection of the exhibits to the
State fair, which will be held later; and
Phillips county should by all means
have department there. In many
things last year we could have excelled
or at least made creditable showing.
Last years Phillips county fair was a
success, far above the expectations OF
the most sanguine, while it was fact
that but part of the county took hold
of it in earnest, and only shows what
could be done with general and hearty
cooperation of the whole people. a
few men cannot make a successful fair.
There must be an interest taken in it by
the people. Let every farmer or stock
raiser take hold of the matter and raise
something for exhibition and see that
your township and neighborhood are
a represented.
This year the prospects are that we
shall not, as heretofore, be confined to
agricultural products alone, but viii be
able to make good showing in hOrti-
culture as well. The prospects are that
apples, pears, peaches, cherries, grapes
and all small fruits will be produced to
considerable extent this season.
Some parts of the county last year
failed to take an interest in the fair, al
leging that it was Phillipsburg asso-
citation. While this was erroneous last
year it is doubly so this. every effort
being made to have the whole county
represented on the board and IN its gen
eral management. From time to time
the HERALD shall take occasion to re-
fer to different phases of the question
and we propose to talk fair until every
man in the county will dream about it
if such a thing is possible, and we hope
that the other county papers will no
fail to give it an occasional notice.

The Louisville Courier-J Journal admits
that Mr.. Ingersoll's funeral orations
are well enough, but thinks he should
try himself on obituary resolutions.
The following form is suggested as a
starter: "ResOlved, That in the loss
of our fellow-citizen, Shmpkins Stack
pole, we recognize the absence of life
in the said S. S.; that we do not know
whether our fellow-citizen StackpOle is
now in comfortable quarters; that we
cannot say whether Stack. is now red
hot or merely heating; that Stack. was
always a good fellow; that it is unrea-
sonable to suppose that any punish
ment will be visited upon Stack; that
we can only gaze vacantly at the doubt
full beyond, and conjecture as to the
happiness or existence of Stack; that
we hope he is where flowers are bloom
ing, and where pie is perenniel; that
this is the way we think matters should
be arranged for Stack; that a copy OF
these resolutions be sent to all the news
papers, with the request that they may
be published gratis; that the publisher
of these resolutions, being a member Of
the church, will be amply repaid in the
expectations he will have of reward
in the next world Gf there be any mex
