Hdfpcr'S in connection with a paper on

cation to the Baltimore Worniag Herald, of
the 18th: 81 notice that Mr.. Robert C. Thac-

of the brightest men in the Republican party
in this state as well as one of the most eio-
gu, mt and pleasing political speakers. He
has powerful friends to help him, and am
told that he is pretty sure to get lucra-
tive Office under Blane's administration"
The large display of Mason & Hamlin
organs at the fair last week was made by
Mr.. E. Lynch, of Bay View, in this county
Mr. Lynch was very badly treated by some
one at the fair. He carefully removed the
cases covering the organs and piled them
up in the rear of the exhibition building
placing card upon them bearing his
name, with request that the ownership
lie respected, but notwithstanding all this
the greater part of them were carried oil
aud perhaps burnt, as nothing could bt
heard of them afterward.

AT our late fair, the farmer gazed it

elephantue proportions the thrifty house
wife's eye glistened at the products of he
dominion, but, forsooth, the tairest sight 0
all was the array of feminine lovelines
which Eikton exhibited One often woul,
suffer his gaze to wander from tn
exciting incidents of the race course t.
rest upon the flushed, beautiful faces whicI
peered in breathless anxiety above him il
the Grand Stand. We are inclined to be
