The County Fair i'm September.

It has now been some weeks since the pre-
MUM lists of the Henry County Agricultural
Joint Stock Company have been distributed,
and the farmers and mechanics are probably
posted as to the very liberal premiums of
fered exhibitors. The fair will be held on
the 22d, 23d;; oath and 25th days of September
and the premiums will be paid in money
While the premiums are offeredby the society
as an inducement to those who raise the pro-
ducts of the country, to bring together speci-
mems of the results of their labors, yet the
money consideration connected with these
annual shows, is the least among the benefits
that accrue from them. The county fair is
the annual reunion of the people of the coun-
try for the comparison of notes, and to talk
over the experiences of the past year-the
success and failures in the various depart
ments of labor. At that time the crops have
been matured and largely gathered, and it is
wise to take short season of rest and recrea-
tion, and become acquainted with your neigh
bors. The fair offers the opportunity for
meeting of the people to discuss all the vari-
Gus topics connected with raising and breed
ing, and to the intelligent farmer the ideas
thus gathered are worth incomparably more
than the time and money spent. The time is
at hand when all should begin to make ready
| for the fair, in the selection and preparation
of afticles and stock. Each one should con-
tribute something to add interest to the exhi-
bition. While you look at what your neigh
Dor has done, do something yourself, that he
may find attraction also. Don't regard the
premium contended for as the only incentive
to excel, but work from a higher plane-the
development of the resources of your county.
The county fair, with such spirit, can be
made a most efficient auxiliary in developing
the ambition to excel in the different depart
ments of labor. We learn excellence by COM
parison. If progress can be made on the ex-
perience of others, it is information cheaply
purchased.

The Monument.
Its Dedication on Saturday

The outdoor exercises at Washing
| ton last Saturday were Il comparative
| failure, while the oratiOns at the CAPT
| tol were great successes. 1t was the
coolest daV of the winter. A bleak
| wind blew strong from the northwest,
not Il sign of thawing appeared, and
men and women wrapped up thorough

head the sky was pleasant, and that is
all that can be said As consequence
all the troops that had overcOats wore
! them, and those without tried to keep
warm by bundling themselves mp in
undcrclothes. The moisture froze in
the instruments of the musicians, and
! those who took part in the outdoor eX
ercises shivered and beat their bOsoms
in desperate attempts to keep from
freezing.
Early in the morning the procession
began to form, but it was nearly II
o'clock before Gen. Sheridan and his
staff appeared, and the column moved
past the agricultural building to he
massed on the snowy ground beneath
the shadow of the monument. 1t in

trade-unionS.
In the wooden pavilion erected for
the exercises at this spot, the proceed
ings were hasty. A few congressman,
descendants of Washington and visi-
tors dotted the seats, while on the dais
were President Arthur, Senators Sher-
man and Bayard, Horatio King, w.
w. COrcoran, George Bancroft and
Col. Casey. During the exercises all
those present walked back and forth,
stamped their feet on the loose boards,
and raised such a din that several times
Senator Sherman asked for compare
tive quiet. After Senator Sherman
spoke. clergyman named Suter from
Alexandria, read "a long prayer. DR..

Arthur confined his remarks to brief
compass.
The Masonic part of the program
was managed expeditieusly, the main
interest attaching to the fact that
Grand Master Parker used the gavel
and Bible which Washington employed

After this program was over Gen.
Sheridan wheeled his horse, and start
ed his column at high noon, the wind |
still blowing gale. The route lay |
across the frozen ground of the mali, |
up round the White House, on to Penn
sylvania avenue, and then down its |
broad asphalt surface to the capitol, a |
distance of two miles. Perhaps 1900 /
men were in line when the capitol was
reached. On the way but scanty at
tempts at decoration were attempted,
though a good many people were on
the streets as the procession passed

+ AT the capitol Mr.. Arthur kept the
troops waiting half an hour before lie
was ready to review them. Then he
climbed upon the stand erected for the
purpose with his cabinet and diplo-
mats. 1t took half an hour for the pa
rade to pass. Then Mr.. Arthur started
! for the senate wing, and spent half an
| hour in Senator Sewell's committee
room warming up" as Mr.. Edmunds
told the senators who were anxious to
lbegin. Then the fringe of people who
| had chung to the eastern steps to watch
the procession disappeared, while in
| side the house galleries chOked up with
the fashion of the city, who were not
to be disappointed in seeing that part
of the ceremonies. The representa-
| tives mOdestly took back seats and
waited for their distinguished visitors.
Soon the usher announced the presi-
dent and his cabinet. Down the main
aisle with Frelinghuysen, Mr.. Arthur
walked looking Indifferent and tired.
! The other cabinet officers followed,
and amidst applause the party took
seats IN front. In moment the su-
/ preme court, without the chief Justice,
made its appearance and was similarly
received. Likewise the diplomats, and
! finally came the senators, army officers,
heads of bureaus and the mass of hang
ers-on. 1t was the usual gathering on
such occasions audience of men with
regulations and ambitious men who
are talked about.
IL was after 2.30 o'clock before Mr..
EdmuDds called the assembly to order,
and a clergyman offered long prayer.
When he finished, Mr.. Edmunds intro
duced Daniel instead of Long. He rec
titled his mistake, aud ex-Gov. Long
took Mr.. Winthrop's address from his
pocket and stood up. Every one cheer
ed the popular young orator. He pro-
nOunced the Grafton charmingly, was
frequently applauded and thoroughly
enjoyed the opportunity.
Again the Marine band played in a
corridor, and the classic featured Yir-
ginian, John w. Daniel, congressman
elect, delivered without notes an i'm
passioned and eloquent grafton. 1t
was a happy and marked contrast. The
blonde New Highlander, slow, distinct
and scholarly, and the dark haired
Virginian, full of fire and passionate
defamation. The two efforts are not
to be compared. Each was admirable
in its way. At 80 the last word was
said and the audience dispersed.
In the evening the president gave
his first and last public reception o
the winter. 1t was crowded all the
evening with the visiting miitiameu
and the people attracted-to the city.
