Our County Fair.

The twelfth annual fair of the Hartford
County Agricultural Society will be held at
Bel Air, on the 18th, 14th, 10Th and 10th of
October. The directors have done every
thing in their power to promote the success
of the exhibition. They offer $4,000 in pre-
miums, and having regarded and widened
the track and increased the amount of the
purses offered for trials of speed, it is expect
ed that number of fast trotters will be
entered. This feature of the fair is attract.
i've to great many persons, but it should
not be allowed to divert attention from the
main objects for which the agricultural society
was established, namely, the encouragement
of generous rivalry in the cultivation of farm
products and the raising of useful farm stock.
The annual address will be delivered by
Prof. S. B. Heiges, of York, Pa. Prof
Heiges is an instructive and interesting
speaker on topics pertaining to farming, and
we are safe in promising an address from him
that will be worth listening to.
A number of amusements will be provid-
ed for each day of the fair and ample ar.
rangements will be made for the display and
proper care of stock, implements, &c. on ex-
hilton.
To make the fair successful and useful to
the county we should not depend upon ex-
hibits from a distance to fill the stalls or the
exhibition buildings, but every farmer and
housekeeper who has anything, in the way
work, &C., superior in quality, should send it
to the fair. When the people of Hartford
cease to feel sufficient interest and county
pride in making good display of the re-
sources of our county, the days of usefulness
of the fair will be over. There is something
on every farm and in every household in the
county that will be well worth showing and
we hope it will be forthcoming at the APP.
preaching fair.

The Alabama Claims Commission.

1t is not surprising that Republican news
paper should fly to the defence of ]. A. j.
Creswell, whose snug berth in the Alabama
Claims Commission, at $4,000 year for do
ing nothing or next to nothing, has just been
laid bare by Democratic administration.
AS to the pretence that the Commission is
overworked let our Republican cotemporary
explain, if it can, why James G. Blaine's son
Walker, who is one of the clerks to the COM
mission, was allowed to spend eight mon tbs
last year away from Washington, in election
eering for his father, while drawing his pay
as clerk the whole time.
Henry O'Connor, Jr another clerk, has
been in the real estate business in Washing
ton, and no one is simple enough to believe
that he does not draw his salary as clerk reg
ularly. Many other clerks, it is charged
never do any work besides signing receipts
for their salary.
The Alabama Claims Commission, as at
present constituted, is monstrous fraud

sells destroyed by the Confederate steamer
Alabama during the war. The war ceased
twenty years ago and any claims unsettled
at this late date probably never can and never
will be settled. Certainly they never will be
adjusted while they afford an excuse for Cres-
we'll and other officers of the commission to
draw large salaries. All the unsettled claims
had better be turned over to Congress-
Thousands of dollars would be saved thereby
which are now paid to useless Republican Of.
