Scenes and Hardships of

THURSDAY.

Owing to the heavy rain that fell
on Wednesday, and the threatening
appearance Of the ather on Thurs
day morning, but very little demon
strations were made up to 2 o'clock
P. NJ. But few arrivals from other
points came in on the first day. At
9 o'clock p. NJ. the Post here, with
Others, who had arrived at that time,
formed in procession On Hills cor
ner and marched twice around the
square, hating for a short time at
the B. Z. & c. depot. They then
marched to Jeffers' grove, which had
been secured for the occasion.
The order of the procession was
as follows: First, the artillery; next,
the Beallsville Cornet Band, which
rendered some excellent music; then
come the soldiers of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, commanded by
Gems. King and Keyser; next, Mar
5ial Band, which was followed by a
company Of citizen soldiers organ
lied for the occasion by citizens
King and Hamilton.
On arriving at camp the crowd
was treated to display of artillery
exercises, which, under the control
of Capt Wallace, of GAINESVILLE,
made the woods howl with their re-
verberations. Nothing occurred on
the first day Of much note,
"save an occasional shot of the random gun,
Which no foe was sullenly firing"
Much praise is due the young la
dies of Beallsville for the beautiful
and artistic way in which they ar
ranged the speakers stand. Every
vestige of decoration was appropri-
ate and in good shape,

In our account of the Fair, and
owing to the hurry at the time, We
omitted speaking of one of the most
commendable displays on exhibit
the Poultry. Monroe County farm
ers are rapidly coming to the front
in the raising of fine poultry and
the fowls on exhibit spoke volumes
for their enterprise and was, with
out doubt, one of the finest in Eas-
tern Ohio. The number present on
Friday was also much larger, than
reported, as we failed to take into
conside ration the number of halt
tickets sold. The number present
on that day was not far from 5000.

Child Marriage in India.

Christian missions are be ginning to
produce really practical moral fruit in
India. Dir. Morrison. for many years
engaged in mission work in that coun-
try in connection with the English
Presb, terian Church. writes in most
encouraging manner. Touching child
marriage and the re-marriage Of
widows. he says Il great change of
opinion has taken place. Public opin-
ION has by various means been tested
on the general question. and several
leading lindoos have given opinions
in favor of Legislative change. Five of
the most prominent leaders of the
Hindoo faith have expressed themselves
in favor of the remarriage of widows.
hitherto disallowcd. and in favor also
of some measures TO check the multi
plication Of widows by some mild legis-
iative enactments in the direction of
hindering child marriage. As the
ilindoo law now stands, there are mill
lions of females doomed to the fate of
daughter from girlhood. 1t
