GRANGE FAIR,

The Fair held in the Grange and
Masonic Halls in So. Londonderry,
Thursday, Oct 2lSt, under the auspices
of Farmers Grange, and assisted by
Mountain Home and West Branch
Oranges, was very pleasant and inter-
esting occasion. The outlook in the
morning was somewhat discouraging in
consequence Of the shower--whloh
withheld many of other towns FROM
making their entrics-however the
clouds broke away and the day proved
pleasant and most favorable.
The exhibit of agricultural products
was good, a large number of speci-
meas of potatoes We're entered, COM
prising twelve varieties. The best
specimens Were the Hebron and James
Wick varieties,
The exhibition of garden vegetables
was fine throughout.
The entries of grain were light. a
specimen of Nulless barley raised by
l.. +, Woodward of Landgrovc was
examined with much interest. Mr..
Woodward also entered fine specimens
of two varieties of wheat. ii. +. Fem
of Landgrove produced an excellent
specimen of oats, weighing over 40 lbs.
per bushel, which beats every thing.
But his big bects, though larger than
any'other beets, didn't beat.
The show of fruit was principally
apples of which there were many vari-
cites.
+. A. Brooks entered large and
fine lot of box honey.
In the fancy and household depart
ment there was a grand display of
handiwork, comprising numerous and
varied fancy, and many household ar
ticles representing industry and skill,
all of, which were excellent and of high
merits. The exhibit in this department
was pleasing and far cxcelled that of
the agricultural; which substantiates
the fact that the ladies are prompt and
determined in the work of building up
a new enterprise.
Although the Fair was not largely
attended it was complete success, and
much credit is due 10 all who assisted
in the enterprise.
Reported per order of society.

PITTsBURGH, January lS.-A spe-
cial from Mount Pleasant, Pa, says
The Norwood and Standard mines
were heavily guarded last night. The
events Of the last week, however, had
an ihtimidating effect upon the men
willing to work, and very few presented
themselves. No disturbance occurred.
The guards and deputies are holding
undisputed possession. This morning
Sheriff Stewart, with twenty-five depu-
ties. went to Norwood to arrest the
Hungarian who threatens TO shoot any
man who goes to work. The Hunga-
rians at the place saw the party COM
ing, and surrounded the house in which
the striker had concealed himself. The
men were armed with clubs and the
women with knives, and they swore
they would die before they would al
low the striker to be arrested. The
sheriff held council and determined
not to precipitate contest with his
small band, and then retreated. II
will be impossible to make any arrests
by ordinary process of law without
bloodshed.

says: The safe in County Treasurer
Hartman's Office was blown open early
this morning and 5000 in money,
$4,000 in notes, and $4,000 in county
warrants taken. The notes were the
personal property of Deputy-Treasurer
Shaefer, payable to his order. They
are Of no value to any other person.
The warrants had just been signed by
the county commissioners, but as they
had all been recorded by the treasurer
they are worthless. The explosion
shattered the doors of the safe and
shook all the houses in the neighbor-
hood, but some time elapsed before the
cause Of the conclusion was known,
and in the mean while the safe-breakers
ESCAPED.

PETERSBURG, Jan. lS, 1886.
The friends in this city Of General
Walter @. Newberry have information
tha. he has just come into possession
Of lsrge fortune, estimated at between
100000 and s600,0 by the death of
wealthy uncle IN Chicago.
General Newberry was an officer in the
Federal army, aud commanded regi-
mcnt in the famous battle Of the era
ter. in front Of Petersburg. After the
war he settled in this city, and by his
liberal course and kind disposition woD
The confidence Of our people. lie filled
the mayors Office for one term. and
made Just and impartial officer.
With Colonel j. b. Raulston, late col
leotor OF internal revenue for the DAN
vile district, he engaged in business
here and erected and conducted a large
brewery establishment. Subsequently
he returned to the North. He is kindly
remembered here and in Richmond by
reason Of the conservative course he
took in politics and for the valuable
services he rendered the white people
Of the State in the trying days OF recon-
Struotion. His friends will rejoice with
him over his good fortune.
A double-tenement dwelling in the
flats Of Pocahontas, belonging to the
estate Of the late T.. NJ. Cox, was
burned to the ground this morning be-
tween the hours Of and 4 O'Clock
loss between three and four hundred
dollars. The house had been unoccu-
pied for some time, and was set on fire.
The dwelling on Harrison street occu-
pied by Mr.. George Crichton acci-
dentally caught fire on Saturday, and
vas considerably damaged.
Mr. Joseph j. Whitehead, formerly
4 merchant in this city, died at his resi-
dence, in Dinwiddie county, on Satur-
day. and was buried yesterday after
noon. He was a man Of sterling charac-
ter and energy.
The term Of the Hastings Court
which begins this week will be one of
the busiest and one Of most interesting
known for a long time. Judge d. NJ.
Bernard. recently elected TO that posi-
ton By the General Assembly, will
preside for the first time. The crimi-
nal docket embraces a number Of cases
varying in importance from the charge
Of murder to that of misdemeanor,
while the civil docket embraces suits
against the State, suits for damages
against railroads and the city, and
many other cases Of interest.
Much anxiety was caused in the iami-
ly Of Mr.. Il. \. Verell on Saturday by
the absence Of their son and the fear
hat he had been drowned while skating.
The little fellow went skating with
some companions up the river on Fri
day afternoon and did not return home.
1t appears that he broke through the
ice. and on leaving the river went to
the house of a friend at Matoaca, where
he spent the night. IL was reported in
the city on Saturday Jhat he had been
drowned. His appearance at home that
evening sllayed all anxiety.
Fortunately, though hundreds Of our
people have been on the ice this season,
no accident has yet been reported.

Trouble iu "a whisHey Pool.

lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
PEORIA. ILL.,, January lS.-There
has been a storm brewing over the
Peoria whiskey pool for some time,
which eliminated Saturday when it
was asserted that Spellman & Co., of
Pekin, were selling a good way under
prices. a little investigation showed
that cut had been made more or less
extensively all along the line. The
trouble in the pool seems to have
originated from the fact that not enough
money had been subscribed to pay for
surplus goods. The Peoria dstillers
charge it on Spellman Il Co., and in re-
turn for this the latter company charge
back. An effort is being made to fill
the depleted treasury of the pool,
which will be done, and all the cutters
whipped into line.

Whereas by the 18th section Of the act

gold dollar Of the United States Of
25 $40 grains standard fneness is

Of the President to use all lawful means

the opinion of this House he has hither-

discharge that duty.
The Speaker pro TEN. thought that the
resolution properly belonged to the

Mr.. Wadsworth remarked that it did
not at all refer to coinage, but involved

him to keep quiet and stay in his room.
The lynchers made for the huge iron
doors and commenced their work Of
battering them down. This was the
most difficult part, and half an hour
elapsed before they succeeded in gaining
an entrance. They entered the inclo-
sure, soon got into Epps's cell and un-
tremendously jerked him from his bed.
Epps yelled and howled like a maniac
at the first sight Of the strong men who
had come to take his life, but a blow on
the mouth silenced him. 1t was but
the work Of a moment to drag him out
side, and he was soon hanging from the
limb Of tree in the yard, the rope
around his neck sitting his cries as he
was hurled into eternity. He died in a
few minutes after being strung up.
