The State Fair.

The State Fair.
The 32d Annual Exhibition of the State
Agricultural Society will open on the So
ciety's permanent grounds, on Monday,
September 22d, and will continue for
five days. The grounds Of this Society
are without question the best adapted and
best equipped for exhibition purposes Of
any fair grounds in the East. They are
located on the Pennsylvania Railroad be-
tween Newark and Elizabeth and only
eleven miles from New York. They are
easy of access by steam railroads from
any points in the State. The officers OF
the Society give US full assurance that the
coming exhibition will fully equal, if moi
surpass any previous fair held by this
reason TO doubt it, visit to the fair
grounds during the fair week, will be
time and money well invested. The
classification of stock, goods and produce
on these fair grounds, is one Of its most
popular features, both for the exhibitors
as well as for the visitors. On reaching
the grounds, all live stock, farm, garden
and orchard products are allotted to their
proper departments The different de.
partments are under the charge Of COM
petent superintendents, who are held re-
sponsible to the officers of the Society for
their skillful management. Tire State
Society has always been spatropized by
the best breeders of the best horses, neat
and thoroughbred cattle, sheep, swine
and poultry. The very choicest OF the
farm, garden and orchard products will
be found properly classified 10 their re-
spective places, and so arranged as to
give the visitors ample facilities TO ex-
anime these various products Of the soil
of our State. Extra efforts have been
made this year to enlarge tie display of
agricultural implements and farm ma
ebinery, a branch that is always OF inter-
est to the progressive farmer. In the de-
partment containil & the domestic and
manufactured articles, there is always TO
be found an infinite variety of domestic
wares, which are both interesting and in
structive to farmers wives and daughters.
The art department has been steadily
growing in size and popularity, showing
at glance what amateurs are doing in
artistic and tasteful decorations. As a
matter of fact and to be brief, we know
of no place where day or two can be
spent to greater advantage, than on the

The liquor. dealers Of this State, In con
vention assembled, have passed sere
OF high and mighty resolutions. Som,
OF them are rather funny. For example
gravely asserting that their calling is hon
est, legitimate and reputable, they com
plain that they are harried and oppressed
by State authorities and they demand
the rights and protection guaranteed them
by the Constitution of the United States.
These protesting liquor-dealers appear 10
have forg tten that the Supreme Court OF
the United States has formally declared
that their business is inimical TO good
morals aud good order aud 10 subject 10
the police regulations of the several States.
When New Jersey enacted the so-called
Werts high-license law, it was acting
under the authority referred TO In the
opinion above cited. Our liquor dealing
friends also fall afoul of the Democratic
Party In this State for its failure to repeal
the liquor license law which, they say,
sit was understood, should be put out
of the way as soon as the Democrats
should secure control of the Legislature.
This is an affair wholly between the liq-
uor- dealers and the Democratic Party.
We leave them to settle ii in their own
way. But when our disesteemed friends,
the liquor dealers, 10 high convention as
sembled, demand that the license fee
shall be reduced from $3.50 to 800, we
must protest. Under the Werts bill, a
Democratic measure, passed by Demo-
cratic Legislature, the license fee may be
;,o-aasad IN Ell mn If our namacratic
friends propose, as they may, to run the
license fee up to that figure, we shall wish
them godspeed. But reduce it2 Oh,
dear, no we couldn't think Of it.-Neto-

defendant took from the plaintiffs pair
of horses, priced at 1910, and kept them
some time, until one OF them was taken
sick. When able to be moved the defen-
dant took one OF the horses and placed 1t
In plaintiffs stable, and endeavored to do
the same with the other, but was prevent
ed. Subsequently the horse which had
been sick was impounded and sold for It's
keeping. The defendant claimed that he
had taken the horses on trial, with the
intention of keeping them at the price
named, IL they proved satisfactory that
they we're not satisfactory, and he had SO
Informed the plAinifffs, and had been
given further time In which to test them.
The plaintiffs claimed that the defendant
had told them that the horses worked sat
isfactorily and that the bargain was CON-
plete, and that there would have been no
question raised II the horses had remained
well. II was admitted that the plaintiffs
warranted the horses to be sound, except
that they had colds. The defendant
claimed that the seeds Of the disease
which developed into lung fever in the
bay horse, were present when he took
him, and that il it were held that there
was sale, there should be deduction
because OF failure of consideration. Yer
