The COUNTY EAR.

The Board of Directors of the Har-
ford County Fair will be in session
next Monday and number of import
ant matters will be disposed Of
They are now looking for some good
amusements that will be both novel
and entertaining and for this pur-
pose have appropriated $500, which
is the largest that the Society has ever
expended for any track diversions
outside of the regular events. The
races will probably be better than
has ever been known in the history
of the Society. The entries will in
clude horses from all over the coun-
try and lovers of the sport will have
an opportunityofseeing some genuine
good speed exhibitions.
1t is the object of the Directors to
try to arouse enthusiasm in the ex-
hibits. For some years past our
people have not been taking the
proper amount of interest, and while
many of the departments have been
we'll filled, the animals or articles
frequently come from distance. We
believe that Hartford county can pro-
duce as good, if not better, of every
thing that can be raised anywhere in
the country, and the only trouble
seems to be the lack Of local enthus-
iasm. If the Fair is to be main tanned
as permanancy it will not do to let
ourselves be outdone by foreigners.
We should each contribute our indi-
vidual mite towards makingit sue.
cess. The officers of the Society at
present are receiving considerable in
quiry from exhibitors from a dis
tance. While of course, they will be
welcomed, yet it would be far more
to the credit of the county to have
entirely local exhibits, or at least as
nearly so as possible. 1t is to be
hoped that this will be seriously con-
sidered in time to be of some avail
for this falls Fair.

This is the excuse for ncglecting all re-

but do you not take time to sleep and |

Could you not spare time. half an hour

Where is your Sunday, given expressly |
for devotion, which, properly improved,
would save the soul? How can you say
you have no time, when fifty-two Sun
lays each year close your place of
business, and invite you to Gods House
Of Prayer? Do you give your Sunday to
ares of business, writing letters, examin-
ng accounts, instead of doing what God
asks you to do? God has given you
plenty of time. Daniel, with a superin-
endcnce of kingdom, found time to go

hibit due zeal. Underit offenders OWL
ngproperty were reduced to poverty;
one impecunious wretch was SEN
fenced at the age of sixty-seven to
pay fines infinitely beyond his ability,
or be imprisoned for nearly fifty
years. But the fanatics were as i'll
satiable as the supporters ofthe Holy
Inquisition. They were enraged to
find that drunkards, when compelled
to inform on oath, erIured them
selves; that constables and States
attorneys made corrupt agreements
with liquor sellers; that grand jurors
refused to indict and petit jurors to
convict. Men were tried for ten
offences, all proved by the same evil
dence, and jnries found them guilty
of but one. The possession of a
United States license was made evil
dence of violation of the State law,
and iuries with the licenses held be-
fore their faces acquitted the prison.
ers. In their desperation, the fanatics
overleaped all Constitutional re-
straints. They passed a law author
izing any constable to stop men and
women on the highway and search
their persons, whenever he "sus-
pected" that they had the accursed
thing in their possession. They
passed another law forbidding the
payment of their compensation to
the officers of the State unless the
judges of the Supreme Court were
satisfied that they had discharged
their duties with zeal. And, finally,
in direct defiance ofthe Constitution,
they abolished the right of trial by
jury.
"This step was taken by the pros
titution of the Court Of Chancery.
Every place where liquor was un-
lawfully sold was declared a nuisance,
to be abated by proceeding brought
by the attorney for the State, or by
the Chancellor, of his own motion.
That officer is now directed by
statute to proceed, in term or in va
cation, with or without affidavits,
against such persons and places as
he thinks fit, or on such complaints
as he regards as satisfactory. Gen
eral reputation" is declared by law
to be presumptive evidence Of a
nuisance, and the maintenance ofthe
nuisance is to be enjoined as a con-
tempt ofcourt. The Chancellor may,
therefore, hale before him whom he
pleases, without indictment or specific
complaint, enjoin him, fine him not
less than $500 for contempt, and
and commit him to Jail. And this
in the face of the Constitutional pro-
vision that in all prosecutions for
criminal offences the accused has a
right to be tried by an impartialjury
of his peers, without whose unani-
nous consent he cannot be found
guilty. No wonder that when this
scandalous perversion of our insti-
tutions eliminated, asst did recently,
in a homicide by spy and informer,
the wrath of conservative citizens
boiled over. Such excuses, COM
mitted in the name of temperance,
have created a determination to do
away with the present statutes, no
matter what is substituted. They
are enough to make all men SYM
pathize with Bishop Magee, who de-
clared that, if the choice must be
made between England free and Eng
land sober, he should give the pre-
ference to freedom. But the sub
version of the safeguards of liberty
in Vermont has not brought with it
sobriety."
