FINE BuTTER-By our report of the fair it
will be seen that there were no less than eigh.
teen entries for the special'premiums on butter
offered by the FREE TRADER, and that the first
premium was awarded to Mrs. Jane Wright, OF
Farm Ridge. We took a look at the butter on
exhibition, and felt proud of the ladies Of our
county that could produce such display. How
in the word the committee could discover grades
in u lot where all seemed so perfect puzzled us
exceedingly. Yet, doubtless, the butter of Mrs.
Wright. of which splendid roll was kindly pre-.
sentcd US is very perfection itself; while at the
same time roll presented us by Mrs. Howe, Of.
iered at the asane exhibition is certainly so lit
tie behind it that it takes better judges than we
are to discover the difference.

NEW PARTY PRoposED.--A great Civil Service
Reform Party, is the latest novelty in the politi-

Alta says that "reform In the civil service is a
by means ofa third party. There is no instance
OF the success, in national contest, of a third
party third party implies split in an exist
ing party, which, Of course, means the success
Of the rival organization. In concluding the
same note the editor gives this good advice :
The best plan to secure civil service reform is
for the Republicans to be more particular in the
selection Of their candidates for Congress A

election, would not amount to anything"

A FUNNY MIsTAKE.-The Chicago
Tribune gives an amusing account of
the adventures of an amiable old gen
tleman from the rural districts, who
had been wavering between ortho-
doxy and heterodoxy for some time.
He came into the city to hear Robert
Collyer preach. 1t was his first Wis
it to Chicago. Stepping into North
Clark street horse car, he rode out as
far as Turner Hall, where many of
the passengers alighted, and he per-
ceived a crowd of people, and inquir-
ed of the conductor if that was Rob
ert Collyer's church. The conductor,
amused at the simplicity of the ques-
ton, promptly answered in the afr,
native, and our curious inquirer pass
ed into the hall. He saw a vast crowd
of men and women sitting at small ia.

staggered him for a moment, but be
reflected that they were possibly re

down at table and looked around
him. Presently a young man with q
white apron came up and asked if he

not exactly a member Of the society
but he came to hear Mr.. Collyer.-

We present. tEis morning the ticket
nominated by the Democratic City Con-
vention last evening. The candidates
are all well.known TO our citizens, and
there can be no question as to their fit
ness for their respective positions. The
Convention was fairly representative of
the will of the Democrats of the city, and
its action will, we doubt not, receive
their hearty approval, as well as the
sanction of the public generally.


We are not advised that the Republi-
cans will offer any organized opposition
to this ticket, and in any event its pros
poets of success cannot be regarded as
otherwise than extremely hatteriDg.
Indeed, it is so definitely settled that
the Democrats will continue to control
the elections heresbouts that there is
little encouragement for our opponents
to submit the matter to a practical test.
In addition to commencing this ticket
to the favorable consideration of the
voters of the city, we do not deem it
necessary this morning to offer any ex-
tended remarks. The interests of the
city will be perfectly safe in the hands
eff these nominees, aud further than
this, there is not, in the present quiet
state of politics, any disposition to en-
Nnire.

We were horrifed to learn the other
day, that Mr.. John ArTnagast, of Buff
falo Run, an aged and highly respected
citizen, was nearly devoured by hogs In
his own barn-yard. Mr.. Armagast has
long been in feeble health, and for some
time past he has been subject to fits Of
epilepsy, often falling down when alone
in an entirely unconscious state. Hewas
suddenly taken with this weakness one
day last week when in his barnyard,
and in his helpless condition was set
upon by number of hogs, which tore
and mangled him horribly. Fortunate
ly his son came TO his assistance in time
to save him from immediate death, but
the old gentleman is now lying in a very
precarious condition. The son states
that the hogs seemed almost wild, and
that it was with the greatest difficulty
he succeeded in driving them away aud
releasing his father from his terrible

AUBURN TOWNSHIP AND SCHOOL FUNp.-When
a few of the leading citizens of Auburn took
steps to secure Government title to the lots
claimed in the town, the move was not SO gener-

but finally the thing was made to go, and now
every property owner in town, with very few
exceptions where there are disputed boundary


lines, has his United States title to his premises.
We hazard but little when we say that every
property owner in Auburn feels more than COM
pensated for his outlay in being the possessor in
fee Of the property he only formerly held as a
squatter But while this is the case we have
secured, through the purchase of the town-site,
some $500 to our public District School Fund,
which, though small, is a matter of importance
to parents and children Of the town. The law
under which the townsite was purchased, provi-
ded that any surplus of money remaining in the
Judges hands after all expenses was paid

trict, and we learn that about the above sum
