Agricultural Fairs The annual East Penn
sylvania Agricultural Fair held near Norrlstown,
and now just concluded. Is said not to have been a
very successful exhibition. The attendance was
smaller than that of any other year. The display of
cattle, produce, etc., was not large, though the
quality was good. The domestic department was
the most complete. This was in charge or a com
mlttee or ladies, who did everything to satisfaction
The cause of the inferiority was thought to be the
extremely dusty state of the roads, which hindered
persons from entering goods and diminished the at
tendance.
The annual exhibition of the Montgomery County
Agricultural Society commences to-day at Spring-
rown, near rtorruuown, on tne regular rairurounds.
Jt win continue open until Friday evening next.
This county exhibition. It is thought, will surpass
that of East Pennsylvania, In which several counties
were represented. A plowing match Is advertised.
and also a trial or washing machines. Several horses
will trot for premiums over the track of the Fair
Ground. A novelty is announced In the form of a

This morning St. John Doris was put on trial for

street, on the night of April 6 last, John Weaver
liavlDK been yesterday acquitted of this charge.
The evidence In this case la the same as that adduced

the prisoner being that he kicked the deceased in
the breast and thrust her out into the yard, where
she died.
A. A. Lechler, John J. Gilbert, John A. Owens

Court of Common Pleas Judge Ludlow.
An application was made to this Court to set
aside an election to change the preclnct-house of

ground of the application being that there were not
llftv voters of the precinct present at such election.
as required by law. Put the law simply says that
such a meet Ins of the voters may determine the ex
pediency of changing the preclnct-house, not that It
shall actually change It; and therefore Judge Ludlow
would not decide whether the election were legal or
otherwise, but would say that It did not change the
preclnct-house, and need not impede the Sheriff in
the preparation of his proclamation.

near Paris, in which the liavarians were en
gaged:
"Yesterday a sharp battle occurred between
Villeneuve and Montrauge. The French force
consisted of three divisions, commanded by
General v Inoy, and were supported by strong
redoubts. They were defeated nevertheless."
The New German Confederation.
London, Sept. 21. Tho professional politi
cians have matured their plans in regard to a
new German Confederation to be called the
Nord Deutschebund. Herr Delbrack, who is to
be the President of the Council, has been called
to headquarters, and the Bavarian, Baden, and
Wurtemberg Governments are busily conferring
on tne political luturc. nerr Lascar, tne na
tional liberal deputy, is going to stump the
North German State3.
It is proposed that Frankfort shall be de
clared at the same time a neutral city, and the
capital of the now cuu federation. Thus it will
noid towards the new confederation the same
position that Washington and the District of
Columbia do to the United States of America.
This is the first direct step towards what has
long been the dream of German patriots, not
merely a German Union but a German Union of
Allied Republics.

The EnxlUh Mission.
A letter received here from Judge Orth to-day
states that he has never been tendered the mis
sion to England, and that he has no desire to
leave the country. It is now said that the per
son fixed upon bv the President for the position
is Old Ben Wade. Mr. Wade is expected here
in a lew days.
The Cartace HtmIcih.
It is rumored here that tho discussion of the
late troubles regarding the cartage system and
the requirements respecting the discharge of
goods under the general order from the docks
of Europeau steamers in New York, has been
renewed there. It appears that Secretary Bout-
well diiiered lrom the belief ot the late Collec
tor Grinnell that the interests of the Govern
ment wouia be subserved in cnanging me sys
tem and inttead of discharging goods at the
docks transfer them to the West street ware
house.
Secretary Boutwell ordered Mr. Grinnell to
go back to the old system; but up to the time
he went ont of cilice he had not obeyed the
order. Air. Murpny, tils successor, is still In a
quandary. The order has not been obevei.
though the decision of the Secretary is still
opeiative. The question arising is whether
the patronage of the new cartage system and
the new warehouse is too great a boon for the
Collector to relinquish, and who will get the
benefit ol the business.
Limitation of Appropriation.
The decision of the Attorney-General In refe
rence to the limitation of appropriations, and
which has operated to stop payment of claims
as well as to prevent the erection of public
buildings in several large cities, is creating
great hardship in business circles, and no
remedy can be had until the meeting of Con
gress. Among other business Interests affected
are railroads, wuo cannot receive money on
requisitions for public transportation unless
they discount the same by banks or money
lenders. Money accommodations are, therefore,
neld at mgn rates.
