By .he pretr'am list, as furnished in the *e pcrter supplement in a Ist* issue, .t *vi. be seen that the inducements offered to exhibitors in the shape of premiums are tempting—although our people should vie with each other in making our fa r a success even if no premiums were offer ed. A paper of an adjoining county re ivrs to our premium list with marks of approval, and as a mttern for other so cieties to copy after —there is a .ibera.i ty displayed and a largenesa of invita tion to exhibitors which few agrku'm ral societies of other counties can Cv m rvs with. The President, Adam Hoy, e*q., aud the efficient Secretary. Mr. Clement Dale, with the other officers, are doiug their utmost to make the nex fair more attractive and rocces.-ful th.i.i any heretofore held, and their work promises to insure this end. Gov. Curlin's nomination for congress by the democrats, knocks the talk clean out of thorn republicans, who, in the face of a constitutional prohibition, Llabber about the democrats favoring payment of the rebel debt. With Cur* tin for our congressman, the absurdity of the thing s all the more patent. If our party desired paying the rebel debt it would not propose having men .ike the great war governor in congress. It is not within the power of congress to enact that the rebel debt shall be paid —the constitution of the I nited States forbids it, and the constitution of every southern state prohibits thejaymeot of any rebel debt. The democracy of this county learn one wholesome lesson from the recent primary elections in this county —one that we have often pointed out in the Reporter —that where the people turn out to the primaries, good men will be sent as delegates and a good ticket will be nominated. The primary elections on 14 were the largest ever held in this county as large a vote was polled as we have on an important election day. And as a re sult we found the convention on the following Tuesday composed of the best material of the party. This fact was re marked by all. The convention, too, in its deliberations was one of the most orderly and best conducted ever held, and the ticket placed in nomination composed of good men all through. I.et democrats in future not forget this fact, and always take a band in the delegate elections, and there will be no cauce for complaint on account of hgd nominations. At the primaries is where the real work is done. If the rads can't cry court-house ring against Swab and Dunkle, the democratic can l-dates for commissioners, they will get up something else to employ their idle moments, if there are two honest and upright men in the county, Alesars. Bwab and Dunkle are the oues. The democratic county ticket is re ceived with satisfaction throughout the county. When we consider the number of disappointed candidates, there is really less grumbling than we were r.c enstomed to before this. The ticket will bo overwhelmingly elected—every man upon it in beyond reproach, md the nominations were fairly made. Democrats should organize Dill clubs in every township and work from now un til election day to drive the Cameron ring from power—eTery tax-payer is in terested in this. Washington now has a second edition of Kearney, in the person of Cohen, who is trying to incite the laboring men to a disturbance. A few mornings ago he collected around him the idle men of the city, and made a speech to :be effect that they would march around the city visiting every place where la borers are employed; that no overt act will be committed unless resistance :s offered; that all men working for leas than $1.50 per day must be persuaded to stop work, and if they refused force must be used. The police authorities have a large force on doty, and it is thought arrangements are ample to quiet any disorder in the beginning. Gov. Curtin is out busy speaking at democratic meetings. He spoke at Renova tbe other evening. He makes the ring tremble by bis hot shot, ami there is no man hated so much by the Cameron ringsters, at this time, as ( ur tin. The better portion of republicans will take Andy's advice and vote the democratic ticket, as the best means to bring about reform. The Cameroon i can't squelch our Andy. The greatest disappointment the Cameron ring has lately met with is their failure to defeat Curtin's nomina tion for congress. Centre county demo crats do not propose let Cameron dictate who shall be their nominees. The man that Cameron does not want is more likely to suit democrats, than the man Simon does want. The democratic judicial conferees of this district—Centre, Clinton and Clear field—met at Bellefonte on Tuesday af ternoon, and unanimously nominated Charles A. Mayer for re-election as president judge. The congressional conferees met ou "Wednesday, about the time we went to press, hence can not give the result in this issue. Tt jr.t ttufy TiiryK. The nomination of Gov. Curtin for congress ia hailed with delight by the , democratic press of the state. That j staunch old democratic organ of western Venn's, the Pittsburg Vost, says. l-.x-Govcrnor Cut tin's nomination as the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Oentre-t'leai held district may In: accepted ns u fixed fact. Mia friends carried Ventre county, and us the nomi nation was conceded to that county it makes Governor Curtin's selection sure. He will be elected by an overwhelming majority, and will take high rank in the House. Randall, Olyurer and t'urtin in the next House|will be of greater im portance to Pennsylvania interests than all the Republicans that will go to the House froui this State. The Clinton Democrat also thinks the nomination of Curtin for congress is the best thing that can le done, 80 we all SHV. It if<> IS t.Ni'h'M' 11. DILI It ia not necessary that we should teli the jeople of Veunsvalley who A. M. Pill is—he is so well known in Centre county alrcndr. Cur people iin\c known him for many years, he has mingled with them, addressed them, and done business for them. Ho was their choice for governor, because ihcv knew him to be a man fit for the position and thor ooghly honest. For the oenctit of our readers outside of this county, we copy a short article about Mr. Pill from an exchange, which in answering the in quiry, "Who is Andrew 11. Pill," *a>s: Bnch is the innocent inquiry made by a very "loyal" editor, who is answered by a contemporary tn this way : "Not having the good fortune to inherit dol lars and property from a most worthy father, nosed in poverty and having to look to his own efforts for success, An drew 11. l>illis by inheritance, instinct and education the friend of those who like himself have to buffet the world for a livelihood and earn their daisy bread by hr.rd work. Though his district al ways contained a considerable Republi can majority, the people thereof always elected him whenever opportunity offer ed. They watched his coarse, they studied his record, they keenly scanned his whole conduct; his political oppo nents cbogrinnedby repeated deteat in their stronghold, criticised his every act with the utmost desire to find fault and thus cripple or destroy him; yet such was the rectitude of hia conduct and his faithfulness to their interests, that those hardy sons of toil (though politically op posed) four times elected Andrew 11. Dill to the legislature from Republican districts. There lie was ever the frieuu and champion of popular rights and the best interests of the people, the rank and file, the farmers, mechanics and laboring men w ho elected him. Our limits do not permit us to refer to his votes in detail, but if they had not been of the unexceptional character and most thoroughly in the interest ol the working people, Republican conn* ties and districts would not have re* peatedlv elected him to represent them. That is the most positive proof of the purity and fidelity of his official life, the propriety of his votes, and the patriot ism of his purposes. i*uch endorse ments, under such circumstances, are at once convincing and overwhelming evi dence of great competency and unques* tionable integrity. From the time he passed the threshold to the maturity of middle age, Andrew H. Dill has been prominent in the public view of hiscon stituents, and it is therefore a proud thing to say that no blemish rests upon his character, public or private. Always acting in public, and for the public, neither his neighbors or others could be mistaken in his character, and those neigt bor* at all times and under all cir cumstances endorsed him. Such is An drew 11. Dill. e Cameron's organ, the Harrisburg t Telegraph, tried hard to defeat A. G. - Cnrtin's nomination for Congress by the n Centre Co. democrats. That Cameron it wanted Curtin defeated and did all he I, could to defeat him, is alt an additional n reason why democrats may feel that they did right in supporting Gov. Cur s tin, who has been acting with our |>arty e for over six years, and who has declared 0 himself in favor of the platform on 1 which Andrew 11. Dill stands. Came e ron's dirty Telegraph, nor his money, could not prevent Centre county from favoring Curtin and despising the vile republican ring master *iw undertook L to say who should be nominated by J Centre county democrats for congrcs. r Our people know Andrew (i. Curtin ! and they know Simon Cameron as well, hence have not heeded the impudent interference of the Winnebago in our „ own affairs. It would be a pretty state e of affairs for democratic voters in this r county to find themselves doing the H wish and bidding of Simon Cameron! j. The democracy of Centre county can t not and will not be governed by any ad y vice coming from Cameron as to who is the proper person for us democrats to , support for congress. That we are ob- Q stinately opposed to Cameron and will „ resent his impudent dictation wasplain n ly evidenced last week. Let iiimon . smoke that in his pipe. Centre county democrats do not court the praise of his organ, the vile Tele -0 graph, it may fret and foam,and we will 0 elect Curtin in spite of it and Simon. & 'lit ♦ e la last week's Reporter we gave the j official figures showing the saving effect t. Ed by a democratic house at Washing ] ton, amounting to a reduction of expen- sesin three years of over sB3;QOo,Q(k> certainly a very large item.

( The pertinent inquiry will hereafter be / answered. ~ The ticket placed in nomination last week by the democracy of this county, is admitted by all to be a good one, and that it was nominated with the utmost foirneoß from top to bottom.

We have a ticket, which, for nun of purity of character compares favora bly with any ever heretofore nominated in tins county. The Marrisburg Telegraph, Williams- A bulletin, and other Cameron organs in the state, are howling like hyenas at t'urtin's nomination . Well let em how I—it is some satisfaction for the democrats of this district that they have done something to make the tribe of Winnebagoes mad. P. F. FORTSRY. lu the brief time remaining us last week to make a hurried report of the proceedings of the lVmocratic Co. C on vention, we had to omit mention of the gentleman, whose name heads this arti cle elected unanimously as the next Chairman. The position has been well, bestowed by the Convention. Mr. l'ortuey is one of the most earnest and active democrats in this county, and one of our most popular speakers. There is not a school house in the county which has not heard his voice iu favor of democracy, within the last teu year.-. Mr. Fortney wi.l make an efficient Chairman, as he pos: eases the executive ability so necessary for the place, and the repr? entatives of the party did an important r.ct well when thev chose Mr. Fortnev. CURTIK'S SPEECH. The following is Gov. Cortin's speech at the democratic convention at Belle fonte, as taken by the reporter of the Williamsport Bulletin, it has the right ring in it. and will be read with pleasure hv cverv democrat: I have but five minutes —not as long as 1 generally talk, lly fellow-cititens, I made up my mind when in a foreign country, holding a commission of uiv government, that the policy adopted by the national administration must lead to the troubles and difficulties which have occurred in the past of the country. I came home in 1572, and announced my sentiments as early as 1 could get into the State. In the meantime the Demo* cralic party of Pennsylvania had taken my friend Governor Bigler from the ticket and placed my name upon it, and I was elected to the"Constitutional Con vention. Since 1572 I have labored anstdiously to produce reforms In the government at Washington and in this State. I be lieved that the time would come when the public sentiment would turn to the condition of things there and here, and that we would have such reforms as would conduce to the proai>crity of the country and to the glory and power of the nation. Twice I have canvassed Ohio once Indiana, and t have been in Pennsylvania and New Vork. I have examiued the platform upon which Mr. Dill stands, and it meets with my entire approKtitinn, anil I shall give him my vote and my support (Ap plause), 1 cannot understand why, if uiy old friends of Republican anteced ents desire reform, they should attempt to secure it by an organization which cannot succeed. If they „"ant reform, let them Joilou m- and change the entire administration. If those placed in power fail, Jet them be returned to the people. Fellow-citiiens, | never had the confi dence—thank (iod —1 never had the support of the "ring" in i'ennsyivania. They opposed me while I was laboring for the country during the war; they never voted for me; I never had the dis grace of their fellowship or friendship. (Applause.) For the gentlemen placed in nomination by the people against me I have the kindliest feelings. 1 tiave no triumph in this success. It is a triumph of yourselves to place nieon the stump and enlist in the field which may lead to reform! I, lam at war *iih If./ tarn*ran nny, with the men who pilfered your public treas ury, who now raise the bloody-shirtonce r more in the face of this great people e and ask that the war which shonld be s forgotten and forever shall be fought e over They were valiant in the , quartermastercommissary depart • ments;thev sold hay, oaif, horses dsd n mules— andd poor muht at ttua. 1 [. will give my faithful efforts to turn the thieves from the public treasury and to restore this great government once more ° to purity. 1 donotlnow what the re i- suit may ho in the district. You have II placed me before iho conferees of six counties, and if it is their plgßsure to I nominate me 1 will try to discharge iba II duties of my high and important trust in such a manner as to meet the approba •t tion of my constituents. In all the offi cial positions in which / have been placed I always Jul desire thai in this 1 beautiful county, besides these green mountains, wtiere tiie AUeghenies roll ait theip magnificent crests—tbut these e people amongst whom I was born, , where I have lived, and where, by the blessing of (lod, I trust to die and lie buried —1 only a-k, and have always - asked, that I receive their approbation. - (Applause.!

The entire place was driven to a panic and left him alone. In vain were all efforts to procure a nurse, even negroes refus ing large offers of money. At last five men placed him in a box car, and hav ing b.uih a lire near hirn to keep him warm, left iih alone, The ear was twitched off the main tracjc Jialf a mile below Htevensnn and allowed fb feßJajpi the r ® with the rnun in it uncared for.

The fever varies in its intensi ty in different cases, as denoted by the temperature, the pulse and other symp toms a Fain in tho loins and limb* is usu ally a prominent symptom. The fever continues for a period ranging in different cases from a few hours to three days, when it either subside* notably or entirely ceases. In mild cases convalescents now ensues; and ia e certain proportion of cases the disease is mild. In grave cases the symptoms which especially denote gravity occur after this paroiysui of fe ver. Among these symptom* ts yellow nets ef the sain, This, however, does not occur in ell cases, being absent in very mild attacks. It denotes a certain meat ura of gravity, but is by no means a fetal omen A much graver symptom iatbe vomiting of blood, or as it is called, the black vomit. Case* rarely end favorably when this symptom occur*. Tha mode of death it generally by exhausl'oa. Ibe duration of the disease in fata! case* ranges iront three to nine days, the average being !ea than a week. How lha Epidemic Began There are cesvs of yellow fever in New { Orleans during almost every month in the year. The only thing that will destroy the germs of the disease betides disinfectants, is a temperature of Sl* k'aronfceit, below the fcoc;iiig-peint they cannot exist. Hut .his temperature is rarely reached in New {Orleans and the disease often continues with more er less violence during the whole year. About a month ago the poi .son seemed to increase all at once in po 'tency, and yellow fever patients increased in number rapidly. Ne epidemic was feared at first. But suddenly the disease appeared with unexampled violence at Grenada, a town of soma HAD inhabitants lin Mississippi, which had s mmgr epi leu.w. beat) a refuge to those who flod : from New Orleans. The sanitary condi ! lion of the place is said to have been very . bad, and within a week the town was al most depopulated , al! who were pot sick. and coind irgye, fled for their litres. In i joing this they did the best thing possible under the circumstances. Kurgeen-Gen era! Woodworth, of the United Stale* Marine Hospital Service, who has had great experience in matters of this kind, i says: , W hen yellow fever breaks out in a city t among the resident population, or aven al ter the yellow fever ha* a**umed such vir , ulence a* in Grenada, Vicksburg and Memphis, all of the resident* liable to the ' disease mould remove at toon a* noa*ibl* ( to temporary ramps upon the highest , sveilabi* ground at least two mile* away ,!rom the infected city. This plan was . adopted lo some extent at Memphis, but to , prevent the camp from becoming inlected, las at that place, there should be an inter mediate camp established, where lha flee ing people should be required to Urry long enough lo have their clothing and effects thoroughly disinfected Buch a rigidly applied to all refugees, r : whether destined for temporary camps or or non-infected cities, would increase their ,iokrn „IK>- ~f.d he a batter safeguard I agaiait the spread of the disease than land , quarantine. _ • * THE SOUTHERN I'LAGUK. 1; Decrease in Mortality *u iriyallod in ijtsrsry ipariL Loautilul artisti-' cally, and then (o furnish it at so low a 1 price that tha people could afford to take it.
