TRIAL 01 SPEED AT TOE YORK
COUNTY FAtn. —The trial of speed at the
York County Fair on Thursday was the
grand feature of the exhibition, and was
Witnessed by many thousand spectators,
in feat, the enclosure was a dense pack of
Ladies, Gentlemen and the necessary ap
pendages of the human family, children;
the display of horses was very fine and
the competition one of rare anxiety and
most closely oontested as the following ta
ble of time will show, the horses contend
ing for the premium for speed:
The first in the ring was the Johnson
horse anckthe others:allowing in order ;.

Horse, 3.143! 4 . • ' '
These were the principal horses contending for
the premium for speed and gained by Grey Bob of
,j‘thitiiii County: • ' "
WAtzarAtts ADlEul—The days of
that monstrous and hideous invontion,the
waterfall; tire numbered, 'and a writer on
fashions thus records its downfall:
" The ladies .who establish the fashions
have discovered' that the presbnt style of
erownless.hats are objectioneble,inasmuch
as they-subject the wearers to cold from
sudden changes of temperature. Conse
quently hats with crowns have been chosen
The present style of hats was invented in
order to accommodate the huge waterfall
with which ladies.were wont to adorn (?)
their heads. As waterfalls aro fast going,
out of fashion some change in the fashion
ing abuts became imperative, and so the
abandonment of one led to the sacrifice of
the other.
We think that few will regret the ab
sence 9f the, waterfall. They must have
been a sotlree of great annoyance to the
laales'when they first came in fashion,
"especially to ' those Who were obli to
dress their Lairwithout assistance. There
ryas constant danger of their being "skew
ered," or awry, or becoming disarranged
theatreet from the slightest cause. They
were so light That their wearers were a
constant state of alarm lest they might,
Perchance, become detached, and the loss
not be discovered until too late, unless
some obliging young man gallantly vol
unteered to apprise the lady of her sect
dent.aqd then to meet with such a disaster
en the street would be terrible. ..

READING FAIR.—Op Thursday last
we attended the forks Co., Fair at Reading
and were favorably impressed with the
scone. The disrlay 'in every department
was excellent, and, onr , c _neig,,4lors have
great reason to be proud of their splendid
success. The crowd in attendance was i in
monse,so mm h so,that all were completely
"Jammed.' The light-fingered gentry
were around but they did not light on us,
as we suppose they knew it would have
been a fruitless sear' IL
In the afternoon a trotting match for
purse of $l5O came off. Three horses were
entered, but after the first heat one was
withdrawn leaving the contest to ho deci
ded by a Grey from Pottsville and. a Bay
from Now York. The Ist snd 2nd heats
were won by the New York horse, but the
laurels were carried off by the Pottsville
Grey. Best time made, 2.46!.
The pair closed on Friday evening and
we are informed that everything exceeded
the most sanguine expectations of all con
'
Our trip to Reading was a very pleasant
one, and our thanks are due to Messrs.
Misbler, , 0. H. Brady and " Bucktair
Rauch for favors. By the way, Record,
you have an Israelite who holds forth at
No. 612 Penn Street, who may not be con
sidered among the honorable dealers, and
we would not accuse him of carrying off a
hot stove, provided he could not procure a
wheelharrow. We had some dealings with
him, and he "sells us sheep." He needs
a cane.
POLICE CASES, before Samuel Evans,
Esq., during the week ; .
Dangerous Fellow--Jeremiah Young
madicomplaint several days ago, charg
ing "laughing Isaac 'lnsley" with making
divers threats to do deponent injury, both
in body and estate. Ten days ago " Old
Ironsldes" with a posse comitatus made an
effort to'captare the defendant by moving
upon his works and take him by assault.
But the wary Isaac was both
captors,
strong
and active. for his would. - be captors, he
made them " vamoose the - ranche" and
forthwith barricaded his doors and win
dows, which defied all'etlort to force them,
henpe it becatrie. necessary to:- change the
tactics for his capture. ,After ;various at
tempts to decoy him from his "fort," Mc-
Ginnis finelly succeeded in capturing him,
at the door of his house, whilst Oscar Kid
ders was entertaining him with stories
abotit "Dixie."
Isaac was very soon secured from doing
harm to any one. Ile showered impreca
cations upon the heads of all those he im
agined to be instrumental in his cr.pixote.
The detendaht Made various pigns,and ut
tered unintelligible gibberish which the
bystanders suggested were masonic signs
and pass words. McGinnis thought it was
Indian lingo at first, but when he heard
Issue give the war-whoop,he said you "no
fool me" and forthwith conveyed him to
prison. Isaac is a dangerous fellow, and
ought for the future to be placed where ho
will do injury to no one. -- •
The "Doctor" of "corn" ppd "banyan"

weeks. She can now we hope return to her
domicil, and pursue the even tenor of her

Borough, at the corner of Locust and 3rd,
streets, including that on which the old
Engine house now stands, will be requir
ed for the new market house which it
is in contemplation to build, some time
soon, and as the Engine house is much
out of repair and unfit for use, the town
council has made a lease to the Columbia
Fire Engine and Hose Company, of part
of the lot of ground known as the Mark
ley lot, in Locust street, near third street,
for a term of years ; on which the Fire
Company is to build a new Fire Engine
and Hose house, fronting on Locust street
22 feet and extending in depth 90 feet, and
two stories high. The funds on hand - not

The most interesting and exciting book

son's unparalleled experience for four
years ; traveling through . the South in
secret service of the "Tribune" at the out
break of tne war, with our armies and
fleets, both East and West.. during the
first two years of the Rebellion; his thrill
ing capture ; his confinement for twenty
months in seven different rebel prisons ;
his escape and almost miraculous journey
by night of nearly 400 miles. It will
abound in stirring events,. and contain
more of the fact, incident and romance of
the war than any other work published.
Horace Oreely says ;
"A great many books will yet be writ
ten concerning this War, in addition to
the many already in print ;
m compass but not one of
them will give siilar
a clearer, fuller ithi
, more readable account,
