IRE LATE FAlß — Last, wei-k we bad
time nor -pa e to speak of the eighth annual ex
-1 the Bradford County Agricultural Society,
•as held at this [dace, on the 2d, 3d and 4tli, of
; it month. The award of premiums, which we
ivsi week, is sufficient evidence of the suc
'-lie exhibition.
''"ie, and also on the morning of the first
tiui people with loaded teams oi farm
implements, and all sorts of contrivances lor
' "'-'hanical u-es. were seen wending their way,

fy.
Exhibition we cannot speak too highly. The
' irticles was large and exceedingly tasteful.—
( w as limited we did not get round to visit J ill
n departments. The display of livestock—
■ ""* *• swine and aheep, we are iuturmed lar cx
-'Ape'.ta'.ions of the rnwl Fanguiat. A uuar
and more extensive display of poultry never graced a fair
in this County. From a mammoth turkey down to aban
tem eh icken, with all intermediate varieties, were fully
represented.
The display of fruit was excellent—far better than could
have been expected, as it is evident that the season h as
been very unfavorable.
The ladies' department of fancy articles, &c., Was well
represented and most tastefully arranged. It would be
difficult torus to name a tithe of the beautiful articles
here submitted for inspection. Articles of ornament and
utility, Irom a heavy bed quilt to a woolen stocking of
the tinest texture, blended with the adornment of the
I needle, in the shape of tidies, worked capes, collars and
baby-dresses, in rich profusion, met us at every turn—
i while cakes, jellies, snow-white bread .domestic wines,Jcc.,
I did ample credid to the good taste and industry of Brad
ford's fair daughters.
Take it all in all, the last exhibition of our Agricultur
al Society may be regarded as affording gratifying evi
dence uf progress in all that pertains to the material wel
fare or iudustral prosperity of our county. It was well
attended by both exhibitors and visitors.
The various rumors which have been put
afloat from time to time concerning the deaths of some ol
the rebel leaders in the South all produced the effect, i o
doubt intended, of keeping alive the excitement, but in
I our opinion that description of sensation reports ought
now to be d apensed with. They are about ' played out."
First we had the announcement of the death of BKAURE
OAKU, who was killed by one of the biggunsot Fort Sum
ter. with full descriptions of his funeral, which was at
tended in Charleston by a number of " reliable" ladies
and gentlemen, who subsequently made their escape from
Secessia under great difficulties. Then JEKK Davis died
at ificlunoiid, and all the rebel llags from the Potomie to
Manassas Junction were seen at half mast, and even
crape was observed on the arms of some of the rebel mil
itary officers in the Southern army. The body ol the Pres
ident ol tlie bogus confederacy was hardly allowed to get
cold belurc SI KULINU PRICE and BEN. MCCCLLOI CH were
killed by the telegraph at the battle of Davis' Creek, in
Missouri. JOHN C. BKECKINKIPOE, of coarse, having liv
ed too long, was next shufiied off the stage of existent e,
ond sent " to that bourne from whence no traveller re
turns." All these worthies having, in the course of time,
turned up alive and kickiug, it seems that„the old reports
are now to be revived,in the hope,we suppose, of creating
lie.v sensations. BEN. MCCOI.I,OLCH has been killed again,
and his sou has, according to that report, stepped
father's shoes. Unfortunately lor this last rumor, its free
currency has been checked by the general knowledge that
young BEN. is a myth, not having any real existence, and
therefore, if a portion of the rebel forces are still uudci j
the command ola man bearing thai name, he is no other ,
than old PEN. himself.
