which are exhibited on these occasions,
without comparing them with what was
commonly seen a quarter of a century ago.

all fat, steam ploughs, cultivators, drills,
washing machines ; all these iMpmve
meats in stock and useful implements are
.found only where these yearly gatherings

THE Troy Gazette says that severallso
lated cases of diphtheria have occurred in
that and neighboring townships, giving
rise to wide spread and alarm. Some of
"these cases are undoubtedly sporadic in
their character, originating from local
causes, Which should be at once attended
to. Two deaths from it have occurred in
one township, and another in -the 'bor
ough, and we bear of other persons than
those, first taken, who have bad it. An
other of 31r. PRESTON'S family is quite ill
with the disease, as also other members
of the family of Mrs. WiNol NELSON
MAYNARD'S family have been sick with
the same disease. It is to be hoped that
parents will look to the state of drains
about the premises, to the purity of the
drinking water. ;to the ventilation of
rooms, to seeing that the members of the
household, and' especially that children
are warmly clothed and shod.
GORED BY A BULL.—On Saturday,
August 23d; LEVI MCCABE, son of Huon
MeCABE; of North Rome, was quite
severely injured by a bull belonging to
his uncle RICHARD McCaw?, of the same
place. LEVI, together with his brothers
Duni and HARRISON, were assisting their
uncle RICHARD to drive the bull into a
barn, when the animal suddenly turned
and attacked them. In less time than we
take to write it, the auimal had thrown
OLON, RICHARD and HAAItISOR, to the
ground. LE'I, seizing a club, went to
the assist the others, when the enraged
animal turned upon him, and with its,
horns tossed, him several feet in the air,
indicting upon him several severe and j
dangerous wound& Ono cut in the young .
man's left breast being several inches in
length, and penetrating nearly to the
heart. As soon as possible after the young
man was injured, Dr. Ric; of Rome,
was called, .and dressed his wounds, and
he is now irkte fair way of recovery. The
bull will not be liable to injure any one
in the fuiure, as Mr. MCCAHE had him
shot on the Monday .following the above
occurrence. He was a fine blooded animal,
about two and a half years old, and
had never before exhibited any symptoms
of a bad disposition.
THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST.—The an
nouncement that a new edition of Web
ster's Unabridged Dictionari - has just I
been published; containing many new
and •valuable features, suggests the /
thought that tiling a Dictionary is a
good deal like buying an egg or a watch ;
a bad one is not cheap at any price. Web
ster being the - standard authority for the
English language, lie naturally has many
imitators, but imitators are usually held
at their true worth by the public ;--.-who
wants a wooden nutmeg, though it may
look ever so much like the genuine arti

upon this principle.
If you want a bandy thing to carry

persona wen) present. The hounfof the
forenoon were taken up with guard
mounting, aldrmhdt, and company idrill,
eta. Shortly after ; 1; 1.. x. Conansider
WILT called the -large aiummblagewho
gathered around the speaker's ktand
to order, and in few appropriate re=
marks introduced Maj. den. Janson Km-
PATRICK, who for over an hour, held the
closest attention of , the huge audience.
The subject of the General's address was
"Ditto Seenes of the Rebellion," and for
vividness of word-painting, eloquence and
patriotism, was the finest speech we over
had the pleasure of listening' to. Ills
leseription of the battle of Gettysburg
mould not be excelled in graphic force,
Whilst his closing tribute to the men.who
died that tbe Republic might live, was de-
livered with thrilling effect.' At the con
clusion-of th e General's remarks, a sham
battle took 'place.
.The "fight' consisted
of an attack by the union foroes, , under
command of Comrade M. E. Women,
upon a "rebel" fortification, held by a
force under the command of Comrade C.
E. ANDRUS. The attacklig force was re
pulsed with "great . slaughter." The
artillery of the Port was under the im
mediate charge of Capt. - 8. W. Non.-
THRUP, and was most admirably handled.
In the evening the large dancing pavill-
ion on the ground was filled to overflow
log by an extremely interested and orderly
assemblake, who listened to short address
es by qellB. MADILL and KftpArutcx ; a
number of vocal' selections,. beautifully
rendered by Mrs.' 0. A. BA,LDWIN,' Mrs.
B. W. LANE and Capt. G. W. KILMER,
and recitations consisting of "Sheridan's
Ride " and the "Charge of the Light. Bri
gade," by Miss Puma. COLE.
Thursday forenoon was' taken up
trying offenders by court-martial, comps
ny and squad drill, and a competitive
drill by the Posts in camp for a handsome
silk flag, to be given to the Post showing.)
the most proficiency in this respect. The
flag was awarded to Stevens Post, Rome.
Shortly after 1 P. M. the large crowd
gathered about the speakers' stand, when
after music by the band and a recitation
entitled, "King Harry at NaLarre," by
Miss PREDIE CoLE, Commandi WILT
introduced 11 W. Mcbttaxxv, of Wilkes-
Barre, who foil nearly twolhours kept the
large assemblage'in the best of humor, as
he related in an inimitable manner many
ludicrotis scenes and incidents Connected
with the late " unpleasantness."
At 3 o'clock, p. sr., the several oppos,l
ing forces were 'marshalled for the sham
battle. The commanders were the sanie
as on the previous day. After t*o inef
fectual attempts on the part of t'ie
"Union" forces to dislodge the "Rebels"
from their fortifications, they fell back in
good order; and after a •brief rest again
advanced for the final onslaught, and
amidst cheers and the stirring music of,
the band, succeeded in driving the "John
nies" from their guns and capturing the
works. As on the previous day, the rebel
artillery was 'under the charge of Capt.
S. W. NouTunue,w,ith BROOKs,KNIFFIN,
WEYMAN, Hu ra.ntarr, Jo sox and
BENELY as gunners, and the rapid and
skillful tiring of the piece was one of the
most marked features of the "engage
ment."
After the battle came "dress parade,'
when the camp was .broken up, and the
soldiers and spcetators wended their way
homeward, all. pronouncing the whole af
fair a grand success in every particular,
and according tlo Commander WILT and
his . able assistants, no small amount• of
praise for the successful arrangement and
carrying out of the well-arranged pro
gramme of exercises.

ATHENS ITiMS.
• ATURN'. September let.
The principal event of the past week
has' been the Sullivan Centennial. Our
people naturally took considerable inter
est in it, as it was the point where the,
army rendezvoused before and after the
battle at Chemun h ., I. propose giving a
few notes and observations regarding the
event.
In point of numbers and the, amount of
money spent by visitors it was a success,
but as a display of executive ability and
management as a whole a complete fail
ure. Individuals and organizations indi
vidually did well; but collectively made a.
slim showing, for the reason that they
were not collected, appearing very .much
as though left each to their own ways.
Who is responsible •we do not know., but
a stranger might readily see the lack of
proper arrangements for such an occasion.
If there was a President ,- of the day he
was not at his post very often. Not a bul
letin board anywhere to be seen for the
guidance of the masses. Not any appear
ance' of an organized police force, and
only vile compounds td be had for thirst
within a half mile of the spot selected to
deceive for future generations. Elmira
temperance men might have saved many
from-temptation by providing water near
the place selected to exhibit a selfish spi
rit, irbere neithei Indian nor white man
eveethought of lighting.
If we are in error we beg pardon, but
the impression received was that a little
pride decided the lopation of the monu
ment in sight of Elmira, even if it were
taken out-of sight of the real battle-fleld,
and that the comfort of those that came
from long distances :had not been takeii
into account in many ways. • Of the
speeches we think they might
: easily have
been cut short, as but little was said ex
cept tb magnify history respecting this
• v•
particular spot.
• We imagine General liittimmax, Gener
al, 1
al &Deux, and others felt cheap in trying
to speak to
,14 gathering, not one-half of
whom knew at what hour or, at . what
place to look for them. But enough of
this, we saw theth and thamonuttient and
,did . not suffer, but heard much complaint
from the crowd.,. Those companies of mi
litia and independent organizations upon
the did well and are entitled to
much credit The Franklin °earths, of
this plaCe, with their continental nth:.
forms were quite an attraction, and every
one of them did their duty well; At times
it was not in easy task, having to push
back at the point of the. bayonet the
crowd, especially while\ Governor .11o4T
and staff were dining with them, but the
I crowd kept good-natured, and tbe boys
were firm and soldierly. - . •

honer the company we re given the name):

MUMS, in whose family the relic, belongs,
Their maples& a home to our people and
we acknowledge favors from the boys.
They speak well of the boys from Bing
hamton and other places,' who were en
camped about the grounds. Governor
HORT and' staff were received
.gracefully;
and. sorted as Well as the nature of the
ease would permit, the table being in the'l
shade but necessarily on the side of the
hill. Some of our ladies assisted at the,
table and relieved the boys ,of that'
kart
of camp life known as preparing rations.
The Magenta orders were represented
by large numbers of members, and in due
form they dedicated the monument to the
perpetuation of the memory of those who
enacted the scene one hundred years ago.
Prominent in this work was E. Haulms - ,
Jr., of this place, who came up from Har
risburg for a few. days recreation ; and
assist. From our point of observation we 1
ace nothing of great importance, Accom
plished, and think the money exper.ded
would have been of far more use to the
race had it been devoted to the improve
meat of some park, the founding of some
library or other public benefit. We think
the Centennial business overdone, and the
practice of using dead men's names to col
lect crowds for the purpose of pecuniary
gain a disreputable one. Large numbers
of people went in carriages from this
cinjty and the trains were loaded.... Mr.
