Tbe second annual exhibition of tbe Ven

be neld in Frnklin.on Tusday, Wednesday

The Association will make every effort pos
aililo to have this exhibition a complete sue
cess, but without tbe aid of all our cill.cns
especially those engaged In agricultural
pursuits, It will not be successful. The Ag
ricultural Interesis of Iho county have not
received tbe attention which its importance
demands during tbe past ten yesis, owing
to the fact that tbe oil business has absorbed
the attention of our people. Tbe object in
view In this exhibition Is to encourage the
producing classes of socluiy and by inspiriug
a generous rivalry amoug farmers, manu
facturers and artisans of all classes, lo Si-
cure the advancement of all. The exhibi
tion will be purely for the benefit of farmers
and Manufacturers, snd no borse racing
wilt be permitted on the gtound while ibe
exhibition Is in pi ogi ess. On the afternoon
ot tbe lust d iy , trials of speed will be
permitted.
We trust tbe farmers throughout the
county will take this matter in band and
give tbe Assocatioa all tbe encouragement
possible.

Some time last Say n man of mors than
usually prepossessing appearance visited
II. B. Claftin & fo.'s wholesale dry goods
store and proposed lo purchase some ;.oods,
To Mr. Guerlo, tbe chief ot tbe cieditdr.
parlment, be gave bis name as George H
Nash, of tbo Him o( Xasb ,t Co., Bay
Ridge, Long Island, and represented that
I a tbe event al bis becoming purchaser
bis frieod Howard Feuraull, a gentleman Of
untold wealth, owning a palatial residence
ut Richmond Hill, would be responsible lor
the goods. A few days afterwards another
man called, who represented himself as the
Peursill referred to, said bo owned .two lois
on Ninth worth 6,000 and $7,000 and an
other in Brooklyn worth $10,000, and that
he would cheerfully be responsible lur all
that his frieod Nasb might purchase. Not
many days later Mr, Nash reappeared, aud
on the strength ol Pearsall's representations
brdered laces, silks, and other dry goods, to
tbe value of $091.00, on 3) days credit
When that time was up, as Mr. Nash failed
to put in au appearauce, ell'olis were made
to diicover bis whereabouts, but a visit to
Bay Ridge failed to discover tbe dry goods

This Peartall is tbe same who csme to

JUSTICE.
Justice Is proveibinlly blind and I s
ministers commit unnumbered blundeis on
ber name." Tbejrich and opulent do what
they may and In Ibis country have nothing
to fear. Defaulters official ' delanlters for
millions go scott fieri. But a beggar tak
ing a loaf of bread Is sure or prison punish
ment. Yes, she is blind. One man goes to
Franklin with wristlnts while bis neighbors
equally guilty ot violation local opiioil are
noumolested. Eveu tbe loremao ot a Graud
Jury, doing business in the midst ol local
nntion. Is so hannilv iunorant uf it, th.it a
true bill Is ignored under his hand.
Again, somo boys hereof In lun and frolic,
rub hea roosts, pick up old hiruess and gal
lop the roads at uiht on stray horses lo see
their gitla maybe. A siuiplo coiumittne n'
for ono or two would have been well euough.
But no, they are bunted down like Greek
brigands. Cherrytree township Is lik'J'y to
lose half her boys. Whether guilty or 1l-
nocent matters not.
And why? To serve the ends of justice?
We tear not. Greed and spite. Official
aaiii.au'l i fli jioiM zuul rather.
Thu ol i"Ct of law is to preserve order, of
minishraent to reform. Tboe boys who
h iva done wrong could be fined to repiy
damages sust lined by owners, anil repri
manded by Justice be.self. Tbey would
go home better and wiser, and make good
men as their lathers before ibem, properly
impressed with Ibe evil they have done,
and ol the mnjesty ot the law sufficiently
vindicated.
But thrust them into jail and into prison
with bad men and women, old stigers in
crime for a term of months or years, and
Ibey will likely ooma out hardened.
Let us then, us citizens, stand by those
who use an honest effort to have restitution
made ard the boys reprimanded and tbe
county saved a thousand (tollers cost.
Let us have mercy, aud see tbut justice
tails like tbe tains on all alike.
Justice to Au.
Yesterday witnessed furtherduvelopment
in the Cherrytree laiceny casts, whict
have excited so much interest of late. Two
bovs named McCltuiock were nrtesled ou
warrants issued by JtisttC:' Reynolds, char'
cd with receiving a pnnion ol the t.tu!en
property. The youngest ol lite two ws set
free to enable bim lo give evidence ajuinsl
the other. The other defendant waived a
bearing and entered bail lu the sum of $5U0
lor au appearance at court, bis fitter giv
ing the required bond.
Samuel Royd, another of the defendant,
who it will be remembered was 'oo ill to be
toinoved at the time of the arrest of Sutley
and Euierick, was also brought down, yes
leiday. Ho also waived au examination
and entered bail In the sum of $700 to ap
pear at tbe November term of court lo ao
swer. '
This forenoon, a farmer residing somo
distance beyond Titusville, arrived In town

It Is estimated over Bf een hundred chick

at Tifnsvllle and other poln-s.

vislud Ihe Otiniy i and after
thnrousTh eximination of the building, lis
rooim, cits snd fixtures, would recor
mend that the wash room therein be er
ringed and new pipes Introduced; that all
the pipes in the building need more or less
repairing, as the same ate leaking badly io
many places; that a oew pipe is needed for
the privy, of at least two inches io diame
ter; that the engine and boiler used for mak
ing steam to beat the jail, should be remov
cd from is presont -position to a build It g
to be erected lor that purpose in the rear ot
the Jail building, as Its ptessot location Is
dtngerous to the saie'y of the jail nod It" It
mates; that the jail building is gteatly lo
need of being painted, wbich should be
done forthwith ; and also that wooden shut

may appear creditable to the good tastu and
