A terrible tragedy occurred in Philadel

..TEE PANIC.
The general appearance of financial af
fairs is not quite as blue as it was a week
since. It is to be hoped that a general
'break up' is averted for the present, though
there are some who insist upon it that we
have reached the 'settling day' that comes
to the mercantile community once in eight
to eleven years. They hold there is a vast
amount of indebtedness which muBt be
wiped out by bankruptcy before business
can be resumed with any steadiness. There
is a theory which accounts for the regular
recurrences of mercantile crisis by alleging
that the average profit of business is from
two to three per cent., while the average
price paid for money is from seven to ten.
Of course, ruin is enevitable when business
is conducted in this way, and a panio by
which indebtedness is suddenly wiped out
becomes necessary before business can be
resumed. Whether this theory be true or
not, it is plain we have reached the day
when the entire mercantile community
must move with great caution, or a general
break up will soon visit this nation.
A Warning to Pensioners.
The Commissioner of Pensions announces,
that be is In the receipt of information
showing that examining surgeons in vari
ous places have been guilty of Sssning cir
culars to pensioners requesting them to
appear before them for the biennial exam-
lnation. These circulars are couched in
language which tends to mislead pension
ers, impressing them with the idea that
they must appear before that particular
surgeon or board of examining surgeons,
and no other, for examination. Invalid
pensioners may apply in all' cases to the
most convenient examining surgeon, who
will be the one nearest or most accessible
to thoir homes, regardless of any circular,
Circulars of this kind ate issued wholly
without authority, and are regarded by the
Commissioner of Pensions as in overy
respect unprofessional and unwarrantable,
A Female Horse Thief Hanged.
The Gainesville Gazotte says : Nancy
Hill, the notorious femalo horse thief and
ranger, was hanged about six milos from
Montague, on Denver creek, several days
since. Her body has just been discovered
suspended from a post-oak. nor saddle
and bridle were laying near upon a rock,
and her pony was found a mile or so away,
It is supposed that Dave Porter, her con,
sort, was killed at the same time, but his
body has not as yet been found. The
woman Hill and Porter were together only
a short distance ahead of thoir pursuers
when last seen, which was at Victoria
Peak, on Thursday evening last a week,

Hillersbnrg Fair. ;
MiLLEnsDuno, Dauphin Co., Pa.,
September 18th, 1873.
The Upper Dauphin Agricultural and
Horticultural Society commenced its annual
exhibition on Tuesday, Sept. 10th, 1873,
and thus far has progressed quite success
fully Thousands are coming in from all
parts of the county, and especially the
people from the rural districts, who appear
joyous and happy, betokening a time long
to be remembered by the sturdy yeomanry
of Dauphin County.
Tho place selected for the exhibition is
situate three-fourths of a mile north west
of Millorsburg, oif Sue line of the Northern
Ceutral R. It., antni particularly remark
able for the beauty of its locality, largo and
oommodious inclosure and the beauty of
the Bcenery on the banks of the Susquehan
na. The Floral department is one that at
tracts a great deal of attention and is well
worth the time employed in viewing the
rare specimens of flowers which are so el
egantly arranged by the proprietor of tho
Riverside Nursery, at Harrisburg, Mr. G.
McFarland. The Fancy dopartmeut is
woll arranged. It would consume too
much of your time and would be quite
task for me to enumerate all that is attrac
tive in that dopartmont, but suffice it to
say that it is woll represented and reflects a
groat deal of credit upon its patrons.
The Model department contains one
which is worthy of note, viz. a Double
Turbine water wheel, manufactured by
Barker & Baker, Ballston, Spa, Now York.
As a Turbine it has two independent
wheels the primary wheel of itself being a
first class Turbine wheel and giving a per
centage equal to any other first class wheel
in the market, with the secondary wheel
attached, the proprietor claims to have
greater percentage than any wheel ever in
vented and it is certainly worth tho careful
attention of our practical mechanics
throughout this country.
The Fruit department was not very ex
tensive, but presented some very fine fruit,
such as apples, pears, grapes, &c.
There was a number of samples of wheat,
and some of the finest quality that we ever
had the pleasure of examining, which
speaks well for tho agricultural districts of
Dauphin County. Passing from this the
next was tho Stock department, which was
not well represented, as such stock is com
monly found in the hills of Perry and
would never bo placed on exhibition.
Tho Agricultural department is the next
of note and was well represented with
farming implements, such as reapers,
mowers and grain drills, &o. We noticed
a Marsh Harvester, roaufactured at Lew-
isburg, Union County, Pa. It is peculiarly
constructed with a platform for two per
sons to stand upon and bind the sheaves
while the reaper is in motion, which I
think is quite a valuable Invention.
I will refer to a small portable engine
that was invented by a boy, by the name
of Yeager, of Millersburg, who is quite a
genius, being only fourteen years of age,
and an inventor of and manufacturer of a
steam engine. This much for sister Dau
phin. The raoing on Tuesday and Wed
nesday, was not very exciting, being most
ly confined to scrub horses, except on
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock a trot
came off and was closely contested by the
following horses : Butter Boy, owned by
Fuhrmau, of Perry County ; Dolly Varden,
owned by Mr. Anthony, of Lykens ; and
the Mare Lafayette, owned by Cummings,
of Harrisburg. The first heat was won by
Butter Boy, time 2:50. Tho second by
Butter Boy, in 2:50 J. The third by the
Mare Lafayette, time 2:50. This beat was
fairly won by Mr. Fuhrman's horse Butter
Boy, but was awarded to the Mare Lafay
ette, by the Judges, but I am glad to say
that one of the Judges from Perry, had the
manliness to resign and not sit with t
body of men who would allow their preju
dice to usurp thoir better judgment and
prompt tbom to do such an unfair and con
temptible trick as to award a premium to
one who had not honestly won it. Every
fair man on the ground protested against
the injustice, and it would not have been
a difficult task to have raised a mob and
run those fellows out of the enclosure, so
excited were the people. The honest peo
ple of Dauphin county, cannot but blush
for shame, that creatures should be placed
in such important positions, and lot this be
a warning to the managers of tho Perry
county Fair, to select good and honest men
for those responsible positions, not such
chaps as some of those Dauphin co
Judges. The fourth heat was won by tho
mare Lafayette, also, the fifth by the same.
On the third heat the Mare Lafayette
passed Butter Boy oo a run and thus gain
ed the inside track, and on tho fourth tho
driver of Dolly Vardon and Lafayetto,
managed to jockey Mr. Fuhrman, to the
outside track, when bis position was sec
ond. I am glad to say that at a meeting
of the managers of the Fair, that the first
premium was offered to Mr. Fuhrman, but
which he respeotfully declined to accept,
Thursday afternoon four horses wore
entered, viz : Bhoo Fly, Mare Lafayetto,
Lady Frock and Butter Boy. The first
heat was won by Shoo Fly. Time 2:50f
Second by Shoo Fly, in 2:47. Third by
Lady Frock, in 9:401. Fourth by Lady
Freck, time 3:48. Fifth and lost heat, as
the horses came to the score, one of the
Judges gave the word go and another tap
ped the bell to come back, when two of the
horses went on, and the other two came
back. Lady Freck and Butter Boy, trot
ted the mile, when the Judges decided it
no go and ordered them to trot it over.
Mr. Freck would not lot his horse trot
another heat and thus another dissatisfac
tion arose which was not settled when I
left. David Mumma, Esq., of Harrisburg,
delivered the agricultural address, com
mencing at 1J o'clock P. M., of Thursday.
It was quite interesting. During the de
livery of this address, the U. A. Mechanics
paraded through the enclosure, headed bj
four Bands and one Drum Corps, all of
which discoursed excellent music It gives
me much pleasure to say that the Upper
Dauphin Fair was quite a success, and an
occasion long to be remembered by your
reporter. A. G. 8.
