Wayne County Agricultural Society.
We acknowledge the receipt of a Com
plimentary card of admission to the Wayne
Co. Agricultural Fair, at Houesdale, Pa
The Fair commences on the 27th and ends
on the 29th of September, and among the
brilliant inducements offered to exhibitor:
and visitors is "a 150 premium for the
best trotting. The gentlemanly Secre
tary, Thos. J. II am n Esq., will please
accept our thanks.
It. Edmonds.
We had the pleasure a few days since,
of taking by the hand our old and tried
friend Lt. Charles Edmonds, of Co. D
67th Reg. P. V. The Lieutenant looks
well, and,says he feels well. He has but
repeutly taken French leave of the Rebels
who have had him under confinement
since the battle of Winchester, in June
1SG3 He has always been a faithful of
ficer, and distinguished himself in the
several skirmishes and battles in which
the G7th took part, up to and including
the fight at Winchester. We are happy
to announce that he has promised us a
narrative of his experience in the hospi
talities extended to him by the Kcbs.

The Agricultural Fair.
Our County Agricultural Fair promises
to far surpass any which have.- preceded
it. We hear of quite a number of our
Agriculturalists and amateur gardeners,
who are making great exertions to show
wh-.t Monroe County soil can do, for the
r-iV'trious husbandman. The depart
rucr.ti of ornamental and useful articles
will alo prove quite attractive features.
The lovers of good stock will be pleased
to learn that the. efforts of the manajre
ment to make this department excelsior,
arc on the most liberal scalo. A Special
Prfr.iium of Two Hundred DaUars for
the best trotting, and other proportionate
premiums aTe among the evidences of
this fact. Prepare then, all hands, to at
tend the Fair, and bring something with
yon for exhibition.
A Mammoth Enterprise.
By our advertising columns, it will be
fceu that the two well known establish
ments, Thayer & Noyes' Circus and Van
Amburgh &, Go's 3Ienagerie have affected
an arrangement by which they will both
travel together the present season, and
exhibit in one Mammoth tent for a sin
gle price of admision, forming a combi
nation of attractions which cannot fail to
.nw out immense throngs of visitors
wherever they may go. The Menagerie
is said to include an unusually fine col
i?ction of living beasts and .birds from all
parts of the world, many of which have
teen imported within the last year, while
while all are in the best condition. A
ncng other rare zoological features in
"his collection, are a" white Polar Bear
-e?h from the Arc tic-'Ocean, a superb os-
"nch, a South American hippopotamus,
and monster elephant "Hanuibal," the
largest quadruped on exhibition either in
Europe or America. The Circus perfor
mances which are given at each exhibi-
.-on, without extra charge, will consist of
very variety of dashing horsemanship;
ivnd extraordinary athletic feats. "i

From an article in the'Mild Jgcralil,
as enigmatical as is the creed of the party
which that paper pretends to support, we
make the following extract :
"The editor of the J effersonian knows
whether "the new editor," that tiling
"with a ' kitten under his n6se," does" or
not, that in this county the democrats act
upon what is called the "Crawford . Sys
tem' that we have no such thing as Con
tention nominations in the county. In
this case it is agreed (as we were inform
ed by the party when we first came into
the county) that the organ of the party
should take no part in elections until af
ter the candidate was fairly before the
people. This instruction we implicitly
respected."
We think Cotter more than respected his
instruction so much so, that we liave
never yet, from a perusal of the Herald,
been able exactly to tell who were the
nominees of the party of which it profess
es to be an organ. When George II.
Howland was fairly before the people, as
the candidate of his party, regularly nom
inated, with Mr. Westbrook as his volun
teer opponent, did the Herald dare to give
him an unequivocal support? Did not
Cotter at that time merely pimper .along
with Rowland's name at the head of his
paper ; afraid even to make a simple ap
peal to his party to stand by its man ?

HOw would he have restored it, "boat-

Would Douglas have been in favor of an

heavy crops, and lay in large stores of
the necessaries of life by the abandon
ment of the blockade for that time?
Would he have relaxed his hold on the
throat of the Rebellion at its last grasp,
bid it rest itself, recover its wind and be
prepared to go as it again ? It is proba
ble that Stedhen A. Douglas would have
been a Peace Democrat of the Yallandig

A Snake Captured by a Spider.
A gentleman residing in Orleans, N.
X., a lew days ago discovered a snake:
hanging by the neck from uuder a shelf
in an outhouse belonging to mm. Uu
examination, a small spider and its nest
were found under the shelf. I he snake,
it was also found, was suspended by an or
dinary web, which was effectually wrapped
round his neck and his jaws. The snake
manifested its dislike of the treatment by
occasional violent stnurjrles. in which
he would spring from the flour and exert
his utmost powers to break his filmy
bands. The struggles were very compla-
cently and unconcernedly watched by the
spider from his nest above. The snake
was about a foot in length, and the spiier
was by no means a large species. The
apparently unequal struggle was wit-
nessed bv more than one hundred ner-
sons during the day, attracted by the re-
port of the singular contest. But that frou6 y ieet aeep, on one or wmcil
the cable was accidentally broken by a is erected convenient and substantial sta
person who entered tbe room, the spider klluo DuiIt expressly for the Livery bus
would undoubtedly have drawn the snake 5ness tne front o whicji was erected with

wonderful strength evinced in drawing
up a reptile at least one hundred times
