Owing to the iact that the Phoenix's drawing could not be got ready on the last day of the Fair, it did not take place until Katnrdav morninsr.

Its effects are instan taneous don't take 15 minutts. Its results are permanent and lastiug. Coe'a Dyspepsia Cure should have a home in evcry household. Jfe? Life has Jew charms for the Dys .peptics which is not to be wondered at when we take iuto account the amount of bodily and mental suffering that this distressing malady generates. The re ruvian Syrup (a protoxide of Iron) has cared thousands who were suffering from this disease. fiT The Ladies of the Presbytcriau Church, at their stand, during the Fair, cleared about S240. This sum enables them to redeem their pledge, made last winter, to raise $1,000 towards the erec tion of their new church building, aud leaves a surplus of some C80. We learn that they are now engaged in an effort to raise money enough to furnish the church wheu completed. The ladies certainly deserve great credit for the perseverance and energy displayed in the prosecution of their share of the woik; and there is but little doubt that their new undertak ing will be as successfully accomplished as was the other. ri, Those of our readers who may chauce to visit Bath, Northampton Co., Pa., will, of course, want to stop at a hotel where they will be well cared lor. To all such we weTuld recommend the Slate Exchange Hotel, kept by 31 r. Da vid Heller.

OCTOBER ELECTIONS. Tbe returns from the interior of Penn sylvania come in very slowly. There is nu doubt of the election of Sharswood, but the majorities are still in doubt. The footings from 45 Counties give over 8,000 Democratic majority. Of the 21 Counties to come in, 15, last year, gave Republican majortie. It is evi dently a tight squeeze. The returns from Ohio are somewhat confused and contradictory. The ioipar tial franchise amendment is certainly de feated. Both parties claim to have se cured the Governor. In Iowa the entire Republican ticket has been successful. Mr. Bennett Recovers the Money Stolen From Him Last April. All of our readers will remember that no trace of the money that was stolen from Mr. Bennett's pocket last spring, was made public during the trial. The impression was general that Fair, the only one of the thieves who escaped was the one who had it in his possession. It Fcems, however, that 3Ir. Bennett was in formed by Churchill that be had depos ited tbe pocket book under a stone on the hill opposite Butz's Saw Mill, and he pointed oat, as Dear as he could, the pre cise place where it was hidden. Mr Dennett and Constable Howard made frc quent searches, but failed to find it, and supposingthey had turned up every stone, they gave it up in despair. Last week, however, Mr. II. C. Pyle who was iu Philadelphia, met at a social gathering Iter. Johu Ruth, Chaplain of the Eastern Penitentiary, who after some desultory conversation told him that Churchill du ring an illness which he supposed would be fatal, had made a couleseioa as to where the money was hiddeu, repeating the substance of what he bad previously told Mr. Bennett, and asking the Warden to write to that gentleman. In the press of other matters the affair was forgotten, and nothiug was heard of it until Mr. Pyle returned ou Saturday evening. Re assured, Mr. Bennett again went to the hill yesterday morning early, and search ed without success. In the afternoon Mr. Pyle and he proceeded to the spot, and the latter in turning over a stone found the pocket book imbedded in dirt and much decayed. All the contents were much injured by dampness and rain, but everything wai found just as it was when taken from Mr. Bennett's pocket, Churchill having said that it had not been opened. Very little of the currency will be of value, although it is hoped that by subjecting it to a micro scope, some at least may be deciphered, and the money received for it. button Free IWss, , The Fair. The Eighth Annual Fair of the Mon roe County Agricultural Society came off last week. In point of attendance it was,-we think, fully equal to those which have preceded it; the numbers ' present on each of the three last days being well up intojhousands. The display inside of the building was Tery fine indeed supe rior to the display of other years. We should like to particularise somewhat on the beauty of this department, and on the success of the efforts of those who contn butcd to make it the chief feature of the fair, but a press upon our time prevented outgivin" the attention necessary to eua ble us to do justice to the occasion. J. II. McCarty and Philip Miller & Sons made very fine displays of furniture, &c., as did C. D. Brodhcad and R. F. & II D. Bush of dry goods & notions, X. Rus ter of rcady-mada clothing, hats, caps & furs, Florey fc Bro. and Wm. Kciser of stoves & tinware, Wm. Ilollinshead of perfumery & fancy articles, the Ladies of the Presbyterian Church of choice, fancy and useful articles on sale for the bene fit of the church fund, and the Phoenix Fire Company of the gifts to be disposed uf in their grand enterprise, among the lot a splendid buggy manufactured at Mr. Valeutine Kautz's establishment for the company decidedly the neatest affair of the kind that has yet been exhibited in the buildiug. Many other things pre scut miglit be named, but we had no time to learn ownership, and can only say that what was there of vegetables and fruits made a very nue uispiay auu rcnectea credit upou those who cultivated them. Outside of the building, the flyiug cir cus, shows and huckster stauds prcdom "mated largely, at many of the latter of which not only the necessaries, but even the unnecessarily ardent, of life were lib erally disposed of. The display in this department was altogether too meager, and was only redeemed at all by the pre sence of a modicum of agricultural ma chinery of undoubted excellence. It is to be regretted that in this department, each year but shows that the interest in live stock is growing less and less, when it should be more and more. We do not know where the fault lies, but we cannot help thiuking, that if the premiums on the jockeying trots, which better shows the tricks of the turf than the good points of a horse, were less, and those on servicea ble horses, superior neat cattle, sheep and swine were greater, our future Fairs would be an improvement on the past. No farmer desires to come into town with a load of produce either at a 2:20, or a 2:40 pace, nor do they care about encour agement iu raising that kind of stock ; es pccially when stuffing and jockeying have to be resorted too to secure it; but a horse who will walk his four or five miles an hour, or even three, is of value to him and a premium with that view could not fail to excite interest and secure compe tition. I The display on the track was hardly up to former years, but it drew, and proved as useful, a great attraction, to those, and their name was legion, who look upon a horse-race aa the greatest display yet in vented. Each day had its contests, iU victories and its defeats on the turf. The Fair closed on Friday evening without anv serious accident occurring that we heard of. There were one or two severe knock downs, growing out of a too frequent indulgence in the ardent, but we presume, by this time, all is well again even with those who were punished. The returns from the several elec tion districts, in this county, indicate the election of the following named oflicers, viz: Reuben Gregory, County Treasurer. Jacob K. Shafcr and Emanuel G. Shoemaker, Jury Commissioners. E. B. Dreher and John II. Fenner, County Auditors. Iu regard to County Commissioner there is somcwloubt yet, but it if proba ble that John Hauna is elected. Conquer Your Prejudices. An ex-United States and Confederate States Senator, A. G. Brown, of Missis sippi, in a recent speech to citizens of that State, thus fensibly advised them: " And now, in conclusion, just one word. Let us conquer our prejudices. Instead of inviting emigration from Eu rope, let us invite it from the north. We waut Yankee capital Yankee enter prise and to get all this we must agree to accept Yankee politicians. After the Yankee comes his politics won't be much in the way; when he sees the dollar he will throw politics, like physic, " to the dogs." Let him come with his money aud all his goaheadativeness. There if no danger of his tampering with the ne gro now, and I promise him a cordial welcome so far as I am concerned. I want these fields cultivated; I want workshops; I want commercial vim; I waut life in this dear land of ours, and to get all this I am ready to forget the past -fad look only to the future." This is seusible. It affords the basis of a geunine reconstruction. When half the Southern whites get into that way of thinking and feeling, the Union will not only be restored, but the people will thenceforward live in concord.

The Debt Statement The October exhibit shows that Secre tary McCulloch, disregarding the entreat les of the inflationist?, has canceled Iega tenders to the full amount allowed bv law, thus removing from the currency four millions of the irredeemable paper which degrades the currency and make all commercial transactions sheer gatn blin. The Uuited States notes were: Sept. 1, 1867, Oct. 1, 1SG7, 8305,104.844 301,164.844 Reduction, 84,000,000 For this earnest step in canceling " le gal tenders' the Secretary deserves, and will receive, the commendation of every solvent man. In funding the 7.30s, a process which must precede resumption, the Secretary has not been idle, though more could have been done had the exchange o 7.30s for 5.20s been opened to the public upon equitable terms, ice i.oOs stood Sept. 1, 1807, Oct. 1, 18G7, $100,73G,025 365,439,100 Reduction, $35,29G,925 The gold-bearing debt stood: Sept. I. 1807, Oct. 1, le07, $1,715,037,741 1,745,190,141 Terrible Gale at Galveston. Increase, $29,509,400 As affairs now stand, the 7.30s can be funded into some kind of long gold-bear ing bonds bj July, IoGS, thus making re sumption a matter of absolute certainty. The debt less cash in the Treasury shows a small increase, but thin is explained by an unusually small month's receipts, and excessive payments on several ac- 'counts. The public, in lookine at the statement, and the national creditors any where, will notice with emiuent satisfac tion that the short debt is steadily pass ing into long, and that the legal-tender trash is being reduced to a point, where, by an honest effort on the part of Con gress, it can speedily be put out of sight, and the currency of the Nation be re stored to soundness. V. Y, Tribune. Rich Scene in a Railroad Tunnel As the North Penn'a. passenger train wis approaching the Sellcrsville tunnel, a few days ago, a young couple in one of the cars were notictd to have a great fondness for each other? This suggest ed fun. Some mischievous chap, as the train was about at the middle of tht tun nel, illuminated the car by lighting a match, when the loving couple were dis covered huggiug and kissing each other iu the most ardent manner. Of course there was an immediate cessation of the delicious amusement. The passengers roared with laughter, and the lovers were immensely embarrassed. Lovers should not allow themselves to forget, when go ing through a railroad tunnel, that a sud den illumination of the car is very likely to hsppen. JJethlehem Timet.

It states that a volume of immi gration from the Northern States i now enriching Virginia, and adds : "If we treat the new settlers kindly, and if we secure restoration and Iran quilily ly going through reconstruction process icithout delay or disturbance, we may at ones begin to reap the bcuedts of an immense emigration, with all the capital, skill, enterprise, and develop ment that wili accompany it. If we pur sue an opposite policy we jnust linger on indefinitely in 2tovertyt xceakness and stagnation."

Th9 Trial of Jeff Davis. It is semi-officially announced, that the Government will ask. for further de lay, when the trial comes on November next, and that the counsel for tbe accused will then make a motioD to enter a nolle pros. Judge Underwood will of course be present, but it is not yet definitely set tled whether Judge Chase will preside. The motion to quash will be argued and decided in all probability during the early part of the term. It is due to Attorney Gen. Stanbcrry to say in this connection, that although he has been consulted re garding the matter, and may have advised the prospective delay, he cannot be held atcountable for the manner in which the case is conducted.

AN KXI'UKSS MESSENGER GAUROTED IN HIS CAR ON THE OHIO ANI MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD, AND THE SAFE ROBBED. From the Louisville Democrat. Another daring robbery, similar to one perpetrated a few months ago, was com mitted on the Ohio and 3Iississippi Hail, road at a quarter past S o'clock on Satur day night. The particulars, as furnished us by parties who came on in the Jeffer sonville Railroad at an early hour jester day morning, areas follows: Aa the train going East on the Ohio and 31ississippi River was leaviu" the station at Seymour, at the time abovo mentioncJ, four men boarded tbe express car unobserved. It is supposed that they got on at the end of the car", and walked around the running board to the door, which they eutercd. They at once at tacked and garroted the express messen ger, 31 r. Dunbar, after which they se cured the kejs of the safe, and robbed it of its contents, amounting to a large sum. A nc total loss, nowever, was not asccr- I 1 f mi a tameu Dy our luiormants. ine robbers got off at a point about three miles from Seymour, where the train nearly comes to stop, owing to the heavy grade. A brake man, who got left at this poiut saw the men get off, and in doing so one of tho parties fell, and injured himself so badly that he had to be carried by his accom plices to the woods. There is a strong clue to the authors of this bold robbery, which, it is believed, will lead to their cap ture. We are glad to learn that the ex press messenger, 3Ir. Dunbar, was not materially injured. The Secretary of the Treasury has re ceived a notification from the executors of the last will and testament of Capt. Ralph S. Fritz, late of San Francisco, that said testator has left to tbe United States the sum of $20,000, in trust, to be applied toward canceliicg the national debt. The executors express the hope that this " legacy may be but the fore runner of numerous similar exhibitions of patriotism by other men.'' The Cap tain eays in his will that he has been greatly blessed; that he has an undying attachment to the Government, the best one that man has ever been permitted to enjoy, and that as he was too old to ren der service in the field to put down and punish the great crime of rebellion, he feels it to be bis duty to contribute toward the payment of the debt incurred in that patriotic work. In the reviewing the conditon of the sugar-producing interest in Wisconsiu, the 3Iilwaukee Senitnd states : "Two years ago the prospects of sor ghum, or sorgho, becoming a staple were so great several extensive factories for crushing machines were established witk in the State. Alasl we fear that many of the mills which they have produced will prove deserted mills this fall. Jack Frost seems to have placed his voto upon tho whole sorgho business, by refusing to let the 6ame rir.en before he had nipped it so severely as to greatly damaage its quality. We feel warranted in Eaying that .for every acre of sugar cane raised "a Wisconsion in 1SG5, not a quarter of au acre has beeu raised in 18G7?" Wooden hams and nutmags are old fashioned, and a genius has invented a wooden watch. He carried one of them into a jeweler's store in Nasiau, (31ass.,) asked to sec some gold watches, aelcctad one valued at S150, bide the clerk put it up, and attcr the package was handed to him he laid it on the counter to step out a moment. An hour after the clerk opened the package and found the wood en watch instead of the one he had sold. The adroit manufacturer, by sorno sleight of hand, had made the exchange. A remarkable hen was killed by 3Ir. Whitaker, of Reading, on Saturday. On opening the hen seven large eggs wera found, six of which measured about eight iuches in diameter aud about six iuches in circumference, varying not more than a half inch from the given miasuro. The seventh egg was considerably larger, and on beiog opened disclosed two distinct eggs with but a thick bkin for covering, and measured no less than nine inches iu diameter. The hen was in quite a healthy condition when killed. The schoolmaster is abroad in Japan. Our well-known friends, G. P. Putnam & Son, have just shipped ten tuns of school-books to tho.
