Grand Display op Poultry. The display of
poultry at the coming fail', by Col. D. Taggart,
of Northumberland, will be, we" venture to say
the best and moft extensive that has cver.occur
red in this State, and will-of itsdlf make the cs
hibition one that cannot be readily surpassed
Col. Taggart had at our last fair 33 cages of the
choicest fowls in chickendom. ' At the comin
fair, at this place next week, he will exhibit 83
cuces of these rare and beautiful birds. These
will embrace every variety of note in the world
enclosed in handsomo cages, which alone cost
nearly three hundred dollars. Tuesc cages are
not only neatly got np and tctentifically con
strncted, but are handsomely painted with
artistic skill, so as to make th color of the
cages harmonize with those of the inmates.
blue shade is selected for one variety of fowls
and a green for another, and so on for the va
rious colors of the different species. There will
be specimens of chickens that bate never been
exhibited in this section before. Some idea may
be formed of the extent of Col. Tajrgart's colony
of fowls when we state that it will require eight
large wagon bodies, well tilled up, to convey his
birds to the fair grouud. The exprnse of truns
Donation alone will cost some thirty dollars, to
say nothing of the other expenses ntteudaul on
the exhibition of such a multitude. In addition
the Colonel will exhibit his beautiful collection of
Alderney stock, among them a call with a calf.
Besides all this he will exhibit some valuable
aud interesting Iudiau relies, which he has col
lected in his travels in Alaska and territories of
the west. And yet we have editors among us who
bavc thrown out insinuations detrimental to the
interests of the exhibition, because their interests
have not been consulted and their itching palms
greased by the officers of the exliibitiou.
A Fine Painting of Sunbcrt. XXe were
shown last week, at Hurrisburg, a tnagnificicnt
oil painting, which is about being lluUhed for
tor exhibition at the fai., at this place, next
weet. The painting is a sketch of pait of Sun
bury, the river from the dam to above the west
branch bridge the blue kill including the point
of rocks opposite the town of Northumberland
It is a true and beautiful sketch, including the
R. R. shops, and the whole of Caketown. The
painting is being executed by Mr. Julius Weaver,
formerly of this placej now a resident of Harris
burg. Mr. Weaver is a fine artist, aud all who
will look upon his 6ketch of Sunbury will no
doubt admire its beauty, as well as to pronounce
him a 6kilful artist. We also noticed a number
of other oil paintings in Mr. Weaver's room,
which are well executed, and would do honor to
more experienced artels.
Visit bt the Grand Lodge Officers. The
Grand Lodge officers of the I. O. of O. F., of
this State, have lately been visiting lodges in the
southern and eastern part of the State, and every
where were greeted with the warmest reception,
We are informed by Grand Warden, 8. B. Boyer,
that they have consented to visit some of the
lodges in this section of the Slate sometime dur
ing the fall, the exact time not having been op
pointed yet. There will be notice given.
however, when they will visit this county, aud
we have no doubt that the large brotherhood of
the order here wijl extend a hearty welcome to
these officers ou their visitation.
State Aonicii tlkal Fair. The state fair to
be held at Lancaster will comuicucc on Monday,
September 27f au,i continue five days. This cx
hibition will be the best ever given" by the so
ciety. e feci very much gratified to be able to
say to our readers that every department will be
fuliy represented. The display of cattle will
surprise our farmers. The Alderney ii, Jerseys,
Hoisteins, Durnams, Devons and Ay res hires of
the bet blood have been entered, and herds from
the bct breeds iif the state will be exhibited. In
the hone department stallions and mares, im
ported, thoroughbred, Cnebred, heavy and quick
draft will be there iu abundance. One hundred
uew stalls have been added iu addition to those
erected, aud the society are now increasing the
number. Two buildings 100 by 30 feet each will
be erected as additional accommodations for ag
ricultural implements. The two tents 100 feet
in tfiuiacier one tor fruits, vegetables, seed,
grain, etc., and the other for flowers, will be
crowded with, the products of the soil. We
feel a proud satisfaction iu thus announcing
the result of the efforts of the officers of the
society aud the assistance giveti by the breeders
j stock and manufacturers of agricultural ma-
chjuery, showiug, as it does, that the people
are to the treat uteres represented by the
society. A visit to the fair will repay those who
will utc oue aaT from busiues. aud devote it to
pleasure and prolit.
It.
The editor of the Watsontown leeord dun t
look like George Wasliiugton, and unlike the
father of his country, he is pretty good on telling
a lie, although he never possessed a hatchet, aud
never expects to. Since he connected himself
with Eicbhollz's Ring he has become uotorious
for telling political lies, to which there is scarce
an cud. He is an apt scholar, and under his
present tutor is making rapid progress, and will
soon compete with his master Jake, and then his
reputation for veracity will be cutirety forgotten.
We hope that he will see his evil habits, and
learu to tell the truth and shame his master.
Exhibitors at the Fair. The name of every
exhibitor at the fair ought properly to be on the
card attached to the article exhibited. Fairs or
expositions, as larger ones are called, arc intend
ed lor the display and exhibition of the articles
taken there, and for the purpose of letting the
pub'ic know who is the inventor or manufacturer,
and where they can be had. The people are the
best judges of the value of an articlo, and al
though they cannot award premiums, they can
give opinions, which aie often more valuable
than the paltry premium of a few shillings
awarded by the judges, who are not unfrequcnt-
ly very unfortunate in their decisions. An exhi
bitor frequently expends from f 10 to 850 to show
his articles or property, and the idea of conceal
ing bis name or to suppose that bis object is the
receipt of a trifling premium, is simply ridicu
lous. Besides, this secresy reflects on the integ
rity of the judges, and assumes that they would
violate their trust for the sake of a few shillings'.

Since the editor of the Democrat did not sue
ceed in extorting from the officers of the Union
Park and Agricultural Association, he has turn
ed moralizer. Had he got his "price" we would
never have heard of the gambling and other
wicked conduct at nsricultural fairs. Now if
we are to have all this wicked conduct nt the
fair next week, which our neighbor speaks of,
the officers better Elrike out one of the rules
which prohibits any kind of gambling, selling
liquors, &c, on the fair grounds. But then the
editor of the DimocraVt preachiug never were
consistent with his actions, and we don't snp
pose ever will be.

tho
Recnion of the 47th Pa. Vet. Vols. From
what we learn the re-nnlou of tho above named
veteran regiment will bo a great success, and a
larger number of its members will be present
than was at first anticipated. We are glad to
announce this fart, aud trust that these men,
who have faced the cannon's month, nor (eared
death 'midst the strife of battle, may have a
right good time on the 22J of October, and that
our citizens will extend to them the courtesies
due to soldiers, and entertain them in a manner
that will do honor to Sunbury.
"And when, in after years, dim scenes of by
gone joys flit through the v.sionary atmosphere
of the brain, we'll live them over in imagination,
end bless the hour that gave them birth."
The words we have quoted need some qualifi
cation before they are strictly applicable to our
soldier reunions. Tberi are sad memories con
nected with those "by-gone joys,'sand the "hour
that gave them birth" is far from blessed. Yet
the idea embodied In the passage quoted is the
governing one of our veteran organizations.
They meet once a year to revive war memories
to live over again
Those scenes that war's dread hand has traced
Cpou their minds : And they erased
Can never lie till the veterans are laid
Beside their comrades 'neath the yew-tree's
shade.
These organizations are based upon the true
principle "that all men are created free and
equal. ' I lie " general wno once sporvea me
stars," aud the "high private iu the rear rank,"
are at these annual reunions equals.
The intricate mysteries of "Red Tape" are
unknown. Their sleep is not disturbed by the
shrill bugle call and the order to "fall in !" Tho
rattle of musketry and the deep boom of can
non no longer herald the conflict and the car
nage. All tuesc belong to me not aeaa past,
for to soldiers it will ever be a liring past, and
in these reunions live it o'er again.
Fish Ponds. Thousands of farmers through
out the country could have these delightful aud
useful little sheets oi water with a very littic ex
pense and labor. A well-regulated fish pond on
a farm is one of Its best features. It not only
supplies the table with th choicest of meat,
fresh from its natural element, but it is a 6ource
of amusement, a poiulof attraction, which will
go further with the boys in making them love
the farm than any other feature or all other
features combined. Then it is a source of fer
tility to the soil and health of its owners.
Wherever a natural supply of water can be
made available, the farmer should by all means
take advantage of it and add an ornament to
bis land which will add greatly to its value.
Exc Uange.
The Central Clothing Store of Messrs. Simon
& Oppenheimer, corner of Third and Market
streets, is being put in order for next wech Tho
grand exhibition of clothing and gents furnish
ing goods will no doubt astonish every one visit
ing the store. A new supply of goods have just
bceu opened, and all arc cordially Invited to see
the great show of goods gratis. No charges arc
made to show all they have in their 6torc, while
those who wish to buy will save money. All
their goods are guaranteed as represented.
The Grand Fair during next week, at the
Masonic building, in the store room of Messrs.
Marx & Bro., will be the finest display of dry
goods and notions ever before exhibited In Sun
bury. Both foreign goods, imported by them
selves, and domestic manufacture will be ex
hibited free of charge. Their store will be open to
all, and pains will be taken to show their stock.
A new supply will be opened for the inspection
of visitors. AH goods are sold at panic prices
nd great bargains arc daily made by parties
coining from a distance.
Mr. E. G. Maize, ot the merchant tailoring
establishment of Messrs. Maize & Schwartz, No.
1108 Market St., Philadelphia, intends visitiug
Banbury during the fair ucxt week. All who
wish to have their winter garments made up in
the city should avail themselves of tho opportu-
Ity by leaving their orders with Mr. Maize, who
will attend to taking measures and guarantee a
good fit. This house is the largest military
lolhing establishment in the city, aud their uni
forms recommend themselves wherever worn.
None but first-class goods are sent out, both in
uniforms for military, fire companies and citi
zen's dress.
The Fair. The fair which commences at this
place ou Tuesday next, will undoubtedly be the
best ever held in northern Pennsylvania. Dur-
ng the past week new life was infused, aud its
success cannot be doubted, and farmers have en
tire confidence, and have been busy in preparing
articles and products for exhibition. They arc
determined that it shall not be excelled as far as
the exhibition is concerned. Tho stock depart
ment, as well as the vegetable, mechanical, fine
arts, floral aud handiwork, will be first-clastf.
The trotting will be the best that has taken
place on the course, as some of the fastest
horses in the country will be entered to compete
for the liberal premiums offered. Oa Wednes
day a grand parade of military and firemen will
take place. This display will bo one of the
finest ever witnessed in this section. In fact,
the managers have left nothing nndonu to make
it a grand success.
The editor of the Gazette, in order to damage
the fair to be held ucxt week, 6tatcd iu his last
issue that David Cliffe, of Riverside, had written
to him asking "what has become of the Sun
bury fair V and theu comments by saying, "We
must say that we don't know what lias or will
become of it." Since then the following letter
has been received which explains itself:
Rr.ERSiDE Nl-rsery, Sept. 18. 1875.
Solomon Malick, Esq. Dear Sir: Yours to

hand with a larger display of plants and flowers

I sell, so that you may rost assured of a good
display. Past kindness prompts mo to do the
best 1 can. 1 was not aware auy leeung existed
with vour papers. I will send a notice to Gazette
that I am coming to the fair with a good display
of plants. Yours truly.
DAX ll CLII"
TOR THE AMERICAN.
Mr. Editor: Has the publisher of a news
paper a riuhl to refuse the publication of an ar
ticle unobjectionable in character and intended
for he public coodf For instance, arc the pub
lishers of the Gazette and Democrat justifiable in
refusing to publish noliccs explanatory and fa
vorable to the fair, when paid for, because they
have some piivate grief or misunderstanding
with the officers ? 11.
Reply. A newspaper is, or ought to be, a ve
hicle for public information. The editor should
be impersonal, and never icrmit his private
griefs or opinions to appear, much loss to
control his columns. His position is in the char
acter of a trust, which he cannot as un honor
able man pervert or use for his own selfish pur
poses. As well might a Judge on the bench give
vent to Lis private giiefs or spleen because he
owed a grudge to one of the parties. An editor
is under moral if not legal obligations to give a
fair and impartial hearing to all, and betrays
his trust in refusing to do so.
Wheat. It is estimated by good authority in
England that the detieieuey in the wheat crop ha
England and Ireland will require from other
countries clKbty-cight millions of bushels. As
a large portion of this wheal must come from
the U. S. States, the prospect of a future rise in
the price is most favorable.
Wm. I. Greenoi gh, Esq., is paving the gutter
and repairing the side walk along his premises,
on Second street. This is an cxcclleut and
much needed imsroveinent. Wc are pleased to
see that Mr. Greenough is extending the paving
of the gutter to the comer past the church nt
his own expense.
In another part of this paper will be found the
card of Dr. David Waldron, who annouuees him
self as an independent candidate for the office of
Sheriff. Dr. Waldron has always been a con
sistent Democrat, but through the great dissatis
faction existing in the upper end to the nomina
tion of Mr. Strine, he has yielded to the earnest
solicitations of his friends to become a candidate.
Dr. Waldron has had experienco in that
office, and was a credit to the Democratic party,
and should he be elected now over Mr. Strine.
wc feel confident that he would fill the office,
with credit to himself and to his constituents.
A congregational meeting was held In the

COUXTY JAIL.
Correspondence that should be Read bt
evert Citizen of Nothcmberland County :
Judge : Tha present number of convicts in
the Eastern Penitentiary is In excess of tho cel
lular accommodation for them. The separation
of each convict from the other is both the philo
sophic and legal basis of the system of "indi
vidual treatment," which now most truly de
scribes the Penitentiary system, or its admira
tion In this Penitentiary.
Tho Board of Inspectors has directed me to
invite your attention to this fact. As the priso
ners under sentence from your county aro sent
to the Eastern State Penitentiary, it is proper
you should have official notice of the inability of
the institution to treat them as required by law.
The circumstances which, in a great measure,
have produced the present crowded condition of
the institution, are the consequence of so many
long sentences, that the average annual dis
cbarges are less than the average number re
ceived. If you would allow me to make a suggestion,
which if approved and adopted would greatly
relieve the institution, it is that young offenders;
first offenders ; convictions for the lesser degrees
of crime ; individuals who are convicted for
violations of law which do not place them
among the crime class, but rather among cul
prits whose offence is the result of some tempo
rary or exceptional cause, should be sent to the
prison of the couuty, or common jail, for pun
ishment by imprisonment. The wisdom of the
course will, on a moment's reflection, it is be
lieved, be apparent. Sentences to a State Peni
tentiary, to a great degree, stamp on those so
sentenced the came of convict in the most de
grading sense. To stigmatize any of the class
of offenders to which reference has been made
with this mark, aud by this name, In no way
subserves the ends of justice of the purposes of
punishment. Long sentences for high crimes,
if Ihe first conviction, do not necessarily reach
cither prevention, example, punishment, or re
form. The adjusting of tho sentence to tho
crime-cause is one of ..lie truest tests of its pur
pose. Time, in itsc'.r, isolated irom a. yainer
considerations, is no element in the aim of pun
ishment by imprisonment.
These remaks are mo6t respectfully presented
for your consideration, and this occasion is em
braced to assure you of the very high respect
with which I have the houor to be
Yours, very truly,

President of the Board of Inspectors of the East

Hon. Richard Vacx, President of tho Board
of Inspectors of the Eastern Penitentiary :
Dear Sir : Tours of 23d nit. has been re
ceived. You stated that the present number of
convicts Iu the Eastern State Penitentiary is in
excess of tho cellular accomodation for them,
and make several suggestions that I heartily ap
prove. In this couuty, however, tho difficulty
is that we have no jail that is fit for the safe
keeping of the large number of prisoners we are
obliged to accomodate. This District embraces
a large portion of the coal mining district of the
Sta'.c, and in point of business, both civil and
criminal, I believe it is tho largest in the State
presided over by a single Law Judge. I approve
of your suggestions relative to the length of sen
tences of persons convicted for violations of law,
which do not place them among the crime class,
Ac. ; but all experience has convinced ns that
owing to the character ot a large proportion, of
the population of this District the public safety
requires a rigid enforcement of the criminal laws.
The evidence produced in many cases is of such
a character that shows that the accused aro not
fit persons to be allowed to run at large, and
we believe it to be our duty in 6ncU cases to im
pose loug sentences.
There is a large class, however, that comes
strictly within tho mcctiug of your suggestions,
such as persons convicted for petty larcenies and
the like, but where the law requires the Court to
sentence them to undergo imprisonment by separ
ate aud solitary confinement at labor. In such
cases, it seems wo have no alternative, but mast
send thern to the Penitentiary for a term not less
than one year. Under tho act of Assembly no
person can be sent to the Pcniteutiary for less
lhau ouo year, and in counties where there are
no lai'.s in which they can be .Injpnsmiy by
separate and solitary confinement nt labor the
Court is obliged to sentence them to the Peniten
tiary. Tho jail in this county was built, I ber
live, during the last century. It contains but
four or five rooms for the accommodation of pri
soners, aud wc have often more than twenty per
sons in it. Toe Act of Assembly requires the
sanction of two successive Grand Jria-lSai-thorize
the Couiy coiiunissioncrs to erect public
buildings. Frequently a Grand Jury, in this
couuty has recommended the building of a new
jail, but the ucxt jury would not concur. The
last Grand Jury In this county reported "that
the iall was unfit to keep human beings lu" ;
aud yet they voted uino In favor and thirteen
against building a new one. Now, under these
circumstances, the Penitentiary being full, and
our jail unfit and not constructed so as to enable
the Court to sentence prisoners to be confined
there to be dealt with In accordance with the
Act of Assembly, "what are wo going to do
about it." I would be pleased to hear further
from you if you cun suggest a remedy.
Very truly yours,
WM. M. ROCKEFELLER,
President Judge, 8vh District, Penmt.
My Dear Judge : Your letter of the 27tu is
acknowledged. The condition of the county jail
In your county is indeed very sad. So long as
the people make their own laws and declare the
penalty for violution of them, common sense
would iusist that the plan oi punishment, or the
system under which the peualty is inflicted,
should be administered iu harmony with the
spirit of the laws, and the relation of the pun
ishment to that legislation.
Prisons are essential to all law governed people;
for civilization demauds that protection 6hould
be the ultimate aim of law, and punlshmeut Is
au cleineul iu protection, and prisons arc ne
cessary for punishment.
The wisest laws are of little benefit if not
wisely administered. Penalties for crimes are
useless, almost, if the infliction of the penalty
is not in harmony with the laws. Punishment
is for the man, not the crime, for tho criminal
is punished. Punishment by imprisonment, for
crime, is to punish Hie guilty, protect society,
prcveut crime by the example punishment pre
sents, aud to treat tho criminal during his lm
prisoumcnt that he may be made a better citizen
under the reformatory discipline of imprisou
incut. To effect this, the prison must be suited
to these great objects. The world to-day Is con
sidering this great object, aud the societies In nil
countries, almost, are improving their prisons
aud prison systems.
The separation of criminals from each other
during imprisonment, or the "Inditidual Treat
ment System," is best suited to the uims of pun
ishment by Imprisonment. It In the end costs
less, for it prevents the crention of a "crime
class," which must follow be produced by the
association of young and old, first convictions
with old convicts. This is the most clearly
shown by the state of things in a neighboring
State and its "Empire City."
A county ought to be able to expend euougll
money to build a plaiu, substantial prison, with
cells for, say, fifty piisouers. The young men,
first couictcd for some offence, sentenced to
the jail of his neighborhood, Is punished by a
short sentence, made to lubor for his support ;
far better for hit oint future and the benefit of
tocietg, than if he is sent to a convict prison and
made a convict before he has become a man, for
some act which his lcflection causes him to re.
grct decpiy deplore.
Give him this reflection at home, so that when
his sentence expires, he will not be ashamed to
admit to his friends at home, that lie is no worse
for his punl shmeut among them.
Money ought not to be wanting iu your county
for so important a public need.
So soon as the people uuderstand that their
money will be boucstly expended lor a jau, in
harmony with the laws they make for their pro
tection, vou will have no trouble In obtaining
enough for a county prison, or at least so I be
lieve of your county.
With tli bluhest personal respect, I am
Judge, Yours truly,

The Multiplication of IiseRe.
Diseases multiply. Oao begets another. A
trifling indisposition may, therefore, originate a
complication of dangerous maladies, indiges
tion becets far more formidable diseases ; a mul
titude of ailments are traceable to constipation ;
fever and atrue unhinges the entire nervous sys
tem, and is therefore the source of the protean
ailments which affect that portion of the buniau
or-'anism. Hostcttcr's Stomach "Bitters, how
ever, whether resorted to nt the inception of
those disorders of the stomach, bowels or liver,
which cive birth to the majority of diseases ami
disabilil ies, or taken when they have ripened in
to formidable maturity, are alike powerful to
cure. The process of recovery is, of course,
longer when the malady has gained headway,
but it is none the less certain, pyspepsia, con
ssiDation. billiousness, kidney complaints, and in
termittent fever, invariably yield to the opera
