t SEVASTOPOL IS FAUGS. DETAILS OF THE GREAT E VENT. London, Sept. 11. All others news pales before the great event of the day. Sevastopol has fallen. There is no mistake this lime. The uni ted flags of France, England, and Sardinia float upon the far-famed battlements of Se vastopol, The Russian stronghold of the Black Sea no longer exists. The last man or war has been burnt or sunk. The great fort known as Sieverna Fort, oh (he north side is still in the hands of the remnant of the garrison of Sevastopol. How long that Will hold out, God knows. The atmosphere above that doomed city has been for the last three days reeking wnh smoke and blood, shot and shell, flames, limbers flying through the nir hissing, wnh the dense roar of artillery, in termixed with the cries of battle and shrieks of death. The scene must have been awfully grand. As yet we have only the telegraphic an nouncements. Whilst the bells in every town in England are ringing merry penis of victory, those same peals are the funeral chime of many a gallant soldier or devoted child. Yet private sorrow gives way to a general joy, and even the bereaved will find some consolation in the thought that their lost ones fell for their cdunlry, and have found an honorable grave with victory ring ing in their ears. It appears that the attack on 16th August was a last desperate attempt by GorlsachofT to compel the allies to raise the siege. His signal defeat on that day most have shown him his case was hopeless. Nearer and nearer came thb baderics, inch by inch, step by step, through solid rock, each yard in ad vance marked by blood,but still onward they came against the mighty walls, and as one man fell another look his place. The bombardment which preceded the last attack was with guns and mortars of much heavier calibre and at much closer range than the previous bombardments. The first result was the sinking of a Russian man-of war and the burning of a frigate. On the ever-memorable morning of Sep. (ember 8, orders were issued for the attack. The French were to storm their old enemy the M-ilakotT, the English the Redan—in lad, the assault was to take place on the same ground as on the 18th of June last, when the allies were driven back. For the previous twenlv-four hourS the town under went a fearful bombardment. The first news reached the War Office on Sunday night, the 9th inst. On Monday night, the news of the full of Sevastopol reached London, and the greatest excitement prevailed in the metropolis. What the People think. A correspondent of the New York Tri bune, writing from Philadelphia, gives an ac count of a visit to Passmore Williamson, and save “His friends are very active throughout our State, and letters which I have seen from prominent members of the Republican parly apeak in a very sanguine manner of his suc cess at the approaching election in the north ern and western counties. We do not expect to do so much for him in this city, as the slavery spirit seems to rule here at present. But we feel assured that if a proper effort be made in our eastern counties, Passmore Wil tiamsnn will oe elected; and in such event he will have received his freedom from the sovereign power itself.” The lollowing letter is from a friend in Tioga county, whose word may be relied up on. The account which ho gives is cerlniniv very cheering: For (he Pittsburgh Daily Gazette. Tioga Count*, Pa.

The pettifogging decision put forth by the four Judges of the Supreme Court of our State is a wonderful anddihon of fuel to the flame; all we have to say is, “Stand from under;” the release of our brother from the dungeon of the oppressor when the propper lime comes, is an easy matter, about which the friends of freedom need have no anxiety.

B. D. Hfunlln. Tho pro-slavery hanker party of this Senatorial district in their conference held at Sinelhpori, Mu’- Kcan Co., on the 20th of September pul tins gentle man In nomination for re-election to (lie State Spo ils. No happier, and no more appropriate selection could have been made, first, for the success of itie Republican party, and second for a full and fair ex position of the principles upon which the pro-slavery leaders of the Democracy are determined to make the present campaign. By his course in the Senate for the last three years, Mr. Hamlin has established his claim to precedence as the most hunkcrish of hunkers in tins district. The issue is now so plain that whoever will endorse the Fierce administration •nd the infamous Nebraska blit, has but to vote for Mr. B. D. Hamlin; and whoever U opposed to the administration and to the Nebraska blit, has but to vole for Mr. Souther In opposition to Hamlin. Mr. Hamlin has enrolled his name on the list of doughfaces who have betrayed the North, and mis represented Northern sentiments. Uis a mutter of record, and that record, by the kindness of a friend, has been placed in our possession. 0{ Mr. Hamlin personally we know nothing, of him politically, from this record, the Senate Journal for 1854, wc know much, and will tell it briefly. J Bui first* let us look at the platform adopted in the Conference (hat nominated the gentleman, and up on which he consents to run. The following reso lution which is the main plank in the platform, should bo enough to defeat him in this county by 2000 majority. Look at it freemen : Resolved , That the agitation of the subject of Slavery is produc tive of evil and only evil, and that we will resist all agitation in what ever quarter it may arise. Freemen of Tiogo, you have not forgotten that the Whig and Democratic parlies in .their conven tions held nt Baltimore m 1852, look precisely the same ground in relation to slavery. They dcprcca. ted the agitation of the slavery question and pledged themselves to do all in their power to pul down agi. tation. There Webster fell, as ho deserved lo (all— as every traitor to God and liberty deserves lo fall. Did these conventions, representing as they claimed the masses of the two great parlies, succeed in sup pressing the agilaliou of tho question ? The thun. dor tones of the sturdy “No!" of those masses has nol yet ceased to ring in the ears of those Whig and Democratic traitors. No, the result of those Baltimore resolutions will prove a source of tear. lotting unreit lo the institution of slavery, so long as it shall curse this unhappy country. Mr. Ham. lin virtually says, for that resolution forms a part of the platform by his connivance, “the agitation of the subject of slavery is productive of evil and only evil, and I will do my beat lo pul down agitation 1" Da yon doubt it? Then let us look at his course in the Senate relative to the anli-Ncbroska resolutions which were introduced there while tho Nebraska bill was pending in Congtess. And first let us state what was held at the time, and what is conceded now —that had those resolutions passed both branches of the Pennsylvania Legislature, tho Nebraska bill could never have patted in He pretent form. But they did nol pass both branches of tho Legislature They wore opposed, by Mr. Hamlin in tho Senate, tooth and nail—to the last, but finally passed the Souls by a majority of three, and went thenco to the House, where through the combined efforts of the Senate opposition and a lew putty heads in the House, they were swamped and fell dead. 1 Referring to the Senate Journal for 1851, ws find THE TIP ft A COUNTY AGITATOR. (hat Mr. K&nkel read io place, Reeolationa enticed “Resolutions expressive of the sense of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, as to the repeal of that section of the act of Cotigress of Match 6th 1620, known at the Missouri Compromise, which prohibit* involuntary servitude north of 36 dog. 30 minutes. Subsequently,.and on the tame day, Messrs Daisie and Kunkcl moved to suspend the orders of the day, for the purpose of proceeding to the consideration of these resolutions. This motion was defeated— . Mr. Hamlin eating against considering the retain- ' (ion*. On the next day Messrs Daraie end Kunkel again moved to suspend the rules in order to take op those resolutions. The motion was again defeated, and’Mr. Hamlin toted against it. On the Ifith'doy of February following, Mr. Piatt and Mr. CrcssWeH moved to postpone the further consideration of those resolutions until tho 15th day of March next ensu ing. Mr. Hamlin and Mr. Buefculew moved to emend the motion by striking out the word “March" end inserting “May thus attempting' to poatpone the consideration of resolutions intended to express tho sentiment of Pennsylvania in regard to the re. peal of the Missouri Compromise, until o day when it was not probable that the Legislature would be ia session, Mr. Hamlin voted to postpone thecansider | ation of the resolutions unlit May, knowing in all : probability that the Legislature would Save adjourned before that time. Why 1 Plainly, in order to kill those resolutions, and thus 1 suppress the opinion of. the people of Pennsylvania upon the Nebraska infa my. The vote on the motion to postpone until ths 15th of March carried in the affirmative—l 7 to 16. Mr. Hamlin voted to postpone, w)ien his single vats would have brought up those resolutions before the Senate for action on that very dot/ —the 16lh of Feb ruary. But he would not give lint vote for freedom. He could not get the resolutions postponed until May, so lie voted to pul them off until March. When the resolutions were called up on the 17lb of March, what did Mr. Hamlin do 7 He voted to post pone them until the 15th day of March, as above atalcd—of course you would suppose that ajlcr ri ling to consider the resolutions on a certain day, when that day came he would be ready to consider them; but not so; he voted againet taking up the resoiutione! They were not taken up. On the 22d of Match, agreeably to order, the resolutions were read a third lime on their final pas sage. Mr. Hamlin voted againel their pottage: but they passed by a vote of 18 to 15, Further—while the abovcnamed resolution* were pending in the Senate, Man Meetings composed of men of all parties, were held in Tioga, Poller and McKean counties, denouncing the Nebraska bill and the proceedings were forwarded to Mr. Hamlin, be* fore be gave those voles. Thus, Mr. Hamlin voted in opposition to the expressed will of his constituent cy. Such is a brief history of Mr, B. D. Hamlin’s course in the Senate on the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, drawn from the record. Did he repre sent the people of this county ? Every man at all acquainted with the state of the popular mind knows that he did nut. The masses in Tioga are not in ft vor of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. But Mr. Hamlin threw hta whole influence in favor of Arnold Douglas 1 scheme to detraud freedom of her fairest territory. Did he not? Examine the record for yourselves, freemen, and decide. And when this Rccood-mle doughface comes before the people of this district, and especially of this county, and asks to be re-elected to a post which he disgraced for three years—acting a living lie to the sentiments of his constituents —they have an opportunity to rebuke him os a traitor should be rebuked, by condemning him to remain In the- obscurity ot private life, des pised by every true.hearted freeman for his cowardly betrayal of Uie true sentiment of the people of his district. Thomas L. Baldwin* The Engle apoaka falsely when it nays lhal Mr. Baldwin, in consequence of failing twice in gelling (he nomination in a Democratic Convention, has ev. er since acted in the “ most bitter and unrelenting spirit” towards his former friends. Ho has never acted thus, .fie was first taken up in Convention on the temperance issue and defeated. On the second occasion ho was defeated in Convention by the most barefaced fraud and underhanded lyirig, carried on by the dirly-work men of the hunker parly. He ap. pealed to the people, who elected him by an unprec edented majority. That showed in what estimation the people held the wirepullers in that Convention. Mr. Baldwin is as pure a democrat as ever trod the sail of Pennsylvania, in proof of which, we have only tu adduce the fact that no man in this county ranks higher with the masses of all parlies. Mr, Baldwin is a frce-soil democrat. His position is a proud one compared with that occupied by Mr. Howland, who, claiming to be a frce-soilcr, consents to stand on a pro-sluvery hunter platform. The Ea gle says lhal Mr. Howland has always stood up man. fully for his parly and for his political friends, and always will. Wo do not doubt it. He is pledged to do the bidding of that little tquad of wirepullers lo cated at Welltlwio', and which it faltely taid to con trot the mosses of the Democratic party in Tioga county. Should be be elected, which is hardly pos sible, he will vole for a pro-slavcry hunker for Uni. led Slates’ Senator—out of hit boatled devotion to hit political friendt —and tuch friendt .'—some of them men whom the promise of the office of Dis trict Attorney next fall, can purchase to do anv con ceivable amount of dirty work 1 Such, are some of the political friends of Mr. Howland to whoso will he is now subservient, and will continue to bo if he is elected. Mr. Baldwin stood up (or his party so long as the parly stood op fur principle. When it forsook the guiding star of Principle, ul the instance ol cprrupL leaders, ho stood up and protested against it. He is now the choice of tho Republican party “without any solicitation on his part,” And there is a wider difference between the two candidates than the hun kers stale. For we are assured by Mr. Howland's personal friends, that notwithstanding his upright ness as'a man, he is hot stable, he is not independ. cnU Uc is not a man to design a wrong; but it is certain Dial whatever his convictions may be what ever his political sympathies may be—he will, if elected, succumb to the will of the pro.sl«v C ry hunk ers at Harrisburg, who have enjoined upon the hunk era who put him in nomination “BALDWIN MUS? BE DEFEATED! Send u, anybody but B.tuiwis! And this is because Mr. Baldwin voted for David Wilmol for United States’ Senator last win ter, andcould not be bought. Because he did this tho Stavcocraey hove proscribed him. Because ho proved true to Wilmot and to Freedom, Die South has commanded, “Baldwin must be defeated’." The issue is plain : Elect Mr. Howland and you give one vole against Wilmot and Freedom; for he, when a candidate before the people sir years ago, refuted, when interrogated, to give hit them relative to the Wilmot Pravieo. Elect Mr. Hamlin and you give another vote against Wilmot and Freedom. Not only Baldwin Is proscribed, but every man who stood up for Wilmol last winter. Laporle and Hol comb of Bradford, say the South, MUST BE DE FEATED 1 Why 7 Because every man who vo ted for Wilmol is incorruptible. Now what is the issye 7 Clearly, in this county, Baldwin and a free-soil TJ. S. Senator, or Howland and ■ pro-alavery hunker Senator. This, freemen of Tioga, is the issue- The agents of the Administra tion are busy in our midst. They put Eddy How land on the houker ticket and (hey will slop at no falsehood that can serve their purpose. Should they succeed, we Shall hear it trumpeted in all quartey— “THE ADMINISTRATION HAS TRIUMPHED IN| TIOGa COUNTY 1" Freemen, are you for Howland and the Administration, or for Baldwin and Freedom 7 That is the question that must be an swered at tbe ballot-box oo the 9th of October. The! Spoil*. K)nr neighbors of the Eagle,” (adopting the “il igant” grammar employed uy out worthy contem porary in referring to our humble self,) still contin ues to harp away opou what seems to be, in bis lit tle world, , “The head, the heart and tongue of all" lo w'll; The Spoils. If our bunker friends did out pay him so well, he would sec, underlying and form ing the base of the whole campaign, the great issue of Human Freedom. We advocate Air. Mathers on this great issue—holding the spoils as secondary. When “our neighbors'* represents that Mr. Math ers received $3OOO a year while he was Sheriff, he slates what he knows to be faloe. Mr. Alalhcrs' re ceipts averaged but half that sum, or $l5OO per an num. If he had been like some men, hard' and un compromising, disposed to increase costs to replenish his pocket, he would no doubt have realized $3OOO a year. But he pursued a far different course. His hand and Ills purse were ever extended to the pour man, and every lenity that was possible and practic able practiced toward tbe unfortunate. A Sheriff lias it in his power to protract and increase litigation almost at will. Mr. Mathers, we are informed, used this power to decrease litigation—thus saving many a man from pecuniary ruin. ' Now.waa this to Ilia creditor otheiwise? The hunker party may see in the strife for the Sherifiality a mere question ol spoils; but will the candid and intelligent voters of this county see no thing else ol slake? Mr. Lathrop, is announced in his organ, the Eagle, as having entered into this strife with an eye to the spoils of the office alone, Now, admitting this to be Lalhrop'a view of the matter, and as he docs not deny it it must be so ad mitted, whal arc the people to expect 2 : Why, if he bo elected, that he will make tho utmost cent possi. blc out of the office—in other words, that he will show ho mercy to the unfortunate poor man who falls into hie ha*de t if there is a pmny to be gained by op • pressing h%f%. Wo do not think so meanly of Mr. Lathrop as lUs, still, the übusc inference is the only one that can be drawn from his course. But we have award to say in regard to certain reports being spread abroad to defeat Mr. Mathers. These reports arc believed gotten up by the consent of Mr. Lathrop himself, his whispered to the ad opted citizen, "Mathers is a Know-Nothing t" The fact is, that Mr. Mathers nevfer was present at a Know-Nothing meeting but'once in his life. But wc are authorized to stale by a gentleman who stands prepared to prove every cssor tiu! in the statement, that Mr. Lathrop ti no* only a Know-Nothings 61/I that he held office in the K. N. Council in hit neigh . and woe a delegate to the Know. Nothing Con vention at l\oga a year ago. And we assert upon our own responsibility, and can produce the proof when the parlies deny that, two of the busiest wire workers ip the Convention that nominated Messrs. Howland and Lathrop, wero Know Nothings in full communion up to Monday night—the night before election day, October, 1854. And if those gentle men ioeint upon it, uip r..m furnish the public with a statement of the causes that led them to withdraw from the order. Put these facts together and then add another, viz; That Know'-Nolhingism was first received with open arms, with its extra-judicial oaths taken ’ncath the ghostly glimmer of a tallow candle at the midnight hour, by the very men —sham dem. ocrals,) who are raising thit lerri6fe about poor, defunct Know fiothingism % when they know that there has not been an organized Council in the County for nearly a year—odd this, and what a miserable appearance these hired runners do make, in lying about John Mathers. Now, and Then. But little more than a year ago, the Democrats of Tioga County in Moss Meeting, resolved, "That in the union of freemen without regard to former po litical attachments, is the only safety for Freedom.” How little this resolution meant in the mouths of the Democratic leadert was shown in the subsequent nomination of a ticket in the Tioga Convention, composed wholly of men whose devotion to party had never been suspected. These things ore fresh in the minds of all, \Ve recall that resolution for the purpose of showing that, although tho would.be leaders of the Democracy were not in earnest when they voted for that resolution, the democratic masses were, and proved their sincerity at the ballot-box. The masses acted like men who fell the interests of Freedom at slake, and in so much, proved lhal the democratic masses must not be judged by the “say. so" of their pretended leaders. That the people are utterly opposed to the exten sion of Slavery into free territory, is not doubled; and from this wo argue lhal the people cannot aup. port the honker ticket in this county, which has at its head, the name of Arnold Plomer. That .ticket waa formed in a Convention which endorted the re peal of the Mittouri Compromite and dared not cen sure the infamies of Franklin Pierce ! Has there been any change in the acnllmenta of tho wirepullers of the bunkers since the above reso lution was passed in Mass Meeting 7 Examine for yourselves and decide; Again they spit' upon that resolution by nominating none but doughfaces on their ticket doughfaces, because consenting to stand upon a prb-slavery platform, a platform endor sing tho infamous Nebraska bill. Tbs hunker lead ers are determined that there shall bo no union of freemen for the Bake ol FreedomT See—waa not every man who had ever been identified with the frco-soil party thrown overboard in that Convention 7 Every man can see this. Freemen, think of these things. Do yon want any more Evidence That the Howland and Lathrop ticket is pro-slavery hunker to the backbone 7—that it is advocated on the Administration issue 7 If you do, read tho fol lowing extract from an editorial in last week’s Ea. gle, sustaining the President in tiro removal at Gov. Reeder: “That Mr, Reeder is a Pennsylvania democrat ia no reason why he should receive more than justice from the democratic press of this Suite. Our own opinion is that in removing him the President has done right, and we are persuaded that any candid and unprejudiced man who will carefully weigh the facts will arrive at the same conclusion.” Lot every democrat look that extract fairly and squarely in the. face and then, it ho can, arrive at any other conclusion than tills: “If I vole for Howland, Lathrop & Co., os a matter of course i endorse the removal of Gov. Reader.” Freumoni will you endorse the removal of Gover nor Reeder? If so, you have only to vote the hunk er ticket from Plumer down to Denison. It is the shortest and surest cut that we can recommend. Attention, Is directed to an address to tbe people of Pennsylva nia under the editorial head. It will be seen that the Republican, Whig and American parties have severally withdrawn their candidates Ibr Canal Com missioner,.and united. upon THOMAS NICHOL SON, of Beaver County as a Fusion candidate. Wo consider this movement as reprehenaibiy late and not at all politic ander tbe circumstances. Tbe Republican County Committee thinks differently; and as we are but nne man while the Republican party numbers thousands, we, as in doty bound, de for to the wish of the majority, in so far aa the cub. atitution of Nicliolaon for Williaraaon 6n the ticket at (he head of (he paper is concerned. But we take down the name of Passmore Williamson protesting eamcttljgfgainel the change at this time, at impoli tic, unjust and unauthorised. At the same time we deny the right of the Republican State Committee to proceed in a matter of BO mnch importance with out an appeal to the people. Freemen. Mr. NICHOLSON is before yon as a candidate for Canal Commissioner In the place of Passmore Williamson, withdrawn. Mr. Nicholson is represented as a sound anti-Nebraaka man. Had tills union been accomplished earlisr, bo could have been elected by 100,000 majority, Aa it is, Arnold Plumcr will probably be defeated by dt> overwhelm ing majority. Personally, we prefer Nicholson to Flumer, and Williamson to cither. - But personal preferences should not be suffered to endanger the public weal. Voters will go to the polls sod vole as conscience dictates. There can be no danger to Freedom then. Good Cbeer! Friends, the skies were never brighter with prom ise for Freedom, in this County, than now. 1 From north, south, east and west, good tidings poor in up on us. The Pcpubliean ticket is popular every where* The people are moving*—“we are sick of being whipped in to party traces by the little clique of hanker office-seekers at Wellsboro 1 ,” is the gen eral cry among tho honest masses. They will prove their independence on Ihe 9ih of October. Freemen, awake ! On Tuesday next you arc to decide whether Tioga County endorses the infamous Administration of FrankVmJPierce, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the removal of Governor Reeder, or whether the whole batch is to be denoun ced. Let every man go to the polls determined to vole on hit own responsibility. Arc you ready for the question ? Qnerieo. Is Mr. Howland pledged to vote for a reduction of the wages of members of the Legislature 1 Does anybody boheve that he will object to drawing full pay for anything he may do, publicly or privately ? Is Mr. Howland pledged to go in for the new county project in the eastern towns? Such is (he report. Look out for hunker handbills on election day, and above all, see to it that the Republican tickets arc well served nut. See to it that no TICKETS arc DESTROYED! Be watchful. A CARD. The Undersigned, Members of the State Republican Committee, deem it proper to say, ihat they went into the Committee on the 27ih, nt Harrisburg, lo support the nnmina. lion of Passmore Williamson, for Canal Commissioner. They continued uniformly to support him during a(f the discussions rhat took place in that Committee, and in the Committees of Conference, and U was their purpose to siand by him so long as in their behalf he should"continue lo be a candidate. They therefore, did not acquiesce in the nom ination of Thomas Nicholson ; but t having since learned, that Passmore Williamson hud not actually accepted the Inominnlion, and has since declined it, antf .being suti*fied that Thomas Nicholson is in favor of the Republican platform adopted at the Conven lion ni Puisburg, and that he does not belong lo any secret political organization, they now concur in Ihe nominalion of ihe latter gen tleman, and commend him to the cordial sup port of our friends throughout the S'atn. WM. B. THOMAS, of Philadelphia . SAML. F. CARMALT, of Susquehanna . Heresies ol tbe Day. If there is anything that hns grieved us, it is the Hid Ihni nur democracy is rapidly lo sint; sight nf its “first principles,” and that n suffers such men as Cuss and Douglass lo engrail upon the parly platform iho rankest heresies. “Popular sovereignty” is said to lie the corner-stone of democracy. We emphatical ly deny it, in the sense Cass uses it. The corner-stone of Jefferson. Jackson radical State’s rights strict construction democracy and the great Master-key lo all its rules of action it is that vital principle which was born in Philadelphia with ihe Declaration of Independence—(hat principle consists in a de nial nf absolute power in government, be ii republican or monarchical. Jefferson and every true democrat, is above forms of gov ernment. The vital spark of democratic! thought and democratic feeling is the asser- i linn of the supremacy of right over might, ] and of the further assertion that the rights of] man are not granted by government, bul that ( they exist. What an absurdity is it in Cass to persisi in tho doctrine that the people of Kansas are to settle the slavery question—a question which many friends of the counlrv must re gard as sealed eighty years ago. What here sy to propose and to argue that ei'lier the righ's of properly or man’s innliennhle rights are to be periodically settled through ballot boxes, as may he the whim ot popular feel ing, The South—we mean the honest, radi cal Slate-rights portion—is right, when they assert that the question is sealed. We say so, too I But not for slavery, as they claim —we claim it is spilled for freedom ! The very proposition to lake a vole in Kansas on the question involves the facts that it makes it an open question, and therein lies the Iren, son to freedom. “Limits to power” is the democratic motto, not who shall rule, but how far shall you rule, is the democratic inquiry. The demo crat asserts every man is free bv inalienable right, and, if not so free, ho is a slave by su perior mi“hl, but never by right, T» admit that popular sovereignty can establish slavery as a right, involves tho admission, that every man in New York is free only by the grace of popular sovereignty, und that our Know Nothings might, if in a majority, rightfully make slaves of our fash and Germans, Oul upon such heresy from a democrat! R, Wo were not on the Pair Ground until late on Wednesday, the first day, but have been informed that the articles on exhibition were brought in with more than usual promptness —a I act which speaks well for the growing interest taken by our farmers in this species of exhibition. The day was not fair—drizzly showers intervening between moments of sun shine during most of the day, rendering it somewhat uncomfortable lor visitors. Not. withstanding this, the attendance was very large—probably reaching 1,500 or 2000. The exhibition of animals was very fine, and gave abundant proof of a spirit of compeu. lion at work among the farmers. W'e thought the young stock far above the average of such exhibitions. The horses were very fine. We noticed some fine plows from the manufactory of Mr. James Kinsdy of Law renoeville, also from Tabor, Young 6sc., Ti oga and from Col. Chubbuck of Wellsboro', Mr. Henry Petrie hail a fine family Car riage on exhibition which look the premium. Mr. Andrew Growl exhibited a fine, strong, but rather heavy farm wagon which look ihe premium. The exhibition of Stoves and Tin ware was very fine. Messrs. D. P. &W. Roberts, Mr. J.
