After having Jabored hard during the Spring, Summer and early pait of the fall every individual needs a few days of res'; and we have often thought that two or three days could not bo better spent than in attending upon our County Fairs. There are many persons who do not view this matter in its proper light, but consider the timo speut at fairs as lost.— This is certainly erroneous. It must be admitted that the Agricultural interests of our County exceed all others, for we are emphatically an agricultural comuiu- ) riity, and we should lend a helping hand to everything that is calculated to ad vance this interest; and in -order to do ; this wo should not act entirely on selfish principles, but be willing if necessary, to make some sacrifice as individuals in or der to build up and develop the Agricul tural and Mechanical interests of our county. Experience and observation have clearly shown that wherever county fairs are properly appreciate! and supported by the people all their interests aro en hanced thereby. Let all who possibly can, not only attend the fair, but bring something for exhibition. The following from the American Agriculturist for Sep tcmbfcr, is worthy of notice : "Save time to attend the Fairs ; and be sure to take or send something to help the show. Have it in tho best possible order, and don't expect so confidently to get the prize as to be made uncomforta ble if you lose it. It is no shame to be beaten, but it would be shameful for a poor article to take a prize over a better one. Therefore rejoice that something more excellent than your's could be rais ed and that the raiser brought it. A good part of your reward should be in having contributed to make a fine show. A man seldom gains credit to himself by dcolaring openly that things he has, at home, are much better than those exhib ited. Such statements if made should be said privately and generally in self condemnation for not hav ing brougt tho articles. The unsuccess ful competitor seldom gains more than an uneviable notoriety by openly impugning the motives of judges. Every one is happy to receive prizos, and the hope that he may, is a great in ducement to present articles in competi tion. The honor and credit should count for much, the money for very little, and really the unselfish motive of contribu ting to make a fine show, should bo the chief inducement to exert ones-self for the fair. An exhibitor going to the fair with the3c feelings will not leave his wag on loads of fruit, vegotablcs, and dairy products outside, while he searches thro' the exhibition tables to find out if he will be morally certain of tho prizes, before he decides to exhibit. There is nothing criminal in this, but it is certainly not honorable aud commendable." A SMALL BUT VALUABLE INVEST, MKNT.—A good practical buisness educa ion, such as can be acquired at the Iron City College, Pittsburgh Pa. is a for tune to any young man, and just what every,one should have, no matter what his vocation in life may he. It is not only valuable to the merchant or general buisness man, but also to tho farmer, me chanic and professional man; and since the terms of tuition are so verry low, we wonder that any person should think of permanently settling down to any buis« nessas a life calling before having avail ed himself of the advantages afforded by a course of training in this popular insti tution. Wo have yet to hear it said by any who have graduated there,that it was not the best investment that they have ever made.

Schneidle, a ger maa lady, aged about sixty, was return ing home from church, on the Sabbath from Harmony, and when about a mile West of Zelienople on the Rochester roid her horse, which was a spirited one, frightened and wheeled with her.— As she fell out of the saddle, her foot caught in the stirrup, and she was drag ged several rods on the ground. Her leg | was badly broken and bleedingly profuse ly, but she managed tj creep into a fence ! corner, where she remained about tw > j hours befure any one passed by. A3sis» I tauce being promptly rendered her limb was set, and she was taken to her 1 on Brush Creek, six miles distant. —A son of Mr. Samuel Shuler, of Harmony, aged about niiifr years, whilst playing in Ziegler & Latchaw's Machine shop,was unlucky enough to put his hand into some part of the machinery by which two fingers of his right hand were s 0 much crushed as to need removal. B©-Whilc science has labored for the benefit of the human race, it is but a poor return to have imitaters start up and claim merits for their articles which never existed except in appearance.— Sinco Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re ncwer has been introduced, and the rem edial effects of this valuable preparation have been so plain, ( a legion have com menced manufacturing their nostrums. — In point of merit there is no commpari son, no more than the counterfeit resem bles the genuine bank bill. One has a value, while the other is worthless and is palmed off upon the unwary. The effects of Hall's Sioilian Hair Renewer upon the head is to renew the growth of the hair, restore it to its natural color when it has become gray, and cures all diseas es of the scalp. The effects are seen from the first bottlo.— Weekly Times. STATE FAIR.—The Penna. State Fair will be h jid at Pittsburgh from Septem ber 24th, to September 27th. The pre* liiiums offered are very liberal, embracing live stock and all useful articles in hus bandry, housewifery, manufactures, and farm products. The premiums are most liberal in every department, exceeding 810,000 in the aggregate. The princi pal Railroads will issue Excursion tickets —return all articles which are exhibited, if any remain unsold, freight free. We are informed that the Heydrio Steam Plow—lately patented, will be ex hibited, and operated during the fair.— For premium lists address A B. Longakcr, Pittsburgh, Pa. See advertisement in this issue - Suylf our friends will use preperations for restoring gray hair they should use the best in the market. Our attention has lately been called to an article which has an extensive sale and a very high reputation, known as Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, and we are inclined to think that it possesses more desirable and less objectionable qualities than any other in the market. It restores gray or faded hair to its original color in a most re markable manner, and by its invigorating and soothing properties remove* all dand ruff and humors from the scalp. Give it a fair trial and you cannot fail to like it. THE NATURAL LAWS OF MAN.—There are several remarkable articles in THE HERALD'OP HEALTH for August.

It dries readily and forms a coat proof against wealther anfi climate. Read advertisement. For the Citizen. MR. EDITOB : —On the morniog of Aug. 26th, Mr. John H. Crawford, of Scrubgrass township, Venango oounty, Pa.' having hauled a loan of coal, was about to throw it into a coal house near where several hives of bees were situa ted, when the horses having been stung by one or more of the bees, became rest loss, and ran the wagon against tho board on which the bee-boxes wero sitting, and overset five or six hives with bees in them He could not, at first, get the horses to move away from the bees although they were covered with them and wore per fectly frantic with their stinging. He succeeded*in pulling off all the harness and by the help of some others, at last got the horses away. But they were so badly stung that they ran sometimes, then would stop, rear up and strike furiously with their fore feet, and again throw themselves on the ground, perfectly un manageable and mad with suffering. It was unsafe for any one togo near them, i Such a sight never had beeu witnessed 1 before by those who saw them. They both diedbeforo 2 o'clock, P. M., on the same day of the accident. Mr. Crawford was very badly stung, especially on the head, as he had lose his hat in getting the harness off the horses, but it is not thought he is in a dangerous condition. It is astonishing that he got the horses unharnessed without receiving injury from them, for they reared and stamped and struck with their feet in a furious manner. The horses belonged to his uncle, John Crawford. They were a good team, and the loos is considerable, and occurred in what seems to the writer a rery singular way. J. R. C. .A.ID ID IR. ESS OP THE rirto* HEPI;BLIC»S STATE CENTRAL COMMITTER. COMMITTEE ROOMS, IIARRISBURG, August 27th, 1567. To the People of Pennsylcnia: Fellow Citizens —ln a re cent address from this Committee your attention was invited to sundry issues and principles involved in the pending canvass ; and also to the poiitial opinions and judicial decisions of George Shars wood. A short review ofthe principal occurrences, since tho last State cam- now considered proper. The con test of 1866 was fought, in tho main, upon the amendments proposed by Con gress to the Consituatiou of the United States. These were national issues ; and on the one side were arrayed the Union Republican party and the "Boys in Blue;" and on the other President John son, the Democratic party, and all the rebels and their sympathizers from one end of the Union to the other. On those momentous issues Pennsylvania ralKed in her strength, and polled over one hundred ami forty thousand more votes than at her preceeding annual elec tion. Among the results were the tri umphant election of Major General John W. Geary for Governor, and tho Indorse ment if Congress, by the return of a delegation more unanimous for the right than ever known before in the history of tbe Commonwealth. Other loyal States united with us, and the insane wicked "Policy" of his new frends and allies, wag overwhelmed by the unprecedented and magnificent popular majority ol four hundred thousand votes ! Jivery State which had been faithful to the National Government and the cause of the Union during the war,approved the amendments. Every rebel State, except Tenness'ee, rejected them ; and under the rebel pro visional governments created bv Presi dent Johnson, rebel power resumed its authority, and became dominant in their executive, legislative, and judicial de partments. Vagrant and labor laws vir tually re enslaved the freedmen. Loyal men were outlawed and trampled tinder foot; and the revived spirit of the rebell ion was everywhere triumphant. Riots murders, outrages, and assassinations were the order of the day, and security foro'uherthe lives or the property of loyal men was nowhere found. Treason had front seats, loyalty had been made odious, and traitorous conspirators against the life of the nation were vindictiveand rampant. Such was the condition of public af fairs in the South when Congress con vened in december, 1866. This nation had solemnly resolved, and voted, that the Union should be restored on the ba sis of loyalty and jnstice; and to this end was the Fortieth Congress elected. Hence were passed the Reconstruction laws in execution ofthe recent popular verdict. Tho President vetoed them, refusing to accept or abide by the decision of the people, to whom he had so olten and so vauotingly appealed. Congress ro ens acted them over the vetoes, by more than the required two-thirds ; and they are now the laws of the lied. Under them, including the amendments of last session, icconstruction is rapidly progressing; and would doubtless ere long be success fully accomplished, but for the persistent obstructions by the President, in defiance of Congress and the popular will. Jus tice is being done; loyal men, white and black, have been protected from the ma lice of defeated rebels; treason, in a meas ure at least, has ' been made odius," and traitors have been compelled "to take back seats"—as Andrew Johnson, in a lucid interval, declared they should. Even tho better portion of the rebels admit the justice of these reconstruction laws and cheerfully acquiesce in their provisions. General James Longstreet, a distinguished rebel officer, in a recent published letter from New Orleans, ex presses himself as follows ; "I shall set out by assuming a prop osition that I hold to bo self-evident, viz ; The highest of human laws is the law that is established by appeal to arms. The great principles that divided politi cal parties prior to the war were thorough ly discussed by our wisest statesmen. When argument was exhausted resort was had to compromise when compromise was unavailing,discussion was renewed and ox pendents were sought, but none could be found to suit the emergeucy. Appeal was finally mado to the sword, to determine which of theclaims was the true construe, j tion of tho constitutional law. The sword has decided iu favor of the North ; and what they claimed as principles, caccs to be principles, and are become law. Tho views that ice hold cease to be principles because they are opposed to law. It is, threrefore, onr duty to abandon ideas that are obsolete, and conform to the require\ ment» of law. The military bill and amendments are peace offerings. We should accept them as such, and place ourselves upon them as the starting point from which to meet future political issues as they arise." Jeff. Thompson, another rebel General. In a late letter to George D. Prentice, Esq., indorses the reconstruction laws of Congress thus : "The confederate government wiped out States rights the first year of its existence, a bloody war wiped oat slavery, and wiped out the confedercy, so they are obsolete ideas ; and the plain question now presented is, 'Will you accept citizenship under our terms, as contained I in this law ?, and 1 emphalicallg answer j ye * | It is greatly to b# regretted that terms which aro so acceptable to tho Ggliting repels of the South, should be so distasteful, and cause so much clamor from their non-combatant sympathizers in the North. The enemies of the United Ststes hav ing been finally defeated in battle, uni- j ted their efforts to elect sympathizers | from the North, and procure tho admis sion of enough rebels from tjio South to enable them, through Congress, to at tain what they had lost in the field. This programme was frustrated by the loyal people at the ballot box in the election of tho Fortieth Congress. De feated in open war, and again in Con gress, these bafjled conspirators, as a last resort, are endeavoring to save "the lost cause" through the courts. They deny that anything has been settled by the war ; and boldly proclaim that "all til ese grave pendiug questions" must be de cided, 'just pi fact, us they would have been deckled had they arisen eight years ago, or had no icar taken place." ( Phil adelphia Age, July Bth.) They not on ly deny the constitutional power of Con gress to impose terms upon the rebel States or people, but deny that Congress itself is a lawful body, because the reb el States are unrepresented. Ileuce, the recent application to the Supreme Court of the United States for injunc tions, to nuillify the lleoonstructiou laws ol Congress in Mississippi, Georgia, aud other rebel States. Iu the same in terest, and of the s.ime character, is the nomination of Gejrge Sharswood, a well ku urn and life long State rights man, fur tlie Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, lie judicially denies the purer of Congress to issue paper mouey, or to give it value by making i; a legal tender. ( linria vs. Trotl Legal Intelligencer, of March 18. 1804, J. age 92.) Judges Thompson and Woodward, of the same court, not only announce those same doctrines in the case of Nervine vs. Stiitnr et al. ( Intelligencer ef June 10 and 30, 1805, )> ayes 188 add 205,) but in the cases of Knecdler et al. vs. Lrne et al. (8 Wright's lleports, page 238), denied the power of in time of wai to draft men intj the military service. The prins ciples declared in these decisions were an hostile to the national existence and per., petuity as any assault ever made by General Lee and his armed legions at Get :ysburg or elsewhere. It requires no ar gument to demonstrate that if those decis ions on currency and the draft had pre vailed, and beceme the established law of the land, success in the war would have b-en more impossible than if the rebel ar my at Richmond had been reinforced with half a million of men. Is it safe, therefore to plase another man, entertaining these opinions, on the Supreme Bench of the State? Forewarned should be forearniel. These Superior Courts are now the " last ditch' of the rebellion ;.atid the country calls upon the "Boys in Blue," and every loyal voter to rally once more to the rescue ! Complete your «ounty and township or ganizations without delay. With this thor oughly done,victory isjsure, without it there is danger. Renew at once everywhere the Loyal Leagues and associations, which proved of such vast service during the war. Let every patriotic man feel that he has something to do in the good work, and pro ceed forthwith to do it with all his might.— Exclude all side issues local quarrels, and personal aspirations, and labor only for the public good. Be not deceived by the stale clhinor Jnbout negro equality and negro suffrage. These worn out hobhies were supposed to iiave been ridden to death at our last annual elections,when,os now they were declared by our enemies to be the great is sues of the contest. They are now raised up and brought upon tlpitrack again, mount ed by the same riders,and destined to thesame ignoble end. Be not discouraged by the vain boasting of our advesaries. They have been ingtoriously defeated in every con test for years and patriotic people of tie State have heretofore nobly sustained us, ana the cause of the country, under the heavy pressure and discouragement of drafts taxation, bereavement and carnage; and when nothing but an abiding faith in an overruling Providence, and in the justice of out c iuse, enabled us to see the end. Surely there can bo no faltering now when the goal is almost reached ! and w ion one more uni ted rally for our principles and our (big will enable us t> secure the ripe fruits ofthe late dreadful civil war, and to garner them safe; ly fur ourselves and our children. We stand over the ruins of a gigantic re bell ion, tho most formidable enemy ever en countered fby republican iiifti tut ions.— VVe stand close by the graves of three hun dred thousand of our noblest men, who coun ted their lives well spent when offered freely for Liberty antMJnion. In the presence of their speechless but eloquent dust; in the presence of tho doubting and sneering ene mies of Government, at home and abroad in full view of the oppressed millions, who from beneith crushing despotisms watched our flag with tears, and hopes, and prayers, throughout the four long years of bloody conflict, before a God of justice, and in the name of all that makes faithfulness t > Ilim, and honor among men, wo stand pledged to securo and maintain f>rever the principles for which our brothers died.
