HARMONY FAIR. —Tbe Fair at Har mony, this county, opened yesterday, 2Tth and will continue to-day and to morrow, Wednesday and Thursday, 28 and 29. THB proceedings of the meeting held by the members of the Bar of this place on Monday, taking action on the death of President Garfield, will appear next week. Da. David Alter, died at bis resi dence in Freeport, Pa., on the 18th inst. He was distinguished in his profession and as a man of great learn ing and genius. JAKES A. GARFIELD was in Bntler on November 25, 1874, on legal business for the Messrs. Phillips Bros., of New Castle, in connection with their pur chase of tbe Starr oil farm in Concord township. l OUR paper is filled this week with all it is possible to give concerning the death and funeral ceremonies of Presi dent Garfield. We have thought that nothing else would BO much interest our readers. CLEVELAND will hereafter be anoth er Mount Vernon to the people of the United States and visited as such, to see where the remains of Qarfield re pose,.with as much veneration as tbej would visit the spot where repose the remains of Washington. ANY voter who has not paid his taxes should remember that he must do so prior to the 9th of next month if he wishes to make sure of getting bis vote. Members of the County Com mittee should see to this matter in their different districts. CREDITABLE: —The ladies of the Presbyterian church, of this place, have sent to the sufferers of the Michigan fires three or four large boxes of cloth ing, containing from three to four hundred pieces, suitable for men, wo men and children. This contribution is creditable to those ladies and the citizens of this place. THE Queen's message to Mrs. Qar field is very tender and womanly and really very touching: "Words cannot express the deep sympathy I feel with you at this terri ble moment. May God support and comfort you as He alone can. VICTORIA." THE Queen also presented, through her Minister at the Government, a fine floral wreath for the funeral services, which was one of the tributes to the memory of Garfield that was attached to his coffin and borne with it to his grave. THE CITIZEN is issued one day later this week than usual, owing to Mon day being the day on which the mortal remains of the late lamented President Garfield were consigned to their rest ing place at Cleveland, 0., and which was observed throughout the Nation as a day of mourning, and on which all labor ceased. Our readers will therefore under stand why their paper comes to them a little later this week than usual. Monday last was a funeral day all oVer the land, and the mourners were all the people. A NOTE from A. D. Weir, Esq., Re publican candidate for Associate Judge of this countv, informs us that he is confined to his home at present bv an attack of rheumatism. He had ex pected to have got down to the Har mony Fair this week and bis friends there will consequently understand why they are disappointed in not seeing him. He has many friends all over the county who feel a lively interest in election this fall, and who will work for bis success whether he is able to see them or not. The office for which be is nominated, Associate Judge, is one he is admirably qualified to fill. THE events of the past ten days can hardly be realized. They have been like a dream—or a shadow passing over. From Klberon, at the sea, where the President breathed his last, to Washington, and from Washington, i the Capitol of the Nation, to Cleveland, j on Lake Erie, where the remains of j the great and good Garfield are to lie, never have there been such scenes witnessed in this or any other country. Never such impressive funeral services. Never such honor paid to the memory and remains of any man. And ail this not only that he was President, but because he was a good man, and becanse of his untimely taking of!. AT REST. The remains of the late President now lav near his old home, hid from the world forever. It was fitting that they were taken there. From his re pose in Lake View Cemetery, Cleve land, is a view of Lake Erie. Here a monument will be erected by the peo ple, such as has never been reared in this country to any other man. We are unable to give this week an account of the ceremonies at Cleve land. They were on a scale the most grand and imprest ive. A temporary pavilion, or tent was erected in the public square of the city, in which the remains lay, in a catafalque, through Saturday and Sunday last and on Monday until removed to the cemetery. This pavilion is described as most grand, being covered with flowers and wreaths the most beautiful. Never before were such a profusion of flow ers strewn on the bier of man. As the funeral car passed on its way from Long Branch, New Jersey, to Cleve land, Ohio, thousands of people as sembled to see it, the men uncovering their heads as it passed, and the wo men weeping and casting flowers on and before it. Such a funeral train never passed through the land. The whole scene, from the sea to the lake, was the most impressive ever witness ed in this country. Bat we cease to write, for "When the heart is fall, when the bitter thoughts Come crowding thickly up for utterance The poor common words— Are snch a very mockery." SaHHBBBSS THE NEW PRESIDE NT. President Arthur, was sworn in to office twice ; the first time at his resi dence in the city of New York on the night of the death of President Gar field, or rather at 2 o'clock in the morn ing of the next day, 20th inst. Then again he took the oath of office after reaching Washington, on the 22nd inst. This was taken before the Chief Justice ofthe Supreme Court of the U. S and other high officials. It is said that this second oath was thought best, in or der that the new President might have an opportunity to make an address or expression that would tend to allay the fears of the people as to bis course. That the public mind was fearful, and even sensitive, on this point was ap parent to all. It could not but be known to the new President. It was prudent and timely therefore that ho should speak the necessary word, and quiet the general apprehensions. He has done so. And it is received as satisfactory. He indicates that the measures of policy and administration begun by his lamented predecessor shall not be lost to the Nation, but will be respected by him. By inviting the present Cabinet to remain in their offices, he gives further assurance of bis respect for the sentiment and feel ing in his own party. For this is what bis party asks—yea, demands. Any suddon change of Cabinet or oth er important officers would undoubted ly be disasterous. President Arthur must know this, and we believe does know it, and will act accordingly. The confidence of all is now due to him as our President. He comes to the office according to the law and should be re spected as such. If he carries out the spirit of bis declarations all will be well—if he fails to do so, every friend of Garfield in the Nation, and they are all the people, will rise up to denounce and execrate him. THE BULLET. Among the items concerning the dead President will be specially no ticed the pout mortem or after death examination by the physicians, and their certificate of the mortal nature of the gun shot wound. While they 1 were totally mistaken as to where the bullet had lodged in his body—it l>e ing found not even on the side of the body they had supposed it to be—yet the fact was discovered by them that its track was fatal, and that death was inevitable from the first, by reason of the injury it inflicted. All this will go far to reconciling the people to their treatment of the case. He could not have lived had tho treatment been different or what it may. Tho spine was hit, and badly wouuded, although the ball did not break or pass directly through it. The only thing that does seem strange is, that they could not tell that the spine was injured. The total bodily helplessness of the Presi dent, with other symptoms he com plained of or exhibited, led many to | believe and say that his spine was in jured. But it is all useless to criticize the surgeons now. Doubtless it was impossible for them to discover where the bullet had gone, and it so they' could not tell the injury it done on its fatal road. —'God reigns and the Government at Washington still lives.' How little be knew what was on store for him when he spoke those words! fgjpe Jinil** €iti**n : P«., 28, ISSt. IN MO US NINO. The Nation is in mourning. The evidence of it is all around us, and in every city, town and village of the land. In this place, on the morning the news of the President's death came, as if by a common impulse nearly every house, office, store or shop, on the leading streets of our town were draped in mourning and yet remain so. The public buildings were also draped and remain so. The sugges tion is that they be permitted to re main draped for the period of at least thirty days. This the occasion will ju6tifv. Not even thirty days will dry the tears of all this people for the loss of James A. Garfield. ——— THE FAIR. BEST EVER IN SUTLER. The Fair for this year has come and gone, and the expression of all attend ing it was, "it was the best ever held in the county." It was a success in every way. More people were in Butler on" Wednesday last than ever known on any one day. From all parts of the couuty young and old came. One of the great benefits and pleasures of a county Fair is the bring ing and seeing so many people togeth er. The effect socially is very good, outside of all other benefits. We met a number of gentlemen from the sur rounding counties, all of whom said it was the finest county Fair, with more people present, and a better display generally, than any they had known of this year. To speak of everything or all on exhibit would be almost impos sible. Every department was well represented. But in one matter ourcoun tv has achieved a State reputation that must be specially mentioned, and that is in her HORSES. If taking the first premium at the State Fair held at Pittsburgh is the test, then Butler county has the finest and best horse in the State. The Clydesdale horse of Mr. Geo. Maize land, of Clinton township, this county, received the first premium at the State Fair and also received at our own last week. This is a distinction for the county in the horse line that is credi table to it, and will doubtless lead to still further emulation and effort to im prove our horses. Having now receiv ed the first honor, let our farmers all strive to keep up and enlarge the reputation of our county for good horses. Besides the splendid Clydesdale of Mr. Maizeland there were "other good ones on the ground, owned by Moreland and Lardin, of Karns City, P. Bauer, of Summit township, Julian A. Clark, of Prospect, and others. Mr. Clark's horse had just been imported from Scotland, landing here about three weeks ago. In Hambletonians there were some fine ones, James Stephen gon, of Summit, had his fine Black Prince (from Dexter), Lewis Bolton, ot Prospect, a fine colt; Dp. Lejghner, of Prospect his much admired Senaca Prince; J. S Hayes, of Connoque nessing his beautiful horse Jay Gould; Hyle, Emel and others had fine colts. F. C. Buhl had a fine span of driving horses; Thomas Hoon had a fine heavy draft bay ; William Shepherd, a fine English Coach horse ; A. O. Kberhart, a fine beautiful Canadian colt; John Waters, a fine WafTiuden colt; Abner Patton, the best jack and a fine pair of mules. Mr. Turner, of Ilarlensburg, Lawrence county, had the second best Clydesdale in weight und appearance and took the second premium on samo, Mr. Robert Ilesselgesser had his largo stock of Clydesdale horses, mares and colts, on the ground and on which he took a number of premiums. Among the blooded horses we find Seneca Prince who was bred in Seneca county, S, Y-, and is owned by J. M. Lieghner, of Prospect, Pa. This horse has become a great favorite through, out this and adjoining counties, and the fine trotting he displayed last Thursday afternoon upon the track certainly warrants the hopes of his future greatnew ua a trotter and a trotting sire. His conformation is re markable. Every point indicate strength and nothing in his make up seems delicate or sufierfluous. The books show him to be the winner of first prize for blooded horses 4 years old and over, and his yearling and weanling colts won the premiums both first and second in the blooded class also. CATTLE. Next in importance would be the cattle, a large exhibit being present. Mr. J. K. Dain had a herd of 11 A'- derneys and took the leading premiums here, as he did on some of his fine Al derneys at the State Fair, where he re ceived $475 in premiums. He had the best Alderney bull and cow. Any of our farmers wishing to have the Al derney stock should visit the farm of Mr Dain, in Buffalo township. M. iI. Byerly, Esq. had a fine Al derney cow and took a premium. John J. Reiber & Co. had several very fine cows and calves and got four "red rib bons" on same. The line Alderney bull of F. Reiber, Esq., was on tlie ground and took another premium. Of Durhams, S. W. Crawford, of Jeffer son towhship, Miller Hutchison, of Clay, Andrew Albert, of Center, Wil liam M. Rrown, of Forward, and oth ers had some fine specimens. I). B Douthctt, of Forward, had a very fine Alderney heifer HMKEP AND SWINE. Never before were there such a cumber and variety of sheep and hogs on exhibit as were at the Fair last week. There were some forty pens of each. It was a very general remark that the display of sheep arid hogs were large; and good. Merinos, South downs, Cotswolds, etc., in sheep, and Yorkshire, Berkshire, Suffolk, China, etc., in hogs, showed the great improve ment going on in the county in those linen. The poultry was without number and of every variety. This depart ment was very well represented and the crowing that was done, and gener al noise made in and about it, attract ed very general attention as well as admiration We could not learn the names of all the exhibitors to thin in teresting department. Chickens, ducks, geese und turkeys of all kinds and feather were on hand. GRAIN AND VKU ETABI.KS. Wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, beets, squashes, beans, onions, carrots, egg plants, pumpkins, etc., all had a good exhibit. We could ascertain the names j of but few of the exhibitors. Mr. Jas. ; Stephenson had fine Odessa wheat. ! Mrs. John Myers, several varities j of fine potatoes. Among the potatoes , we noticed the Victor, which is said to be fast gaining much favor. The Early Rose was the most plentiful, but the Burbank, Garnett, Peerless and other varieties were numerous. Mr. J. W. Bortmass, from his fine gar den field at this place, had fine corn, squashes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., on which he received premiums. Mr. Christian Bortmass also bad very fine squashes, pumpkins, etc., which received premiums. FLORAL HALL. Want of time prevented us giving much time to this department, but the displays by the ladies in needle work were much admired. We only learned the names of a few makers. Mrs. Abi gail Karnes had a fine silk quilt for which a first premium was awarded Mrs. Edwards had a hearth rug and tidv. Mrs. Mackey, a tidv, lace, col lars, etc. Mrs. Joseph 13. Mechling in this department had on exhibit some very good bread and butter. Many other articles in the domestic line were also in this hall which we cannot now mention. The farming machinery, buggies, etc., were said to be of the latest and best improvements. The Reno Bros., of this place, made a creditable exhibit of their marble shop work, in specimens of monuments, etc., for the dead. THE GLASS BALL MATCIL The glass ball shoot which took place at the Fair grounds on Wednes dav morning, under the auspices of the Game and Fish Association of Butler county was well attended. Shooters being present from Parker, Karns City, Haysville, Troutman and MillerstoWn. The match was best out of fifteen balls thrown from a mole ro tating trap, and considering the place they had to shoot in is fully up to the average. Mr. John N. Muntz, of But ler, made tbe best score, breaking 12 of the 15 balls. The other scores run as follows: G. W. Ziegler, 11, W. C. Thompson, 10, Joseph Darling, 9, A. J. Brown, 8, Alex, llussel, 8, A. Bell, 7, B. Kratzer, 7, H. Shanor, 7, E. J. Brugh, 6, JacobGeible, 6, F. McGrew, 5. W. Eutton, 5, M. E. Lutton, 5, J. McGregor, 5. H Walker, 4, F. Wick, 4, R. Darling, 3. Waut of space prevents any further present notice of the Fair. WORDS OF WISDOM. TbP following are extracts from ad dresses made by President Garfield on certain occasions during his life. They will be read now with peculiar interest. "Oh! sir; thpre are times in the history of men and natiops .when they stand so near the vail that separates mortals and immortale, time from eter nity, and men from their God that they can almost hear the beating and (eel the pulsations of the infinite. Through such a time Jias this nation passed. When two hundred awd fifty thousand brave spirits passed from the field of honor thfough ttat thin vail to the presence of God, and when at last jts parting folds admitted that niartyr od President company of the dead heroes of the Jiopuhljp, the nation stood so near the vail that the whis pers of God were heard by tbe chib dren of men."—James A. Garfield on the assassination of President Lincoln. "Fellow-citizens I Clouds and dark news ape round about him ! His pa vilion is dark waters and thick cjoqds of tbe skies I Justice and judgment are the establishment of His throne! Mercy and truth shall go before His face! Fellow-citizens! God reigns, an<l the Government at Washington uti|l lives"—.james A. Garfield at New York tbe time of the assassina tion of President Lincoln. "This day will be sadly memorable so long as this nation shall endure, which God grant my be till the last syllable of recorded time, wheli the volume of human history shall be sealed up and delivered to the Omnip otent Judge."—Jatnes A. Garfield on the first anniversary of tbP de«4l> of President Lincoln. "I look forward with joy and hope to the day when our brave people, uim in heart, one in their aspirations for freedom and peace, shall see that the darkness through which we have trav eled was but a "pit" thtt stern but beneficent discipline by which the Groat Dispenser of Kvents has been leading us on to a higher and nobler national life."—James A. Garfield. "Individuals may wear for a tiipe the glory of our institutions, but they carry it not to the grave with them. Like raindrops from heaven, they may pass through the circle of the shining bow and add to its lustre, but when they liaye sunk in the earth again the proud arch still spftns the sky and shines gloriously on,"—J amps A- fiar field. "From the genius of our Govern ment, the pathway to honorable dis tinction lies open to all. No post of honor so high but the poorest boy ma}' hope to reach it. It is the pride of every American that many cherished names, at whose mention our hearts beat with a quicker bound, were worn by the sous of poverty, who conquered obscurity and Itecame fixed stars in our firmament."—James A. Garfield "I have represented for many years ft District in Congress wbose approba tion I grtatly desired, but though it may seem, perhap*, a little egotistical to say it, I yet desired still morp tjfe approbation of one person, and hiu name was Garfield. He is the only man 1 am compelled to sleep with, and eat*with, and live with, and die with, and if I could not have his approba tion I should have bad company."— JA. Garfield before the Ohio Senate, iitQ "We hold reunions, wotfojr £}>" dead, for there is nothing in all the eartj* that you and I can do for the dead. They are past our help and past our praise. We can add to them no glory —we <ran give to them no immortality. Tftey do uot need us, but forever and (orcvi»r»wo/'« yyv need them."—James A. Garfield, The world's history is a Poem of which the history of every Nation is a canto and every man a word. Its strains have been pealing along down the centuries, and though there have been mingled tho discords of warring cannon and dying men, yet to the Christian, Philosopher and llis torian—the bumble listener—t ! iere has been a Divine melody running through tho song which speaks of hope ami halcyon daystocome. —James A. Gar lield. I love to believe that no heroic sac rifice is ever lost, that the characters of men are moulded and inspired by what their fathers have done; that, treasured up in American souls are all the unconscious influences of tbe great deeds of tbe Anglo-Saxon race, from Agincourt to Bunker Hill.—James A. Garfield. The Senate Called.—An Execu tive Session to Commence Oc ober JOtli. The following is the first official act of President Arthur, and made neces sary by the peculiar condition the coun try is now in as regards its chief exec utive head.
