Agriculture has become a science. There is no business that requires more judgment, care and knowledge, or in which more complicated machinery is used than in that of the modern far mer. The word 'agriculture' comes from the Latin a<jer, a field, and cultura, to till, but in its more modern accept ance it includes the whole business of the farmer, the breeding and raising of all kinds of live stock, and production of all kinds of fruit, as well as the till ing of the fields and cultivation of those plants and grains necessary for the sustenance of civilized man. Man has found the earth in almost every clime covered with vegetation, and yet yielding sustenance for a very limited number of his species, and it was only after this natural vegetation was made to give way to those plants that yield ed him an abundant supply of food, that population augmented and civiliz ation took its rise. An agricultural society is one form ed for the purpose of promoting the science and practice of agriculture. The first society of this sort that history makes any mention of was established in northern Italy at the beginning of the 17th century, from which date they gradually spread over Europe, but in limited numbers. In this grand coun try of ours, however, where the land is generally owned by those who till it, agricultural associations have sprung up in great numbers. These aim to improve the productions of the farmer by making exhibitions of the best of everything raised in the vicinity, so that" all can see and judge for them selves The present agricultural asso ciation of this county was organized some four years ago ; the exhibition or fair, as it is generally called, of last week was their fourth, and although their exhibitions of both live stock and produce have always been good, the people of the county" have in past years for some reason that we know not of, failed to take an interest in them. The association, however, by tair dealing, has won the confidence of exhibitors, and this, in connection with judicious advertising and the hearty co-opera tion of their newspaper men of the town, brought such a crowd to their grounds this year, as has never befora been seen on a fair grounds in tbis town. It is estimated that from six to eight thousand persons were on the grounds on Wednesday last, and this large crowd did not come in vaia. They saw here as good an exhibition of stock as could have been seen at the State Fair; our county is becoming famous for both its horses and cattle ; an exhibit of poultry that could not have been excelled ; an exhibit of the best and most improved farm machin ery manufactured in the countrv, and this country leads the world in that particular; and an exhibit of both fruit and vegetables that, considering the almost unprecedented drouth of the season, was astonishingly good. They heard some good band music, every body was delighted with the playing of the McKeesport band. They Baw some good races, including the bycicle race, a novelty to most of us. Taken, all in all, the Fair this year was an immense success, and we con gratulate the stockholders upon the final triumph of their enterprise and energy.

We were agreeably surprised with a genial serenade on last Thursday night by the above band. The performers seemed to be in the freshest mood pos sible.

The music left us in a most joyful excitement, and gaiety and hap piness sparkled in our eyes, which, could they have observed it, would have sufficiently attested our apprecia tion towards the givers of the serenade.

EI.BEROS, Sept. 21. 1881.—The slow, solemn tolling of a village church l>ell this morning was the only souml that broke the hush that had fallen noon EIIHTOII when the heart of the chief stopped heating. There was no military ceremonr, no dirge save that of the breakers hard by, no pomp, no display of any kind, aud the monosyllabic clanging of the bell seemed like a uiournfnl repetition of the one word, ■'Dead." All was as plain as befitted the char acter of the man and the office he had held. Earlv in the twilight the military guard was was doubled around the cottage where lay all that was mortal of the late President. An of ficial notice had been issued that night that the people would be admitted to see the body at an early hour and the notice not only brought hundreds from the immediate vicinity, but many from considerable distance*. fl»e lawn around the cottage wa» thronged as early as seven o'clock and by half-past eight there were probably three thousand nersdna standing look ing at the cottage door ana waiting for the mo ment when thev could enter. At half-pist eight the word was glvt,n,ai)d from the crowd which had been kept at a distance to the steps of the bouse a line was formed between sentries. VIEWING THE PRESIDENT'S REMAINS. One by one the people entered and passed into the roon ou the southwest corner on the ground floor. In the centre of the room stood the eoffm in which the body had been placed. The casket was a perfectly plain one, covered with blach cloth, the only ornaments being the heavy silver bars that run along the sides and silver plate having the following inscription:— : JAMES ABHAM GARFIELD ; \ • Born November, 9, 1831. Died, Presi- • i dent of the United States, Sept, 19.1881. j The face of the President wa? exposed by the turning down of the upper part of the coffin lid. It was terribly changed from its appear ance before his illness, so much so that very many who had known him in life said in hushed tones: —"I would not recognise him." Not only wis the emaciation appalling, but the lines drawn by suffering were graven in his face until it was haggared beyond description. It is said that he had fallen away almost two-fifths of his usual weight, and it was easy to believe this from the appearance of the face. No sign was visible ot the affection of the parotid gland, the beard being so aranged as to cover the scar. There was some dipoloration noticable on the face, but this was not altegotheF the mark of death. A plaster cast of his face had been tak. en, and the oil applied to the skin had slightly stained it. His left hand lay across his braast in a position that was said to be habitual with him in life. His right hand lay down at his side. He was dressed in the suit of clothes which he wore when he was inaugurated as President last March. The clothes had fitted him then, and not all the art of the un dertaker could make the.n look to-day as if they had beet! PWde fqr him. RELIGIOUS HBHVICES. There was a conspicious absence of adorning. A "V" was formed of two palm branches placed uiwn the coffin. It was the emblem as well as tne initial of the victory he had"&chiev ed. For only an hour were the people admitt ed to view the body. At half-past nine o'clock Chief Justice Waite, Secretary and Mrs. lilaine, Sooretary and Mr*. Windom. SeoreUitnr and Mrs. Hunt, Postmaster General and Mrs. James, Secretaries Lincoln and Kirkwood and Attor ney General MacVeagh arrived at the Frank lyn cottage, and the doors were closed. In ad dition to the Cabinet officers and their wives there were present only the members of the familv and attendants snd a personal friends, numbering in ail not more than fifty individuals when the religious services began. At Mrs. Garfield's request the Rev. Mr. Young, the pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Long Branch, oouducted these services. He had been requested by Colonel Rockwell, on ac count ot the brevity of the time at command, to occupy no more than five minutes. He read the following (mssages from the book of Revelation and the epistle to theCorinthiaus:— All hud been made ready for the departure, which occured iramediately after the religious services. The special train which WW to uo«' vey the feroains with their escort to Washing ten had been backed np ou the track that was laid so short a time ago to bring the President to the seashore. AT WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, September 22. —The remains of the lute President, lying in state at the Capitol, have been viewed by an endless stream of people from the adjaoent cities sinoe live o'clock yesterday evening. At a low estimate not less than twenty thousand |>eople passed in this mournful train. At noon to-day the line ex tended seven squares and three abreast. This morning the remains showed serious indications of decomposition. His eyes wore sunken and partially open. The lips had shrunk away from the teeth and the lower jaw had fallen, giving a grim and ghastly expression. Several times during the day the undertaker found it necessary to open the cuse and powder the face in order to cover the discoloration. To night the coflin was closed and the public informed that it would uot be again opened. Notwith standing, however, not Toss tliuu teu thousand people gathered around the Capitol and are passing through the building to take a last look at the coffin. The funeral ceremonies have been perfected for to-morrow, and in addi tion to the services in tbe rotunda, the fuueral cortege will be similar to that of yesterday. Ex-PresideuUs Grant and Hayes, who together took a parting view of their late successor's remains to day, will occupy a carriage immedi ately iu the rear of the hearse. ARTHUR HWOJIN IN. While the sad soenes were passing in the rotunda, in the apartment* of the Vioe Presi dent, in the adjacent north wing of the Capitol, the ceremony of the formal iinstallation of the new President was being consummated. President Arthur, accompanied hy ex-Presl dent Grant and Senator JoneH, shortly before noon arrived at the capitol, and, repairing to the room which he had accepted as President of the Senate,, awaited the presence of the Chief Justice. The heads of the justices Hunt and Mathews, clad in their official Tubes, soon appeared, and with them the Clerk of the Court bearing the Bible, and advance 1 t/iwards the elegantly craved table behind which the President stood. The oath prescribed by the Constitution was then administered. President Arthur seemed to be fully impressed with the so lemnity and gravity of the occasion. For some moments he remained silent. lu the room were ex-Presidents Grant and Hayes, a distin guished presence never before witnessed at the inauguration of a Vice President: the members of the late President's Cabinet, Senators Antho ny, Dawes Sherman, Hale, Blair, Garland, Jones, of Nevada, and Jones, of Florida, Rep resentatives Krrett, McCook, Townseud. of Ohio, and others. Although it had uot been customary for the Vice President u|mu assum ing the office of President to cleliyer an inaugural address, in view of all till) oiruuiustancos Presi dent Arthur determined that a public expres sion of his |Hisitiou on the policy and purpose of his late predecessor would be proper and tjuiet niisapreheution in the public mind and set at rest any further comment. Senator Sher man, members of the Cabinet and others in close relation with the late administration state to-night that the views of the president thus publicly declared will meet with universal ap probation and praise. THK FUNKRAL PAGEANT. The city is rapidly filling up and from all indications the funeral pageant of to-morrow will be one of the most solemn ever witnessed here AKTItfK'H INAUGURAL— HIS ADDRESS. Washington, September 22.—President Ar thur took the oath of ollice ill the Marble ltooin at the Capital at noon in the presence of the members of the Cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme Court, a iew Senators and members of the House of Representatives, all who could be notified this morning in time to be present; also General Sherman, General Grant, Rear Admiral Nichols, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, General Beale and a few otheres. This step was taken after a conference between the Presi dent, Secretary Blaine ami the Attorney General. Very lew i tenons knew the oath was to be ad ministered until tne ceremony was over. The President and members of the Cabinet had assembled in the Mai hie Room, shortly before 12 o'clock. Chief Justice Waite, in his full robes of office, accompanied by the Associ ate Justices, proceeded from the Supreme Court Room to the Marble Room. The doors were immediately closed aud without any formality President Arthur arose, and standing upon one side of the center table, Chief Justice Vvaite on the other, took the oath of office. The Presi dent's manner was calm and comjKised, ami his response 'So help me God,' wus given in a lirm tone and without a tremor. THE FREHIDKKT'H AIJIIHKHH. The President then read from munuseript notes the following address : For the fourth time in the history of the Republic, its Chief Magistrate has been remov ed bv deat|i. All hearts are filled with grief i»nd horror at the hideous crime which lias dark* ened our land, and the memory of our murder ed President, his protracted siillerings. his un yielding fortitude, the example and achieve ment of his life and the pathos of his death will forever illuminate the pages of our history. For the fourth time an officer elected by the people aud ordained bv the Constitution to fill the vaeancy so ereatcd is called to assume the executive chair. The wisdom of our liithwrs ' foreseeing even the most dire possibilities, matle sure that tbe Government should never be im periled because of the uncertainty of human life. Men u.ay die, but the fabric of our free institutions remains unshaken. Xo higher or more assuring proof could exist of the strength and permanence of popular government than (he fact that though the chosen of the people l>e struck down, his constitutional successor is to be peacefully installed without shock or strain, except the sorrow which mourns the be reaveineut. All the noble aspirations of my lamented predecessor which found expression in his life ; the measures devised and suggested during his brief administration to correct abus es and enforce economy, to advance prosperity and promote the general welfare, to ensure do mestic security and maintain friendly and hon orable relations with the nations of the earth, will be garnered in the hearts of the people, and it wHI be my earnest endeavor to profit aud see that the Nation shall profit by this example and exiierience. Prosperity blesses our country. Our fiscal policy as fixed by law is well grounded and generally approved. No threatening issue mars our foreign intercourse, and the wisdom, integrity aii't thrift of our |>eople may fc trust ed to continue undistur!>ed the present assured career of peace tranquility arid welfare. The gloom and anxiety which nave enshrouded the country must make repose especially welcome now. No demanjJ for speedy legislation has been ht*nrd. No adequate occasion is apparent for an unusual session of Congress. The Con stitution defines the functions and powers of the Executive as clearly as those ofeither of the other two departments of the Government, aud he must answer for the just exercise of the dis cretion it permits, and the performance of the duties it imposes. Summoned to these high duties and responsibilities, and profound ed conscious of their magnitude aud gravity, I assume the trust imposed by the Constitution, relying for aid on Divine guidance, and the virtue, patriotism and intelligence of the American people. After the reading of the address by the Presi dent, Secretary Blaine stepped forward and grasped the Prusjdunt by the hand, and after him other members of the Cabinet and all present shook hands with the President. Ex-President Hayes arrivel at the Capitol soon after the ceremony of taking the oath was concluded, and in company with General Grant shortly after left the Capitol. PRESIDENT A>'o CABINET. WASHINGTON, September 22.—The Cabi net to-day, through Secretary lilaine, tendered their resignations to President Arthur, at a Cabinet meeting at the Capitol after the Presi dent was sworn in. The act was accompanied by an expression of the warmest sentiment of personal regard and the President was given to understand that the members of the Cabinet desired only to relieve him of all embarassment without regard to past political events. The President, without formality, said he did not desire to accept the tendered resignations aud would esteem it a personal favor if they would continue in the discharge of their duties. The condition of public business and the sen sitiveness of the public mind, in view of the recent great national bereavement, warranted him iu asking this indulgence at their hands. Secretary Blaine assured the President that he could depend upon them to use their Uest efforts (o tran(juilije the country and to aid hiiu iu lite performance of his duties in the present trying circumstances. ARTHUR'S RESIDENCE. WASHINGTON, Ssptember" 22 —President Arthur has determined not to reside in the White House, at least for several months, and will continue to make Senator Jonej' houstt his home.
