SucoeMM of our Agricultural
Society.
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.
The list of awards made by the
judges will be published as soon as
ready.

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. Tbey grasped their pieces of
music with good intonation, grace, pre
cision, and with such well balanced
force and grandeur of expression that
an attack on a battle-field seemed to l>e
in question, yet tbey carried this on
with continually and judiciously in
creasing power, leading forward in tri
umph. 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

success which has marked the intro

A lady down town is recovering the
sense of smell, which she had not en

of the Balm. She had given up her

THE DEAD PRESIDENT.
THE FINAL BCBNK AT KLBBBON—aELIGIOPS
SERVICES IX THE COTTAGE —DEFAKTI'KE
OF THE CORTEGE FOR WASHINGTON.
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

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.
