This department of the Fair was completely
stocked with domestic fowls many of which
were deserving of but the above, in
competition with others.of similar age, deserve
ireeminent notice.
Was daily in attendance, and its spirit
stirring music was a most attractive feature at
the Fair.
The result of this Fair has satisfied the
members of the Institute that they will be
sustained by the people iu the great work
which they have undertaken.
Tito Premiums for the next Fair will be
published in proper time and all means in the
power of the managers used to make it bene
ficial both to exhibitors and visiters.
The names marked thus received Pre
miums and the others Diplomas.
DREADFUL. trIDEMIU.—ACCOUntS from Nor
folk, Portsmouth, and Gosport, Virginia, give
a melancholy picture of the condition of those
cities, occasioned by the ravages of the yellow
fever. From 25 to 50 deaths,occur daily at
Norfolk and fron 10 to 15' at Portsmouth, and
this, too, though all who can possibly get
away have left the infected district's. The
greatest suffering prevails—many of the sick
having no persons to take care of them in
consequence of the panic. The , • streets are
deserted and business for the most part sus
pended. Large amounts of money have boon
collected in various parts.of tho Union to ad
minister relief l The epidemic is,said to differ
from the disease of the same name f iteretolore
prevailing at the, South.
Onto Potrrtes. , --The opposition to Chaie,
for Governor seems to.be subsiding: Two of
the papers which opposed him have oomeinto
his support. Andther published at Gentian

The N. V. Democratic Ilard Shell Conven
tion met at Syracuse yesterday to form a State
ticket. They call themselves National Demo
crats but are openly and bitterly opposed to
the Pierce administration. The workmen of
the great chandelier manufactory of Cornelius
Baker 5..: Co. of Philadelphia, to the number
of five hundred, with their wives and chil
dren, started on an excursion to Niagara Falls
yesterday. They were accompanied by hands
of music and made a great sensation. There'
were 15 deaths in • Norfolk nod 20 in Ports
mouth yesterday of yellow fever. President
Pierce had an attack'of chills and fever yes
terday, similar to what he suffered last year.
A deliberate murder was perpetrated in
Elm street, New York city, yesterday morn
ing. A man named llobert• Bullins shot an
other, named Henry Bloomer with a pistol.—
The charge passed through the breast of the
victim, and he died soon after. Bulins con
fessed the deed and seemed to think it per
fectly right.. lie charged Bloomer with hav
ing robbed his trunk two years ago, and swore
falsely against him on a recent trial for as

ture has authorized a vote to be taken in the

St. Louis, on the 20th inst , destroyed three
large four story warehouses owned by D. D.
Page and L. A. Benoist, and occupied by Ly

$25,000. Insurance $20,000. A flood at
Albany on Thursday, inundated cellars, streets

in the last five years. During the previous
rive the indrease was 14 , 1,171. A frame house
in process of construction at Easton, Pa., fell
yesterday, and fatally wounded one man and
badly hurt five others. The Bucks County
Agricultural Fair took place yesterday at
Doylestown, and was rendered attractive by a
baby show, and an exhibition of female eques
trianism for prices.
GREAT OUTRAGE.-WO learn from the cor
respondence of the Philadelphia, Ledger that
a man named Patterson, twenty-one years of.
age, was brought to Chester county prison on
Wednesday night. last, upon n charge of com
mitting one of the most fiendish outrages ever
perpetrated, in attempting first to violate the
person of ayoung female acquaintance, and
then.to murder her. The man resides in West
Whiteland township, near the West Chester
Railroad, and resides with .a farmer named
Thomas Hoskins. The outrage was perpetra
ted on the evening of Wednesday, in a lonely
spot, and the female was left in a condition
which he doubtless supposed to be lifeless—
the murder being designed to destroy all
evidence of his guilt. The female in question
and who at present is lying in a most precari
ous position, also resides with Mr. Hoskins,
as does Patterson.
It appears that on Wednesday afternoon, a
female acquaintance of Miss Workman resid
ing at the Steamboat Station, called to make
a visit and remained until evening, Ithen she
returned home. Miss Workman accompanied
her for some distance, and they were escorted
by Patterson. After separating from her
friend, Patterson and Atiss Workman return
ed homewards. The path leads diagonally
across the field east of the Steamboat and
then across two or three other fields to the
West Chester Railroad. Half way between
the two roads, and but a short distando from
a house, Patterson attempted to take liber ! .
ties, but meeting resistance, he resorted to
force; afior a struggle he threw her 'to the
ground, beat, her on the head, bruised her
neck, and whether his purpose was anon
plit•hed or not, left her in almost a lifeless
condition. Patterson went back to the Steam
boat Hotel on the Columbia Railroad, rind
there stated that as he and Miss Workrimn
were going along, they met two men, one' of
whom seized him and held him while the
other seized the young woman, Miss Work
man; and that notwithstanding his efforts a
wanton outrage was comiiiitted on Miss W.,
and that she was beat and murdered. Mr.
Whitohill, in company with two others, went
to the place described by Patterson,•and there
they found the young woman 'in a most de-,
plumbic) condition: She was barely conscious
of her condition and able to describe the out
rageous conduct of Patterson, who will proba
bly meet with his deserts. Her case was con
sidered very critical- from fracture of the
skull and other injuries.
• SPIRITUALISTS' Pic NlC.—The Spiritualists
'of New York had a pie nic; a feW days ago, at
:West Flushing, L. I.; at 'Which a large con-•
course, of persons were present, and' many ex
traordinary feats were performed. They sung

Gortichakoff is• making efforts to impress the
Russians with an idea that the influence of
their priests is irresistible. It is at.uounced
that Spain has joined the Allies, 4 end will fur

The Pope has excommunicated t' e King
and ministers of Sardinia, rn account of thti
recent confiscations of church 'property, -and
had a sharp correspondence With Zavala,
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, upon the
same subject. In the British Parliament, the
annual statement of affairs in India had pro
voked a spirited debate, in which Mr. John
Bright made a conspicuous figure. Lord John
Russell had made a vigorous speech against
the continvauce of the war, but the effort had
made no Ibpression.
By the arrival at New York, of the steamer
George Law, bringing $1.285,616 in gold, we
have later advices from California and the Pa
cific. A fire in Stockton has destroyed twenty
houses. Loss $30,000. , Another tire in San
Francisco has distroyed Gm same number of
houses. An earthquake of a violent and des
tructive charmer has occurred at Los Angelos.

and the garrison evacuated the town after re
moving all theii guns, ammunition, &c. The
Allies destroyed the fortifications, &c. The•
Russian escaped the vigilance of their enemy
under cover of a dense fog, and sai:ed off to
their new settlement at the mouth of the
Amoor river, conveyed by two frigates and
four merchant vessels. The Allies then soiled
fur Russian American, but did nothing there,
as the place is a fur-trading post, prottcted by
treaty between Britain and Russia. A telegra

Panama and Aspinwall.
NEW OItLEAN,S Aug. 25 —By the arrival of
the Orizaba we have advices from Vera Cruz
to July 22. Santa Anna left the city of Mexi
co, on the 9th, under an escort of 2500 men,
and upon his arrival at Perote signed his,ab-
Ilication of the Presidency. On the 17th he
embarked at Vera Cruz, for novena. A day
or two after leaving the city of Mexico; 700 or
800 of the escort revolted, and, after killing
one or two officers, proceeded to join Alvarez.
General Curre has been appointed Pro
visional President, and , General La Vega Com
mander-in-Chief of the Army.
The State prisoners at the city of Mexico
had been liberated, and a 'mob committed a
number of excesses; the house of Santa Anna's,
mother-in-law was completely gutted •in the
excitement. '
The appointment of Pedal, who came pas

RUSSIA AND A PROTRACTED WAR.-A writer
in the Journal of Commerce, who has been a
resident of Russia, says that in a' long war
the Allies have =oh the best eli!ndo - ; that
Russia has been accumulating material for
the war for the last quarter of is century, but
that in a campaign or two more her resources
will be exhausted. 'He says that Russia pays
