MEMORIAL SERVICE.—On Sunday morning the people of Troy met at the Presbyterian church to honor the memory of our late President, and fitly express sorrow at his loss. The emblems of mourning with which the interior of the church was dressed, coup led with the sad and subdued air of those present gave evidence of the deep sorrow felt for the death of our national chief. The services were opened by prayer, scrip ture reading and music—after which Rev. C. L. Connell delivered the main discourse of TOWANDA, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1881. the day. Dealing with the life of Garfield as a statesman, he followed his career from the state Senate of Ohio, to his election as chief magistrate of ">0,000,000 people. It was a pol ished and finished effort, full of love and res pect for his subject. He was followed by the Rev. b. P. Browne. The latter speaker found in the president's death the hand of provi dence to which we should humbly submit. MONDAY'S MEETING. Again on Monday afternoon, iu accordance to President's proclamation, our citizens till ed the Presbyterian church, and a second time expressed sorrow for our national loss. After reading and prayer, Rev. G. P. Sewall spoke of Garfield as a scholar and christian. Thoroughness was his chief trait as a schol ar, and consistency his most sterling charac teristic as a christian gentleman, ltev. Joel Jewell spoke of his own personal knowledge of Gen. Garfield. As a christian soldier, as a brave man, and a true patriot his name would ever spread lustre over the pages of history. Rev. J. B. French in the concluding address, reviewed Garfield's military career. In a graphic manner lie painted his enlistment as a colonel, the battles in which he took an hon ored part, the military charges which he successfully performed and his final pronto tion to Major General. Alfred Morgan read the report of a committee on resolutions, which was unanimously approved. On both occasions the music was appropriate and in full keeping with the other parts of the ser vice- it. it. w. Troy, Sept. 27,1881- TIIE FAIR. THE FIRST DAY. The Fair opened yesterday. None of the departments are as well represented as last year, but there are many excellent exhibits— the entries aggregating over one thousand. As usual the attendance was small yesterday. The very creditable display heretofore made by our dry goods merchants Is lacking, but the omission is easily accounted for by the fact that the public mind has been completely absorbed in the sad event which culminated last week in the death of our beloved Presi dent, and the ceremonies incident to the burial. The farm exhibits are not large for the very good reason that most crops have been damaged if not ruined by the drought, but if any one supposes the county destitute of fine fruit and vegetables, let him visit the fair and be undeceived. .The exhibit of fuiit is highly creditable. IWe also saw some large vegetables. D. U. HOLLON, G. B. MILLS, B. HORTON, Hon. 11. L. SCOTT, JOHN LANE and Mr. YOUNG, ! each have a good exhibit of vegetables, which will be more particularly mentioned hereaf i ter.
