Agricultural Meeting.

The Montgomery County Agricultural Society will meet at the Court House in this f$l«ce on the second Saturday of December next.

It is important that a large number should be in attendance. Our County Society has commenced nobly and should be nobly carried on and in order to do this our meetings must be fully attended. The farmers of this county need the influence of a good Agricultural Society—they are now doing tolerably well, but that's no reason they should not do better.— Let no excuse short of sickness or absence from home, keep you away from the next meeting. Don't say you knevv nothing of the meeting.— If you have no paper, it is your imperative duty to take from one to three immediately. Men who take |no papers are always behind the times in every thing. That's true beyond the possibility of contradiction. They are not intelligent and never can be.

The State Fair."

Where shall the next Fair be held? Shall it be permanently fixed at Indianapolis or shall it be held at different places? are questions now exciting to a great extent the public attention.— Some are in favor of Indianapolis as a permanent location, others again insist upon the propriety and justice of having it in different parts of the State On this subject we should take heed to the experience of other States and be guided in some degree by the light elicited by them. All who have observed the history of agricultural Fairs in other States, are aware of the fact that success did not attend their efforts so long as they were confined to one place for their rxhibiliens. All of the older States that have State Fairs now pursue the migratory policy and they find ii far more profitable and satisfactory. In Kentucky they have District Fairs and there the places for exhibition are stationary from the fact that it is convenient for all who are permitted to exhibit. We trust for the present our State Board will continue its present policy and let different parts of the State enjoy the benefits and influence of the State Fair. Thus will a wider and deeper interest be awakened on this important subject.

But the question now arises, where shall the next Fair be held? We know not the views of our Society, but if there is one town and county more deserving than another, that town is Richmond and that county Old Wayne. Her editors, farmers and mechanics, have done more for the cause than any others in the State. They have occupied the first and front rank in all departments of agricultural interest, and they have endeavored to infuse their spirit into others, and send the light of their experience abroad to enlighten others.

DC^The tones of that cracked Bell unlike other musical instruments improve not with constant use. Its tsounds are daily becoming more and more like the squavvkings of a goose with the bronchitis. We feel it a duty to inform the proprietor that a company of gallant yoath is now in process of organization, who will charge upon it as fiercely as did the noble Chester, and hurl it from its airy height into the lowest depths of Sugar Creek.

Beware Monsieur Crane, lookout friend Holton, lest you awake from your slumbers some sunny morning and find a gallant rooster perched upon the lofty pinacle whence issue forth those doleful sounds which wellnigh convulse the town with hysteric fits. We await your action.

DCr'The fall so far has been very delightful, with the exception of a few days the weather has been pleasantly warm. But a change occured on Wednesday night last- and winter seems really to have set'in.

Melancholy Accident*

On Friday last, Mr.

a conductor on one of the gravel trains, in attempting to connect a car with the engine, looked back to givfe some direction just as the engine was backing up, gave the link an improper direction and was himself caught between the cars and

BO

severely in­

jured that he died on the following (last) Tuesday night. Mr. Ray was a widower with four children, all of whom are ^Massachusetts. He was a man of high moral character, industrious, attentive to business, and respected by all who knew him. Knowing his danger, his thoughts turned with intense interest to his absent children and he longed to live for their good. 'Tis sad to see one in the full vigor of manhood, buoyant with life and hope, strong for the noble discharge of duty, thus stricken down without warning and without the previous wasting of disease.

We have seen the diseased, the emaciated, the care-worn sufferer sink into death, and the scene was solemn and impressive, but seldom have we been more deeply impressed than by the scene witnessed on Tuesday night last. We stood beside the dying man's bed and observed the last deep heaving of his passing breath we saw his manly form as it relaxed into that sleep which knows no waking we saw the brightness of his calm benignant eye as it faded into the darkness of death we gazed in deep silence as his spirit looked out for the last time on earthly friends and earthly scenes, and never can the solemnity of that hour be effaced from memory. A few hours previous to his death we told him that a friend from Massachusetts had called to see him his languid eye brightened and he asked "Is he a minister." On learning he was, he requested him to pray. The minister knelt beside his bed, offered a short prayer, then whispered words of kindness in his ear. The dying man threw his arms around his neck, spoke tenderly ar.d touchingly of his little ones far-away, asked his prayers for them, then sunk back and in a fewhours his spirit had passed into the eternal world.

William J. Brown oflndiana. DZTLest the Hon. "Head Shaking Editor," of the State Sentinel, should forget the estimation in which he is held by the respectable of his own part}', we most respectfully refer him to the following from the Washington Sentinel. Our readers will perceive that we did not miss the mark in cur recent expose of his would be Speakership's character. "That there vT'ill be an attempt, on the meeting

of congress,

to organize

a party in opposition td the administration, out of the disappointed and discontented democrats, we have no doubt. "The Washington Sentinel, backed by the monkey of Ceorge Law, and published by Bev. Tucker, a disappointed applicant for the office of marshall for the District of Columbia, is to be the organ, and will endavor to secure the public printing as Tom Allen of the Washington] Madisonian did, by the aid of whig votes. This game will fail. Mark our prediction." —Indiana State State Sentinel.

Who is this WillianJ. Brown that dares to raise his diminished head to look at, much less speak of, a gentleman. or a press, or anything with which either has to do? We can scarcely realize the fact that it is he of Speakership notoriety, who strove to walk into that honorable position with a lie in his throat, and the death warrant of his country in his pocket!

We had really hoped that for himself. at least, he had concluded the post of honor to be the private station.

The scenes and scenery of that memorable occasion, which a generous adversary opportunely exposed, and for which a great and noble party continued to blush, are vivid in the memories of all. Benedict Arnold would have sold his country but we doubt whether even he, would have added to that treason, the further infamy of prospective perjury. Judas Iscariot expiated, in some measure, his guilt, by stretching himself between heaven and earth, unworthy of either until he was dead, And we had hoped for the sake of decency, this despoiler of truth and common honesty, would never have had sufficient vitality given him, again to intrude himself upon the notice of society.

It seems not so, hewever. Repudiated by the whole Congress—publicly disgraced by his own party—he has the effrontery to thrust himself forward as public hypocritic, and a searcher of other men's hearts. We know no terms with which to* characterize this moral monster. "Contempt has the power of descending," but

she

falls far short of him. She

would-die before she could reach hjm—for he dwells beneath her fall. That alphabet that spells Thersites, squalidity, and blackguards, refuses its letters to tell us who he is, and

hyperbole for meahness is an ellipsis for Brown! With this much, which is far more than was agreeable to our feelings or} consonant with our taste, we dismiss William J. Brown, now and forever—only refreshing the memory of our readers with a publication of the proceedings of Congress on that day, so fatal to the personal, and, we are sorry to say, not to the political character of this individual.— Washington Sentinel.

OCjPThe Japan Expedition, suggested and fitted out under the administra tion of President Fillmore bids fair to result in the most triumphant success. The accounts ofthe landing and meeting the official dignitaries of the Island are exceedingly interesting. The officers of the American vessels were received with more marked attention and kindness than was anticipated. That a profitable commerce will spring up between the United States and the Island of Japan cannot now be doubted. For centuries back they have been living as secluded from the world as the Chinese.— The Island contains a population of about 50,000,000 who have heretofore resisted all attempts to introduce Christianity with its concomitant blessings. But the door now seems to be opened and bright hopes are entertained of her speedy redemption from the darkness in which she has. for ages, been slumbering.

Those who have not seen the accounts will find Bayard Taylor's letters to the N. Y. Tribune, deeply interesting.

DCPThe Washington papers and Mr. Cooley, the democratic orator of New York, do not agree as to the sobriety of President Pierce. Mr. Cooley charges him with having wine bibbing and drunken revels in the White House, while some of the Washington papers epeak of him as a teetotaller. It seems as if the democracy were not agreed as touching one single thing. No not even the spoils.

Joshua Boyle, the Villain. Will the editor of the Montgomery Journal explain what he means by the last paragraph of the article headed "Joshua Boyle," in his last paper, a copy of which was received by us with the above article marked As we have no recollection of ever having any business transaction with the editor, or any one connected with the office, we are at a loss to know why we are called on to "fork oyer" $8 or be published.—Citizen.

We merely meant, friend Harrison, that other patrons of the Journal had gone to Illinois or Iowa who had left us minus to the amount of $8. No allusion whatever was had to the editor of the Illinois Citizen or any other editor. We marked the article with the view of having Joshua Boyle noticed and thus prevent his imposing upon others as he had done on the citizens of this place. The article was marked and sent to a large number of editors throughout Illinois and Iowa, alJ of whom we supposed would understand it.

We shall dose the $8 mftn shortly,' "Ellick," which we shall also mark and send west, with the request that editors generally notice, for which favor we shall be pleased to reciprocato at any time.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. The Sandwich Islands. By the late mails we haye received the details of the receirPimportant proceedings tending to the future annexation of these Islands to the Uni-3 ted Statea.

On the 26th of August, a correspondence was published between tile French and English Consuls and the Ministers of Foreign Relations, in which the former solicited an audience with the King and Council. This body was accordingly convoked on the 1st of September, at which time a communication from them was received.

They state that they are aware of the course pursued by some American merchants, landed proprietors, and others connected with the Protestant Missionaries, to induce His Majesty to aliejiate his sovereignity, and immediately enter into negotiations for annexation to the the United States. They also state they are aware of the countenance and support which some of the high functionaries at Honolulu have given to this measure. They then declare in the name of their governments, "That any attempt to annex the Sandwich Islands to any foreign power whatever, would be in contravention of existing treaties and could not be looked upon with indifference by either the British or the French government."

They further inform His Majesty that in accordance with the Hawaiian constitution, he "could only alienate his sovereignty and islands under certain circumstances—which circumstances have not occurred—and that no monarch whatever, according to Vattel and other writers on international law, has aright to alienate his kingdom, or to enter into a negotiation with that view, without the concurrence of his people." And they conclude by remonstrating against the project.

Mr. Wyllis, the Minister of Foreign Relations informs them that His Majesty will duly consider the joint memorandum which they have presented.

In the Polynesian ol September 10th, is a communication from the Potestant J\lissionaries, in which they state they have never engaged in any scheme of annexation. The)* have ever cherished the wish that the government would remain independent, under the present constitution and rulers.

Mr. G. R. Judd, whose name has been so prominent in the late domestic difficulties in the government, has now no connection with the ministry, Mr. Elisha H. Allen, late United States Consul at Honolulu, having taken his place. The following is given as the list of officers

John Young, Aljnister of the Interior C. Wyllie, Minister of Foreign Relations

Elisha H. Allen, Minister of Finance Richard Armstrong, Minister of Public Instruction.

Palace, Sept. G, 1853.

It has pleased His Majesty to appoint His Royal Highness, Prince Liholiho, a member of the Board of Royal Commissioners of Public Health, in place of G. P. Judd, resigned.

The King has appointed His Royal Highness, General of Division, Prince Lot Kamehamehe, to the office of Kuhina Nui, or Prime Minister in the place of John Young, resigned, who still retains the position of Minister of the Interior.

Mr. Allen is said to be a Whig of the progressive school, a man fully

terprise, niarirea by bland and prepossessing manners, and possessed of patriotic impulses which are warm and true toward the land of his birth.

Luther Severance, U. S. Corn.mis' sioner, has replied to the memorial of the French and English Consuls, in a letter to the Minister of Foreign Relations, in which he states that the U. S. Government has never made any propositions for annexation, and that it is not at all surprising that "the merchants and landed proprietors,1' in view of the great commercial advantages likely to result, should desire annexation, since there is no treaty or moral obligation to forbid, or any reason for foreign interferance. The French and English nations could still enjoy the rights to which they are entitled under the treaty—that of most foreign nations.

We make the following extracts his letter, which are certainly to the point, as far as France or England are concerned

The right to cede or acquire territory or to unite two independent nations by compact, is regarded as inherent in all independent sovereignties. It has certainly been practised from time immemorial.. The power which can cede a part can cede aH the parts. Modern history abounds iti examples, and none more tban English and French history. Annexation is neither anew thing, nor rare in our day, as the T.urks and Arabs of Algeria, the Caffires of South Africa, and more than one hundred and thirty millions of people in India can testify. People it is hoped may be benefitted by the change but whether so or not, I cannot admit that annexation by voluntary consent is any more illegal or reprehensible than annexation by conquest.— But whether it begone by one process or the other, the government of the United States can liave no colonies.

imbubd vi'ith the spirit of modern en- even when the mercury congeals, no

Whatever territory is added is but an integral part of the tvhole and subject to the same constitution and laws.

The agreement or joint declaration of the 28th of November, 1852, that neither Great Britain nor France would take possession of these Islands as a protectorate or otherwise, was creditable to those powers. The government of the United States was not a party to the engagement, neither was Kamehama HI, so far as appears. The parties to^it by their naval forces, had both made hostile demonstrations upon the King's sovereignty.

The United States has not, but both before and since, though their interests were far greater here than those of any or all foreign powers, they have constantly respected th#° government of the King. They have never sought to limit the right of his government to frame its own system of finance, enact its revenue laws regulate its own system of public education, establish its own judicial policy or demand any spccial favors, and they were the first to recognize the complete and unqualified national independence of the kingdom, by the treaty of the 20th of December, 1849.

The treaty having been faithfully observed, there is nothing in the policy of the United States towards these Islands which requires concealment or demands explanation—nothing to disturb the harmony which happily exists between the United States and the great commercial powers of Europe.

From the N. Y. Tribune.

Eastern Minnesota—Lumbering, &c.

TAYLOR'S FALLS,

Oct. 17, 1853.

Chisago, Minnesota Territory, was organized as a seperatc county on the 1st of January, 1852. It is situated between 45 deg. 18 rnin. south, and 64 deg. 32 min. north, varying from 13 to 32 miles in width, including an era of more than 2,000 square miles.

At the time of the organization of the county the permanent population, most of whom were settled at Taylor's Falls, the county seat, and within a few miles of that place, did not exceed 200, The floating population engaged in the lumber business would swell the above amount to 600 or 700. Since that time the population has been fast increasing, though not with that extreme rapidity incident to some other parts of the Territory.— The entire population of the county at the present time, including both permanent and transient, is estimated at 1,600 or 1,700.

Nor is there a country often found, not even California excepted, where the inhabitants in general are subject to so many exposures, which would sepm to undermine health, constitution, and cause premature death.

During the winter, seldom a night occurs but some of those engaged in drawing supplies, for want of better accommodations, are compelled to make the snow their bed.

This class of individuals seldom suffer, as they anticipate the reality and supply themselves with blankets and provisions. Yet many a lone traveler has been obliged to wrap about him the scanty clothing h& chanced to wear at the time, with neither the means of kindling a fire to warm his chilled frame nor food to appease his hunger. \Ve shall pass hastily over those engaged directly in cutting, and drawing out logs, for, notwithstanding their labors are intense, and

though they never heed the cold, not

occupation can be more healthy.— Their camps are warm and comfortable, their food of the first quality, Loan of 1850-'65

and lucky is the man who is at liberty to exercise freely in the clear bracing atmosphere of a Minnesota winter. But, during the spring and early slimmer months, the exposures of many oi th?-m could hardly be greater. *We refer if those engaged on the drive, that is tho^e who drive out the logs from the smaller streams into the St. Croix, and thence to the St. Croix boom, five miles below Taylor's Falls, where they are collected, assorted, sealed and delivered to their several owners.

When the stage of water is favorable, it matters not what is the weather, uot a day, not even a Sabbath excepted must be lost, for the loss of a single day not unfrequently prevents the lumberman from being able to market his logs the first seasons, which equally affects the interest of operator and laborer, as the contract between the employer and employe is, that no man's wages are due till the logs are sent to market and returns received therefpr.

To sum up their exposures in a few words, it is one coniinual scene, from the latter part, of Mai •ch till June or July, of severe labor both in the water and out by day, and sleeping in their wet and sometimes frozen clothes at night.

At the boom to which we before referred, from some time in April till midsummer, the number of men employed, including raftsmen, varies from fifty ta two hundred. Their labors are severe in the hot, scalding sun, frequently in the water, while a change of dress on account of wet is seldom thought- of.

During the summer months not only business' men are continually passing to and from St. Louis, and other points on the Mississippi, but hundreds are engaged as pilots and

and logs from the boom and other points on the St. Croix river and lake to their destination at the larger towns tin the Mi&sidsippij exposing themselves to all the diseases so prevalent at that season of the year. But a small share of the last mentioned class are residents of this cotifity, yet most of them are within the borders of it a portion of the season.

A colony of Swedes and Norwegians, now amounting to three or four hundred, have settled in the county twelve or fifteen miles west of Taylor's Falls. Owing to the distance they are compelled to travel and often with scanty means, most of them perform their journey in the most economical manner. While on the cars the third class must answer their turn, on steamboats they are literally packed in the steerage cabins, the hot-beds of disease.

When they arrive at their destination, till a temporary shelter can be erected, they are compelled to sleep in the open air, or crowd into the close, narrow dwellings of some of their Swedish friends.

One more fact must not pass unnoticed. Within the space of time I am about to mention, not less than thirty or forty infants have been born in the county, and in the majority of cases without medical aid or advice for either mother or child.

Yet with all the exposures of the different classes we have mentioned, with an average population for two years past of one thousand, including transient and others, and as before estimated, a present population of sixteen or seventeen hundred, so far as my knowledge extends, and I have made much enquiry from people living in different localities since the organization of the county, the 1st day of January, 1852, now nearly two years, not a singledeath of adult, child, or infant, has occurred.

NEW YORK EXTRAVAGANCE.—-The

Herald, in speaking of the extravagance that prevails in the world of fashion in New York, says:

Already our ladies, who make any pretension to the title of fashionable, have commenced a way of rivalry with the European aristocracy, and if the)7 do not surpass them in the style of dress, they are certainly their equals in extravagance. In one year a lady of fashion, living on the Fifth avenue, will expend seven or eight thousand dollars upon dress & weare assured, upon the most reliable au thority, that a walking or promenade dress, such as is seen occassionally in Broadway, costs from fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars.

THE CABINET.—The

Washington

correspondent of the National Democrat writes as follows under date of the 6th inst.:

It is certainly true that, on the reception of the result of the N. York election, Governor Marcy made up his mind to resign, and I have reason to believe that he has only changed I his mind, for the time being, by the especial request of the President. It is certain that the Cabinet is looking out for a storm.

In sundry shop windows, yesterday anew caricature made its first appearance, which we have had a good laugh at. It illustrates the old story bow the Irishman killed the toad.— Paddy, as the fable runs, was going home, with a scythe over his shoulder, and had his dignity affronted, in some way or another, by a toad that crossed his path. Pat determined to slay the reptile, and raised his scythe for that purpose, but, unfortunately, the deadly weapon cut oft* his own head. In the caricature, Collector Bronson figures as the toad, full in the path of a gentleman whose head, bearing a wonderful resemblance in in its features to those of President Pierce, is represcented as having been cut off bjfc mistake. The astonishment of the face, after the blunder of decapitation, is cleverly ^depicted, and there is a sly expression of delight in the collector's aspect which is hi'gWy characteristic.—N. Y.
