QCirouit Prosecutor. . We are authorized to annoance WILLIAM B. McCONNELL, of Steuben eouniy, as a candidate for Prosecutor of the 35th Judicial District, at the election on the 14th day of Qctober. e CoL. B. W. OAEKLEY, one of the oldest and best esteemed citizens of Fort Wayne, died last Monday a week ago,’ aged 66 years. ‘ i IsaAc E. KnlseLy, Esq., authorizes us to state that he is not and will not be a candidate for Circuit Prosecutor at the ensuing election. . FroM EUROPE comes the report of ‘the death of the wife of Prince Bismarck, aged 46 years; also that of Louisa Mullbach, the celebrated German authoress. ‘ )O AW e A NEW PARTY is quietly being organized in California, headed by Gov. Booth,®vho has incurred the displeasure of his republican brethren by his bold denunciation of railroad monpolies. The new movement seems to meet with great favor.

WHATEVER may transpire, we hope the suggestion of Senator Morton. to convene Congress will not be heeded. The experiment of regulating finances by legislation, was tried during the war and invarialy regulted disastrously to the country. The folly shouled therefore not be repeated. -

JUupGE CYRUS L. DuNHAM, who is 4 very able, but unfortunately °also quite a dissipated, man, recently bei carhe involved in a quarrel at a dance in the town of Charlestown, Clark county, this State, and was roundly threshed: The Judge seems to have quite a facultyj for ge’gting mixed up in bad scrapes) " . :

THE ONLY FAILURE in Toledo thus far is that of the banking house of Kraus & Smith, the liabilities of which are stated at $BOO,OOO. Mr. Kraus estimates the assetts at $lOO,OOO over and above al] liabilities, provided no too great sacrifice is required in the sale of securities. It was feared that the deinands of the manufacturing establishments' (for paying off employes yesterday) would exhaust the resources of the banks, but authentic information this morning is to the effect that enough money was on hand to meet all demands. The situation is consequently greatly improved.

THE FAILURE‘rof :Tzi.y Cooke & Co. is seized by ‘the N. Y. Tribune as an opportunity for showing up the insecurity of our t?nancial system. It argues with accustomed ability that “our currency is depreciated. The premium on gold, the increased cost of living, and the complete withdrawal of coin from circulation, afford sufficient proof of that. It is depreciated because t_oo much has been issued. To add to the volume will only depreciate it the more. When greenbacks were made a legal tender and prices began to rise, the debtors of the country found that their debts could be settled for less value than they originally received from .the-creditor. Speculations were thus encouraged and an cra of reckless borrowing was inaugurated. The furor of gambling spread onevery side. The morals of thousands of men in business became contaminated. We sowed the wind, and we now reap the whirlwind. The insidious disease which for ten years and more has been poisoning the blood of the nation now shows its horrid work to the light of day-and the eyes of the world., Faithlessness to their trusts in officers of Government, from the highest to the lowest, and in custodians of private funds; rapacity and unscrupulousness of corporations; cowardice and venality of those who should be the guardians of the honest and simple—these have at last worked out their inevitable result. The indignation of the public is roused. The confidence of the public is gone.”

Indianapolis dispatches are to, the effect that the second week of the Indiana Exposition closed in a blaze of glory. The attendance. throughout the week was mueh larger than was anticipated, ranging to nearly or quite 100,000. A still larger crowd is expected hereafter, as the live-stock exhibition opened on Monday evening, continuing through the remainder of- the Exposition. two weeks. A large number of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, and poultryal ready have azrived. The show,will excel any similar exhibition heretofore held in' the State. The enterprise, so far, is a gratifying success, being the first State Exposition ever held. K The result is watched with much ‘interest. The managers appear to have no fear as to the final result. | y

Ft. Wayne dispatches state that a few miles from Huntertown (on. the Grand Rapids railroad) a few days " since, Miss Long, a daughter of David Long, a farmer, was brutally outraged " by two men. They came to the house ~ alone and asked for a drink of water, and then, under threats of taking her life, and brandishing a dirk-knife before her, outraged her person, one of them watching while the other performed the hellish act. Both villains then left, leaving the girl nearly dead. The ngmunity is thoroughly aroused, and, if the villains are captured, the ¢ neighbors swear they will hang them to the nearest tree, without Judge or jury. The girl says she fs able ito identify them. o

The yellow fever still rages at Shreveport, and the demand’ for assistance from there is still urgent and imperative. It is somewhat alarming also to note the spread of the fever in localities hitherto unvisited by it. From Pensacola it has gradully asgended the railroad, afflicting all the stations between that town and Pollard, near the junction of the Pensacola and Louisville and Mobile and Montgomery roads. At the junction its ravages are said to be especially severe—proportionately as . at Shreveport—and the people along ‘the line of these roads are fleeing in dismay from the infected region.

‘There were twenty-two yellow fever interments in Memphis on Saturday; the total number for the week was 98, against 128 for the week previous.

OUR COUNTY FAIR. 1 Numerous Entries—Large Attendance | ~ —A Decided Success. ! For some time past the “coming Fair” had been the great topic of conversation, not. only among the citizens of Ligonier but throughout the county. Many had been for days and weeks busily engaged in preparing articles for exhibition, and all were anxiously looking forward to the time and making arrangements to attend. The intérest spread even beyond the limits of our own county, as was fully attested by the erowds of visitors and numerous entries from neighboring counties. The weather was a little disagreeable on the first day, in consequence of which comparatively few articles were brought in, althoughentries were made of many others which were placed on exhibition the next day. The second day was more pleasant, the rains having laid the dust and cooled the air. The weather was fine during the remaining two: days. There were several showers, but, fortunately for all interested, they came in the night, leaving the days clear, bright and salubrious. The Fair, after the first day, was largely attended throughout and proved to the Society a grand financial success. There were more entries and the receipts larger by several h_undred doll Jars than those of any previous year, amounting in the aggregate to $1,370. This will'enable the Society to make some valuable improvements on their ‘ grounds and to offer more and larger i premiums hereafter, which is all that is required to make our county Fairs even more successful in the future than they have ever been in the past. MACHINERY AND FARM IMPLEMENTS.

'~ This department was well represented, there being a good exhibition of machinery and farm implements of both foreign and home mauufacture. The first premium was awarded Messrs. Gerber, Treash & Kriechbaum, of the Ligonier Plow Works, on two plows of their own manufacture, one a stubble plow and the other a double shovel plow. We are truly glad to see this enterprising firm meet with such merited success. Of reapers and mowers, the Kirby and Champion, exhibited by A. S. Fisher, were awarded first premtiums. Several other agricultural implements presided over by Mr. Fisher bore the mark of approbation from the awarding committee.— Messts. J. M. Chapman & Co. displayed the Buckeye reaper, with dropper attachment, and a good line of other machinery and impleménts, but which we are informed were not entered for premiums. The Champion Fruit Dryer, manufactured by Mr. D. Stutzman, near this place, was an object of much interest in this department, and one which seems admirably adapted to its purpose. It is scarcely necessary to say this invention met wieh general approbation and that the. “little ribbon” made it still more attractivelin the eyes of Mr. S. The Combined Fanning Mill and grain and seed Separator, manufactured and exhibited by Wright & Hogaboam, of Hudson, Mich., received the first premium.— James Hall’'s Wind-Mill Pump, manufactured on the Hawpatch and put on exhibition by that gentleman, was bojth in point of interest and practical utility the most attractive and impottant piece of miachinery to be seen on the grounds, ever extending its hospitalities, without money and without price, to all who were in need of its bounties. Man and beast, young and old, rich and poor, all, came and went away refreshed, each bearing glad testimony to the value of the invention and declaring the inventor to be a public benefactor. Mr. Hall exhibited two mills —of different construction—one of which was drawihg water from awell into a large tank and furnished a constant supply for drinking purposes and the watering of stock during the Fair. Qf course Mr. Hall carried, away a red ribbon and none doubted his right to do so. '

. FARM PRODUCTS. This departm’eﬁt was but poorly represented and/did not: come up to the ‘usual standard. Further. than a few stalks of very tall corn, two mammoth pumpkins, several samples of grain, a few varieties of potatoes and other vegetables, there was little here to attract special attention. Without stopping to particularize further in this department, suffice it to sdy that, al‘though there were some very good samples of grain, fruits and vegetables, the exhibition here was quite meagre, showing plainly that the tiller of the soil was not properly enlisted in the Fair. We are at a loss to account for this seeming lack of interest on the part of the very class of men who ought to be most concerned about the success of these annual agricultural gatherings, which, unler proper regulations, should be the source of more real benefit to the farmer than to any other class of individuals. The Fair ought to be the farmers’ annual council, where they meet to exhibit products, to compare notes of observation and discuss the various topics belonging to this great branch of industry from which nations are fed and clothed—in other words, whej/re each might tell his experience and all grow wisér. Thus regarded, it would be to them an immense school of practical information, returning a better profit for the time and expense than ‘could be ‘derived from any other source. We hope the Society will take this matter under consideration and before next year’s Fair devise some means to secure th‘q hearty co-opera-tion of the farmer. Would it not be well to offer some special inducements i —more and better premiums if necespary—to secure this end? At least let some effort be made. | ' FLORAL HALL., a

This building seemed to bethe great central attraction to all who attended the Fair and was constantly thronged from early in the morning till almost dark. This was the ladies’ department proper, and it was indeed, a fitting monument to their, talent, taste, energy, industry and skill. * And the

constant throng of visitors to this department showed how well their efforts were appreciated. Here were to be-seen a great variety of objects, so great in fact that the visitor after having passed through was tempted to turn and come again and again, and at each successive visit saw something new to attract attention and demand especial admiration. The ‘Hall was capacious and tastefully ar--ranged, with three large tables—one in the center and one at either end—built in the form of\pyrami(i)s, upon which were displayed chiefly: articles of domestic manufacture—fine needle work, rich embroide‘ry, ladies’ and children’s clothing, ete. Of these articles there was such an immense variety that we dare not attempt a description, for each table contained sufficient to fill a eolumn with the briefest possible mention. However, we cannot pass without calling attention to a few articles which were especially attractive. Among these, many fine specimens of embroidery, zephyr fabrics, exquisite needle-work, and a great variety of other articles, all of which did credit to the persons exhibiting them. On éntering the Hall and passing to the right our attention was first called to a fine collection of flowers, plants, bouquets, ete., tastefully arranged. lln the corner was a miniature fish’ pond, in the waters of which were playing real specimens of the finny tribe and their gambols were displaved in asmirror above the water. The banks were lined with moss, flowers and shrubbery. The credit for this little attraction is due to the taste and skill of Mrs. D. S. Scott. Passing this we were in the midst of a choice collection of paintings, di'awings, and various designs of art; among them some very fine specimens of paintings by Mrs. J. M. Chapman, Mrs. Kime, and others, which betrayed superior talent and not a little skill. A ‘pencil portrait by Mrs. D. I. Reynolds was considerably admired. We heard several persons wish they “could do that” A Phantom bouquet by Mrs. Kine, a. handsone feather wreath by Miss Tlarper, a case of bntterflies and other 'ixxsgét§, and .some beautifu] wax and zephyr flowers, were objects of special interest to visitors. - Clapp, Fisher & Zimmerman, proprietors of the Magnet Woolen Mills at Rome City, had on exhibition a great many fabries of their own manufacture, whiech our citizeis not only examined with manifest interest. but éeemed,to take great pride in peinting out to 6 visitors as articles of home manufacture. These goods deserve more than a passing notice, but in this connection we can do -nothing more than réiterate the senti--'me.l}t of all who examined them and pron()uﬁcev_theln “excellent.” There ismo longer any need of importing articles that are manufactured by the Magnet. Mills, for we_are convinced that as good, if not superior, fabrics may be had there. Here, too, were quilts, carpets and many other articles of domestic manufacture which, although the visitor could not p:iss unnoticed, are too numerous to admit of a description. On ‘one of the tables, near the case of milinery goods exhibited by Mrs. Radabaugh, was a collection of artificial birds and animals, the property of Mrs. Phoebe Harris, a lady who has almost reached her three score years and ten. ’,l‘_hore' WEere peafowls, tiny humming birds, owls, chickens and dueks; elephants, kittens and many more—in fact an _artificial menagerie. We stood in wonder and -admiration. We thought what untiring industry, time, patience and skill were represented in that little box of curiosities. We heard one man offer to bet “the old lady had her specs on when she made those things” We were now near the ré.a*r of the building and passing forward along the south side. Here we found a good display of fr°uits—~apples, pears, peaches and | grapes. Also, canned fruits in great variety, bread, butter, sweetmeats, &e. But the sweetest thing there, and a “sight to -delight in,” was 'the suberh display of honey by Mr. A. G. Hill, of Kendallville. Ie exhibited a ease of Italian bees and one hundred pounds of nice, clean honey. from a single stock; also some Dbeautiful canned honey. No matter how often we called, our genial friend, A.G., was at his post passing out his “letters of recon, mendation” tobee keepers, and ready to give any information desired concerning the industrious family over | which he presided. The red ribbon was cheerfully awarded.’[ But we must not tarry. .As we passed toward the door we were again compelled to stop and admire a rare collection of, house plants, owned by Mrs. A. 8. Fisher. There Weré.se\feral large and beautiful specimens of cactus, one of which was in full bloom, geraniums, an ole- | ander, and many other-choice plants, | with some of which we were not famil- , iar and did not%learn their names. It is but just to say that this was a fine collection and added greatly to the atI tractions of Floral Hall. !

MUSIC HALL. : - Another place of considerable inter- ' est was the “music hall.” Here we [ found a display of sewing machines, ' several organs and plenty of music. This department was not without its crowds of visitors, though many came and lingered, as they said, “to get the benefit of the free concert,” for there was always somebody present who jwa;'nted to “try the tone” of an instru--ment and was not afraid to let folks hear them sing. Thus the music was kept up the whole day long. The first premium confirmed J. H. Hoffman’s conceit in his Estey, f411‘1;1’ the second was captured by Mr. Preston with the Plebout & Pelton. © The Packard and several other lprgam’k%; were on exhibition, but some of them, we are told, were not entered for premiums. The Howe sewing machine, exhibited by Isbell Brothers, triumphantly bdre off ‘ the palm, the awarding committee granting to it several points of superiority which were eldimed and practically demonstrated by its skillful operator, te?L H. Jones got the “blue,” to decorate’ his victorious Vietor, J. w. %ﬁbqtham,had on exhibitionl the Wheeler & Wilson. T

STOCK DEPARTMENT| : The number of entries and grade of stock on exhibition compared favorably, we believe, with that of other years, though we are inclined to the opinion that some of the classes might have been better represented if stock raisers had made a little more effort in this direction. Sack Brothers had the best display of Berkshire hogs and received premiums in several classes. A. Jackson, Esq., John Prough and B. F. Clark also exhibited; good stock and shared honors from; the awarding committee. There w’agmtber an inferior showing of sheep, Messrs. W. &J. N. Latta taking the awards. Of cattle there was a fair exhibition, A. Kinnison having the best display and taking honors in‘several classes. Jno. Prough received the second premium on a large Devon bull, a Durham bull owned by Mr, Kihnison taking the first. in 'the same class. O.Kimmel also had a fine lot of graded cattle and shared liberally in the honors. J. C. Engle received the highest award on work cattle. About the usual number of horses were entered for premiums in the various departments, as will be seen by reference to the list of premiums, to be published next week. ' No awards were given on thoroughbreds. . e

_ BUGGIES. @ - e This del‘):x,rtr'nent was fairly supplied, but no work from the shops of our own county was on exhibition, and, with the exception of ‘a Studebaker wagon exhibited by J. M. Chapman & Co., and the Coquillard wagon by J. Weir, none of our home dealers were represented here. This looks a little slack in ‘:L‘cciunty‘ having several good carriage shops. Messrs. Moon' & Co., of Lagrange, with a hahdsome display of fine open and top buggies carried off the ribbons. A patent mud fender attached tol one of their fine carriages attracted :L)good deal of attention and met with general approval. Two GoF sheu shops—that of A. Tottinger anfl tljfe old veteran shop of Adam 'lfeakgﬁ. —exhibited a good linie of buggies and carriages from their respective shops. Their work is such as will bear inspection, and these gentlemen know the advantages of county fairs as a meéas of bringing it into ‘publie noticel f / .

;I‘HE MOI\IEY P.‘}_NlC. - Developments During the Week. - -~ In ‘Ql‘d(‘]" to keep our readers posted with regard to the events in '1"111:111_531'&1 circles, since our lastissue, we will endeavor to present in the following a review of the finaneial situation, the suspension of banking institutions, and the effect which the erisis has produced upon trade and commerce, < THE srl‘lfAfl‘loS: ON WEDNESDAY. The New York banks held a meet-ing-early in the day, and resolved to make -a further issue of loan certificates to the amount of $10,000,000; to ask the Secretary of the Freasury to anticipate the redemption of bonds coming due Jan. 1, 1874; and to stop paying large checks except through the Clearing-House. THNe last resolution was at first construed as a virtual suspension on the part of the banks, and produced ;I.ll»‘unfar;vomblé feeling; but later in the day it was conceded to be 'a wise precaution, as tending still further to economize the use of greenbacks, while satisfying all tle demands of a condition of so‘lvcncy{-—, Checks of manufacturers and others having to meet pay-rolls of exployes were paid in greenbacks as uSnal. In this way the day was bridged over without any _bank failure, although the private firm -of Howes, & Marcyj failed to open their doors. , This is-one Q’f the largest banking firms in New York. ‘lt is believed that their suspension will. be only temporary. In the afternoon a much better feeling existed both in monetary, and trade circles, and the impression prevailed that the panic was over. 41‘1;@ only financial trouble abroad is the suspension of the firm of Clews, Habicht & Co., London, and that of a private banking house in Berlin, - '

ON TIIURSDAY THE EXCITEMENT was/ renewed by the sßnsational announeement that all ¢he banks in Chicago had resolved to, close their doors and suspend business. This falsehood (promulgated by that vile sheet, the Chicago Times) produced a temporary panie, both in Cliicago and elsewhere; but when the hour came for opening their doars, and it was found that they wcge all transacting their business as usial, and that no excessive demands were'made upon them by depositors, the usual course of things was resumed in business circles.. The day closed withoutgfany symptonis of a pdnic, although great anxie-fy was felt to obtain news from other parts of the country. On the Board of Trade a rather buoyant feeling prevailed in consequence of the arrival of purchasers from the East and-from Canada, with supplies of eurijency; to take advantage of the low prices of grain.— At the Union Stock-Yards, however, it was found impossible to receive any more cattle, the ‘yzu'dsi being already full and no buyers to take aiway the existing stock. . ¢

| In New York the day passed off !Quietly: A feeling prevailed that a general suspension of thé banks would l be necessary, and a rumor prevailed that the Secretary of the Treasury had. * advisett: that course. This rumor, “however, was authoritatively contradicted, the Secretary declining to advise the banks in any way. It transpired that the Sub-Treasury in New York had disbursed $25,000,000 in greenbacks in the purchase of bonds, and that a portion of this had come out of the so-called reserve.of $44,000,000. At this point the purchase of bonds was stopped. It was also learned that a large amount of bonds ‘were in transitu from country banks to New York for| conversion into greenbacks, which, of course, cannot ' now be sold. The difieulty of getting currency has caused a blockade of the breadstuffs, provisions, and cotton trades in New York, ‘Nevertheless, large shipments of currency were made to the South and West ‘by the various. express lines. co T e

The banks of Baltimore, Cincinnati, § St. Louis, New Orieang; and several | other cities have followed the action of the New York banks, and are only paying out currency to meet the actual necessities of customers. The onlyplace where anything like a panic oc- \ curred was at Memphis, where three ! banks closed their doors. The Boston | banks met and resolved that there was nothing in the situation calling for any change in their usual mode of doing business. i | G ON FRIDAY, CHICAGO i was a%ain the theater of excitement. Five National Banks—the Union National, Cook County National, Second National, Manufacurer’s National, and National Bank of Commerce—suspended business. The Union National is iunong the most extensive institutions of Chicago. “The National Banks all over the country have generally been able to maintain themselves thus far upon thé rule adopted by the New York banks. From New York and Boston there comes the assurance that the banks' are able to ‘ sustain themselves. In both: these cities, as elsewhere, the banks are able to accommodate their despositors with lsuﬁicient currency to enable them to carry on tlreir business. The mercani tile classes do not seem to have been thus far affected, and have been able ito nieet all their obligations as they Jnatured. Depositsare still made in ‘ all the banks. That there’ lias been/a | withdrawal of currency for the purpose of hoarding it in private safes is obvious; but if the banks continue to ,gmeet the requirements of their customers a few days longer, most of this “hdarding currency will come forth. The receipts of currency in Chicago, “and other western cities by express' are large. The country inust have the breadstuffs and the provisions which are packed in western warehouses and stock-yards, and to get ‘them'the money must be there. At this moment, the most available capital in the country is grain and provisions. These just now constitute the . circwlating wealth of the country.

ON SATURDAY THE IMPROVEMENT in financial circles seemed to be general. In New York and other large cities the absence of anything like excitement was the subject of general comment and congratulation. Shipments of grain abroad have recommenced, the difficulties of £ k)l‘(-ign exchange having been obviated: The Produce and Gold Exchanges have resumed business without difficulty, and tle present feeling is that business generally will be renewed under good auspices. . Howes & Macy have practically resumed their business. Clews & Co. say that they will do so_before the statement of their affairs is ready for publication. Fisk & Hatch will resume as soon as they have cleared away their indebtedness. Even Jay Cooke & Co. promise to begin again soon, but nobody believes they will ever emerge from under the load of Northern Pacitic bonds. In Washington, a number of banks and bankers have formed an 'association for the purpose of giving general acceptance to certified checks, to be issued to depositors in place of currency heretofore deposited. TFuture deposits of currency will be treated as. before.— President Grant makes public his views of the situation and the remédy in a letter to a New York drygoods merchant. The banks, he says, z}ré now strong enough, in view of the withdrawal of their deposits from the Treasury and the Government 'issue of 1 $14,000,000 of greenbacks in the purchase of bonds, to adept a general system of liberal discounts which will sustain: the business interests of the country. Without such co-operation the Government ¢an do nothing; with it, the Administration is willing to go still further, and the President binds himself to hold the 'forty-four millions of reserve greenbacks as “money in the Treasury,” to be used for the public good as the public necessity may require. As a further means of relief, the President has ordered the prepayment of the November interest.

‘ MONDAY OPENED BRIGHTLY in the city of Chicago. Four and a half million dollars in currency were received from Saturday to Monday, causing an active market for grain, and the price of wheat advancing 4 to b cents per bushel. Corn advanced 2 cents, and oats 124 cent. There was no pereeptible run on any of the banks, but there was a hedvy drain on the Union National, which decided the Directors of that institution to give up the fight and ‘go into voluntary liquidation. Except this untoward circumstance, the day was altogether the most cheering that Chicago had seen since the incendiary and false announcement was made last week that all her banks had resolved to close their places. Reports from commercial circles in ‘the East Were‘ not of a cheering character. Philadelphia dis- | patehes announced the failure of Benjamin Bullock’s Sons, wool dealers, as 'a consequence of the failure of the Glenham Manufacturing Company, of Dutchess county, N. Y. ;. also the failure of two factories (business not stated) in Kensington, Disston and Co., saw manufacturers, of Philadelphia, have reducsd their works to two-thirds time. From Boston it is reported that the Waltham and Howard Watch Companies have been compelled to discharge a large number: of their workmen, from inability to get currency to pay their wages. A large dry-goods house in New York has offered to discount 2 per cent. per month from the maturing paper of their customers, for immediate payment.— Washington dispatches state that Senator Morton thinks an extra session of Congress should be called forthwith. 1

« THE NEWS OF TUESDAY does not materially change the situation. .The suspension of the Union National Bank of Chicago is regarded the worst feature so far as financial matters in Chicago are concerned. Three million dollars in currency were receivd in Chicago, the produce market is growing in activity, and the banks generally pippear to be able to meet their liabl ities. i :
