‘rEY i i 3 o "The Farm and Household. T T e e eeirmecn . County 'E;.é.irs. o Our County Fairs as at present con-' ducted are voted a nuisance ‘by the more intelligent, better educated class of fam‘)_ers, for whose benefit they are pretended to be gotten up. They have become a receptacle of all the monstrosities that men too lazy to work can find without too much labor, or ingenious scoundrels can invent; a home for the “wandering 'Jew” or Arab - horseman, who travels from Fair to Fair and swoops up by far the larger proportion of the hard-earned jnoney paid in by the farmer for premiums and meant to be dispersed for his good while it is proving to be for his evil; a resort for gamblers and cheats of every description. All this refuse and scum seem to consider the farmer and his money their legitimate prey. It is their harvest. They, one and.all, should be banished from the Fair ground and its vicinity. _The average American and all below him seem’' to have a periodical "h:mke‘fing" after excitement, and the Fnir,‘ as at present conducted, seems to cater to this, the lowest part of our natures, tending to level us down rather than up. ! :

This was not the intention of the originators Qf the farmers’ Fair. They thought and hoped all farmers interested in their calling would ennoble it by a social gathering and interchange of views on all their varied fields of labor. The best methods of (rult'ivuting{ the various products of the soil, the different soils and the different methods to be adopted in cultivati"ng them, the best breeds of animals raised on farms for all purposes, each and, every one could be discussed to the evident benefit of all participating. All this seems to have been gradually lost sight of, and in its stead we have the jockeyed horse race rules. A committeeman even will drop the worlt in hand when he hears the word “go!” and he seems.to he listening for it. ‘ s The better class of farmers either stay at home- or are mere lookers-on. Tt called upon to assist when present, they either excuse themselves or take a languid, uninterested part. : ; This should not be so. These are the very men who, though they - are for the “things that make for peace” and stand back in consequencé, should be determined that their class are not to be made -the instruments in the hands of designing men to their own hurt. They could resolve, and put that resolution into practice, that what ought not to be shouldnot be, and, having done this first, could say. what should be done to bring back the Fair to its former purpose and standing. They should adopt stringent rules as to the character and ability of | its officers and directors, re-arrange the premium list, give larger premiwms and more in number to the same class on everything belonging strictly to the farmer’s work and give a reasonable, stipulated sum per -mile, to those living at a distance, for everything brought worthy of reward. Time and experience would suggest other improvéments on the old system and lift up our Fairs gradually and finally out of “the Slough of Despond” into which they have fallen. There is no better time to make these strictures and, commence ‘the needed improvements than now, after our Fair (successful in a pecuniary sense), which is just past. R.

- MAKING WINE FROM GRAPES. To the many inquiries we have reciived about this time of the year as to the best mode of making grape wine, we have:on former occasions replied by publishing thre European mode of manufacture. ¥ That“was all we could do then, and ¢an do no more now; but it is useless to- repeat this, as the mode there will prove unsuccessful here, we mean in Pennsylvania and everywhere else north of us. Indeed there is but little wine made in any part of 'thi?country as it is in France, Germanyy Spain, ete., except in California and at southwestern jpoints at a much lower latitude than here. Buta so-called wine is manufactured from grape juice after the fashion of currant wine, which is sometimes very agreeable. The grapes should be picked when perfectly ripe, on a dry day, all the unripe, decayed and imperfect-berries being discarded. Crush them in a small press (not too severely), if one is at hand, or it can be done by the hand in a large tube; let the ‘'mass remain in this state for forty-eight hours; then strain off carefully; add two ‘quarts of soft water to one of juice; put in a thoroughly cleansed keg or ‘barrel, sa that the vessel is full, leaviing off t)he bung, in order that fermentation may have vent and throw out the impurities ; fill jup with reserv(f"(lljil’lice.‘t() keep the! vessel always ull. ! :

At the end of two or three weeks, ‘when the first fermentption is over, rack off, drawing the liquor carefully off by keeping it constantly running, and removing into a scalded out tub; then seald out the vessel again and return the liquor, leaving the hune rather loosly in its place, for the sec- | ond fermentatioy. When that is over, bung up tightly fand let it remain for at least six months, or altogether, using as it may be avanted. It is hetter if racked off ‘at the end of six months or longer, and put into from two to five gallon demijohns, though the usual bottles will answer very well. We have kept currant wine in a ten gallon keg for six years with safety, though we would not advise it to be continued in wood longer than four years.

.To what lengths the money value of blooded stock' will run no one may venture to predict. When ten cows and heifers. sell for an average price of $21,700, the value of diamonds ceases to be a wonder, At Utica, New York, on the 10th ult. the Mill_herd of 111 short horn cattle was sold at auction for the aggregate sum of $380,890.— ‘There were present at this sale as buyers gentlemen, or their agents, from England and from various parts of the United States. The prices are , out of all proportion to either cost or value. But men of great fortunes are as ambitious to excel each other in the quality of finely gred stock as their i wives are in regard to dresses and jewelry. It is a harmless diversion. But the common farmer should remember that while fancy' is folly, a food strain of blood has money in it all the time at reasonable cost for praetical

A VERY FISHY STORY. Discovery of the Remains of a Revolutionary Veteran. [Copied, by request of Mrs. Sarah F Long, from ° the Miami County (0.) Democrat.] Without occupying much of your valuable space, I begleave to detail an incident connected with the terrible hurricane that passed over the Miami ‘Valley on the evening of the “glorious Fourth.? = - : : : On the wellknown “old Anderson Farm,” whose’ fertile acres extend to the banks of the historic Miami, stands, or rather stood, a fine oak grove. A fortnight since the majestic trees stood erect and intact, but now two-thirds of them are lying on the ground, hurled down by the relentless fury of the last great storm. Little did the storm demon think when he set out upon his mission. of destruction that he was destined to rob a tree of a secret which it has scrupulously kept for eighty-two years. I have the facts of this storm incident from the own lips of Mr. — Rogers, the present' occupant of the farm referred to, and a man of proverbial veracity. : , i Upon the moining (Saturday) Mr. Rogers, 'in company with a “hired man,” proceeded o inquire into the extent of the damage inflicted upon his premises, and' the first objective point was the ruined grove. The center tree of the plat was a noble-oak, the king over his fellows, and a tree which had stood the ravages of time seemingly unscathed for several centuries. . This tree had ﬁeen snapped and felled by the storm. Upon examining the fallen giant for the purpose of ascertaining its worth as rail timber Mr. R. made a startling discovery. This was nothing less than the fact that the tree in falling had digorged a skeleton! :

‘The bones were. disconnected, yellow as gold with age, and scattered promiscuously over several square feet of pasturage. The skull was almost intact; all the teeth save two—molars —were still in their places, and there was a scar on the left parietal bone which looked like the momento of some fierce cavalry charge. . The humerus of the arm’' was shattereg, and save the three defects just mentioned the skeleton when put together was without blemish. The tree in falling, I should have mentioned, was rent asunder—a task not difficult of accomplishment when I yefer to the fact that an examined tion found that at some remote date the very heart of the oak had been cleft by lightning. From aspottwenty feet from the ground upward to the first great fork—a distance of ten feet —a hollow extended, and from this cayity the skeleton had been hurled.— “If we but knew who he was,” thought my informant, Mr. R.,’and, strange to say, a few minutes later the twain discovered that the tree had also disgorged a thrilling history. ' An old-fashioned leathern pocket or memorandum book lay in a remarkable state of preservation—which no doubt had been dropped into the rent'made by the lightning, and thus been preserved while its master decayed. A few brass buttons of old and unique pattern were found near the memorandum, but it is with the latter that we have to deal. This old leather purse—entirely moneyless—contained sundry papers covered with rude pencilings quite difficult to trace, as they were written on theé backs of army passes and military consignments which dated as far back as 1776. Mr. Rogers conveyed the bones to his house, and set about to read the memorandum of the captive of the tree.. But owing to his failing eyesight, he could decipher but little and this little a conglomerate mass of disconnéctions. But still he read enough to learn that the eyes that once shone in the now orbless sockets -often looked upon Washington in the heat of battle, and amid the snows of Valley Forge; and the skeleton arms - when covered with flesh and muscle ‘had struck many stalwart blows for our country. The man’s name as gathered from the papers was Roger Vanderberg, a native of Lancaster,” Pennsylvania, and a Captain in the Revolutibnary Army. He was an Aid to Washington during the retreat across the Jerseys, and served a time in Arnold’s head-quarters at West Point. In 1791 he marched with St. Clair against the north-western Indians, and in the famous outbreak of that General on the Wabash, November 3d, of ‘the year just written, he was wounded and captured. But while being conveyed to the Indian town at. Upper Piqua—a historical place well known to your readers—he effected his escape, but found himself hard pressed by his savage foes. . : He saw the hollow in the oak, and despite the mangled arm, and -with the aid of a beech that grew beside the giant then, he gained the haven and dropped therein. Then: came a fearful discovery. He had miscalculated the depth of the hollow and there was no escape. O, the story told by the oak’s despairing' pioneer! How rather than surrender to the torture of the stake he chose death by stary--ation; how he wrote his diary in the ‘uncertain light and the snows! - :

Here is one entry in the diary: “Nov. 10.—Five days without food’ When I sleep I dream of luscious fruits and flowing streams. The stars laugh at my misery! It is snowing now. I freeze while I _starve. God pity me!” The italicized words were supplied by Mr. Rogers, as the trembling hand oft-times refused to indite plainly. Never was such a record of suffering traced by human hand before.— The entries cover a period of eleven ‘days, and in, disjointed sentences is told the story of St. Clair's defeat,— The diary is to be:placed in my hands, and. with your permission I will transcribe it for your columns. Mr. Rogers has written to Lancaster to ascertain if any descendants of the ill-“ated Captain live ;if'so, they shall have his bones. ’ Such, Mr. Editor, is one of the freaks of the late storm, perpetrated in our own county. How little dreamed we that so near us has been imprisoned for eighty-two years one of the Revolution. Often "the starveling heard his red foes at the foot. of his prison but he would not hail them, anq perished at last with a prayer heard only by Him to whom it was directeq. If the descendants of Captain Vanderberg can not be discovered, I hope that there will be enough patriotism found in Miami County to erect a monument over his remains. The story of the diary will chill the hearts of all who read it, and meet the eye in sympathy for tlie noble soldier of his country. . 5

And now, Mr. Editor, thanking you for allowing me to trespass on .your generosity, I remain yours respectfully. * J.F. CLARKE. -

CURRENT STATE TOPICS. HOW THE BAXT]?:R LAW OPERATES ; down in Harrison county is told in these words by the Corydon Democrat : “There is more whisky sold in Corydon since the licenses of the grocery men have expired, than at any time before. We heard of one man selling ten kegs of whisky last week. The people drink it, and nobody is responsible for the sale of it, as no one has license. We have about come to the conclusion that the fight was made against the granting of license in order that intemperate men and minors could buy liquor. If license was taken out, these persons could not get it. As it:now is, they can buy it, and nobody is responsible.” ' | “FRIENDS OF ECONOMY,” as th')ey style themgelves, are trying to effect a political organization down in Harrison county. They held a c‘ox}vention last Saturday to which all persons “opposed to monopoly, extrayagance and corruption” wére invited. THE INDIANA EXPOSITION, or more popularly recognized as the State Fair, is described as a grand success. The editor of the Hartford City T'ribune (w“’ho, by the way, is a very intelligent gentleman), made a trip.to the Statq Capital to see what the Exposition amounts to. In his observations he enumerates that the buildings are on the State fair grounds in the northern part of the ‘city and are approached from the Union depot by a line of street cars” on Illinois street, the fare to the very door of the building being only ten cents. Innumerable hacks are also running to the grounds from all parts of the city, charging only ten cents. ' The, main building is a handsome and well .arranged brick structure, of immense proportions. It is divided into upper and lower departments on the first and second floors after the style of the building'at Cincinnati. * * No such ‘discomfort as attended an attempt to see anything at former State fairs is experienced in the well arranged and commodious halls . of the present exposition. Whatever financial success may attend the present management, we feel sure that the change will be appreciated by both exhibitors and visitors. ]

THE LARGEST RAILROAD SHOP IIN . THE WORLD, : so the Observer exultingly exclaims, is to be permanently and immovably located in the flourishing town of Elkhart. Twenty-two acres of gr(fund have just been deeded to the ILake Shore company, the entire space of which will be oceupied by the shops of that mammoth corporation. Five hundred feet will be added to the present machine shop, thus makin ga total length, including wings, of seventeen hundred feet. In addition to these improvements, a complete circle round house of fifty stalls are also marked down on the- programme.— “And now,” the Obgerver says, “when this mammoth concern, in and around which aredaily employed nine hundred men, and whose financial influence is happily felt in every business and private house throughout the entire country; whose round house and grounds are occupied every Sunday by a hundred locomotives and whosé monthly pay roll reaches the round sum of seventy thousand dollars, becomes too small for the wants of the company and additions are demanded; and other cities of untold wealth and vast ambition are clamoring for its removal and bidding for its location” —the grateful people.of Elkhart are called upon to tender thanks to Messrs. Philo Morehouse and J. MecXNaughton, to whom belongs the credit of having superinduced this amazing impetus to the future growth and prosperity of the “everlasting State of Elkhart.”

'~ OUR NEIGHBORS. MARSHALL COUNTY. The Bourbon postmaster, in order to test the capacity of a postal card succeeded sn writing 1,125 words on one, and then dispatched it toa friend in Ohio to test the capacity of his optics and patience in trying to decipher it. : —The - Democrat says:< Recorder Houghton is now working on a little evidence of indebtedness of Goe. J. Bippus, president, and L. P. Milligan secretary, Chicago and Atlantic railway company, to the Farmer’s Loan and Trust company, for the neat little sum of £1,400,000 —or abqut $7,000,000. The same evidence is in the form of first mortgage gold bonds on the said road. How it comes that a farmers’ company will loan money to a railroad monopoly we c¢annot arise to explain. Lo e i

: > DEKALB COUNTY. ~—The Press says: The removal of the gravel from the hill, occupied by the old cemetery, is uncovering the bodies interred there. A large number of those buried there have been removed to the new cemetery by friends. The few remaining are now being removed by the town authorities —The merchants of Waterloo, who have already bought their fall stocks, contracted their freights from New York direct at 34 cents per hundred pounds. Before the completion of the Saginaw road, says the I’-ress,coxi-tracts could only be made to Toledo, and the way freight from Toledo up was about the same as the through freight from New York to Toledo.— At present the rate to Toledo is 29 cents per hundred pounds. *

. : LAGRANGE COUNTY., —ln the course of his sermon, not long since, Rev. J. W. Welch, of Lagrange, made the remark that “many people pay no more respect to the stomach than they do to the slop-pail,” upon which the Standard comments thusly: “He could have went (gone) further, and said, not as much. Sloppails get pretty rough usage, but hardly any body will throw into them chemicals that would corrode and burn and destroy them. If they did, they would hastily empty them. Is not the human stomach of much more value than a swill-tub? O, ye rumsuckers and gluttons!” ; ' —The editor of the Standard very generously proposes to hire a livery and send a man out through the

county to tell the people what things are for sale, and who has them, the rates, &c., or send his paper containing the same information at the option of the dealer, and all. free of charge, as soon as horses, presses, ink, paper and labor cost nothing. ' ELKHART COUNTY. —John Long, the man who shot the Millersburg Constable last spring, has been found guilty by the Goshen Circuit Court and sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and rusticate in the Michigan City prison/ for theSpace of five years. —The Review says: “In accordance with a decree issued by Judge Oshorn, of the Circuit' Count,” Col. Tucker, County Auditor, has' delivered nine more liquor licenses than the county commisioners granted. This makes twelve persons here who have pocured licenses under the new liquor 'law. The lawyers’ fees in cases taken to the Circuit Court were $lOO in ‘each Instance, Making $9OO in all.” : —The T'imes says about fifty coopers are employed in Goshen, twentyfive of whom are at Usselman’s ghop, and balance at Angel’s, Shoup’s and Eckhart's. These merchanics have a Coopers’ Union in that place. : A Bristol lad of some 14 or 15 years by the name of Mercer became insane, a few ddys since, on the subject of religion.
