THE REPUBLICAN.

A Financial Suecess.

The Jasper County Fair,'held last week, did not prove a failure from a financial point of view. A .sudden change in the weather, Wednesday night, from the extreme heat which had Been prevailing, to a reasonable temperature, had a very favorable effect upon*the attendance during the last two days. As is usually the case, Thursday was the principal day of the fair; and upon thht day tfce number of ickets sold was--167: on Friday, the number was 11111. The attendance on Wednesday did hot readi 100. ’ln the matter cf exhibits, the fair was reasonably good in some departments, and exceedingly poor in others. The •exhibits of all kinds of live stock were very meager, in every thing except horses, and in that division many line animals wei*e in the stalls. What cattle, hogs and sheep that were shown ere good enough, but there were altogether too few of them, The poultry show was large and tine, as has been the case for several years: but in point of extent, at least, the chicken show was not quite equal to that of last year, if our memory serves us right, but we are not prepared to say whether the quality of fowls ehiblted this ytttr were better or worse than last yeftr. In ■Floral Hall the exhibits of farm and gsrden'products was gbbd. In the ’Ladies' departments the fair was more completely a success, than in any others. The show of fiifc'needle work, and other articles ot decorative art was exceptionally large and beautiful, while in the lines of household ' art, the display Avas also large and excellent. A considerable number of race horses were present, but none of the racefc, ex cept the running races, appear to have created much enthusiasm. At the single dash, on Thursday, Reynold's “Geo. L.” took first money and Blanchfill’s “Revertie” th§ second •feioney. —At the best two in three on Friday, ‘Wven’s “Loupe” was dirst, “Geo.-L.” second, and “Revertie, third.

Battles and Leaders of the Civil War.

Under this title The Cenitry will begin with the November number of the present year, and continue without intermission (if ndssible’), a series of separate papers, the bb jeet of which is to set forth, incleitr and graphic n anner, the life atd spirit of the most important of modern military conflicts—the Wnr Tor the Union. The main portion of the schenfe will be papers of a popufer character on the great engagements of the war, by general officers command at the time, either upon the Union or Confederate side. In mrr.B*’ instances the contributor will be the officer cf first command, and in every irrstance a participant in the en.gagements under consideration. Tor instance, the battles of Shiloh and Vicksburg will be described by General U. S. Grant, who will contribute four papers to the series: General Rosecrans, of Stone River, etc., etc. The Passage of the Forts below New Orleans will be described by Admiral Porter, and the Western Gunboat Service hv Rear Admiral Walke, and the fight between the Monitor and the Merriituie by Colonel John laylor Wood, the senior survivofficer of the latter vessel. Other prominent Confederate generals nave engaged to contribute, and some of these contributions will be hardly less notable than those above mentioned. In several instances briefer supplementary papers will chronicle special incidents or consider special phases of an engagement. Personal reminiscences of several of the most prominent military ieadets, now dead,* will also

give variety to the scheme. The foregoing contributions will all be by general officers, or. in three or i tour instances, by stall-officers, Jtnd ' will represent war as it appeared from beau< |nailers. In conjunction with ; them will appear, from time to time a ; number of briefer sketches, entitled, I “Recollections of a Private, ’ r< fleciiu<’’. • jwiih_ interesting and iife-lil e details, I tl'hexperiences of the common soldier from the time of enlistment to the muster-out: the. drill, the march, tie bivouac. t..e skirmish, the, charge, tlie pursuit, the retreat..etc., etc. Aoxili'iry tranches of the service will also be i ttpated_iirthis supplementary way. Ihe iL ustrations of the scheme will • receive the most careful attention, and ! in this particular it is thought that the 1 •series will possess an unequaled historical interest. The Centi i.y ha- at its i disposal a very large qutiptitv of maps.! and plans, portraits of genei'.tl oftuers ' of botu sides, .authentic paiu'ii gs and drawings, and especially photographs of camp scene--, battle-fields, famous •localities, etc., etc., etc. A s rict regard for accuracy will guide the preparation of the illustrations, and where composition pjpfUfeS ’are des table, the details will be ‘care:uily stud,ed fiom eye-witnesses am! the best records, ami. where practicable, from nature.' with the aim ot avoiding so-called • fancy“ scenes. Having the aid of ’ suck res urccsof pea and pencil, the conduciois of the magazine feel a ifetisonable coiifiden e that this publication—perhaps the most imj ortant and considerable enterprise ever undertaken bytlierc- -wi 1 possess not only a graphite and personal idler-' test (setting forth the color as well as the form of the great battles,) but also a historical Value not easily to be calcnlate'd. The aim is to present, not official repents, but memoirs —uo Jess autbontatiVe (though, of necessity, less minute) in strategy and tactics, but laying mote stress upon the human Mail heroic aspects of the gi eat conflict.

A Justifiable Homicide.

Otfr respected townsman, F. j. Sears'Yeturned last Saturday from a hurried trip to Durango, Colorado, whether he had been called by a lamentable affair which resulted in the death of a man at the hands of Mr. Sears’ son, William E. Sears; The story of the occurence, briefly told, is about as follows: Young Sears, who is the seme genial, pleasant young man in Colorado, as the people of Rensselaer knew him so long, has been engaged in the drug business at Animas City J a place immediately adjoining Durango. On July 25th be asked William Solomon, a general hard character and typical western rough to settle an account at the drug store. Solomon had been drinking and was quarrelsome and at once sought to pick a quarrel with Sears 'Hie latter did not wish to have trouble and went into his store, Solomon followed him in and began abusin g him in asba in eful in aimer, and Mr. Sears’ wife, hearing the noise, and coming room, she too was insulted in the grossest manner. Sears then insisted that Solomon must leave the house, and taking a, revolver in his left hand, he took 'hold of Solomon with his right and forced him thro ugh the doors. He then tried to close the doors, and had succeeded in elosing one of the two double doors vhen Solomon reached through the door and grasped him by the clothing and began pulling him out of the house. He even seized hold of the pistol in Sears’ hand and did succeed in getting possession of it, but during the struggle the Weapon was discharged and the bullet passed through the lower portion Of the ruffian’s heart.

Sears claims that he had no desire or intention to shoot the man and that the weapon was discharged accidentally. Strange as it may seem the bullet did not have such an immediate effect upon Solomon but that he was able to beat aud injure Mr. Sears, very seriously, upon the head with the pistol, and had not the latter’s wife come to his assistance he’ would probably have been killed. She pulled Solomon off from her husband, and in a few seconds the former fell down and expired. Sears was arrested and after a preliminary examination- was released on bail, but as the roughs of the place were making violent! threats of revenging the death of 1 one of their number he was placed in j ail for his own safty. lie has the sympathy of all the better portion of the community, and when his case comes to trial will, without doubt, be fully exonerated. The grand jury which will first t consider the case will not meet until November. William Solomon, the man who was killed, was a large, powerful man, about 28 or 30 years old, and a professional rough, and his death was probably a blessing to the commilnitv. *
