Additional Local News.

MB. SIDNEY D. TERKY, long connected with the citv department of the Cincinnati Enquirer, comes to this city to assumo control of the city department of the Evening New.t. The employment of Mr. Terry in this position will add much to the interest of that enterprising paper.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

It is characteristic of the News to have the best talent notwithstanding the price. That is what makes it so interesting and valuable.

JOE ERLANGER, having returned from the East with an endless variety and almost iuexhaustible quantity of merchant tuiloring gent's furnishing goods, is opening out the trade at his mammoth and elegant establishment in a style that is very flattering to himself and company, and entirely satisfactory to all who deal with them. When a man gets on one of the new and elegant fitting Baltimore shirts he is supremely happy, whether he has on anything else or not. Go to Erlanger's and try one of the coat-fitting shirts, and you will know, etc.

PKKSONAL.—Jerome C. Burnett has returned from the West, and is in the city, or was yesterday, though we were so crowded with fair items weoverlooked the announcement.

W. C. Miller, manager of the merchant tailoring of the mammoth establishment of Joe Erlanger & Co., is again in charge of that department, after two months absence at the St. Louis, Mich igan, Magnetic Springs, where he wa« laid up with a severe attack of the rheumatism. He is much improved, and luakes rapid daily strides along the high road to health, speaking enthusiastically of liis magnetic treatment.

NOT HAPPY ANY MORE.—A patent gate mau yesterday gave the Mail editor a suvere tongue lashingover our shoulder, for what the editor aforesaid had said about his patent gate, which Joe Blake tied the rocks to in order to balance it. We sat down and explained that we were not connected with the Mail. He .answered that he did not knot* but Uiat we were, and that he Syftttied that^ Mail editor to rectify thi Article he had written. Will the Mail man sit down and explain? The gate man is not happy *ny more, though he evidently has a fortune in his patent gate, if well worked up, as it looked to us that it might be a very ingenious and economical piece of mechanism.

THE editor of the Bath Advocate still persists in denominating hisplaceof business "printing parlors." Now whether he does this for the purpose of conveying an idoa of the nicety of nis rooms, or merely for the alliteration, we know not, neither is it any of our business. But we would Bimply suggest that it would be just as appropriate for a meat butcher to call bis back room a "sausage sanctum."—Dansville Advertiser.

Friend Bunnell keeps as neat an office as any of them, or did when we knew the antiquated though beautiful little city of Dansville—a couple of years since, but he never iudulged in such artistic names. He is too practical for that. Since we were there, however, the city sports a new railroad, and we understand is competing with Rochester and Buffalo for the honors of the title of the metropolis of Western New York. Success to Dansville and A. O. Bunnell, of the Advertiser.

SIXTH VIGO COUNTY FAIR.

Sear Fifteen Hundred Entries—Every Department Over-Crowded—Large At* tendance—The Races—Various Departments in Brier.

A GREAT SUCCESS.

The sixth annual exibitionof the Vigo Agricultural Society, as indicated by almost fifteen hundred entries of firstclass stock, and articles in the various department*, is, or will be, the most successful and attractive, ever given by this, or any other county society. After the six thousand feet of lumber, ordered by Baperintendant Hunter night before last, had been consumed in the erection of sheds for the accommodation of stock, it was fouud that even that amount was not half enough, and as much more was ordered, which was made into sheds last afternoon, evening, and is being completed this morning. Aside from this, Messrs. Owen Tuller and Samuel McDonald had their fifteen or twenty horses accommodated at their own expense, having previously had erected a very nent and commodious stable out of the abundance of their means, for their own special use upon this occasion. In fact, every department is crowded with the Very best, all going to prove our assertion tnade at the head of this report, that this sixth exhibition of the Vigo Agricaltural Association is the most successful and attractive ever given by it or any other county association, and we may" add, many State Fairs.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1871.

there lias been very many fine cattle entered, among which we note the following John Giles, of Sullivan county, eleven head of short-horn Durham cattle. Among them is "Patrick," a two year old bull, bred by T. Dudley, of Clarke county, Ky. and got by "Burnside," the famous show bull of Kentucy. This animal when six months old cost Mr. Giles one thousand' dollars, and but two years old now weighs 1,800 pounds. He is a deep red, and when full grown bids fair to weigh 2,000 pounds. Mr. G. lias in his herd "Jeweller." It is a bull calf not quite seven months old, which weighs 900 pounds, which many jewels would not purchase from his enthusiastic owner. Among the cows are "Beauty the 2d," six years old, got by "Ashland Airdrie," of Clarke county, Ky., bred by li. B. Groom, one of the most extensive raisers of thoroughbred stock in the State of Kentucky. "Musk," got by "Brampton," bred by T. P. Dudley, of Lexington, Ky., whose pedigrees are recorded iH the America^ Herd Book, as are also the cattle entered by Mr. Giles, showing the finest blood in the country. These last named cattle will b? taken to the State Fair, which insures for that fair at least one attraction which would do honor to any fair, not excepting that of St. Louis. A short and hasty visit and inspection of the

SHEEP PENS

resulted in a most agreeable .surprise. We noted some of the best quality of fine wool producing breeds, clearly indicating that this branch of business is receiving the attention it merits. There has been much experimenting in wool of late years, which has had the effect of arousing our farmers and wool-growers to the importance of breeding sheep which yield the finest wool. We think, too, that the present exhibition will stimulate sheep growers in particular, and farmers *in general, to renewed exertion in this commendable business, and we hope our State Legislature, at its next session will pass some stringent laws for their protection against worthless canines making such murderous onslaughts on their flocks, as has so recently been the case at Cloverland and other points in thisj-state. It is but due to such gentlemen as David Pindar, Frank Warren, 8. Rice, W. C. Burgan, A. E. Woollen, W. E. Smith, W. S. Smith, R. H. Fessant and others, who exhibit such fine blooded sheep as they do at the Vigo County Fair, not only, but the wool growers throughout the State. We next scented and interviewed the

HOG PENS.

whicli we found well stocked with superior breeds of the Poland, China, Berkshire, Chester White and other stock and crosses. This department i* said to be better represented than at any previous fair. Among the principal exhibitors we noticed Mr. Jon.Giles, ofSullivan county, and Messrs. T. F. Evinger, Thos. Stewart, Charles May, Clark Harrison, W. J. Cusick, S. A. Daniels, J. A. White, Chris. Kabbes, G. D. Wood, and Matt. Brown. The former gentlemen, as we have before noted in the GAZETTE, brought a car load of stock from old Sullivan^) In fine hogs lie is evidently happy, having one the "Prince of Illinois" on exhibition, which is indeed one of the finest hogs we have seen anywhere, though there are others here that will make him ^'squeal" for the fair colors. In short, the hog department is not least of the departments, though it is not so attractive, only to those directly interested in stock, as are other departments.

TWO STALL-FED BABIES

are exhibited by their prouf and happy maternals, Mrs. Maggie Smith and Mrs. William Patrick. There would be quite a lively competition between these obese, "infants terrible" did their materal ancestors allow them to exercise their muscular as some children do their lung power. But to lay aside all joking, they are pretty and apparently exceedingly healthy children, and their fond and amiable parents may well be proud of them. We hope the pompous committee will come to time and award t-he beautiful silver cup, donated by the great omnibus mau, Tom Gist, meritoriously, and that, all parties may be exceedingly joyful.

THE MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT

is well represented. Among other articles, we noticed the following: Not the least prominent attractive are the beautiful pieces of workmanship in the way of vehicles from the carriage manufactories of Wildy A Poths, Scott, Graff&Co., and Scott, Oren & Co., all of which are of the finest and most artistic workmanship which reflect great credit on the three establishments in particular, and the city where they are located in general. We hope these enterprising gentlemen will see fit to exhibit some of their vehicles at the State Fair.

C. A. Power, of Sullivan, has on exhibition a couple of wagons which were manufactured at Racine, Wisconsin, by Fish & Bros. Samuel Archer, of this city, exhibits a wagon from this city. Both are serviceable aud rather neat looking vehicles.

Sim. Wolf exhibits a very ingenious and evidently convenient and economical hay rake, which attracts much attention from farmers and mechanics. Thompson, Keys & Mancourt exhibited excellent hubs and spokes, while the second partner, Mr. Keys, exhibited a wheel, which helias patented, and which is certainly a good thing. Grover &Hes8, of this city, exhibit an improved Buckeye combined reaper and mower, which attract a great deal of attention. They also exhibit some three varieties of plows. Philip Newhart exhibits eleven varieties of plow.

Worrell & Rynerson, of Hendricks county, exhibit & very excellent looking and certainly very comfortable and con-, venient riding plow. We understand the article issmanufactured at Claytoa.

There were two farm gates on exhlbi-

bition, one by J. C. Meyer's, of this city, and one by C. S. Laughlin, of Clay county, both of which were very cJnvenient, to say the least.

In this department was also on exhibition, a stone pump, the name of which we forget, which appeared to be a good thing.

We noticed that Messrs. Boswell & Croft were out on the ground with that very useful and iugenious invention, the Boswell fruit drier, which was attracting much attention, as it so richly merited.

R. S. Ball exhibited an elegant assortment of tinware. We almost forgot an excellent specimen of that truly good and serviceable reaper and mower,"The Campion," which was proudly exhibited by Mr. C. C. Smith.

Last though not least in this depart ment, we notice some of the finest mantles aud grates we ever saw, and one of the famous eight hundred dollar "Universal Ranges," which attracted very much attention, and provoked many exclamations of admiratiou.

Havinggotleu through the well stocked Mechanical Department, we made a raid on the

POULTRY COOPS

which we found well stocked, George Lockriiige having the largest selection, Dr. Link exibiting some very fine Bramall's, Hamburg's and Black Spanish breed, while John J. Brake was in "high feather" at the prospect of his mammoth rooster winning T. H. Barr's special premium, wliich to us seemed imminent. Mr. Brake had some six or seven other entries also. Mr. James M. Smith, Andrew Saddler, H. D. Scott, George Purck, Willie Conoway, Wm, Hall, Charles May, William McMurtrie, Harvey Evans, James Mills, J. Noyes, Allison Pugh, T. C. Pugh, Oliver Glover, W. E. Price, T. N. Leggett, Almire Burgan and B. F. Woodruff about made up the list of the* other poultry exhibitors. This department would be more interesting could it begotten into a "stew."

Seeing no prospect of getting to sample any of the festive fowls, we made a raid on the

FLORAL AND FRUIT HALL,

where we hastily noticed what seemed to us to be the finest collection of fruits, both fresh alid canned, including jellies, preserves, &c., we had ever seen. Dr. Calhoun exhibits in this department sixty-five or seventy choice varieties of apples, all very nice indeed. J. W. Reagan, of Putnam county, exhibits thirteen varieties of grapes, including Delawares, the first we have seen since we were in Western New York, where they flourish as none others do. Mr. Reagan also exhibits twelve varieties of pears. His sisters Belle and Anna, exhibit a couple of most beautiful and fragrant boquets.

Messrs. Heini and Mrs. Joseph Grover have on exhibition some very fine specimens of rare plants, flowers and boquets. Mrs. A. B. Pegg exibited thirty-eight varieties of apples. A very rare and tempting selection of jellies is on exhibition by Miss Sallie McKeen, Mrs. Corey Barbour, Mrs. Burgan, Mrs. T. Hulman, Mrs. Modesitt and others. Mrs. Rebecca Lewis, of Parke county, exhibited some very choice butter in the morning, as did another lady from Parke county whose name we did not learn. There are many other selections in this department worthy of special mention, but our time was limited then, as it is today as we write. Though we gave quite a list of articles in the

FINE ART DEPARTMENT

in yesterday's issue^ we did not give an item, neither have we the space to do so this issue but will do the best we can for this is the most elegant and attractive department of the entire Fair Ground. A medley picture by Mrs. Mills was the handsomest and most artistically iesigned and arranged of any medley we have seen, and was admired by all.

Miss Lena Fairbanks has on exhibition some very neat and tidy thread frames, which reflect great credit both on her ingenuity of design and skill of executiou.

Catherine Denehie exhibits a very handsome knit cotton quilt, which attracts much attention from the ladies.

Some pretty work by Mrs. Lyndon Smith, is much admired, as is also an ingeniously designed and beautifully worked monogram postage stamp case.

Mrs. Hattie Baird exhibits a very pretty worsted chair tidy. Miss Ella Fairbanks has on exhibition afoot mat, worked out of rags, which is very attractive, as are also some artistic straw frames, the work of her hands, and after her own designing.

Mi&s Eugene Debbs has some very handsome wax flowers on exhibition. One of the most beautiful and desirabla articles ou exhibition in this department, is a perforated white paper cross, set in a beautiful case with a dark background, the design and execution of Mrs. M. M. Williams.

Mrs. Cal Thomas, of Rockvi[le, exhibits a couple of dresses for juveniles, one fine worked quilt aud one of the prettiest pieces of silk embroidery we have seen at any State Fair.

Miss Mary Spears exhibits a doubly Worked coverlet. A quilt crotchet exhibited by Miss Mary Wassis very pretty indeed.

Miss Sallie McKeen and Mrs. Soules each exhibit a patchwork quilt which would do honor to any State Fair. By the tagging attached to them we were led to believe that they are competing for a special premium, though we cannot learn what the premium is. .jr

Fanny Topping, a Miss of only thirteen summers, exhibits some very pretty wax works, of which she and her friends may well be proud.

A chemise exhibited by Mrs. Corey Barbour attracted much attention.' Several inveterate smokers were nosing a case of Katzenbach's cigars, with the evident hope of being placed on the examining and sampling committee of that department.

Worsted embroidery by Mrs Soules

and a fancy paper basket by Mrs. Sarah Denehie are much admired. Ornamented hair work by Emma Magner attracted much attention from the wearers of other hair than their own growing, and many others. It was both novel and pretty.

A pin cushion by Miss Lucia Cruft ,was decidedly nobby and pretty. MissB. Boardman exhibited some very attractive feather work.

Mrs. Moddesitt exhibited a handsome silk quilt, as did Mrs. John Paddock a beautiful worsted quilt. However, we don't know so much about quilts at this time of year as we expect to about Christmas, and then we will know more about comforts and blankets.

Tn speakiug of this kind of articles we are reminded that the finest woolen blankets we have ever seen are exhibited by S. S. Kennedy & Co., of the Vigo Woolen Mills, and are given as a special premium.

We noted a very handsome quilt in this department, near where the Singer Sewing Machiue special office was lo cated. The name of the party exhibiting it we regret we could not learn, for it was, indeed, a most beautiful piece of work.

H. S. Richardson was fouud in this sec tion of the Art Hall surrounded by a gaping, non-believing crowd, whose intellect he was eloquently enlightening upon the truly great merits of the favorite family non-explosive, darkness-diapers ing burning fluid, and Lupton's unequaled,unparelleled aud never-to-be-matched burner attachment.

Dickhout was monarch of all he surveyed iu the trunk department, and indeed he did have a splendid assortment of this useful portable article.

Sykes, the great Prairie City hat mau, was out with an endless variety of all styles of hats and caps, and made every man who passed along there stop and look upon his case with an admiring, though envious gaze and the rest of the day make frantic endeavors to keep any one from seeing the hat he chanced to have on because it looked so seedy in comparison to those exhibited by Sykes, the hat man.

In yesterday's GAZETTE, in speaking of the Fine Art Hall, we made special mention of quite a number of articles, and among others, of some very fine and artistic crayon work and drawing, giving couple of young ladies credit for the same, whose names came out in the paper incorrect because of typographical errors, which we regret, and which we correct by giving them to-day. We refer to Miss A. M. Bame and Miss Julia Heycox. The design and execution of their work is of a high order and attract a great deal of attention.

The representatives of the celebrated Singer sewing machine are on hand and have an elegant temporary office fitted up and carpeted and are ever ready to furnish specimens of their work.

The Howe machine agent had some very pretty work on exhibition—and we believe the Grover & Baker and the Weed machines are represented. There are many other articles in this depart ment worthy of mention, but we must be brief and make a short sketch of the

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT,

which is one of the attractive features of a very attractive fair. J. C. Pugh exhibits some of th® best plump white wheat we have seen anywhere, and is jubilant over his prospectof taking theKuppenheimer special premium.

L. Beigler exhibits some very large egg plants, A. S. Davis' mammoth beets, while the watermelons, onions, nutmegs, squashes, cabbages, rye, oats, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes and pumpkins, which were piled upon the counters and substantial shelving, is certainly enough to make all beholders believe that our county and neighbors are indeed some pumpkins

Having said thus much of the above departments we shall close by referring to the

PLOWING MATCH.

which was originated by our own enterprising fellow-citizen, Phil. Newhart, offering $50 in gold for the successful competitor. There were seventeen entries, and the contest was a warm, one, and resulted in George Coppage being awarded the first premium, James J. Jones the second, and George Fisher (colored) the third.

THE TROTTING RACE

was a very exciting affair, and was witnessed by an amphitheater full, which structure was made free by the Association. The fence on the west side of the "ring was also covered with spectators. The track was in very good order, though a little too dusty. The match was for a purse of $100, mile heats, three best in five,and was contested for by McDonald's grey, Lamb's sorrel and Simmon's bay, with the following result:

McDonald's Gray 1-1-1 I ,am b's sorrel 3-2-2 Simmons' bay 2-3-3

Time -3-23-s% 3-00.

A great deal of interest was manifested in the "race department" of the Fair. WE RISE, &c.

We have written up the fair fully and made special mention of as many of the more worthy objects as our time and space would admit. Having our editorial duties to attend to, we have not beed able to devote as much time aud attention to the fair as we should like, and have been necessarily hurried in everything, which accounts for several annoying mistakes, not having time to carefully revise our proofs. For instance we wrote "plow match" for yesterday's GAZETTE and our mortification at seeing it published

ltplay

match" can better be

imagined than described or expressed. In an other instance the names of the Misses Bame and" Heycox were published Barnes and Hager. Trusting that such will be in a measure overlookfed and that they may at least be charitable with us for deeds of omission or commission, we submit the above report and the following ...

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—Considerable sensation/was created among the trotting fraternity last night on the receipt of a telegram from Budd Doble, of Milwaukee, stating that Goldsmith Maid had trotted three heats against the maro Lucy, and accomplished the second heat in 2:17. If this if true, no doubt Robert Bonner will be at^fcuce prepared to fill his contract of paying $50,000 for any horse that beats Dexter's 2 17£. The track will have to be measured and the time substantiated by competent authorities.

The American Institute Fair opens today. This will be the fortieth annual exhibition. The formal opening will be quite a grand ceremony. Walt Whitney will deliver an oiiginal poem. An oration and music will also be given.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—A special dispatch to the Herald dated Galveston, Texas, September 5, says, there is great excitement over outrages perpetrated upon American commerce by armed parties of Mexicans who sally out in boats, from a small port on the gulf, and capture American vessels.

On August 27, the American bark Brothers, then off Santa Anna bar, was attacked by Mexicans. The captain and crew made a defence, killing eight Mexicans, but were finally beaten and compelled to escape in a boat. The Mexicans then towed the vessel into a harbor. The captain and crew were picked up by the American bark Harvest Home, on the 29th. The Harvest Home was also attacked, but succeeded in escaping. The particulars of these troubles have been forwarded to Washington.

HAIR VIQOR,

IYER'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair I

The Great Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeably, healthy, an«J effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decaj'ed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which jnake some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
