Additional Local News.

IT IS estimated that there were not less than five thousand people on tho Fair Grounds at one time yesterday, and that from time to time, during the dayi there were not less than seven thousand visiting the grounds.

WK learn that the policemen of our neighboring city (Terre Haute) went to the Bririgeton Fair, got passed in free, got beastly drunk and commenced raising such a disturbance that it became necessary to expol them. How is that for "guardians of the peace ?"—Brazil Miner.

Who arc the policemen in question or is it merely another of tho Miner's jokes?

A VIGO county lunatic is trying to ruin a fine colt by dubbing him "Dan Voorhees." Will there never be a law in this State forbidding cruelty to animals?—Indianapolis Journal.

If that Journal man chances to put in an appcarance at the Fair Grounds, either the "Vigo county lunatic," Han. Voorhees, Senior, or Junior, will take pleasure in kicking him.

"DUST thou art to dust returneth, was not written of tho soul," but it is daily recorded in tho Torre Haute papers, of the streets of that city.—Indianapolvt Sentinel.

The Indianapolis journalists don't record the dust of the Capital because their eyes are always so full of that article that they "can't see it." If there ever was a dustier city prior to the introduction of the water works thereat, we have failed to see it, and even now it is bad enough.

A MiCLON-CHOiiY

SCENE.—Yesterday

afternoon a quartette of watermelon fiends made a concentrated and well executed flank movement on an exhibition of mammoth melons of the watery variety, and succeeded in detaching one of the largest and best of a magnificent collection, from the main body. No sooner had they accomplished this fete than they whipped out four jack knivea. and were soon testing the qualities of the delicious fruit of the vine. They had not more than half disposed of the melon, however, until the exhibitor put in an appearance and frantically inquired what they were doing, and laying trembling hamls upon the candidate for the first colors, asked them if they were the committee on watermelons, to which they responded that they were, and asked him who raised the melon being sampled, to which he responded that he was the identical man. One of the quartette then complimented him in the highest terms on his success in raising the articles, yet did not satisfy him that the red ribbon would be attached to his collection. Meanwhile the quartette were sampling the melon at a lively rate the purplexed exhibitor still clinging to the rind with a perseverence that would have done honor to a tenacious turtle cliuging to an injudicious gosling, and making cautious though firm inquiries as to whether they belonged to the committee. Finally tho sampling committee in question, went away in search of the red riblon, leaving the exhibitor to hold the rinds and await their return, and there he was at last accounts.

CAN'T and oil refinery be established in this city.—Terre Haute Gazette. Probably it could if you had the capital and enterprise. Your Opera House might bo made more profitable as au "oil refinery .''—Madison Courier.

Madison papers should be the last ones to blow about the enterprise of a city like Terre Haute which is as far iu advance of Madison as Chicago is in advance of Terre Haute, in improvements of all kinds. There is one railroad running through Madison, and one, we understand, under contract which will go through when completed. When a lady visits that antiquated old village she is obliged to ride to her destination on a dray or walk just as she likes. Terre Haute has four railroads, and built in such a manner thatere many months she will be the great central point between the North and the South, as she now is between the East and the West, with the difference that two of the best lines of railroad in the Union run through her from the East to the West and only one from the North to the South. She will have a railroad, direct to Cincinnati. We think Terre Haute has an Opera House which has no equal in the West for grandeur magnificence and comfort, which the Madisou mau knows no better use for than converting into an oil refinery. We did uot expect anything better from him, however. Besides the evidences of enterprise referred to above, Terre Haute lias oil wells, sulphur wells and salt wells, to say nothing of the State Normal School, with an able corps of teachers, apd her efficient corps of teachers in her popular city schools, the letter fifty-two in number, while Madison has but "twentyfive." Just now Terre Haute and Vigo county are having the most successful County Fair ever given Jn this State,

and could the Madison Courier man be present his optica would expand with wonder and amazement to take a look through the Fine Arts, Stock, Agricultural, Mechanical, Fruit and other departments. Last, though not least, one view of the artistic beauties of Dowling's Hall would convince him, howeverskeptic, that Madison has not a public hall that "can hokl a candle to that," to say nothing of the grand Opera House.

SIXTH YHJO FAIR.

Ii)i:-ncnse Attendance—The T. II. & I. Ii. It. Riiii Excursion Trains Hourly—The Race—Miscellaneous ention.

A Gram! Exhibition.

A? is always the case at fairs, whether county or State, Thursday (yesterday) was the big d:iy of our county exhibition, though to-day is almost equal to it in attendance in all the particulars. As early as seven o'clock yesterday morning, when the gates were thrown open a grand rush v.-as made for the inside, which continued during the day, though at times the rush would be more perceptible than at others.

Resides those who were fortunate enough to possess conveyance of their own, every buss, band wagoyi, public carriage and express wagon was kept going the live-long day to and from the Fair Grounds for (he accommodation of those who did not have a conveyance of their own. Resides this, the popular T. H. & I. Railroad kept a train of seven elegant coaches, under charge of the accommodating Conductor, George KnowHon, running too and from the grounds and city from 10 o'clock A. M., until 0 P. M., which was crowded each trip to and well loaded each trip from the grounds. Notwithstanding the facilities of all kinds, it was insufficient for the occasion, and to-day (he train referred to above is being run hourly, and of course, crowded to its utmost capacity.

In the afternoon we made a trip to the grounds and were truly surprised at the great crowd of people in attendance and the vast number of teams hitched, not only inside of the enclosure but for a quarter of a mile up and down the fence outside and adjacent to the Fair Grounds. Among the many attractions yesterday were the

I'KAIKIK CITY GUARDS,

who, headed by the martial band, after marching through tho streets to the Union Depot, boarded the two o'clock excursion train and upon reaching the platform at the Fair Ground, formed in marching order, and with shouldered muskets marched into the enclosure to the time of marlial music, making a splendid apperance in their gorgeous uniforms, and with their burnished muskets and bayonets glimmering in the sunshine. They marched about tiie grounds a few minutes in elegant style, creating quito a sensation and provoking many favorable comments from those who witnessed the performance. They then went through with the manual of arms under the order of Capt. Rryan, "stacked" their muskets and detailing a guard placed them on duty and the remainder dispersed. About six o'clock they were called to arms and taking the train were soon lapded at the Union Depot. They then formed in, order again, and headed by their band, marched through the streets to their quarters about dark.

THE RACES

which were advertised to take place at the Fair Grounds did take place,but were a very "tame" affair, only two entries being made, both of which disgusted an immense concourse of people, who were thickly crowded in the dilapidated old shadow of an amphitheater, on thefence, in carriages and buggies by the fence and many "in the ring." The time made was 3:10, 3:11, 3:20.

We did not learn of any bets higher than the lemonade or cigars, which, in some cases, were said to have been made by irresponsible parties, who have not yet come any nearer to time than did the competing teams the race, to anything like what sports would call "time."

We shall refrain from any further special mention of articles under the department heads until the premiums are awarded for the reasons that there are so many excellent and worthy articles that we cannot mention some without doing others injustice. Especially is this true of the Fine Art Hall, which is stocked full with most beautiful works of art, even some of the most worthy articles having escaped our notice until yesterday afternoon. Therefore we shall today only make

MISCELLANEOUS MENTION

of some articles which have been brought upon the ground since day before yesterday evening, and a few of the many of tho others escaping our notice previously.

In the art department we noticed that Mrs. C. L. Bramin had on exhibition some beautiful specimens of wax work, including a cross.

Lewis Wilson exhibited a very novel and artistic rustic photograph frame. AMiss Wilson, only nine years old, exhibited a piece, of what we took to be, worsted embroidery, which did her much credit.

Owen Tuller, Esq., has on exhibition an imported center table, manufactured in France, and •which he ordered through a Boston firm. The table in question is made of various kinds of the most valuable wood beautifully dovetailed and fitted together in a very ingenious manner. It cost about $250, and is only^ a part of a set of parlor furniture which he recently ordered for his palatial residence on Ohio street. This table attracts more attention and involuntary exclamations of astonishment and praise than anything else in this department.

Mrs. Joe. Blake exhibits a beautiful piece of ornamental shell work which attracts many admirers, both ladies and gentlemen. A piece of ornamental needle work by Mrs. T. Hulmap, very

pretty. Wax flowers by Louise Strong as are all.the specimens of this kind of work, is very pretty and attractive.

For the elegant silver pitcher offered by Tom Langford for the best set of single harness, there are two competitors Peter J. Ryan and R. St. John, both of whom exhibit very fiue specimens of choice workmanship.

Even a balky hoi'3e would be proud to draw one of the beautiful buggies on exhibition in the mechanical department, if either pair of the harness exhibited by the gentlemen named above were to ornament him. Which, any person who knows of the characteristics of balky horse, will say is quite a compli ment to both horse and harness.

Passing along by the Floral and Fruit Hall we attempted to make a few notes with a view to special mention of the tempting fruits, the beautiful plants and fragrant flowers with which it was honored, but the task was too much for us, having failed entirely to do justice to the Art Department by making special mention. At this point we become convinced that life was too short and too precious to be squandered in fruitless endeavors to make mention of all the rare specimens on exhibition in the commodious hall. After gazing on in admiration for some time,we turned to "depart" when our optics rested upon the patient Sampling Committee of this department, consisting of Rev. M. A. Jewett, Perry E. Tuttle, Mrs. Dr. Thompson and Mrs. Fred A. Ross, surrounded by a hungry crowd who were anxious to "put themselves in their places," the city editor of the Express and the Journal's "special" included among the rest. Of course we did not want to sample any of the fruits or butter. We had strong reasons for not sampling the latter, aside from the opportunity, though it was from past experience and not from an anticipated one.

Our fruit growers unquestionably have honored themselves and done much to advance the art of raising first-class fruit by this exhibition, in which they have had associated, and not seconded by fruit growers from abroad.

THE COMMITTEES.

During the greater part of the afternoon the various CQmmittees were on duty with a greater task before the most of them even than we have had and still have before us. They cannot give premiums in such a manner as to please every one any more than we can write up the Fair to please every one. They have our sympathies in their labor, for which they certainly will not receive the thanks of every one, while the chances are they will receive the imprecations, "not loud but deep," of others To-morrow we shall endeavor to give the awards of premiums, or so much of the same as we can gather up this afternoon and early in the morning. For the pres ent, we will close our report.

The opposition to this theory is

much confined to the same class which in earlier times declared that Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravitation utterly upset the throne of the Almighty— to-wit, the clergy.

Recovery of a Lady Wlio Lost Her Scalp. Some weeks ago the newspapers published a paragraph stating that on the afternoon of the 31st of July aMiss Tyrrell, while at work in a watch factory iu Elgin, 111., got her hair entangled in the coupling of a shaft, and had a portion of her scalp torn from her head. How the hurt has almost entirely healed the Elgin Gazette of Aug. 26, thus tells: "The physician who dressed the head arrived at the scene of the accident twenty minutes after the occurrence, examined the scalp with a view to replacing it on the girls head, but decided that, as it was entirely detached, and had become cold, there was no chance of its growing on. He then dressed the wound, covering it with cotton-batting. After the lady had been removed to her home another physician was called iu, who insisted that the scalp should have been replaced immediately, and that it should be done then, six hours after theaccident. His opinion prevailed,and the cotton-bat-ting was all picked off that could be removed and the scalp was replaced, being secured in its place by stitches at the angles and by strips of adhesive plaster. For five days it lay upon the head firmly, with every appearance of life and health but on the sixth day, a spot, about the size of a twenty-live ceut piece, became tender to the touch and a little soft. In about twelve hours it opened outward under the scalp to the eye, and discharged matter mixed up with cotton fibre. During the next five days it continued to discharge from different points on the right side of the head and forehead, the left side discharging but little, and from but two points. About one-third of the scalp loosened in this way, portions of it being cut away by the attending surgeon as it became loose. At about o'clock on the morning of the eleventh day after the accident, after sleeping soundly all night, she called for a drink of water, and while the nurse was gone she raised herself up in bed, and the scalp was drawn off and found lying on the back of the neck, entirely detached except at the ear, from which it had to be detached with the .scissors, and the eyebrows, which had grown firmly on. The head was found to be covered with a coating of flesh, from au eighth to a quarter of an inch thick, except in two or three places half an inch across, where was found a deposit of cotton as thick as a sheet of paper. Since then these places have filled with granulations, and the flesh has increased in thickness until it is now nearly even with the skin.

Upon examining thescalp after it came off, it was found to have been attached in places on both sides of the head, and those points which had become detached by supper.ition showed, granulating points, looking like new flesh starting on it! The blood vessels were enlarged and contained fresh red blood.

The ear had partially united, and was quite sensitive—so much so that she could tell what part of it was touched. Dr. Winchester, the attending surgeon, thinks the scalp was torn off by the lady in rising from her pillow, to which it had become fastened by dried matter during the night. She is now doing well and out of danger her recovery in only a question of time.

The skin on her eyes and eyebrows, having becoming attached, is natural, and the physician says he can warrant the entire head to be covered with a new skin he intends to take skin from her arm and place it on her forehead and temples, so that it will be smooth and natural. Then, with a head of false hair, she will, in a few months, again walk the streets of our bluff" city, apparently her former self.

PRESIDENT GRANT'S sore-tailed colt, which was the subject of so many newspaper paragraphs a few weeks ago, suddenly disappeared from public notice, and as the President simultaneously discontinued his visits to Washington for a long time, the public naturally came to the conclusion that the invalid animal was either well or dead. A late number of the Capital explains the matter. According to this authority, Gen. Dent, finding the skill, of the medical fraternity iu Washington inadequate to the emergency, determined to try the effect of cundurango, and the experiment was completely successful. Not only did the colt speedily recover its usual health and spirits, but the afflicted tail shortly began to sprout in the most extraordinary manner, and has now developed in a flourishing cundurango tree. If this remarkable cure can be authenticated, it will afford anew testimony to the virtues of cundurango, as well as to the wisdom and usefulness to the Administration of Gen. Dent.

OVER exertion, either of mind or body, sometimes appears to tell sharply on a succeeding generation. As a familiar example, we know that Baron Humboldt was one of the most laborious of men by way of compensation, his son, just dead, seems to have been one of the laziest. He had vigorous health, the German papers say, but he spent the last twenty years or so of hi3 life in bed. The toilsome efforts of the author of Cosmos, from the peaks of the Andes to the Polar seas, were thus compensated in his son by the self-indulgence of a Sybarite. Rust apparently consumes, nevertheless, faster than labor wears, for this luxurious scion of a hardy stock—styled a "sonderling" by his contemporaries of Berlin—died at a much earlier age than the great aavan, his father.

A BOY 16 years old, named King, became weary on the second night of his confinement in the lock-up in Lewiston, Me., and with a nail made a saw of a case-knife, with which he cut off the bars of his cell. He had nearly escaped when the police discovered what he was doing, and put him in another cell. In a short time he h*d nearly worKed out of this cell, badly smashing the walls as well as cutting bars. They then put him in a third cell, with braceletson his wrists, and then went on their rounds. In forty minutes King had cutoff two bars, and made his escape. That boy will make his mark in this world.

HAIR VIGOR.

AYER'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair!

The Great Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and 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 decayed. 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 make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
