TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 99, %7
The Vigo County F*ir will be
held on tbe i*t».£di snd 8d days of October, Mid still there has been no list of premitrma paMished. There is considerable carelessness somewhere.— This matter shook) be attended to more promptly.
Two weeks ago we gave to the reader* of the Weekly Express, foil list of the Premiums for oar next County Fair. We also, several w*ek* ago, •track off a large nnmber of Posters, traon which was the Premium LUt. AomPosters have been sent all over theComty.
Are the editors of the Union enjoying a Rip Van Winkle snooze?— Express.
We have been ready and willing to do anything and everything in onr jower for the benefit of the Agricultural Society of Vigo, bat as yet we have not been officially informed of even the time of the meeting of the Society the information we gave in the scrap above, was gathered on the street. We have been asked, time and again, about the list of premiums, •nd what were to be exhibited, but conldgivo no information—supposing all the time, that a list would be given by the proper authority in dne time. We waited until we were tired, and could not learn anything further, and in good faith to onr readers, and the public gonerally, gave them to understand that there was "considerable carelessness somewhere," and wo say to yet, as ire will show before wo close this article. 5 If the list of premiums had been published in the Weekly Express, why was it not furnished to the other papers of the city? We would have gladly published it gratis, for the ben efit of onr readers. We do not exchange with the Weekly Express, and have the first farmer yet to see, who knew that it was published in that paper. We venture the assertion here, that not one-third of those who feel an interest in this matter, ever saw that list in the Express,
muchlesB
heard of it. Notv, if the gentlemen who have control of this matter, desire to make a political thing of it, they ought to •ay so, at once. Indeed, laying all prejudice aside, the arrangements, so far, seem to torn it rather into a Republican channel. If this is their aim —if this is their desire, wo want to know it, for tve shall, most assuredly, go in ftrrjan American Oounty Fair, and we doubt not that Mr. Cookcrly trill do what ho can to got up one on tbe Democratic principle.
We have no desire to create any Hard feelings in this matter, bnt we do oontend that it has been the worst nanagod affair, so far, lhat we -ever heard of, and for the troth of this, we aak those who are interested, to pay attention to the different exhibitions on the day of the Pair, and see if what we say is not there strongly manifested.
Gentlemen, you mnst not suppose that the Express circulates all over the eonnty, or even over the oootwentieth part, for we know that it does not.
Lost UT Hts ows Counfikld.—A planter in Arkansas went into his cornfield, a few days ago, to examine the damage done by the coons he ventured so far into the tall corn that he became lost and bewildered, and wandered about for three days nnable to find his way out. He lived on raw green corn. His family and negroes beeame alarmed, and commenced a search for him, and on the third day found him near the centre busily employed in rubbing two dry sticks together to produce fire by which to cook Kfai corn, as he fbnnd the raw article rather disagreed with his stomach.— He thinks he woold have founa his way out on the third day, but he got into a patch of Black Republican beans, and then he gave op.

Show Cahada.—The Kingston News learns from respeastble authority, that on Saturday last, Coteaa da Lee and neighborhood, below Comwall, were visited by a snow shower, and the temperature was mueh lower than at any time this sammer.
Jj|r Tho groes receipts of the Ohio State Fair were between twenty two aatd twenty three thousand dollars- 4. -i'
jfcjr The fall term ol the Vigo Circuit Court adjourned on Saturday, after the usual session of three weeks, the entire time having been consumed in the trial ef criminal causae. Several cases were tried without convictions, quite a nnmber were comtiaaed, and six persons were sentenced to the State prison. Three of the burglars —McDonald, Hogue and Hooper— arrested some months ago, were sentenced on Saturday. Hogue and Hooper were tried, and convicted of committing the burglary at the office of Grover Madison, and sentenced four and three years, and McDonald plead guilty to the charge of committing the burglary at Col. Dowling's residence, and was sentenced for six years. Andy McGuire is still in custody under an indictment for receiving stolen goods, and Jock Cook under one for grand larceny. Jas. Napier was discharged under a recognizance of fifteen hundred dollars for his appearance at the adjourned term of the Court, which is to commence on the last Monday in January next, but was immediately arrested upon another charge, but the persons who procured his arrest not appearing against him, he was again discharged.
The fact, that one entire term ofour Circuit Court has been consumed in the trial of criminal causes,l#eaving many of them still not disposed of, shows that crime has been fearfully on the increase in our city. If it were eonfined only to this place, others might, in view of these facts, congratulate them selves but this is not the case. All over our State—all over our country, are the foot prints of the blasting tread of crime, and the only cause of congratulation any of us can have, is that the measure of the iniquities of many of its minions have already been filled, and that retributive justice has overtaken them in the hour of their fancied security.
That such has been the case in our community, is owing greatly to the untiring exertions of Sherift Stewart and Marshal Crooks, aided by Mr. A. T. Jones, the evidences of whose skill as a detective policeman have* too long been before the public to need any commendation here.
Thb Worthlbssnkss of Gold.—It is stated by many of tho survivors of the Central America passengers, that there was seldom so large an amount of money owned by passengers, as was in the case of those who came by the Central America. Many were persons of large means, and there were but very few whose immediate wealth did not amount to hundreds, while nnmbers reckoned their gold by thousands of dollars. Thegroater portion of the passengers were returned miners, some coming hither to invest the oapital they had realised in hopes to live a life of greater ease as the result of their industry, and others to get their families and once mora go to the land of gold. But as the storm continued to rage, less and less of gold was thought of, and when on Saturday, it became evident that they were likely at any moment to be buried beneath the waves, wealthy men divested themselves of their treasure belts and scattered the gold upon the cabin floors, telling those to take it who would, lest its weight—a few ounces or pounds—carry them to their death. Pull purses, containing in some instances 2,000 dollars, were laying untouched on sofas. Carpet bags were opened by men and the shining metal was poured out on the floor, with the prodigality of death's despair. One of the passengers who has fortunately been rescued, opened a bag and dashed about the cabin 920,000 in gold dust, and told him who wanted to gratify his greedy appetite for gold to take it. But it was passed by nntouched as the veriest dross. A few hours before he would have struck down the man who would have attempted to take a grain of that which he now spurned from him. 4
A Fkoo ih lot.—The editor of the Savannah Georgim* was a few days ago shown alnmpof northern ice in which a medium sued frog was comfortably and coolly ensconsed. His frogmhip showed symptoms of life after his incrustation had dissolved* and, having been placed in water was thawed into Bfe and activity
Dkatb or Gk*. Hmnwmeo*.—G«n. John Henderson died at his residence, at Pass Christian, on the 16th instant. Gen. Henderson waa formerly a Sewstor in Congte*. from the State of Mississippi, and has been for some years in the practice of the law.—,

Terro-IIanto, September 28,1857.
National Poetry.
We take the following from the Miner's Journal, Pottdville, Pa., as it embraces all tho important features in Capt. Cottkb's lecture promised to our citizens, on to-morrow evening, at the Universalist Church
Capt. G. W. Cutter, author of tho "Song of Steam," the "Magnetic Telegraph," and other lyrics, which have received the highest enconiums of the best American and English critics, lectured in this Borough on Thursday evening last, on the above named subject. Capt. Cutter's lecture was not anticipated, and in consequence, the attendanoe was not as large as it should have been. Those who were fortunate enough to be present were delighted with the manner in which Capt. Cutter illustrated the importance of Poetry in its true sense, and the intimate relations which exist between us and those ancient nations which transmitted to posterity through their pools, thoir history, sentiments, oustoms, etc. Capt. Cutter spoke
the effect which the ballads of a nation exert upon the people—more powerful than ramparts arms orlkingly power itself. We will not attempt to convey even a faint idea of tho excellence of Capt. Cuttor's lecture.
There is an incident in Capt. Cutter's life not uninteresting. He was in command at the Battle of Buena Vista, and had several of his men shot down in attempting to rescue Col. Clay, the lamented, favorite son of the "Sage of Ashland." On his return from the bloody fields of Mexico, he brought back to Mr* Clay, the pistols of his son, and a lock of his hair. Touched by the attention, Mr. Clay evinced his gratitude to Capt. Catter, by presenting him with a seal ring, containing a lock of hair an4 the following inscription: 3 y^:-«k.0LAY to .M
CAPT. O. W. CUTTBRT.
The-utmost friendship existed up to tbe hour of his death, between Mr. Clay and Capt. Cutter, and the Captain holds his memory in the greatest reverence.
Thb Doom op oob World.—'-What this change is to be we dare not even conjecture, but we soo in the heavens themselves some traces of destructive elements, and some indications of their power. The fragments of broken planets the descent of meteoric stones upon our globe—the wheeling comets welding their loose materials at the solar furnace—tbe volcanic eruptions of our own satellite—the appearance of new stars, and the disappearance of others—-are all foreshadows of that impending convulsion to which the system of the worid is doomed.— Thus placed upon a planet which is to be burned up, and under heavens which are to pass away thus treading as it were, on the cemeteries, *ad dwelling on the mausoleums of former worlds—let us learn the lesson of humility and wisdom, if we have ad already bora taught it in the school of revelation.—Wertk British Rene*.

which appear to en
tirejy stisfaoUwy, The ooawe of ins traction adopted by there is ample, and practical, ant their inBtractors, 90 far as known te as, are Ben of worth and ability. The enterprise of these gentleman keeps felly abreast of even this fast age, So far as liberal and determiaed efforts can avail, they are resolved to meet every want of the mercantile interest, in the way of thorough and practical education.— Their snecesa thus far has been most flattering, 1,087 students having, entered their several Colleges sinoe their last Catalogue was ismed- The catalogue before us is a neat pamphlet of 64 pages, containing, with mueh other interesting matter, Horraee Mann's Lecture on Mercantile Education, delivered before the Chicago College laat winter, and an Essay upon the same subjcct, by W.P.

The Greatest Medical Discovery
of
the
A$e, Is Ayer»s Catharic Pills. They don't help domplaints, but they cure thorn.
One Box has cured Dyspepsia. Three Boxes have eared the worst cases of Scrofula,
Two Boxes hare cur^fl Erysipelas. One Box always euros the Jaundice. Three Boxes are sure to cleanse the system from Boils—often less than one docs it.
Two Boxes have completely cured die worst of alcets on the legs. Small doses steldom fail to enre the Piles.
One dose cures the headache arising from a foul stomach. Strong doses often repeated expel every worm from the body.
They should be given to children, who are always more or less afflicted with this scourge As a gentle Physic they have no equal.
One Box cures derangement of the Liver. Half a Box cures a Cold. They purify the blood, and thus strike at the foundation of every disease.
As a dinner Pill there is not their equal in the world. They are purely vegetable, and can do no harm, but do accomplish an unaccountable amount of good.
Prepared by Dr. J. C. AYER, Practical Chemist, Lowell, ass., and sold by all Drnpglsts and dealers iu medicine throughout this section.
