MAYOR'S COURT.—James Chambers, a stranger and suspicious looking individ* ual, was before the Mayor on aharge of vlagrandy, and deposited his carpet sack as security for an assessment made. Reuben Justice, for a bad drunk, handed in $7,0® worth of stamps. Benjamin Snider was guilty of the ungallant action of assaulting his wife, for which he was drawn^ on sight, in tho sum of $3,00.

There is still no appearance of

rain, and the only hope now remaining is in the State Fair. If that does not bring it, we ean console ourselves that the snows ot next winter will put a quietus to the intolerable dust.

A man at Evansville was relieved

of a tape worm twenty-four feet long, the other day. His landlord is highly de lighted because he never could keep up a 6upply of grub as long as the worm board ed in the house.

f@*Visitors to the Fair Ground to-day will find the check room, under the perintendence of Mr. Hook, a great convenience in the way of depositing baskets, satchels, and other articles not convenient to carry around.

BASK BALL.—The Phoenix Club of thi city has challenged the Resolutes of Evansville the latter have accepted, and the game will be played on the grounds of the former this morning. At one clock the Resolutes will play a game on the same grounds with the Western Club, of Indianapolis.

PERSONAL.—In addition to the newspaper men mentioned in yesterday's paper, in attendance on the fair, we were pleased to meet yesterday W. B. Hollo way, of the Indianapolis Journal, George Harding, of tho Indianapolis Herald Wad Beach, of the Columbus, O., Journal, Charles Hines, of the Chicago Times, Dr. Bland, of tho North Westsrn Farmer, Indianapolis, and J.T. F. Wright, of the National Agriculturist, Pittsburg.

MUSICAL RUNAWAY.—Yesterday morning the Prairie City Band started for the Fair Grounds in a wagon. Asthey moved off the drummer gave a tap on the drum asaeignal for tho tune to begin. The next tap was with his head on the ground. The horses, unused to such sounds, started on presto time for a half mile strain, when they were happily checked and made a de capo movement to the place of starting without further damage than the powder* ing with dust of the head of the unfortunate somersaulting drummer.

BALLOON AND FIRE-WORKS.—This af^ ternoon, at the Fair Grounds, Professor John A. Light will ascend with his beautiful balloon, "Flying Cloudon Thursday, the bridal party,with Professor Light, in the mammoth balloon "Crescent City.'' On Friday, Professor Light with the

Flying Cloud," and Mr. Dennison with the "Union," will make a balloon race.— On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings Mr. Wallace will give exhibitions of fire-works, in the enclosure in front of the Terre Haute House. The enclosure has seats for 5,000 visitors, and will be brilliantly illuminated with Chinese lanthorns. The Terre Haute House wiU also be illuminated each evening.

CONFIDENCE GAME.—Yesterday morning an elderly man, named Eppley, Irom Wabash county, Illinois, arrived in town en route to visit his relatives in Indianapolis. Of course ho could not resist the temptation of stopping a few hours to see sights in our beautiful town. Coming up from the iepot he fell in with a young man, and to make a long story brief—the young man was well acquainted with the old man'sfolks at Indianapolis-knew Jake and Tom—they lived on Illinois street, &c. Tho young man was shcrt—had a little bill to pay—wantod to borrow $125,00 at the same time producing a $§,000 government bond, which would be left a8 collateral security. The $125,00 were counted out, the old man took the bond, and the two were to meet at the depot and take the three o'clock train. The old man was at the train promptly on time, but the young man did not make his appearance. It was not until then that the Illinois man began to smell a good sized rodent. He made a critical examination his green and gilt paper, and was dumbfounded to find it was a certificate or policy in the U. S. Accident Insurance Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., and a clever imitation of a government bond. Information was filed with the police—one of whom thinks he knows the gentleman —and we hope the fellow who was going to take the Illinoisan right where his friends lived, but instead took him where he lived—his pocket, may soon be caught.

UNION JUDICIAL CONVENTION.— In pursuance of previous notice and appointment the delegates from the various counties constituting the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit met at the Court House in Terre Haute, on Tuesday, October 1st, to nominate Union candidates for J- dgeand Prosecuting Attorney of suid circuit.

On motion, John Collett, of Vermillion, was called to the Chair as President of the Convention, and Wm. E.McLean appointed Secretary.

A call of the countios constituting the circuit being informally taken, each county was found to be represented.

Nominations being in order, B. F. Rhoads, of Vermillion, nominated for Judge, Judge R. W. Thompson.

THE "STATE FAIR!®5:

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF THE INDIANA STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE —THE OPENING DAT —HOW THE

GROUNDS LOOK—WHAT THERE IS AND WILL BE TO SEE, ETC.

The long expected and aniiously wait ed for State Fair is now upon us, around us, about us, inside of us, and, indeed, so far as we are able to judge is the principal part of the usually quiet and orderly Prairie City. infection has seized everything even the hotels, ordinarily so staid and home-like, have adopted the prevailing style, and underneath your noses are poked "bills of fare," upon which are such articles as "Horse Radish, jilleys of beef, and all the varieties of vege tables in every imaginable style." "Horse talk" salutes you every where. Instead of the stale interrogatives "Have you seen the well?" Have you taken the bath or "Did you ever bear the echo you are greeted with equine babel in which the voice of an enthusiastic gentleman is frequently heard, who is spoiling for a "bet of a box of cigars or twenty thousand dollars that he has a horse that can beat Dexter." Another genius extols Silas Rich still another expatiates upon the "points" of Patchen, until you fancy that every thing you see has somehow or other transformed itself into a horse. Horse is the phantasm of the Terre Haute brain, and conceal it as some well disposed persons may attempt, the roal interest of the fair centres in the] one thousand dollar Agricultural race of next Friday, nominally for the "President's premium," but really for a "purse," the same as is done at Fashion Course, Dexter Park, or any of the noted race courses of the country.

Enough of generalizing. Tho Fifteenth Annual Exhibition of the State Board, wisely located at Terre Haute, despite the snarls and harmless growls of our overfed Capital neighbors, opened yesterday morning under the most gratifying auspices. The weather revealed a cloudless sun, yet not too hot or cold to be at all uncomfortable. Tne rain so long held off, seems determined to be a little longer so, and the probabilities are fair for a cloud of dust that will blind the eyes of the smartest politician in the State.

Our readers had have already a full and ample description of the Fair Grounds, but to make the record of its history complete, it will be proper to repeat so much as is necessary to convey a proper idea of how the grounds are finally arranged for the exhibition. One mile and a half, or less, from the heart of the city they are easily reached by the turnpike road in any of the innumerable vehicular conveyances, from an Irishman's "go-cart" to the recherche barouche, or else by the half hour trains on the Terre Haute road, which land you within three hundred feet of the entrance gate on an ample platform especially constructed. There are seventy acres in tho plat of ground, twen-ty-five of which are in ample shades, liberally furnished with five wells of water, making as pleasant a retreat from business and bustle of the city, as any of our suburbs affords. Six largo and well arranged halls have been erected, devoted to the various classes of exhibitory articles requiring the use of enclosed buildings. First, is the Fine Art and Music Hall, the center of attraction for the aesthetic portion of the public. It 100 by 25 feet, partially floored, and the middle area will be occupied by pianos, organs, melodeons, etc., while the walls are to be decorated with the work of native and foreign artists, and ladies and gentlemen of taste. This hall is in the care of Mr. L. G. Hager, of this city, under whose care it is rapidly assuming shape. There now are already two or three splendid specimens of statuary by Eppinghousen,some fine articles of handiwork by Mrs. Lyndon A. Sin ithj amon? them one Afghan robe, the texture of which would compel the liveliest citizen of Afghanistan to commit hopeless suicide. Mrs. Heinl has three specimens of work—ono a shell wreath, one made of various fruits, nuts, etc., and one of wild flowers, all of them speaking well for her taste and skill. A set cf chamber furniture is only the nucleus around which is to be gathered a brilliant display of cabinet work. This Hall will be a very olio of beauty when completed.

Fruit and Floral Hall is directly to the north of the above, and is the Mecca of female hearts. It is in the shape of a Greek Cross, ono hundred feet each way, and is under the charge of Mr. Gilbert. Very little has as yet found its way here, but a central pyramid is covered with a most exquisite collection of plants, few of them in bloom, however, by Heinl Brothers, our local florists.

North of Floral Hall comes Power Hall, the seat of the motive power which operates the varied machinery on the grounds. The main engine is an eighteen horse power, built by Mr. Joseph Grover, of this city, with a boiler from the establishment of Sinker & Co., of Indianapolis. The usual variety of farm machinery begins to take it& place here among them only one reaper—Woods', so far. Its dimensions are thirty by one hundred feet and is filled up with ample belts and shafts for all possible contingencies.

There are three other halls, each ighteen by one hundred and forty feet rranged for domestic wares, farm products and carriage manufactures, etc. These will be all filled with their respective articles before to-night. There is also a suite of rooms for the officers of the State Board, the Secretary, the Superintendent and the Executive Committee. In the office of the Superintendent is a telegraph key with east and west line, which will be an appreciable convenience for the service of reporters here, representing every conceivable newspaper in the country, who will be known by a blue badge with the word "Press" printed in gold. We commend all of them to the consideration of both the officers of the Fair and the exhibitors. Pleaso consider them "necessary evils," and attempt to answer all their questions civilly

To the left of Floral Hall is a neat suite of rooms fitted up for the convenience of ladies, and supplied with water, lookingglasses, combs, &c., and a check room, attended by a lady, where small parcels can be loft with safety.

On the west lino are one hundred stalls for horses, and on the north one hundred for cattle. Near the latter ai'e the pens for sheep and hogs. On the margin of the time ring are the Judges'stand and the ampitheater, the latter capable of holding fifteen hundred people in full view of the er.tiro circle. There are also any number of refreshment stalls, and if any human being goes away hungry and thirsty it will be his or her own fault. The grounds have been arranged under the immediate supervision of the contractor, Mr. Hook, and he is entitled to credit for the completeness of his details, and the general convenience of the entire whole.

Yesterday was a day totally of preparation. The Secretary's office was crowded with entries, and up to last night the number was almost fifty per cent, in advance of what they nave been in any other year. In the live stock department there are one hundred and sixty-seven entries, embracing in the horse way the names of Fearless, Geo. M. Patchen. Silas Riche, John A. Logan, and others. A gentleman named L. L. Dorsey, living eight miles from Louisville, brings a stud of ten horses, one of which called Rollo Gold Dust he wants to bet fabulous sums of money can knock the "hind sights" off Dexter.

In the cattle way the display will be superb. Those already he/e embrace the magnificent herd of President McMillan, of the Ohio State Board,from Xenia, Ohio. Mr. Aston, of Elyria, Ohio, is here with a few line wool sheep, which carried off some of the prizes at Davton, and David M. Magie, of Camden, Ohio, has several pens of "grunters," which Would convert ibe most sedulous Jew io the world to ac«

t've Christianity Indiana stock men will be in the list to-day and to-morrow to contest warmly the premiums on this class of stock.

INCIDENTAL MENTION.

The gieat Presidential premium of one thousand dollars for tho fastest trotter has drawn seven entries, and on Friday the day for the race, the excitement will be at its white heat. The large mile track, built by the citizens at considerable expense cannot be used on account of the failure of the.rain to settle it, and the dust on the half mile track is several inches deep. Despite the efforts of scrapers and sprinklers it will be heavy and ^low, and unless there come rains to allay the terrible powder,we shall fail of seeing the best speed of the Kings of the turf, who are here to contest for the nulle premium.

S. H. Potter exhibits a solid lump of coal taken from a three foot seven inch vein near Brazil, which weighs eight hundred and thirty-seven pounds. It is a solid chunk without flaw, and is a large credential of the mineral wealth of Clay county, which, according to Prof. Brown, is worth ever so many indefinite hundreds of millions of dollars.

The couple which propose to test the pleasures of Hymen in the balioon, several hundreds or thousands of feet in the air are at the Terre Haute House, and are the "lions" of the city but the deference to them is sadly marred by the fnot that no one knows which they are of the many excellent and matrimonially inclined males and females stopping there. A friend of ours from Indianapolis, who has been married for a year and a half, but whose wife looks jubt as if she was on the eve of matrimony, is constantly pestered with all sorts of remarks, among them some not very pleasant. The novel idea uf a marriage in tho air has added considerable interest to the fair, especially among that class of people who would prefer hernia in its nfiost diabolical form to missing a wedding or a funeral under any circumstances. We hope the roinan tic couple may not find that wedded bliss is all gas.

There are to be displays of fire-works on the evenings of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, which are being arranged under the direction of Mr. Wallace, of Zanesville, Ohio.

To accommodate the immense numberof people who will be in the city this ween, our street railway is reinforced by two extra cars from Indianapolis, which with those "native and to the in an or born," will be amply sufficient to give all a ride.

The Police arrangements on the Fair Grounds are excellent, and with ordinary care no one will lose any thing or meet with the slightest inconvenience. Among the -'stars" on duty are Jacob Bisbing, George Taffe and Pryor Duval), from Indianapolis.

The President's premium for the best trotting has been increased by private subscription to fourteen hundred dollars, and the citizens' premium of livo hundred dollars for the fastest pacing, has ueen secured.

The unexpectedly large amount of livo stock entered compelled the erection of forty more stalls on the grounds yesterday evening.

Late last night the band of the Twen-ty-fourth Indiana, engaged to furnish music for the Fair,gavo our people a touch of its quality free gratis, for nothing,with.out auy admission fee, winding up with a serenade at the Terre Haute House, in honor of the Bohemians there assembled. Our unavoidable absence prevented a proper response to their excellent music.

Taking the first day as a sample, in comparison with other Fairs ot the State Board, we ar9 safe in saying that the success of the fifteenth exhibition is amply secured, and that it will so far eclipse any thing ever before held, that the Board will continually berate themselves for ever attempting to hold their Annual Fairs outside of the enterprising, lively, go-ahead and elegant city of Terre Haute.

SECOND DAY—MORE PREPARATIONS AND CONFUSION—ENTRIES AND ARRANGEMENTS—DOINGS OF THE EXECUTIVE

COMMITTEE—THE TROTTING AND PACING MATCHES IN THE AFTERNOON.

The second day cf the State Fair opened out with the vGry finest weathor, but with just as great confusion, noise, bustlo and chaos as on the first day, and to attemptto see anything was mere nonsense, except as it forced itself under your nose, on trucks being wheeled hither and thither, to appropriate positions.

The number of entries are too largo to be reported with anything like certainty, butat twelve o'clock tho Secretary inform ed us they were twenty per cent, larger than at any previous Fair when the books were closed. This plethora of articles is in all departments, except the Floral Hall, which would be a poor affair were it not for tho exhibition of Heinl brothers, noticed yesterday. For instance, in the Farm Products Hall, there are fourteen different entries for the premium on best half bushel of white corn, and this Hall usually sparsely furnished, and naturally expected to be thinner this year on account of the drouth, is literally buried bo neath an avalanchc of golden esculents

Tho Miscellaneous Hall is assuming shape under the care of Mr.T. E. Dawson. Tho excelsior carriage works of A. J. Welch exhibits some splendid specimens of workmanship, which have most excellent companions in a number of carriages and buggies of B. C. Shaw, from his Indianapolis manufactory. There are any number of endless varieties of Sewing Machines—Wheeler & Wilson's, Grover & Baker, Singer's, etc.—and very queerh from their cards it appears that d! or nearly all took the "highest medal at the French Exposition." Thero is a hand power loom which kicks up the most awful racket imaginable, and attracts a crowd from the samo reason that an earthquako would create an excitement. A gentleman is on hand with a washing machine, afflicted with cocaethea loqaendi, which takes the strange form of asserting that ho cannoiJ"talk his machino offit has to win its way by its sheer excellence. This unfortunate tongue-tied youth is to be pitied, but the sympathies of the public would find a bettor object if they should fasten upon the poor ear-besieged visitors in that locality. Pumps, Knitting machines, and a thousand and ono things aro being fitted up in this hall, and when all are arranged it will bo among the most interesting departments of the exhibition.

The Fine Art Hall, under the personal watch care of Mr. L. Hager, is nearer completion than any other, and the ensemble is exceedingly beautiful. This morning the various halls will be thrown open to the public, and it will bo our duty to accompany our friends through them, and attempt a description of each in detail as far as may be possible or practicable. Yesterday afforded no opportunity for this sketch.

The live stock department, or at least that portion occupied by horses, is the center of public expectation. At noon yesterday there were three hundred and ninety-eight entries, exclusive of poultry. Of horses there is the really fine stud of L- L. Dorsey, embracing Rollo and Boca

Gold Dust7 l)iminock, the old jockey, is hero with Silas "Rich and Lizzie Ronick Tom Oliver with Mollie, Doliy Datton, and a grey gelding^ L-^ae B. .Loder has Belle Loder and Bay iJbgnn, and yesterday Hamilton Jackson, -of Hendrfcks county, entered Red Buck for the one thousand dollar premium. This promium has been increased to fourteen hundred dollars, three hundred going to the second and one hundred tb the third best horse' the first trotter carrying off the one thou-

J. ... ... r~

sand. For fast pacfite thern" Lcga Tender, Billy B.qyue» Dan Voorhee's Lady Alexander ljifi*"fiodsier Tom.

In the cattle line there is an excellent display of Ayrshire, short horn Durham,. Devon and Hereford cattle. Of the latter a herd of Mr. Astoh, of Elyra, is attracting great attention from persons who revel ia^good beef and creamy milk. Tho stalls ofthe cattle end of the Faiir Ground are all full and extra ones were required to be erected yesterday./ From present indications the competition for premiums in that ring wiH be smartly cobteatei,«id whoever carries off the'rfed flbbon may consider it a lawful prize.

In the sheep line there are several pens of most excellent Spanish Merino fullbred one the property of Mf.'Cobper, of Vermillion ...county, Illinois. To be wrinkled" is the great honor of a Spanish buck, revealing tho purity of^ blood, and in the way of "hard lines" Mr. Cooper's sheep aro among the best. There are also a number of cottswold and fine wool, the property of various, gentleman— among them a buck for which fifteen hundred dollars was paid several weeks ince. In the finfe W6ol jine there aro two or three pens which are full of the biggest Sheep we ever saw* 'They are re markabie for "bre&dtb.-deptb ajid thickness." ""Each of their fleeces has*wool enough to sot the Democratic party of the whole country wild for an age. The sheep pens are very attractive, and a fellow who remombers the savoriness of sundry mutton chop3 op a roast with mint sauce, cannot help, stray where ho may over tho grounds, "to return to his muttons." /•$$•'

In tho hog lino there'fs'A' mrgO einibi tion of white Cheaters, Suffolks and Cheshires. Their self-satisfied grunt3 are" listened to with sonoroiw admiration by those who revel in porl£' 'tetrfg' a hearty admirer of scrofula, ^either in the shape of "kings evil," or a roast pig, we cannot discourse -as eloquently -as 'some on that animal, which never met its deserts, except on one occasion, when they afforded a relief for his Infernal .Majesty.

The cattle are in care of Lot S. Bayless, of Fort Wayne, a connoisseur, who ha6 reduced their raising and cultu.rp to a fine art. He will be ready to give all inquirers full information about everything in bis department. O

It is impossiblo and' impracticable at present to sketch any of the departments. The time for entries was extended until nine o'clock last »igbt, and up tothe very last second, excited individuals who "bad things" were paying their little per centages and rushing their articles out to tbe Fair Grounds. Among the late arrivals were some pianos from Traysor,Robinson & Co., Indianapolis, one of them an Irving piano, with the double octave coupler.

The gates were closed ester Jay against every one but enterers, and during the entire day we should judge that about five thousand people—but few more or less— visited tho grounds. As'the business of seeing and doing the Fair actually commences this morning, we may look for something like a crowd.

BUSINESS MEETING.

The Executive Coriimitteo of tho Stato Board, consisting of Hon. W. C. Donaldson, Hon. James D. Williams, Joseph Poole and President Humrick, have had several meetings for tho decision of various matters pertaining to tho Fair. At tho first one, held on Monday at threo o'clock, p. M., the rates for vehicles were fixed at fifty cents for doub'o carriages twenty-five ccnt* for single,carriages, and twenty five cents lor horses under saddle. A premium of twenty dollars was also ofored for heavy draft horses _tjpo years old and urder thrfeo."

On motion of Mn Poolo, the builders of the ampitheater overlooking the race track were given the eutiro procaods of the tands underneath,sold out to various parif

It was decided .that the citizens of Terre Ilaute should pay over to the State Board the amount of money which the railroads centering in Indianapoiis pay when the Fair is held at that place. This amounts to $1,566.

A called meeting of the Board was hold at tho Terri. Haute House? on Monday nighjjj at which Q. F. Mabe », of Indianapolis, was appointed Instructor of Committees and Receiver of•'Reports.-*

At 9 o'clock, yesterday morning, the Committee held' another meeting, at which tho matter of how the Jborsosfshould go, in the competition for tho ono thousand dollars, was discussed'.* A proposition that it be left to the decision of a majority of the owners,of ho?sep entering for tile race, waS rejected, and it was agreed to hold another meeting at 11. o'clock, to which tho members of thq Vigo County Board should le admitted. At eleven o'clock this joint meeting was, held, and the vexed question svas thoroughly "debated, tho deliberation resulting in the adoption of a resolution that, if no more than six horses were to start, they should go together, but if more than six, each should 50 alone, and Its time taken by the "Judges. This decision will probably take Docsey's "Rosa Gold Dust'' out of the ring, as Mr. Dorseysays he will not trot her on that track with so many horses. A great many people who have heard of the marvelous powers of this mare, are quite anxious to see her me her "drumsticks."— (That's horse talk.)

Hamilton Jackson was permitted to enter the horse "Red Buck" for the Presi dent's premium, but as he has hurt his leg, if he shall qct bo abie to trot, the entry fee will be refunded Messrs. A. Webb, J. W. Smith and T. P. Murray, were appointed Judges of tbe afternoon races.

AFTERNOON BICES..

In the afternoon at two o'aiock according to the published programme,*' the b^st pacing races—4 geldingi of twenty dollars. No very remarkable

time was cxpected, but certainly

tho

l^ere

A black hprse, owned by Jesse Miles, Bowling Greoii, Indiana, fibade his mile in 3.36 a dun gelding belonging to John StX9Ugh, Po,liog, Indian^ scored 3.37 a Myinare fcelbnging to Mrt S. A. Cord, of Rushville, got around

twenty

2.44, and took

dollars, while the second best

was a hrown gelding of Z. T. Lincoln, Williamsport, which doubled the track ia 2.48. l! ,• -_At three o'clqclc-tho test trotting double teams wero to be shown, but only two entries were made, and when called only one of them niado its appearance. The horses were "Moody," owned by Shockensee, of Louisville, and Belle Collins," owned by Mr. Kent, of this county, we beUove. Want of opposition failed to bring out their best nerve,andonly 3.01 was the announcement of the judges.

The four o'clock saddle horses were for premiums of twenty dollars for racking horse and more respectively. Tho first premium was won by a.. Allen, of Bainbfidge, and the latter by Mr. Shockensee, of Louisville. These races closed the fair for the day and what visitors there were turned their heels homeward.

INCIDENTAL.

The city is filling up with appalling rapidity, and what to do with those still to come is a very serious question. Hotel accommodations, especially the at Terre Hauto House, are already cramped.

Confidence men, thieves and pick pockets are among the distinguished arri. vals. Yesterday afternoon Marshal Bisbing arrested two men named Frank Chris ty and Frank Purcell, who wore attempting a new "little joker" game called "the patent tobacco box." They were remanded to jail,: and will be tried thjs morning. Ono of tho men had on his person a full fiet of burglar's tools.

An old gentleman from tho country named Eppley was diddled out of one hundred arid twenty-five dollars at the depot by ono Miller, on tho old conadenco ^dtidge of lending money on a bond, which of course

Was

An assault was made on ono of the police of the fair grounds named Daniel Miller, by a burly fellow calling himself Williams. He was arrested and tried on tbe spot by a Justice, and fined $10 80, which amount he paid without a whimper. Two or three drunken men were arrested, and confined in the temporary calaboose erected on the groudds.

There is to be a game of base ball played to-day on the ground of tho Pbcenrx, at the west end of Ohio street, between the Westerns, of Indianapolis, and the Resolutes, of Evansville, The managers of the Fair exteBded no very flattering inducements for tho "noblo gamo" within the grounds.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.—The undersigned, Trustees of tho Riverside Institute, an institution chartered by tho State of New Jersoy, for tho maintenance and education of the orphans of the Soldiers and Sailors of our whole country, which is beiug established and endowed by the enterprise and patriotism of the Washington Library Company of Philadelphia, would announce to the public that in their opinion, the efforts being made by that Company for tho establishment and endowment of tho Riverside Institute cannot fail of success. Their agencies have been established, and tbeir adver tisements published throughout the country at great expense, and tho results are now being realized. If the distributioq,,. were to take place, and the labors ot tho Company cease on tho 25th inst., as advertised, the institution, though established! would not have provided the meAnS for a proper and permanent continuance, nor could it be so cxtonsively useful as^the public and the Trustees desire.

Alter maturo consideration, wo have therefore recommended that tho Washington Library Company postpone their distribution until tho 8th of January next, and continue tho sale of certificates and engravings until that time, under tho firm belief that iho result will assuredly provide a permanent home lor tho maintenance and education of very many of thTorpfians of those who have died in the service of the country.
