THE ABBEVILLE EAIR.
The Fourth Annual Fair of flic

the crowd of spectators was some

Society have every reason to be en
couraged with their success, and
and with redoubled efforts may
promise themselves corresponding'
results in the future. The dry
summer, the political excitement,
and other causes have interfered
during the present season, with the
full success of the Society, but in
another year we may hope to do
better, and with the spirit and do

Stockholders, and our people gen
erally, there ean be no doubt as to
the success of the Society. The
receipts of the past week amount
ing to over $1,-3000, aiford the best
evidence of the crowds in attend
ance, and of popular sympathy and
appreciation. It is the highest am
bition, we know, of the officers apd
members, to make the Society
worthy of general patronage, and
we feel assured that their efforts
will be crowned with deserved suc
cess.
The Fair was held at the well
known grounds, owned by the So
ciety, situated about one-half mile
below the village. Here a high
and substantial fence encloses an
area of several acres, upon which i\
commodious two- story wooden
building lias been erected, whilst
around the enclosure the numerous
stalls afford ample recommenda
tions for the horses and stock. A
circular track givc3 scope for the
exercise of the fast trotters; and

among the rocks, and in the shndc.

its refreshing stream to gladden
both man and beast.
It is Thursday, the great day of:
the Fair, and let us for a moment!
survey the scene- Approaching
the "Western entrance, we arc greet
ed at first with a view of a crowd
of vehicles on the rigbt which af
ford some idea of the numbers in
attendance. Obtaining tickets at
the Secretary's office, we enter the
enclosure, nd jou a the moving
throng, which first wends its way
to the centre-building as the chief
point of attraction. A conve
nient doorway, admits us first to
the department of field crops, and
here in spite of the comparative
meagerness of the display there is
much to reward curiosity, at the
same time that it affords gratifying
evidence of agricultural and horti
cultural enterprise, .Among me
articles on exliibition, which bore
off premiums, we may mention a
bushel of white corn in the ear,
and of red and black oats, exhibit

Time and space would fail us to ^
speak of the fine brood mares and ?
colts, and the stallions and geldings, '
the jacks and mules, the saddle and j
harness 'orses. In t^c last depart- i

.he JDurhams, the AyrtShires, the K
Brahmins, the Merinos, the Cash-j I:
neres, the Essex, and the Berkshircs,
intil next week, when wo will pnb
ish the full premium list.
One of the most attractive features
>f the exhibition was the contest for
skill in horsemanship, at midday on
rhursday, when twelve or fifteen
rullant cavaliers, entered the lists,
uul in the presence of the bright
eyes and approving smiles of the
fair, contended for the victor's meed.
After repeated trials Mr. H. W. Ho
lers bore off the palm.
On Friday was the contest ior the
'speed premium." and after a closely
contested race between Mr. II. W.
Rogers, and J. A. Richardson, the
premium was awarded to the former.
Then followed an interesting contest
in horsemanship between some fine
specimens of "Young Amcrica," and
at its closo the first premium was
awarded to Master Joel Aiken, the
2d to Master Gussio Smith, and the
3rd to Master Willie McGowan. The
- 1 .11 il. - ...
excrciscs were cmseu uy uie ueuvur)
of tho premiums, to tho successful
competitors.
As wc have said, in spite of nil
short-comings, the Directors of the
Societ}T have good reason to be satis
fied with the success of the late Fair,
and from the spirit manifested at the
stockholders' meeting, thero is no
doubt that the next Fair will eclipse
all of its predecessors. Let our peo
ple unite with might and main in
niacins the Society upon a secure
basis. To the efficient Secretary W.
II. Parker, Esq., we tender our thanks
for kind assistance in making up the
foregoing iir.pcrfect report.
Tiie Court.?In our notice of the
proceedings of ibe Court last week,
we inadvertently omitted to make
mention of the cxccllcnt maiden
speech of our young friend, W. W.
Vance, Esq., in the defenso of Rosa
md Sylvia Jackson for infanticide.
Hie speech was a very promising
,'flfort, presenting clearly the strong
points of the dctense, anu sustaining
ilicm by a copious reference to au
thority. Mr. Y. is an Edinboro' grad
uate and has all the elements in him
)f a good lawyer and successful
jpeakor.
The juries were dismissed on Mon
day,, after disposing, during the term,
>f a-number of litigated eases, and
jiving verdicts in pending negro
;as2s, according to the "rule agreed
jpon by the members of tho Bar.
With regard to negro debts contracted
before the Emancipation Proclama
tion of 1SG0, verdicts were taken for
)nly one-third of the debt; where the
debt was contracted afterwards, His
Honor continued the cases, not being
prepared to decide the legality of the
contracts, in the present state of the
anil)on Lies.
In tho case of Wra. II. Parker,
Commissioner, vs. Mary W'lson, to
recover ibe value of land sold in Con
federate limes, the jury declined to
abate the debt according to tho Corbin
scale, but found $7 per acre the value
uf tho land.
An interesting question "was pre
im'mivu in Lijv iruhu ui juary a. iviari.ii),
vs. Cason, Sheriff, as to the lion of old
executions, against a seizure under
the code, and the lien was sustained.

IIop.se Stolen.?We learn that
Mr. Iv. F. Yoe had a fine harness
and saddle horse, together with
saddle and bridle, stolen from liis
stable on Sunday night a week ago,
by a negro man named Louis Me

aboiit sixty-eight miles. Mr. Yoc
pursued him the next day, and re
porting, to the Chief of Police, of
Augusta, enlisted his aid in hunt
ing up the stolen animal and the
thief. The Chief of Police brought
his forces together and searching
O O
found that the thief and property
were not in the city. Mr. Chris
tian, the Chief of Police, then sent
detachments of his force outside oi
the city in search, when they dis
covered the thief and horse on the
South Carolina side. Mr. Yoe
hired a negro to decoy the thief to
the Georgia side of the river, when
he was immediately arrested.?
When arrested lie surrendered the
horse. Mr. Yoe obtained the horse
and returned with it to his home,
lie represents the Police of Au
gusta as being very efficient in the
discharge of their duties.

The Disease Among Horses.
By far the most prominent topic
of conversation is the disease among
horses, which lias been raging for
some daya past. Contrary to the
usual fact, I have to assure your
readers that the reports respecting
its effects in this city and Brooklyn
are not in the least exaggerated.
The streets wear a half holiday look,
and people compelled to go long
distances are put to the greatest in
convenience. To-day, in that part
of Broadway' which is usually most
crowded, but comparatively few
horses were visible. "A truck drawn
by oxen was one of the novelties to
be seen. Lines of cars suspended
operations, or nearly so. But I
must refer you to the New York
papers for details. I propose to
touch briefly upon the cause of this
calamity. I think I see in it another
evidence of the immutability of the
laws of Providence. Six days are
set apart in Iloly Writ in which to
perform the necessary labor of life;
011 the seventh day we are com
manded not to work, but our do
mestic animals shall not work. The
i . /? il - 1 il.!- ^..1.
violations or me jaws on una miu
ject has surely brought its punish
ment, as jumping a great height
would imperil life and limb. This
disease among horses, which is rec
ognized as a great calamity, impe
ding the business of the whole
community, has originated among
horses which have been worked
every day and during portions of
the night, among canal norses ana
street railway horses, which,besides
being overworked, or at least
worked every day, are often under
fed, and always poorly cared for,
being left to stand unprotected from
winds and rain after having become
much heated. The cruelties prac
ticed upon horse flesh in this city
and vicinity are almost beyond be
lief. I have seen one span of horses
dragging up the steep grades which
are sometimes found at ferry land
ings when the tide is low; 33 barrels
of flour and a truck that will weigh
a ton, making tons in all. It is
common for our street liasksters to
purchase broken-down car horses,
and feed them on little or nothing,
using them till the}r literally drop
dead 011 the streets from bad treat
ment and starvation. Mr. Bergli
and his society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals has done much
to chock the horrid practices I have
related, but his interference has
been unpopular, and he has encoun
tered much opposition in carrying
out his benevolent purposes. J>ut
now Nature comes to his aid. She
asserts that if humanity, decency
and her laws, be deliberately vio
lated, she will find means to retali
ate. That working every day, and
being overloaded, have much to do
with the disease, the significant fact
stands out iu demonstration that
tbo stage lines, whose horses work
but six days in a week, and who
sannot be well overloaded, are run
ling in nearly full force, while, as I
lave stated, some of the car routes -
lave been compelled to suspend
sntirely. a
There is talk that the disease has 1
)r may extend to the human family. J
rhis is not improbable. In fact. 'r
severe attacks of influenza and -
3ther diseases of the respiratory
Drgatis, have latterly been very fre
pient. How it will all end, opin
ions difFer. Let us hope, however, [
that it shall teach justice, mercy,
and less haste to be rich.

"Fronrlr flip. liiatnvinn is mnlrin<r _
- > > ? s j
i great stir among two classes here, i
the literary people and savans, who, *
however, in a commercial place (
like this, are "ran nantes in gurgite ]
vasto," and the Irish, of both high i
and low degree. As may be imag- J
ined, numbers on the side of the
party of the second part weigh j
heavily against brains on that of?
the party of the first part. Froude ;
professes to have come across the
Atlantic expressly to enlighten the
people of America on the hackney
ed, and we had supposed, exhausted
subjcct of "Irish wrongs," and, as
may be supposed, the illumination
cast is just what might be expected
from an Englishman, according to ,
whom the English are all right and
the Irish all wrong. The lectures
delivered by the historian are signal
examples of that self-complacency
which is characteristic of John Bull.
The Irish, meanwhile, have not
beeu slow in finding a champion in
the person of Father Burke, a
priest ot tne .uommican urner.
He has the advantage over Mr.
Froude in being a fine orator, while
the latter, though a filmed writer, is
a very poor and awkward speaker.
Owing, doubtless, to this fact, it has
been that the crowded audiences
which greeted him at Association
Hall, on his first appearance, have
considerably lessened; his auditors
now consisting, for the most part,
of bald-headed literary characters.

In all our common articles of
food the elements of nutrition and
respiration are so nicely balanced
in tlieir proportions that, for the
diet of a healthy man, there is no
necessity for adding an extra quan
tity either to the one class or the
other; or, in other words, the sup
ply of nutrition and of animal heat
is so admirably equalized in the
composition of common food that
any material derangement of the
proportions which it affords is at
tended with a correspondent de
rangement of the vital functions.
It is obvious, therefore, that if we
n<l/l o 1 c\ti nf nlr?nlinl trt tlio 'Fnnrl
taken into tlie stomach, the elements
of respiration are increased and the
animal heat augmented in a propor
tionate degree. Xo part of the
alcohol can go to form the tissues
of the body, or to renovate and
sustain them, as -it is destitute of
nitrogen, and not an element of
nutrition. It can only serve as an
element of respiration, to be burned
in the lungs ot a man, and to add
*. n i i i _ _ x
to tiie amount or 111s amraai neat.
The result is, that, as the quantity
ot alcohol is increased from habit,
an unnatural exliiliration is pro
duced, leading to an overtasking
of the muscular and nervous sys
tems, and to premature decay in
the manhood of the victim. To
use a familiar phrase, he has "lived
too fast." Let us gain a clearer
view of this point by contrast. "We
know that an insufficient supply of
food tends to produce paleness of
n nlmnl.?a lianonon liA+h mil- I
mal heat and the nutrition are less
than are demanded to keep up the
healthful condition of the system.
On the other hand, where age has
not indurated the skin, an abun
dance of food keeps up the vital i
powers, and the face, possessing the
ruddy color of health, hears testi
mnnv to a avcII stored stomach.
Cut when alcohol is added, in such
a case, in excess, the nice balance
between nutrition and respiration is
destroyed, the healthful action of
the animal functions is impaired,
the ruddy glow of health disappears
from the cheek, the deep red of the
furnace heated by flame overcasts
the countenance, and the habits of
the inebriate stand revealed. Now,
if pure alcohol will do all this upon
a healthy constitution?and none
dare gainsay this truth?how much
more fatal, and how much more
speedy, must be the production of
the crisis in tlie drinker's career,
where deleterious compounds are
used in its stead!?California Culiu
rist.
One of tlie latest French fashions
among the ladies is to wear on tlie
head a wide tortoiseshell band,
something after the style of pictures
seen of Greek ladies in olfien times.
They are ornamented with small
gold balk or stars, and are very
effective, particularly for full dress.
