Tho strain was greatly swollen. The engine and tender vouched the opposite bunk and proecedod to Hook Hill for assistance, The baggage car Hunted off, and it is supposed the passenger coaches were precipitated into the creek.

Our people, liuvc been anxiously awaiting the decision of Judge Townsend, in the cases of Cardoso, Smalls and L. Cass Carpenter, who h vS beon tried and convicted of embezzlement of fl(^)ublic money, bribery and forgery. On Monday last Judge Townsend pronounced the following sentences against the culprits : F. L..Cardozo, to be confined in Hiclilaud County jail fur two years, nnd pay a fine of ?4,| OOO, and at the expiration of two years if the fine is.not paid an additional year of imprisonment. Hubert Smalls, to be confined in the Penitentiary, at hard labor, for a term of three years. L. fjass Carpenter, to be confined in the County jail for two years and pay a fine of SI,000. Mr. Melton submitted motions to suspend the execution of the sentences pending the appeal in the cases of Cardozo and Smalls, and Mr. Conner consenting to them, they were passed. lty consent of .Mr. Conner, Robert Smalls was allowed to co on bail rending the appeals?the amount to be fixed on coiiHultntion. Mr. Melton also moved tliat CarJoio be admitted to bail pending his appeal, both in the e#ne in which he had been sentenced and in the tfrrxmy* m&MSil?*'9"'- *"*inaL Mr. Conner said he had no objection to the order, so fur as it related to the preseut case, bin as to the others he called attention to tho 1m4 in relation to the punishment of the offenses. In three of these cases, the punishment was a tine of from $10,000 to $20,(KM) each; in one of the others the punishment prescribed was $.">,( MH) and fire years' imprisonment in the penitentiary, and he could not consent that the defendant should be released on any smaller amount in these cases. By consent, then, the order was made admitting Cardozo to bail in uu amount to be fixed on consultation. Like orders were made by consent in tbecaso of I<. Cass Carpenter. -? - - 4 Cents & Week Saved There are uien in this County so iucau that they travel from" to f> miles, and back, every Saturday, to hear a subscriber to the Times read the news in it, rather than pay 1 cents a week uufffellow their families to rend it. If thai is not the height of meanness, we don't know what I is. In the first place, tliey ineunly use what | '.heir neighbors have paid for; in the second place, . they are too mean to pay 1 cents a week for a I County paper for their families to rend; in the ' third place, llicj travel from fi to 1*2 miles every week to lounge about a Post Office nad sponge j upon tlicir neighbors to hear the County news that others have paid for. This we know to he true ; and our subscribers |tre doing themselves and us a groat wrong in | allowing it. A wrong to both ?ef us, because | they give a tuenn excuse to hundreds, who can j afford to subscribe as woll as t henaselvee, for not subscribing ; t ius robbing the Editor of many hundred dollars that be would use to make the paper more valuable to the subscribers end faT mote satisfactory to himself. ^ . ^ 3 'ouirty could, and we would enlarge the Times and make it the best County paper in the State.

The Fair?A Race Challenge. Mr. Kihtoii.?Our third annual Fair was quite a succcs, if we may judge by the general satisfaction expressed thougliout the three days exhibition. The great regret ef the occasion was the dj-enching rain which fell continuously through the Inst, and usually, the most interesting day, preventing any po.-sihlc use of the * peed ring'. That was a great disappointment to a large unmher who hud anticipated great sport in tlint particular part of the Fair. Now, .Mr. Editor, in order to overcome or alleviate this disappointment.

Editor:?Union County may justly be proud of her Agricultural Fair which has just closed. Those who had thegener: I supervision of matters are deserving of much commendation for tlio manner in which the various departments were managed. Yet it would be strange if there were not some things objectionable, ami 1 shall take the liberty of expressing my disapprobation of the way in which thecooArmy match ci are rnuuaged. I might touch upon the horse racing and dog shows, but as these tjiiugs are not very interesting to nte, 1 will say but little about litem. When we scacely pick up a paper but what contains a report ot a dog with the rubies, or some case of hydrophobia, 1 think it high time souit effectual steps were taken to curtail the nuiubei of worthless dogs, instead of encouraging the rearing and keeping of more. A good yartJ dog no sensible person would object to ; they art useful; but the keeping of a dozen or inert hounds?as 1 know of some men who do?is ?-~i: .?. I lOUIiau UllU UAiiiiTU^iui, tv iuv iv?av vi at. bat what Vparticularly object to is the man ner in which the cooking watches are ttianage< at our State and County Fairs, and while object iug would rcspcctly draw the attention of thosi whose duty and pleasure it may be to propan the printed programmes, to a plauia' "mi.ie own,' which L. think would give more general paus ructiou,~rettTT^sw^W>ewwiee ..^n....s same time more Ihorouyhly test each contestant' competency as a cook than u:iy plan hit herb adopted, it may seem rather premature b write of this thus early, but as our Fair has sn recently closed, and while fresh iu '.lie minds o many, I think it best to broach the subject now so that those whose busiuess it will be to prcpar the regulations, &c., may have ample time b digest the subject before the next annual meet iug of the Society, and doubtless improve upoi my plan. The cooking matches, as heretofore managed are open to much improvement. Why, tiie way i is now managed, the real house-keeper?the wit and mother?stands no chance at all ! for th contestants arc limited to such a youthful ag that it is mostly school misses (or it not at scboi they ouy/tl to be, judging froiutheir ?0et orvcr young ladies "just out"?to use a society plirusi It is tjuite true there was no cooking done ? our late Fair, for a premium, but from what cuu learu it was more the fault ol the w out he than the youthful contestants, who came *>& "TTteJfared Itr too A.

Of course front th material I have uicvtiunud a very plain diiuuj would be expected, but those whose business i is to prepare the programme could decide o something d i tic rent. The bill of line shout not comprise any very elaborate dishes, bn something which it is supposed any one accui touted to c:oking might understand, and the the one vvl.o can, on tlie spur of tho niomcni without any previous training in any two o more dishes, prepare (he best meal, shout he emitted,?and very justly,?to the preuiiuu i?ut whuii the bill of fare is given out week before, auytchoo'yirl who may never have turne a hue cake bctVr , cau, with Mama to direct au prompt her, soon learn to'cook the dishes name in it so wcJl that sho'iiiiglit even excel an oldci mere experienced and more competent cook, will stale, to enforce what 1 have said, that durin a l-'air, not a hundred years ago, nor a huudrc inilea I'roin here, I have been ini'ortued en go.> aulhoriiy, a yoi'.ng lady came to cook for ill premium, who brought her biscuit dough will her, which she had prepared at home under th mulct uul eye, beef steak all chopped, i\:c., pre pared, I presume, under the same experiuce< orb.
