Many otlher ofliers and gentlemtai conncected uitlh the exhibition were al usually energetic and highly succemuful in promoting the etnoeos of the Fair, ard ther should realize the fact that such efforts are ever appreciated and r+warJed b. a gratelul people. The First Annual Fair of Montana is over. The stalls are empty, the halls are desolate. the gounds deserted, the gates barred, and the pleasant oesrs rences and happy days spent therein are oft the rpat. and not anti: Autmur, crowned with plenty, has ceas agann, will that sene bF re-enacted with a far greater glory. Tbhe hp reoletions. of the past week,folded i memory, will ever be cherished, and promote an industry, a cultivation of taste and skill that will contribute to the grand success of the Second Fair of Mqntana. Our people should not tail to fZ.y ap preciate the benefit. of this exhibition. It will be of incalculable benefit to this Territory. We need and want perma nent society. a people who shall come with the intention of here making homes, and who shall bring with them the disposition, the ability and the in dustry to promote Montana's solid in terests by the intelligent cultivation of her soil. Better than placer mines, bet ter than quartz leads, better than all other influences, will be that of the his tory of this Fair. which, going forth over the country, will proclaim to all lands, that away out among these mountains, are splendid farms, noble: s'tock, palatlal residences, edifices of learning, temples of religion, and, alwve all. a people who have created and nour ish all these evidences of civilization and refinement, and who regard honest la b.,r, intelligence and culture as more valuable and more to be honored than diamonds in the crown.; of King. Regretting the want of tume which de nie.s us doing this subject that justice its imulsortance demands. We close. indullg ing in the strong hope that thia "Agri cultural. Mechanical and Mineral Asso ciation of Montana," instituted and cnns dlucted under such favorable ausp.-ecit-s. w ill ver I,rosper andti flourish and l'ex t rt tle greatest influence in the futtr, develol.tnent of our favored Territorv. so long as the Seed-time and llarvet shall endure. i.,WIT OF' PRI EEII ' Awarded at the First Annual Fair of Mon tana Terrtlory. WVe publish below a list of the pro n1iuni. a.warded at the Fair so far as wv, have been able to get them from the books of the Secretary. The books as yet are not fully posted, and hence the list is not entirely complete, hut there is enough to show that the Fair has lbt.een a success even beyond our nliot sanguine expectations. The receipts of the Fair, in addition to the li._eral subscriptions ofou citizens, will enable the Committee to meet all demands upon the Treasury. The general euc Cts..s of the First Annual Fair of Mon t:na. is a matter of congratulation to the otficers of the Association, and encourages ns to hope that we may have a still better exhibition next year: Name Article Noof rinmm Am.\ t.

In Ohio a trult farmer is planting a mammoth orchard, which will consist of 5.K000 apple trees, 10,000 peach trees, 2.(64H) cherry trees, 1,500 Chickasaw iplums, six acres of quinces, twenty acres of raspberries, eight acres of blackber ries, and eighteen acres of grapes. The Valley of Virginia retains its old reputation for fruitfulness. "Scarcely a vestige of the late war is visible," says the Lynchburg Nerws, "in this beautiful and highly favored section of the coun try. It was scoured from one extreme to thy other by successive inroads of Federal cavalry, and was the theatre of many desperate battles, but every wound has been healed. and every scar has dis apleared, and her green fields, full of fertile promise, bespeak a speedy return of the blessed abundance of antebellum days." The Springfield Repwdliean says that Speaker (Colfax is engaged and will soon be married to Miss Nellie Wade, of Ohio. She is described as "a sweet, sensible, accomplished lady ot thirty years, an Ohio farmer's daughter, quite worthy the place she has won in the hIeart of the second man in public life in the nation, and of the position by his side, in home and in society, which she is destined soon to take." As Mr. Bowles, of the Republican, is an inti mate friend of Mr. Colfax, this state menat may be considered official. It is said that the mountains of Colorado Ieard first the "sweet whisper" of Schuyler to Nellie, and Nellie to Schuyler. A . ew kork tradesman having three customers, a lather and two sons by the name of Wheeler, and fearing a confu sion of accounts trom their different or ders, solved his difficulty by styling the stern parent "Stern Wheeler." the eld est son, "Side Wheeler," and the young. est, rather a fast youth. "Propeller." A boy living in Rome, Ohio, recently picked up a small bright stone from the grade in the town, which proved to be valuable. A ('incinnati firm offered him $400, then $450, and finally $475 for it. He took it to another establishment. however, who said it was either a ruby or a diamond, and very valuable, prob ably worth $7,000. le sent it to New York to dispose of. A New York correspondent tells a story of a gentleman of that city, who, for twenty-five years had not known what a money embarrassment was, which proves this. His business was easy, he lived in luxury, with a city and country home, and could draw his check for any amount he needed, without the indorsement of his frieds or aceommo dation from the bank. A friend came to him for assistance. He tried to help him; went in a little way, went further to save that; found his friend fraudu lent and a defaulter, and now can't tell whether in siz months he will be penni less or not. "He Indormed for a friend" used to be the proper iuscription for the bell door of every debtor. Prince Albert remarks, coacernlng hil late visit to the colonies of the southern hemisphere : "In Adelaide they robbed me, in Mdlbowrme they mobbed me, in Bydney they shot mbebut Is Queenaland they toekuie to Joe.daye."

Since the discovery of America. the number of disastrous earthlguake. that are known to have visited thel belt ,of country through which the lite ,,n, passed, exceeds that of any othr vol canic portion of the globe.
