The prwenceol Maud 8. * g ^ ll alien would draw more people to Meu benville,orauyplaceelse,than> agricultural and niechanicsl exh bWon that could be got up. In fact, the truth is that purely agricultural and mechanical lain have been voted a bore ever emce the Centennial. The people saw it aH ,11 at one time-all that there could be that time and there were not euough poo KrX did not roe that ?hMU?|? let up an interest iu any vest pocket edit ion ol it. But lairs that are understood to mean fast horses are a perennial attraction to the American people. They are like circuses, they never wear out. Therefore if our Steubenvillo friends expect to make a success out of their fair they must pre sent the public with a bill of particulars that shall jiave about ninety-nine parts of Maud S. and St. Julien in it. ThiB will draw for fifty miles around, and will com mand for three days a largo crowd. Wo do not wish to bo understood as ad vising our Stoubenville friends to go into the business of opening up a race track. This is not our object. Horso racing is de* moralizing. There is no question about it, but nevertheless it is the only feature of a modern fair that draws. Fine wool, ex traordinary pigs, wonderful fowls, new fangled corn shelters, patent churns, the unfailing washing machine, and thin skinned potato peelers, aro all well enough in their way, and so are abnormally de veloped vegetables, but somehow the American people have been there too often and got fully satiated, and only that por tion of tho country folks who have court iug and love making buoiness on hand can be counted on for a reliable attendance. L'nfortnatelv they are not numerous enough, and alflo not ilush enough in the matter of funds, to make an old fashioned fair pay expenses any longer. Hence the passion of the people for excltomont has to bo appealed to, and nothing arouses this foeling like tho names of the groat thorough bred* of the turf. We thorefore advise our Steubenville neighbors that as long as they are striking out for a bonanza in the way of a fair, that tho only chance they have for a great success is to make sure of a great display in the way of tho very best horse flesh. .\rlKliburliouil Corrt'upouUruce? A Model letter. The local correspondence of newspapers is one of the most importaut features of their make up. Imperially is this truo of "country newspapers," and by this term we includo nearly all newspapers outside of the large cities. Great interest attaches to well written local correspondence, but the trouble is that moat local correspond ents are given to expatiation on current events rather than to tho work of condens ing as much real neighborhood news as possible into the shortest space. It is not often that wo oither receive or read a bet* ter local letter than the following notes sent to the Steubenvillo Prt*s, by its news gatherer at Brush Creek, Jefferson coun ty. We quote it as a good model for the consideration of some of our many good frionds who send us letters occasionally. "Quite a numbor of farmors have scld [heir wool pinre the election At About 43 :ents per pound. Democrats enioy that part of the victory equally as well aa lie publicans. Wheat io about nil threshed and ia selling freely at $1 00 per bnahel. The Jackruan family have about 1,600 bushels, part of which" was grown in Koss town bhip. J. M. Beard had 30 bushels per ncre on corn Mock ground put iu wi*h a nhovel plow. Quite a number of Holds have produced that amount under various modes of cultivation. M. N. Kusaell had O bushels from 20 acren, drill measure. Threshers say it will nwko 700 bushels by weight. Eignt ccres of it was the third crop of wheat in fcuccession of fully ten bushels seed, making ubout 220 bushel*. Coneideiabie coru remains unhusked. The crop is a good one. The cold suap is making water scarce for stock. John Alexanderand wife, old end highly uateemed citizens of this township, aro iu feeble health aud confined to bed most of the time. The-former is eighty-three years of age and the latter eighty-one. The gen eral health of the neighborhood is good, no prevailing sickuess of any sort. Schools have all commenced the winter term. Farmers are all busy getting ready for winter and doing up fall work generally. M. This is a much more interesting letter than Ihe average of those written by neighborhood correspondents. The Wash ington county, Pa., newspapers, as Also the Barnesville, Ohio, Enterprise, Aro pe culiarly fortunate, we often think, in their local correspondence. They get real live muUum in fxtrw neighborhood letters. The art of writing euch letters is one not diffi cult to acquire. All that is needed is what is known as a "nose for news," and the ability to realizo that it needs only to be written out in the fewest and simplest words. Where it can be livened up by little touches oT pleasantry it is all the bet ter. of course, but, ae a general thing, the nearer it comes to telegraphic brevity the better the public like it, and the more apt they are to read it. Komelhtnir A'cn 1'iiUer llio Nnn. The latest conception iu tho amusement field is as novel in character as it is mam moth in proportions. Our readers all have pleasurable remembrances of the visit bore last season of Haverly's Juvo nile Pinafore Compauy. Tho leading spirit ia the organization and conduct of that delightful troupe children was Col. C. K A. Mctieachv, familiarly known as "The Alphabet." lie has now gotten up a company somewhat similar in some respects, but exceeding tho other in prom ise of revolutionizing the "show busi ness." It is called imooKS Dickson' a m'oeaciiy's "grand in fanta." Tho idea is to have a company of one hundred children. The "bill of the play," so to speak, contemplates "two perform ances daily," to-wit: A complete minia ture circus at matinees, with trained ponios, monkeys, dogs, baby elephants, acrobats, equestrians, and all the accessor ies of the "charmed ring," while tho im mortal "Humpty Durapty" will bo pre sented in the evenings with an unusual quota of musical solos and chorusos, to gether with a grand ballet and marches, and terminating with a bewildering trans formation scene?all these in addition to the familiar pantomimic plot and custo mary specialties. Capping the climax ol these attractions will he a juvenile orches tra and brass band. The transformation scenery will consist of thirteen drops, each of exquisite desigu and wholly original, and of a description calculated to beggar the vocabulary of the most critical admirer of spectacular dis plays. The writer has, in conjunction with the members of tho local press, beeu favored with a privato view of the entire transformation, and, therefore, feels war ranted to predict an enthusiastic recep tion for this portion of the "Grand In fanta," at least. The costumes and pro perties aro of course to harmonize with the splendor of tho scenery, and the tricks nnd feats in both circus and pantomime, as well as all the principal characters, will be un dertaken by juveniles strictly-even the four-footed participants will taint of ex treme adolescence. Altogether the show ia destined to create a sensation wherever it will go and prove a just bonanza to its originators. The finishing work of or ganization will be conducted in Now York City, from which point tho "Infanta" will tako the road early in January, nnd Mr. McGeachy writes to a friend on the Intkllioknckr staff that he will vh-it Wheeling if his show doesn't get ho big tho town won't hold it '1 million In t'Jtle*.
