Ho said that fewer tnulattoes aro born now at the South than before the war, although the population has lucrcascd almost three mtUlcns since lstfl. "All Informed people know this." The reason, ho says, may be simply this, that "freedom has cWen legal force to Ihc tcsti. mor.y that tho unmarried negro mother might glvo In a suit brought to secure tho support of I he child." ADDHO.N COUNT V TAIIl, ProapccI ot a Suoccstliil Exhibition, Tho Ihlrtv-ntntU annual fair of the Addi son County Agricultural society opened at Mlddlebury on Monday. Tho weather in ti.o morning was bleak and dismal, but the pros pect soon changed and tho day was bright and pleasant. With a continuance of such weather the fair cannot help but be a grand bucccss.

A month or two since the Fr.KS I'miss spoke ot what has come to tbo regular cus tom In this State of requiring Insufficient bail of persons accused of grave crimes and then allowing them to go unwhlppcd of justice as a great abuse and a reproach to the Mate. Tho Rutland Herald now takes up tho mat ter, and in the course of a long editcrial arti cle uses these truthful words : "This abuse of the idea and purpose ot bill has become so gross iu Vermont that It really amounts practically to compounding a felony, for the ball Is accepted with littlo scrutiny by the than lecwaler shall he vended at the fair and If lho ladles cun help It, not a clgnr nor any thing else sinoknlilo will bo sold on the grounds.

Still it was quite windy and very dusty, that things were not fully ns agreeable as otlicrw iso might have been the case. How ever, as the ancient enemy of tbo Addison County Agricultural Society rain tailed to nut In an nnnearance. Deonlc were not dis posed to grumuie, nut 1001c luings us iu--( came. lho town was full of people at an cany hour In the morning, and It was even men pretty evident that tho number of people in attend mce on the fair was to be unusually large.

Mr. Haven was arrested on a criminal complaint based on section 4100 of the lieviscd Lawsof Vermont, which provides a3 fellows; "A president or other officer or agent of a bank, railroad, manufac turing or other corporation, who wilfully and designedly signs with intent lha'.

Here is mo Sutiiniiir t mont for twelve and one-half per cent, of their " ' fi " 1 " swag, our Commonwealth will become tho very paradise of .that not altogether desirable class of people. Of course we do not for one moment presume topass upon the question of Mr. Haven's criminality; but it is a fair ques tion for public discussion whether or not the amount of ball in which he was held Is suf ficient to ensure his attendance for trial. Now to take other cases iu our recent his tory. Richard Peabody of St. Johnsbury was tried and convicted of extensive forgeries but was permitted to go scot-free on pay ment of his ball. The Itutland bank employe who stole a large sum of tho corporation es cape! lu a similar manner. Sjlomon M, Field, a wealthy citizen of Newport charg ed with passing counterfeit tnonev, es caped by paying a bail bond of $3000, Other cases might be mentioned ot a similar character. In 'all or nearly all of theso cases it was the common remark at tho time that as a matter of course tin respond ents never would appear for trial, and the fact Justified the Inference. Of course they did not appear for trial, for the ball was not ot such amount as to ensure their attendance or to mako it at all probable that they would o appear. The result is that notorious of. fenders escape Juitlce by tho payment of a sum almost insignificant. In the Constitution of Vermont is a prohl bltlon of tho requirement of "excessive' bail of a person accused of crime. Iu the change ot time and modification ot system of government such a prohibition is now but little needed. It Is not In this, but in an era long since past that the government was lia ble to crush n prisoner and deprive him of his lights by requiring excessive ball. Hut In theso days the distinction appears to he large ly lost between cxcesslv e ball and proper ball. The ono principle that ought to be fol Farming implements and machines arc ex hibited iu great variety, and of all makes. Mechanic s liall, in tuo norm end oi uie buddim: which used to bo Floral Hall, is fill ed up with the product of the farm aud gar den. Tho inevitable horde of sewing ma chine and organ men aro also here, and mucu rivalry exists ueiwccn me rcpresenia-tive-s of the different manufacturers. Floral Hall, also is completely tilled with bcautitul things and is coustautly crowded with ladies. This hall Is now what used to be the town room in the old court house, and is situated at the very entrance to the grounds, so that i is very accessiuie and convenient. The Nhecp. The central and apparently most attrac tive feature ot the fair among the exhibits, is this year, as it was last year, the sheep. A large number of entries have been made, al though but few premiums are to be awarded in this class. Last year the Interest taken and shown by everybody in tho hundreds of valuable merinos on exhibition was quite re markable, and tuts year It seems even more S3. Even tho ladies promenade through the aticep-housa inspecting tho slock and dis. cussing the merits ot the rams and ewes. i no snecp-uouse is crowucu wuu pcopie nu the time and the sheep pens are nearly all full. Additional pens have been built in whatever available space could be found and somoof these are tilled with sheep. Most, if not all, the best flocks of sheep in the county, nnd therefore in tho world nrc repro secuted by selections, and the snow oi siieep is certainly one of the best cvir seen.

The thirll-nlnlb annual fair of the Addison county ngilcultual society came to a elose on Wednesday, after a most successful exhibition. In the forenoon there were from 1500 to 2000 people on the grounds. At ten o'clock In the morning the Mlddle bury band raarch'id ou the gruunds. Then the people began to flock on and by the time the races began there was a fairly large and well disposed crowd of people present. .vlorc Mice The fullowlcg entries of sheep were made In addition to those repotted yesterday : Stock ram and ten of his get, entered by Stlckncy nnd William, Shorebnm; two j car old rain, sime owners; pen of 20ewcs.cn tered by F.

Some of the owners of sheep that had been entered took thilr stock home Tuesday night, as soon as possible after the judges had made their examinations. Only ono day of the fair had really passed over and lho man agement ought to see lo it hereafter that the stock entered cither for premiums or for cx blbilion should remain on tho ground until tho close of tbo fair. The Sheep Premium. There were only a few premiums awurded In the sheep class. The first premium for a pen of 20 ewes, ?20 was awarded to E. N. Blsscll of Shorcham, and the second, $10, to E. E. Stlckncy of Shorcham. For the best stock ram and 20 of his get, -Messrs. Slick-ni-v and Williams of Shore-ham were award- cd the first premium, iu;ino kuuuu, ?u, was awarded tu A. H. Hubbard of Whiting. All nf ilu'sn gentlemen aro members of the Virniont Sheep tsncating association, auu ilmv voluntarily and unsolicited contribu'cd the several amounts of their premiums to the association.
