Agricultural fairs are, no doubt, valuable agencies for the material de velopment of the country, but we see no reason why they should be turned into race grounds and gambling estab lishments. " Very ofteu they, are the rendezvous of-the. leading gamblers and sportsmen of this and surround ing States, and their influence, espe cially on young men, is demoralizing. Gambling at a horse race is as clear ly a violation of the law of the land as gambling at the faro bank, or keno table, and the fact that it transpires' at an agricultural fair does not justi fy the offense. Many I Christian! men are driven by these vicftus influences from the fair ground, And in many instances these exhibitions are passing under the - control of professional sportsmen. . ; ;j ' A iTloek Duel at amhem Colle&e. Amherst, Mass., Oct. 3. Two students of Amherst College, senior and sophomore, have been suspended indefinitely by the faculty, and seve ral others placed under heavy j de merit marks for participating in a re cent mock duel, in which a fresbman was the victim of a practical joke. This act ( the faculty has created considerable indignation among the students, as no one was injured in the I affair, and their petitions have been universally signed by members or the respective classes from which they were suspendedsking their re turn. 1- , A Brutal Family. As the New York Express remarks, the McGlory family of that city bears a strong 'resemblance to the ( Fro- cuards ot the play ot 'Tne two ur- pbans." A short time since a man was nearly beaten to death in the con cert hall of the male McGloryi and now there comes a story that the wife of this amiable creature enticed a young girl into her house, where she was vilely treated, kept a prisoner at the mercy of brtjtal negroes and whitesland beaten when she tried to escape: " Jl is appeped jp fvr joFK, wiipm ine epRnq oi Afmy 3P ' S vimrcp p.eus, j , n A WJfe Orderlas Her ourteen-Tear Old' Boy" to" put; Arsenlcj " lu Mia Father's Tea. - ' j j : ' A telegram from jVesper,- N. jY., October 3, says: Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hoffman, living near this placequar relled for years. , They hadj nine ohil-, dren. On Saturday the1 mothe'f sent her fourteen-year-old boy to Vesper to purchase a quantity of .. arsenic. She met the boy on the road home! She examined the : poison he had ! ob tained and told him to go home, and if his father had not eaten his supper to put a quantity of the drug ini his tea. If tea was over,, thej boy was charged to put the , poison in his, father's breakfast tea. Te mother then came to Vesper and remained with a relative. The boy, found that "his father had ' been to itea. Next: morning he steeped some xf the arsenio in his father's jtea. Shortly after drinking it the old man was taken sick. He sent for his wife. She would not go - to him. The boy who had given the poison then came for his mother.-' He told her his! fa ther was dead. She started home. On the way she said to her! son, tak ing him by the neck: "If f yon ever say a word about this I'll kill you the first chance I get. They can't hang you, for you're too young. The boy did' tell what had been done, how ever, and he and his' mother are in jail. Hoffman was 6 7. years old. His widow wa3 his second wife.' ! -t- The sanltarr Effect of noutework ITpon Women, j v Popular Science Monthly. - Many of the ills and diseases p'rev alent among women in our' day are no doubt traceable to the jsedentary mode of life so common among them. The progress of modern industrial art has done away with much of j the household drudgery to which women were formerly subjected, and th re sult is, in too many caSei, want of sufficient occupation for needed bodi ly exercise. The fruits of this state of things are strikingly exhibited by' cer tain observations of the late Mr.! Ro bertson, a Manchester surgeon, who, in his practice as a specialist forj wo men 8 diseases, found that in women who themselves performed; all their household work thare was no trace of certain complaints; that these com plaints begin to make their appear ance in women with one servant,! be come pronounced in women who have t wo servants, and worse still with those who have three servants, land so on. lie showed statistically that the deaths from child-birth were four times greater in the case of women with four servants than those with none. . .. . j j Governor Rice, of Massachu setts, has put himself and bis hon ored Commonwealth in a false posi tion by his ill-tempered correspond ence ,-with 'Governor Hampton; of South Carolina, on the question of the rendition of Kimpton. i ; The frauds of Kimpton were brought to the attention of the couits of South Carolina some months ago, and in dictments were found against him on evidence as clear as noonday and in no sense questioned as to J its truth. In this judicial proceeding Governor Hampton took no part whatever. He has not employed his official! po sition to bring criminals to 'justice, except when the mandate of tho law required him so to act; and when the indicted Kimpton refused to appear or trial, Governor Hampton did as all other Governors of other States do under like circumstances he is sued a requisition for the arrest and return of the fugitive from justice. To: all this special pleading tnat was con tradicted by the official record on which, his return was claimed, Gov. Rice gave heed, and he j disgraced himself, his laws and his! Common wealth by deciding to discredit the solemn judicial records of a sister State, and to assume that a notorious thief must not be given up because the officials who call for him happen to be of a different political faith. Governor Hampton very naturally replied to Gov. Kice s extraordinary letter of refusal, decidedly asserting the integrity of the records of his State, and criticizing with dignity but earnestness the grave blunder into which Gov. Rice had fallen. To this reply Gov. Rice has finally an swered in just the inconsiderate; pas sion that confesses bis wrong in every line, however his words may seem to seek his vindication, and he concludes bv a measure of discourtesy ithat would disgrace a en -butler; io vernor, when he declares his purpose to treat Gov. Hampton's letter jwith such contempt as to denyjit a place .a m m a T ww among tne records or nis omce. i ine whole of (iov. Rice's letter is un worthy Of his high office, and it will bring the blush ot shame to every decent citizen of Massachusetts. Phil. Times, Ind. The Only Female RIKon ;. Norfolk Ledger."!)

Goss, Dem., in the Second District - . The Gazette claims that Youne,r Ren., is elected over Goss, Dem.', in the Second Dis trict, and says tbere has been an error in counting. It claims it aa a victory of hon est money and good faith in public and pri vate contracts over tbe scheme of false and slippery money, which many thought would carry into omce any party tbat adopted it. The Democratic ticRet in Hamilton is carried by a majority of from 1,000 to 2,000. At (Jbuiicotbe fifteen out of twenty-three precincts give a Republican gain of 344. The rest will increase this gain. . At Springfield tbe Republican county ticket is elected by something over 1,000- majority. ; . . ; ' AtDavton tbe KeDubhcans probably elect the Sheriff and possibly the Probate Judge. There are indications of a Republican gain on tbe county ticket or over 400. Cincinnati. Oct. 9. Complete and re iable returns from this county give Barnes, Rep., for Secretary of State, 1,641 majority over Paige, Dem. Bulterwortb, Rep., in the First District, has 1,066 majority over Sayler. ' Young, Rep.; in the Second Dis trict, has 1,080 majority over Goss, Dem. An error in tbe count of the latter vote was discovered and corrected this morning. Coujmbcs, Oct. 9. The Republican State Central Committee claim nine Con gressmen, viz: Townsend, Garfield. Upde- graff, Monroe, Keifer, Neal, McKinley, Young, Butterworth. But little attention has been given to the State total majority, but if the aggregate keeps up to the end as it began, there will probably be from seven to ten thousand majority. The Democratic state Central Committee claim eleven Congressmen, certain, viz: Mc Mahon, Lefevre, Hill, Hvrd, Finley, Con verse, iiiwing, Dicsey, Aioerton, ueddes and Warner. Ihey give the state to the Republicans. Toledo, Oct 9. Though the unofficial returns fnm Lucas county and the Seventh District do not materially change the result as telegraphed last night, Hurd, Democrat, for Congress, will have a majority of from 600 to 800 His plurality in Lucas county is about 200 Indiana. , Indianapolis. Oct. 9 4 A. M. The latest're porta -on the Congressional ticket place tbe First -District in doubt. The Democrats elect in the Second and Third. Tbe Fourth, Fifth and Sixth are in doubt. In the Seventh Harmel. Republican; is probably elected. The Eighth ia in doubt' In the Ninth Orlb, Republican, is elected. The Tenth and Eleven tb are Republican; the Twelth Democratic, and tbe Thirteenth Republican. Indianapolis, Oct. 9. The election re turns continue to come in slowly. We have reports from 280 townships and wards, which give tbe Democrats a gain of 1,870 votes. The national vote in tbo same pie- cincls is 7,522, .an increase over the Green back vole in 1876 of 4,458. The same ratio of increase in the Democratic vote in the State will give the Democratic ticket 1,400 majority. Only 21 per cent of the entire State has been heard him. In Marion county the Republicans elect their entire county ticket, which gives them four Representatives. The joint rep resentation in Shelby and Marion counties is in doubt English, the Democratic can didate, is probably elected. In twenty seven wards and voting precincts in Marion county.Hanna, Rep., for Congress, has 472 majority, with eleven voting places to near from. The District is still in doubt, both parties claiming it. Indianapolis, Oct. 9. In the First Dis trict Heilmao's election is claimed by the Republicans, but is not conceded by the Democrats. In the Second and Third Dis tricts Caff and Becknell, Democrats, are elected. The Fourth District is doubtful, but New, Democrat, is probably elected. In tbe Fifth District the Republicans claim Brown's election by 850 majority, but this is not conceded by tbe Democrats. Ine Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Districts are doubtful. In the Ninth Districtin six coun ties, semi-official and estimated majorities give Orth. Republican, 231 majority, with fourteen counties to hear from. Both par ties claim the election, la tbe Tenth Dis trict Calkens, Republican, is elected. In tbe Eleventh District Crogill, Republican, is elected. In the Twelfth District Cole- rick. Democrat, and in the Thirteenth Dis trict Baker, Republican, have been electedT In the thirty-eight townships and wards heard from, tbe Democratic - majority on the State ticket is 4,660, being a net gain of 2.798.

The county officers are in doubt. -The Legislature is largely Democratic. Parkersburg advices show that Wilson, Democrat, for Congress, carries that county bv 200 malority. ; All of tbe Democratic ticket is elected except the Clerk of tbe Circuit Court : Cincinnati, Oct. 9.

No storms nave occurred and tbe damage from rust and worms has been! slight. The bottom crop was well fruited. The middle was injured in certain localities, somewhat, by rust.

The sea island portion of the State was visited by a succession of equinoctial storms, and has suffered more or less from the caterpillar.
