THE ELECTION.
Returns arc in from all the principal
precincts, showing Republican majorities
ranging from fifty upwards. Philander
Patterson, Democratic candidate fir sur

of from 0 to 125. Hobson's majority
f r County Commissioner will be small,
and it may require an official count to
determine between them. Albin is 13
ahead, with .South A-nd, Salt Creek,
Stove Creek and Elm wood precincts to
hear from the latter three precincts be
ing largely Republican. llob-on is about
GO ahead of Simpson so far. E. L. Reed
is ISO ahead of Cosa to far, and the en

over Ramsey will reach near 1WO. A
very light vote was polled in many pre
cincts tut little more than half the vo
ters being out. The dissatisfaction with

Fine display of fniits Mr.-. J S Mor
ton. In presenting this rej-nirt your com
mittee feel that they cannot with pro
priety allow this occasion to pass without
congratulating the Society and the citi
zens r.f Nebraska ' generally upon the
magnificent display of fruits produced on
Nebraska soil. When it is remembered
that a very few years since, the assertion
was common that Nebraska could n-jver
f-ccome a fruit growing country, we
have reason to be proud of t lie denial
which this exhibition gives to the un
founded assumption. Apples, peaches,
pears, plums, cherries, trajx s, quinces,
and profuse varieties of thesmaii fruits,
atlest the adaptability of IhhIi soil ani
dim. tt e to the production of the choiest
fruits. As evidence uf this, we submit
the following list of apples on exhibition,
to which was awarded the first premi
ums for the best and largest variety, viz:

By the published premium list, your
Committee are only authorized to award
a single premium to the ""best and lar
gest varieties of apples," but wo feel
that other lists besides the one to which
tho award is made demand special notice.
1'ntry No 4 is equal in quality to entry
No. 1 2, though not in variety. The ad
mirable manner in which the fruits iu
both lots were arranged demand our un
qualified praise. Each variety was sep
arately labled, making ihe labor of the
Committee comparatively easy of pcr
fornnnee. snd furi:i".h?nr an example
of order an 1 neatness worthy of imita
tion by 'future exhibitors. The same
praise is due to entry No. 5.1, a collec
tion which attracted much attention
from the beaury of its uriangeiuent.
We cannot h?ro omit to notice the
fa-.t that durinsr our examination, the
e.vwr-.icnt r!-i"t.' an t rcmaiK O ;e size
of the fruits v. (re the sui.j.'et of continu
al remark by ail spectators, and especial
ly from those representing the older fruit
grow nig States. Those most familiar
with fruit culture and orchard products
were the warmest in their expressions of
admiration at the display. A single ap
ple on exhibition measured in circum
ference 16 inches, and weighed 29
ounces; and pears and peaches of aston
ishing size shared with it the general ad
miration. One point of excellence which forced
itself Qpon our attention, was th-i appar
ently health' condiditiou of all fruits on
exhibition. Absolute exemption from ali
disease was the almost universal rule.
The leading charaereristics of the ditfer
emvarieties showed a very near approach
to perfection. The excellences were ful
ly present, the ordinary defects hardly,
if at all, noticeable, and this fact leads us
to hope much and fear nothing in regard
to the future developments of the fruit
growing power of the soil and iimate of
our young ai interesting State, and the
ste,Lllttr;jt nresented warrant us in reconi-
meu linr to our amateur horticulturists, !
j further experiment, not only in testing
and improving known varieties, but fur
ther, in trj'ing what Nebraska fruit men
can do toward stimulating the inventive
I j lowers of our new soil in the production
' of new varieties.
This perhaps may assume more impor
tance from the tact noticed by all who
have submitted our home grown fruits
to the practical test of the prdate. .At
the exhibition, as well as during the
present Fair, it was noticed by gentlemen
from New York and other States who
were present, that in flavor and other
qualities for the table Nebraska fruits
were much superior to those grown in
the older States. This is especially true
of apples, and to a very great' extent of
pears and grapes, if not to the range of
IruiU generally. .
But your Committee do not mean - to
say that all varieties of fruits may be
grown here successfully Under . present
circumstances. Tho modifying influences
in climate, of settlement, of cultivation,
and of the planting of forest trees ujon
our prairies are yet to be exerted, ami
the day may come when the result of
these great powers may be felt in givincr
hardiness to fruits now known as "half
hardy," and making the cultivation of
fruits now rejected as too tender for our
latitude eminently successful ; but for
the present the farmer will be satisfied
with securing fruits which have been
roven by actual trial to " be entirely
lardy and adapted to our peculiar cir
cumstances. Ijest the cultivator of the soil, who
wishes to set out ujwn his farm or home
steae a small orchard, may be"misled in
the matter of selocting his fruits, your
committee have taken considerable pains
by enquiring of those present engaged in
fruit culture, to ascertain what fruits
may be relied on for general culture, and
we here append the results; All of these
have been tested, and those marked
"Hardy" may be relied on as having so
far borne the tesL

From the Cambridgs fill.) Chronicle. Sept. 22.
Our readers will rcmemlier that we
published on the 14th of July last, the
notice of Josiah Dow, publio administra
tor upon the estate of Aza A. Lee de
ceased, and accompanied it with an ed
itorial paragraph stating the facts of
Captain Lee's death in battle during the
piece of Knoxville; his long residence and
respectable position in this county: ihe
mysterious reserve that be had always
maintained here with reference to his
former life and connections; and the di
leina i expecting the disposition of his real
property under the laws of Illinois, con
sequent upon the absence of any known
heirs to the estate. . '
The consequences resulting from the
publication of that paragraph were more
important than we had anticipated, and
strikingly illustrative of what far-reaching
importance a newspaper parti graph
may be, even through the medium of a
local journal in the interior of a different
State.', '-' - . . - . 4- j
Among tha prtpcrs that we send to the
East is one to the father of 5Ir. Patten
of this village, who lives at Canadia. N.

pening to know a man whose sister's
husband named Lee, had mysteriously
disappeared many years previously, he
called the gentleman's attention to it.
The man coireTonded exactly. Inves
tigation followed: 5Ir. Dow. the admin
istrator, wa written f; and from what
they thus learned, ihe parties at the
K.i.-t were satisfied that the deceased
Captain Lee was the long lost husband.

and was esteemed, we are told, fir intel

The deserted wife, left without means,
had made her way back to New England,

mills. Now, however, by our fortunate
fuiblication of the facts in relation to hi j

of the finest Jacks we have cur seen
was on the grounds, and of swinf there
was quite a number of pure breeds, em
bracing the Berkshire, Suffolk and Ches
ter White. The farmers of Nebraska
are well convinced of the utility of line
stock of all kinds, and their advancement
in that line will fully equal any of her
sister States. Her remote position from
breeders of fine stock, nud the want of
railroad facilities, appear to Ik? the only
barriers against procuring them as soon
a- desired.
It lias been for only two or three years
pa-.t that any of our northwestern States,
excepting Illinois, have presented a lar
ger display of Agricultural Implements
ami Farm 5Iachinery, than we saw en
the grounds of the NcbratLa State Fair.
Whatever others r.iay think Of the ca
pacity of that State for abundant . pro
duction from her soils. th? implement
dealers hae rightly judged that her
needs r.re as great as other States. jn
tiroportion to her jiopulation, and thru
ler farmers have intelligence cnoneh to
use them, and ability to pun hase tluin.
A whole day was consumed in (he trial
of plows, cultivators, See., on the ample
ground? within the enclosure, whieh re
ceived close attention from the tanner-'.
There was a very creditable display of
works of .-kill and art, principally made
and contributed by the ladiux-of "Nebras
ka ; and of cabbages, squashes, potatoes,
corn and other' seeds, there wrc a f ur
variety, and in sizo and quality equal to
those produced elsewhere. In f.u.t there-,
wtts nothing exhibited in most i t' the
departments meistioned which would not
compare Pivorar.uV with siun.'ar cxltthi
tions made under more favorable cir
cumstaci s.
The lending department of th" lir, or
rather the one in which n;o t i :' r-'-t
v.-; s manifested, wa.s the iVuit exhibition,
net heeausi it wa rf :t''y tb n o-t iirf-or-t:int.
