ALBANY UKOBTEK. LOCAL XATTEUS. Linn Coi sty F.vu:. The Seventh Annual Fair of the Linn County Ag ricultural Associatton opetred on Tucs- i'pten iher -U i. The. weather ne (lays previous IMu n-t'ii In rain f illing in tortWts on iine' through Monday, virulae pour-down on Monday nt early on the morning of the cloud broke away, the St'T i- Sn .ii. willi n nijr.!H : fiii; one" nwre warmed the soaked earth with his ge rtai rays, and hearts til, before had been sorrowful, were o n e more wade glad at the prospect of splendid weather for the Fair. The rain proved beneficial in settling the dust, making the going much better than last season, and purified and made the atmosphere more healthful and invigorating. For the first day the attendance was largely over average, as the receipts were between ten and eleven hundred dollars. There were also more campers on (lie ground than at any previous Fair. The entries at the Pavilion were rather thin, num bering probtJMy one hundred and fifty. The show of stock, Mich as eows, bulls, sheep, goats, hogs and horses was bct ter than usual so early in the Fair. There were two races in the afternoon: First was single dash of half a mile, running, for" purse ol $oi), entrance $50. to lie added to the purse. The race and money was glveu to Hiram Ablff time 4si seconds. Second was trotting race, - in ' lor horses that never beat three minutes; purse $300. Won bv John Crawford's Joe Teal, in 2.49. The show at the pavilion on ed nesttov heirinnimi to ikiii out exhibi- tors very tardy -will doubtless be an average exhibition.

Yesterday, Thursday, upon our visit in the morning, we learned that arti clea forexhibinon in the Pavilion were coming hi raphlly. The exhibition ol home-work would then compare favor ably with that of last year. In the line of vegetables the show was good, but in quantity was behind tliatot last Fair. We noticed particularly, in lite pavilion, a patent churn, patent mop a splendid thing model hay press, several sewing machines, etc. A huge squash or pumpkin ?) was offered us if we would carry It home we didn't get it. Altogether the pavilion pre sents a very attractive appearance. There was a large crowd in attend ance, which was constantly Increasing. Indications are that today (Friday: and to-morrow will be the big days. All the departments will then lie full, and large numbers, of our people who have been holding Kick for the " big day." will be in attendance then. We go' to press too early to get the result of the races. FAffi Pkooramme. On the Fair grounds this morning at 9 o'clock will transpire the plowing match first premluin lo. second (o.

IlARltisnriiO, Sept. 25, 1S72, Under above date bur Harrisburg correspondent writes as follows: Last week the throng of teams around tlie mills ami warehouse was greater than any week previous. Many of the tanners, in their anxiety to be first at the mill, would start from ' at three o'clock A. M., and f: -o .

Now that harvest la about ended and the fair and other public resorts at hand, there is a tall upon the farmers ; for the expense of saving their crops, j To meet these demands some are eom 1 pelled to borrow the means, or sell I their grain at the present low prices, i Many of these accounts are being paid i in Wheat, delivered at this station, at ! prices from 60c to 75c per bushel. Yesterday we noted tlie sale of 800 i bushels at 75c per bushel. j The receipts of wheat at the ware house, for the week ending September j 21st, were ;f.fil5 centals in store; 32 centals for .Messrs. Westlake & Slmp- son. and 140 centals for Messrs. Beach ' ii Monteith, on commission. Amount shipped by .1. H. Foster A Co., seven carloads, or 1.400 centals. Sorry TIMES. Our big friend, ex Congressmaii Jas. II. Slater, intended delivering a Greeley speech at the Court House in this city on Friday night of last week, and was duly an nounced so to do, but the Greeley Democrats were so "backward about coming forward " that the meeting was postponed to the following even ing. Of course the usual drumming was resorted to during Saturday, and a few of the faithful, together with two ladies and a number of Republi cans, did assemble, and sat and listen ed to distilled Chappaqnackery as it fell from the lips of the noble Slater for an hour or so. Mr. Slater, among other things, said he was not among til - e who accused Grant of dishatmsty, but he insinuated that Oram lacked firmness ! Every schoolboy in the land knows that President Grant, if noted for the possession of one trait of character untie than another, it is for his indomitable will a firmness of purpose aiid-eousisteucy to principle that has given him the success he has at present attained. However, this charge is about as consistent and just as true as any of the various charges made against Our Chief Magistrate by the f5happaquacks. Mr. Slater was weaned too young and leans too much toward his toes to create any great excitement, either in the political or any other circle, therefore we pass him as dead timlier. Advantages of the Railroad. Mr. Ghas. B. Montague, of Lebanon, left his home last Sunday morning, came to this city, a distance of four teen miles, took the nooti train going north, a little after 4 o'clock P. M. of the same day arriving in I'ortland. On Monday he purchased somecight thous and dollars worth of goals, which were put up and shippetlto this point, arriving hre on Tuesday, and on Tues day evening those goods filled the shelves of Ins store-room in Lebanon. This is one of the advantages of the railroad which business men appre ciate. Gnder the old nyt)H it would have taken, at this i-eason of the year, from ten days to four weeks to accom plish the same amount of business. i SUUGICAL.Dr. I). M. Jones exhib ited tor our Inspection, on Tlmrsd ty, a case of surgical Instruments which he had just received, tliat for beauty and finish can't Ik- beat. The ease contains every instrument caneit mr or needed in the most difficult case of surgery, all of which are of the Btawt ijii.ility and finish. It shou'd lie a pleasure rather than Otherwise for ! people to have limbs taken oil' with I such iustyumeilts. However, in these degenerate times jieople will grumble at anything in the surgery iine, no i matter how nicely done. Tomatoes. The bottom lands op- I posite this city seem specially adapted to raising "garden truck." That huge and well-flavored tomatoes can lie produced over then-, we luive proof in a basket of this wholesome fruit, left at our office by Mr. K. H. Wads worth. He has as tine vegetables as i nK grown anywhere, and in tlie line j of tomatoes thinks no one can lay ; over him. Sach Kraut.

They ! hive created much trouble while board ing at the county's expense. - Wasn't on tiif.SI'KKCH. After lis tening to Slater's remarks the other evening at the Court House, H occur red tons he wasn't intending to be understood as making a speech he only got up to spit .' Salve. A new salve, called the Xez Perec Indian Chief Salve, is ad vertised in our columns this morning. Head it. A rough-looking but well-informed farmer, living in one of the northern towns in Wayne county, was once selected;,-a party standard-bearer and sent to the Legislature. Here he da termined to make his mark. and. If possible, become celebrated in history. In crder to do this he must make a speech, so he collected together items of history and science and blended them in harmonious1 concord. Thi done to his satisfaction, he committed his speech to memory ami appeared before the Legislature. As he arose from his seat, another member, not seeing him, commenced talking, whereupon the speaker of the bouse said : "The gentleman from Wayne has the floor." Looking around upon his fdiow Legislators, Jiis courage lail ed, his tongue refused to do the bid ding of his intellect. Finally he stam mered out, "I only got up to spit," and sat down amid a roar of laughter from all who heard it. FkoK M.unk to Calikohma.
