Nt even the oldest settler re- members any storm or spell of bad weather of equal duration. To the officers of the Agricul- tural Fuir it was punishment of the severest kind; to the many hundreds who came to sce the Fair, it was a great disappointment, For the better supply of the stock, cte., on the Jair-Grounds, the water from the reservoir was conducted there “in an iron pipe, which gave great satisfaction. On Tuesday night some per- gon broke tle pipe in two, and nearly drowned out a small farm, as tho water flowed with great force all night. No clue bas Dbeen obtained to the perpetrator. Our livery-stable keepers, hackmen, omnibus- men, and cxpress-wagon men have suflered grat disappointment, too, on account of the bad weather, as none of their modes of convey- ince have been required to transport passengers 1o the Fair, the roads insome places being al- wpost impassable. At all previons Fairs they have done a thriving business. ¥ 1BE FRENCH COMMISSIONERS OF EDUCATION. At the Just meeting of the School Board a resolu- tion wae passed unanimouely to invite the French Conmissioners of Education to Milwaukee, and to extend to them the hoepitalities of the city. Su- perintendent McAllister was instructed to make wcitusble arangements for their reception. Mr. Mcallister has eent the invitation, and the Com- ‘missioners are expected next week.

While the trial of Bishop Onderdouk was in progress and when the animus of J. C. Richmond was shown, one day he was coufronted as he left the court room Ly an old Yorkshireman, a Sexton, 100, and who_aid to him: **Richmond, so sure as God punishes the guilty and the bad and rewards the goud, £o sure you'll get your pay for this. You'll never die in your bed.” Richmond alladed to this prophecy while in this city in a conversation with the writer, and_wondered whether it would be realized. ‘The Sexton of St Paul's tried hard to persuade the - Wardens and Vestrymen agalist engzaging Richmond s Rector, bt without avail. TheFree Church of St. Panl founded by him—afterwards All Saints' Church— lasted buta short time. until it degenerated into & livery-stable, far which purpose it is now used. “Ilie next and Jast Kector of St. Paul's was the Rev.

Mr. Brainard, who was chaplain for Bishop Armitaze, has been in the city for a few daye. Mr. Brunard was the gentleman who. in All Saints' Church, on & Communion Sunday, turned to the table andstated that ** they were now bread and wine, but when they shall have been conzecrated by the pricst, they become the real body and blood of Christ.™ ~1t was this expression of lis chaplain, who stood not three feet from Bishop Armitage when he made it, that commenced the controversy proper between the High and Low Churchmen here. 1 may add here that T am credibly informed that the Rev. Dr. Falton will not accept the call to St. Paul's Church. I have not learned the reasons yet. AORE ITENS.

They will have to compete with_three heavy and old-established mills here, the Jewett Sherman Company, the J. & G. Flint Star Spice Mills, and the Crocker Coffee and Spice Mills.

Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. RACINE, Sept. 16.—Another week closed of monotony and weariness, and your correspond- ent is scratching the oceipital ridge of his cranfum for something to fill the weekly epistie, auprofitable scratching though it mey be. With precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little and there a little, he will try to dispel the blue streak of discontent plainly indicated on every countenance since the wet spell com- menced. Old Sol scarcely peeped for 10 days until Friday, and all this time the aversge S‘f-l?rl!- kecper stood in his doorway with eges lifted heavemward,—not inwatehful prayer, butwatch- inz for the first hopeful sign of a break.in the fleeting dlouds. The roads are ankle-deep in mirc, the gentle frog has cither sought tne better land or been drowned out. The summer season camc to an end like a thunder-bolt, and caught the Romcos and Juliets dangling their dainty limbs over the pier, in*the evening, or calmly taking in the dimensions of the Cupids around the fountain-boein in East Park. Now these happy days have unceremonionsly passed as shadows away, and with them thie merry notes of the bull-frog the nightly caterwaulings also grow fainter and less enthusiastic, while Romeo gushes on the lee side of the gate, wondering why the old [man cannot sce the necessity of a fré in the parlor ‘* THE UNIVERSITY OF TITE NORTHWEST.” Racine College, lately endowed by the Bishops of the Northwekt as o University, etarts off in the new collegiate term with even more attering pros- pecta (han ever before. hanges have taken e 2y, and many familiu faces among the Facuity has gcp:u‘led. y'l'hn ,n‘EV: arrangement for the coming year is published to- day for the first time.

A thousand Lind wishes will follow the cosy couple as they jog along life's pathwuy together. s A PALSE LIGHT. Racine has had heaped upon her the degredation of many misdceds of her great men, but now the cup of her sorrow is running over. It is whispered that the Captain of the ill-fated schooner Dolphin, which went ashore here last week, mistook a re head looking froma window on the bluff for the pier light, and, in making for the supposcd harbor of refuge in that fearful gale, ran_ his vessel high and dry on the protections. ~Uncharitable people will insist that the false beacon was raised to catch the unwary skipper and establish new breakwater tim- bers. Can this be truc? ‘THE COUNTY POOR. Th steictares made in last Sunday's lesuc npon the miserable treatment received by the poor of this county were upon further examination not in any light exaggerated. The wretchedness and filth of the Poor-Honse would bring a cold shudder upon the Australisn savage. It is further known that the Board of Supervisors are in & great meas- ure responsible for this wretchedness. The sys- temoof letting ont this institution to the lowest bidder cannot_be condemned too atrongly. Think of a S350 contract to take care of a lot of poor im- Decile cretures. These penurious, hard-fisted Grangers look _upon this contract s's remarkable fcat in economy. They pay three Commissioners $300 each per yearto eee that the instractions of the Board are ‘strictly carried out. Here are worse than thrown away to gratify some one's de- sire for ofiice, while haif-a-dozen misérable wretches wallow in their own fithin the very chambers, and their bedding is alive with vermin; themselves nearly naked for the want of any cloth- ing. Wil the saintly members of our churches who monthly throw in their odd cents to send flannel petticoats to the heathen of the tropics remember the worde, **'The poor ye have always with yon,” and lift o finger that this disgrace upon our county may be blotted out? Is there no way to make those responsible change places with the inmates of the County Honse? Years ago an intelligent young lady filled a high position in our best socicty, Her home wasamong the finest that adorned Main street. Asage crept upon her, she was cast off by her friends and rela- tives, perhaps not withoat some just cause, A few months ago she died {n wretchedness in_this same County Poor-House.

Spectal Correspondence af The Tridune. KenosaA, Sept. 16.—The annual fair of this county opens next Tuesday, and will continue for three days. Extensive preparations lave been made by the officers of the Agricultural Society to make the Fair a success in every re- spect,—and, judging from the indications thus far noted, it bids fair to go beyond the most sanguine expectations of those who have the matter inhand. The Kenosha Fair-Grounds are Jocated s half-mile west of the city, within the inclosure known as the Drivine Park, and are _without an ecqual in this part of the State. Ample accommodations haye been provided for everything that is to be on exhibition, and the additions made to the different buildings last year will provide space sufficient, so that none heed Thesitate to enter articles for fear of want of room. Another at- traction of the Fair will be the races, which are to take place Wednesday and Thursday. The track is & fall mile in length; and will be put in fine condition for the races, provided, of course. the weather is propitions. The last two weeks of continuous rain has had 2 dampening effeci on the ofiicers and Directors of the Society, and their visages have lengthened considerably in consc- qguence thereof. ‘The warm rays of 0ld Sol, how- ever, have dispersed the storm-clouds, and like- +wise their frowns, and now they are joyful. As this is the Centennial year, a special department is reserved for articles that have been in existence 100 years or more, and all persons having such are enrnestly desired by the Committce to enter theee articles for exhibition. The premiums offercd are higher than those of last year; cousequently a er cxhibition in all depaftments may be looked for. THE NEW EPISCOPAL CRURCH EDIFICE, or rather the first story of il, has occupied a con- epicuous piace in this city for more than two years, With no prospect, scemingly, of ever being inished for the purpose intended by its builders.

WAUKEGAN., OUR COUNTY FAIR. apecial Correspondence of The Tribune, ‘WAUKEGAR, Sept. 16.—The season has again returned when it is customary for the human family to assemble and view the big pumpkins, squashes, and other vegetables that the indus- trious Grangers have been allowed to harvest after a careful tilling of the soil, and for this purpoee and others incident thereto the Lake County Aegricultural Board will, on Tuesday, Wednesday. and Thursday of this week, hold their twenty-third annual fair at Libertyville. The premiums In all departments are quite lib- eral, and in advance of former years.

THE BOARD OP SUPERVISORS, with their nsual promptness, have been in_session during the weck condacting the county’s business in such & way as to maintain the excellent repnta- tion that it hos hitherto borne—with those having bille to be paid. The Committee on Public Build- ings reported in favor of renting Pheenix Hall for the pnrpose of holding court for one year. Several saloon-keepers were granted licenscs to keep dram- ehops in the connty. ~ Sixteen thousand doilars was Jevied as acounty tax for the present year. , _ TIMELY ARRIVAL OF THE SPIRIT. Thé fact was protty generally known that for some time past the Baptist Church of the city, or rather the memnbers thereof, had becowme so terri- bly demoralized as it were that no pastor would re- main any length of time. _There was a painfal ab- sence of brotherly love and unity of purpose. There was no definite cause assigned for such a condi- tion. Numerous imaginary causes, however, were kept continually prominent. Affairs instead of harmonizing speedily grew worse, and, about two months ago, prominent officers were asked to re- sign _their respective positions, and_ no plausible reason assigned for such a courec. This, of course, met with considerable opposition, which was soon followed by strife, and, as & re- eult, the parties were *‘‘bounced” and the offices declared vacant. Voluntary resignationswere then quite namerous, and candidates to fill the positions were painfully few. A large proportion of the members withdres their attendance and support, and thus thines ran alung until last Sunday, when notice was given from the puipit that, wherens, certain member« werc conducting themselves contrary to the rules of the " Church, 2 meeting would_ be held on the following even- ing (et Monday evening) to prove the charges against eaid members, and exclude them from the church-roil. Now, all buve heard of riots, indignation meetings, etc., and on_that Monday evening #s Tz TIIBUNE Teporter was scated in that business mecting he was forcibly impressed d |, with the strong rescmblance to the character of the meetings referred to above. Each and every indi- vidnal, as he or_she entered the room, cndeayored to be composed 2s poesible, but it was plainly visible that *‘ritious indignition” was burnini within. _At the time stazed the meeting was called to_‘‘order,” and a_motion made in accordance with the_object of the meeting. All enzuged in considerable ** back talk" except one or two, who, after caln_consideration, duc deliberation, ‘and careful examinstion, instituted o _°‘rezconing power” by calling attention to the fact that it was not only nsciess, but _sinful to the estreme, and exhorted the brethren to shake hands and work “in umty for the upbuilding of the canse. At this interval there was a general breuking-down, and the scenc thatfollowed was ‘WITHOUT PRECEDENT in the religious history of Wankegan; there was a unanimous desire to reunite, and a general hand- shaking was in order, which effectuslly buried the Tatchet of irritation. All charges of misconduct were withdrawn, and a glorious revival of the epirit was thercupon witnesscd. A o result, the Daptist Church will, for a time-at least, stronger than ever before. Well mby the mem- bers now sing With one accord, **Rejoicel Re- joice! The promised time bas come.” There will be preaching both this morning sad evening by the Rev. J. P.

The gathering was on Mr. Fred Berry's account, as he was to leave for schiool on the following morning.

THE PAST WEEK has furnished absolutely nothing for the Lake View chronicle, and socially, politically, and criminally the register has persistently re- mained ut zero. Only the ceaseless drip, drip, drip of the rain for five tedious days, followed by twoglorious ones of radiant sunshine, during witich the' very country-side seemed to laugh with the revulsion from its lachrymose experi- ence._ The principal views of interest in the town have been the mud-tinted pools standing along the Green Bay road from Diversey to Belmont avenue,—moist monuments to the en- gincering skill displayed on that bete noir of wayfarers. One ray of hope for that locality comes with the aunouncement that the Board has notified those intercsted to lay their sidewalks to bridge over the chasm, and. if it is not done soon, the aathorities will undertake the job themselves, and charge it, 1p. The Water-Works lot has been inclosed with a fence, and its shifting sanas covered with a thick coating of biack soil much to the advantage of the machinery, which was sutfering from their sharp action at the prompting of stray gusts of wind. Sn- pezintendent Gurnee keeps his'little domain in ap- ple-pie order, ahd it is a clean and pleasant resort for those who wish to see a_preity piece of ma- chinery.

The builder of these pumps did a good plece of adyertising when he pat them in €0 near a Jarge city.

The allowance at present is less then that of the Chicago and Hyde Paek police, and S10 per month taken from it will put the voys on half- rations. A petition. prompted by personal mo- tives, was in circulation some little time ago for the accomplishment of this reduc- tion, bui was uever presented to the Boord although it probably suzzested the matter. There have all along been thore who complain of the town police, becauge tacy arc not always able to_show work done for their pay. These brilliant individu- als have an original conception of the functions of olice, expecting thern to be feeders to the Town frroasury fnstend of o preventive fofce for crime. Tue former Police-Captain, who ended his - Lake View career by shooting an inotfensive man, wis probsbly their bean-ideal of un oficer.

The preliminary examination -of Mr. Merril Ladd, which. was postponed from two weeks ago, was set. for 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Shortly sfter that homr Mr. Ladd and Mir. Hooke, representiug the prosecution, visited Justice Currey’s office, and a continaance for one week was granted by agreement. The fact it none of the witnesses o either side were present showea that the continuance had been previously agreed upon. The reasons of this course can, of course, only be guessed at. Itis known, however, that Mrs. Ladd returned a few days ago from the East, and it has been stated by her fricnds that she succeeded in obteining a part of the funds necessary to make up Mr. Ladd's indebtedness to the village, and has a good prospect of obtaining the rest. 1t'is not thought that Mr. Crane will ever bring his case against Mr. Ladd to trial. Mr. Ladd has been examined by the attorneys of the creditors, in the presence of a short-hand reporter, and acopy of the examination has been placed on file in the Assigmee’s oflice for the inspection of creditors. The examination covered all the business transactions of Mr. Ladd during the last half-dozen years, and showed that there had been n very Jarge depreciation in bis assetsin that time.

THE NORTHWESTZi:N UNIVERSITY. ‘The fall term of the University opened. Wednes- day, and the work of instraction has commenced in earnest. The mew students are finding their places and beginning to get settled in_taeir new uarters, while old_ faces arc again to_be scen in their accustomed haunts. The attendance is in- creased, and oflicers and students alike are prepar- ing for the hardest term's work of- the year. Not- withstanding the severe work imposed upon all the classes, the buse-ball men have already com- menced the work of selectingand orzanizing a nine, with a view to rezaining the silver ball and the college chsmplonship, if possible.

A namber of the schol- ars reside ontside the district, coming from neigh- boring towns along the road. Mr. O. E. Haven, the Superintendent of the public schools, deserves great credit for the success of this undertaking. THE 5IG DITCH.

The streets now are almost impaseable, and the ditch is full of water, with no chance of finding an outlet, apparently. TEMPERANCE. ‘The absence of ail salouns from the villagqy the prohibition against selling liquor within four miles of the University, and_the refined and_elevating influences for which Evanston is widely distin- guished, have naturally combined to QItract s res- idents many earnest temperance workers, Anoth- er nstoral result s an _active temperance orzanization. The Woman's Temperance Alliance wiis_organized March 17, 1874, and became suxiliary to the State Temperance Gnion the fol- lowing May. According to the records of the Secretary, Mrs. E. H. Raymond, there are abont 50 regular members of the ** Unlion, " and nearly 600 signatures have been attached o the total-nb- stincace pledge of the Alliance.
