Walker, This case ‘Was yesterday moved on before Judge Barbour, by prisoner's counsel, in the absence of Judge McCunn, Mr, James F, Morgan, counsel for the complainant, objected on the ground that Judge Barbour had no Jurisdiction of the proceedings, because the warrant had been issued by Judge McCunn and return made to him, and that all Seoosedings under the warrant must be had before Judge McCunn; that he (Mr. Morgan) had argued on the previous day all of the objections which the prisoner’a counsel had now muae, and he did not desire to Waste the time of the Court in rearguing the sume. Judge Barbour decided that, inasmuch as the war- Fant had been issued by Judge McCunn and the re- turn made to hinfand a motion argued which was still undecided by Judge McCuun, he (Judge McCunn) ad exclusive jurisdiction over all proceedings un- der tie warrant, Prisoner's counsel also moved to dismiss, on the ground that the moneys received by the prisoner Were coliected in a fiduciary capacity, and that Judge McCunn had no jarisdiction to issue the war- rant. Mr. Morgan argued that it appeared upon tne face Of the papers that the prisoner Was einp.oyed by tke plaintut to ship the goods, but not to receive the ds thereof, and that, therefore, the fiduciary mn did not exist. Prisoner's counsel also moved that the prisoner shoul! be discharged on bail, whch motion Mr, Morgan also opposed as being in contravention of fecuon seven Of tne Stilwell act, which provides Bhat the oficer issuing the warrant alone has the Tight to take @ recoguizance.

MAYOR'S OFFICE, During the past week the Marshal's department of the Mayor’s Uflice has assumed somewhat the ap- pearance it wore just before te advent of warm weather.

It set the example which has been followed by agricultural societies the world over in discussions and the awarding of premiums, The New Engiand Fair ts held in con- nection with the Maine State Fatr, tne oMcers of the latter having planned and perfected all the arrangements and conventences which the former ts now enjoying. The firet agricultural society in Maine was established in Kennebec county in 1787, It was never incorporated, however. The first incor- Porated society in the province of Maine was the Winthrop Agricultural Society, incorporated by the Massachusetts Legislature tn 1818 The society held its first cavtle show in 1829, and in 1832 1t was called and became the Kennebec County Agricul- tural Society. The New England Society was or- ganized in 1864 and held its first exhibition that fall at Springfeld, Mass.; and then successively at Con- cord, N. H.; Burlington, Vt.; Providence, R. L., and last year at New Haven. ‘The exnibition and fair this year derives pecullar interest from the fact that our neighbors across the Canadian line have con- tributed a large amount of valuable stock, and also becanse the Governor General of the New Dominion has honored the fair with his presence. The presi- dent of the New England Society 13 George B. Lo- ring, and of the Maine Society, Seth Scammon. The former society, with other officers, has nine trastees from each New Engiand State, The fair was formally opened yesterday, in the Forest City Park, by a meeting of tue society at which Colonel Needham, Secretary of the New Eng- land Society, in the absence of the President of the Maine Association, read & speech of welcome, and to which Dr, Loring responded in fitting terma. He congratulated the members upon the opening prospects of the exnibition, and said that never had the members been calied upon to sitin judgment upon a collection so large and varied as that which 1 now submitted. Referring to our neighbors across the border the Doctor observed that the West- ern verge had sent its contributions to join with the East in a pleasant rivairy; and he hoped that the farmers Canada had sent would prove to be the pio- neers of more intumate relations, ‘This last seutl- ment was received with applause, and its signif- cance was duly appreciated by those of our neigh- bors across the line who happeued to ve present at the meeting. The grounds are located about a mile from the city, and the means of getiing there are divers and in some instances original. Vehicles of every de- scription haye been pressed into service and the owners of ood nags are reaping @ harvest at the expense of visitors bound on seeing all there is to be seen and bearing all there is to be heard. The sum of twenty-five cents will suffice to transport a person from the heart of the city tothe park. And Portiand itself is putting uch money iio its purse by the fair. All the railroads and steamers bring full loads eactt trip; the hotels are overflowed and the hospitality of this people, which is proverbial, is belug taxed.

The perfect urrange- ments of the Maine state society Aave much to do with this pleasant state of tuings. A glance at the secretary’s books shows over 3,000 entries, 1,500 of which are of stock. A visit to the stails and pens reveais tue tinest caspiay of horses, cactie and sheep ever seen in New Eagiand; and the display of agri- cultural impiements, under a Mammot tent, ie very creditable, and the interest of the farmers, of course, centres around these features of the fair. ‘The cattle oR some forfy stalls, the sheep tity-elgut pens The former collection 18 good, and the iat cattie are prodigious.

Tt 1s no easy task to be a chronicler of the fashions at this season of the year. The fasiionable world ls scattered, enjoying invigorating ‘sea breezes or de- lightfui mountain alr; some content with the quiet cain of country life, others seeking strength, “drinking the waters” and participating in the varil- ous gayeties which usually characterize the lovely places noted for their health-giving waters. When itis remembered that la moue 1s supposed to pro- vide a different styie for each, and even that that which is appropriate for one watering place is not “the tung” lot another, we are sure our readers wiil endorse our opening sentence. ‘to be truthtul we must admit that most fancifal and eXaggerated costumes are seeu; out equaliy truihfuily may we adirm that we real lady avoids exaggeration and eccentricity in dress, aud some of t.€ most elegant toliets are not only the simplest, but the least costly. 1t 18 @ well-uacerstood int that far more dependson the make and general tints!
