Farmers Holidays. The Agricultural
Exhibitions at Keene, N. lei. last week,
are spoken of as highly honorable 10 thai
agricultural State. Mr.. Jarvis, of Glare
mont, delivered an excellent address on
the occasion. The display of live stock
was fine, and Of household manufactures
excellent. New-Hampshire is celebrated
for her linens; some samples exhibited on
this occasion would not suffer by compar-
ison with the best irish. High praises,
aud deserved, were bestowed on some sam.
pies Of broadcloth, diapers, kerseymcres,

Large yields of Indian Corn.-At the
Otsego County Cattle Show and Fair,
held at Coopersiown. on the I'd and Sd
inst. the first premium for the best acre OF
Indian Corn, l25 bushels aud 4 quarts
was awarded to David Taft, Of Richfeld;
and the second, for the next best acre,
1901 bushels, to Isaac Lightman, of Lau
reus. There were FIVE ether applicants for
the same premiums, viz: Dan Smith Of
Butternutts, who raised ll3 bushels and
quarts of corn on one acre of land !;
George H. Derbyshire of Hartwick, who
raised III bushels; John Derthick, of
Richfeld, III bushels; Levi Wood, OF
Middlefeld, 95 bushels and quarts and

The Connecticut Courant Of yesterday
contains an interesting account of the
Annual Cattle Show and Fair, which took
place at Hartford on Wednesday and
Thursday last. But it is too long for re-
publication. The Cattle, Swine and 9th
er animals exhibited, together with great
variety of articles Of Domestic Manufac-
ture, are spoken Of i'll the highest terms.
Among other specimens mentioned, we
notice very ingenious article manufac-
tured by Mrs. Sarah Coggswell, from bull
rushes intermixed with woollen yarn,
aud adapted either for floor carpets, or
window blinds. Ii is said to be superior
10 beauty TO any straw Competing usually
brought from China. Mention is also
made of two elegant grass bonnets, after
the fashion of those from Leghorn, by
Misses Sophia and Mary Woodbouse, Of
Wethersfield. That made by the former
was equal 10 fineness to the No. So from
Leghorn, and was sold at auction imme-
diately after the exhibition, for thirty
dollars, to gentleman from Philadelphia.
We had the pleasure last year TO examine
a hat of this description made by the
same person; aud it could but with the
greatest difficulty be distinguished from
Leshorn.
At the PIoughiug Match, the respective
tasks of quarter Of az acre, were per-
formed without worrying the cattle, 10

The total number of deaths this week
ending on Saturday last, as reported By
the sexton was 800; aud those of the
preceding week II. The number of sick
in town, including Hospital patieots, il
estimated between aud 600. This ap
pears an enormous number for the popu.
lation that remains 10 town, all that could
having withdrawn. We hope the fever j.
abating a little 10 violence OF character
hitherto it has been most dreadfuily fatal
almost all the cases terminating in few
days 10 the black CONT.
