surprised by the steam boat Warrior. Black
Hawk (who is represented, even by his enemies
as mild fatherly old lndian,) looked round
upon his helpless women and children in com

there was, also, handsome di play of Butter
and Fruits. The Ploughing Match was scene
OF much lntcfest-there were seven double and
six single teams contending manfuly for the
\ honor Of a premium. The exhibition of Work

and the occasion, and gave universal satisfac
ton.
