count of the Farmers Fair Of the State
Society. Here tits:
The great Farmers Festival for 1852, in
the State of Vermont, took place at Rut-
land on the first, and second and third days
Of September. A few days previously to
the fair there had been a coplous RAIN,
which washed up the trees and grass, aud
giving all vegetation fresh and lively ap-
pearance, and at the same time moistening
the parched earth SO as to make it pleasant
under the feet
Addresses we're delivered on the first day,
by VIM S. King Esq, Editor oflhe Journal
Of 4 agriculture, in which he spoke eloquent
ly of the importance Of more systematic
mode Of husbandry, and enforced his text
by many well drawn illustrations and on
the second day, by Mr. Seward, member
Of Congress from New York.
The arrangements for the Addresses, the
exhibition Of the stock, implements, floral
exhibition, domestic manufactures, for re-
ireshmeuts and for Witnessing the move
ments of the horses, we're good. Some 3C
acres were enclosed by high fence, with
entrance gates at convenient points in this
enclosure was large grove Of noble rocb
naples, in the midst of winch the cattle were
quietly reposng, and in which pens io
sheep and swine and the Mechanics anS
Floral Halls were erected Water wa
freely introduced, provender was plenty, an'
the green turf or the clean straw forming
couch, there was as pleasant a scene Of qule
and conten,ment as one will seldom find a
mong the ruminalors. Within this delight
full shade there was also higher order q
enjoyment men, women aud children, al
in holiday attire, had released themselve
from the busy cares Of life, and were reap
ing rich harvest Of pleasure IN the attTac
tons of this festival. Here, a group c
sialwart men, sons of the mountains, graz Ell
discussed the surprising merits OF their "a
yorite breeds of sheep, swine and cattle, o
boldly pronounced on the elegant action an
high metlle of their rampant steeds; Their
in floral hall, ladies examine articles OF fin
texture aud skilful workmanship, wrougl
with exceeding patience aud care, and PROV
ing that the graces are not strangers IN th
household where utility seams to be the pre-
siding genius and there, in that sequesiere
spot, where the breeze plays with dark curl
and the sunlight touches hllully the CLOWN
cheek of comey maiden and the though
iul brow of him who sits beside her-the'
is delightful part Of the ceremonies "n'
mentioned in the bills" But we will ne
obtrude there. May the pure air of heaVe
chant anthems over their heads in the TOT
of the old naples, and The huuerings {
their leaves be in consonance with III
hearts that hutler beneath them. We pa'
on.
