NTbc chow was much better yesterday than on the
,,oeeJinr dav. There were accessOns of Fruits, OF
Eowers and in almost every department thlnA l
ssd in NY former letters that had found no SheeP on
Az
Retained though not many, nor Of remarkable ex-
eellepce There was display Of very hne Australian
Wheat in the straw, but not bushei beside oi small
s,ain If any kind Butter reinforced yesterday,
Sut there was not q respectable display for County
F,iy even then; and believe one Cheese Of m.ddlng
ice remained tie sum total In that department 10 the
last The Mechanical Products, other than Agrcul-
turs Implemens could hardly have been less AMI yet
Ls.n ANYTHING while Of Seed Planters, Threshers,
shelters, &c. there were just about enough present
for a GOOD County Fair On the other hand the Catte
and Horses were better as whole than my former
letter represented them though at least onehaf those
entered were OF ordinary II not inferior quality am
mot sure however that fair and honest show Of what
State il doing in the way of Stock, is not more in
strnctve and useful than the display of the very best
only. which tends 10 mislead the observer. OF Jacks
and Mules there was very good display, showing IN
creased attention TO this class Of animals There IS 70
be an auction sale Of Cattle on the ialr ground To-
morrow, which will close the weeks dOings.
Lay Fayette il the focus Of the heavy gralngrow
pp region of the Wabash Valley which has hitherto
devoted much attention to the manufacture OF Whisky
That Valley, from La Fayette down to Terre Hau.e,
is supposed 10 be lees favorable to Total Abstinence
than any other section of the State Yet the ndica-
tons of general and hearty approval Of the Name Law
ryen By the thOufands assembled az the Fair were ire
guent spontaneous and decisive Had vote been TAX
en- ON the Playground yesterday. when Twenty-Five
Thousand were present there would have been al least
Ten thousand majority for the Maine Law A Tenn
rersnce Meeting in tie evening packed the Court
House TO the extent of ts capacity, and many more
tried 10 get in who could not There were few who
drank deeply at the Fair, while the majority drank
nothing that could intOxcate Set down Indiana MS
one Of the next States TO adopt the Maine Law and the
last to abandon il. H. G.
