Ntr York state Fair.-The first day was
rainy one The second and third, fine weather
and enjoyed with fine relish by the thousands
and tens Of thousands Of the friends of agricul-
ture from the Empire State, and from all parts of
the country. The preparations on the ground
and at boarding houses we're ample, and to the
entire satisfaction of visitors. The show of
horned cattle, especially Of improved stock, was
a rich one, and exceeded our most sanguine ex-
pec,aiions One team of six foot, deep red
working oxen, Of thirty cattle, attracted much
attention, and merited, as il received, general
applause. Fine specimens OF Devon, Ayre-
shire, lierford and other foreign stock, Of Bulls
Cows, Oxen, Heilers and Calves, were much ad.
mired as the committees and visitors passed The
well arranged AMI neatly kept pens aud stalls in
which they were located The Mechanics and

the exhibition of skill and industry, were all well

filed with fine specimens Of skill, taste and i'm
provement. OF horses Vermont had the honor
of presenting the finest specimens. Old Black
Hawk and his progeny Of stud horses and colts,
to the number Of some thirty or forty from Yer
mont, "took off the shine" from many horse
from Now York and other States. The old
horse, and two of his colts, one eight, the other
four, and all three of them beautiful blacks with
glossy and shining coats were more admired for
their beauty and symmetry of form, their speed
and bottom, than amy other three horses on the
ground. Take it call in ALL" the New York
State Fair was a grand affair, and reflects credit
upon its members and managers, and upon even
the Empire State itself y.

Plain Talk for Freesoilers.

The Woodstock Age discourses as follows
we clip the beginning and end OF long article :;
at having been pretty concusively settled
that the old wing party IN Vermont which has
so long been m the ascendeucy, will find itself
without majority IN the coming Legislature,
speculation begins to be rife in all quarters as 10
the disposal OF the various offices to be SIZED by
that body. The relative strength of the demo
Gratis and the wings, It IS presumed, VIII be
nearly the same whilst the " balance of power"
as it is termed, viii be in the hands Of some
twenty five or thirty freesoilcrs. In this situa-
ton Of affairs, it is very difficult 70 determine,
or even to guess with any degree OF accuracy,
what NAV be the result Of such political TRAN
gle when brought To bear upon the selection OF
candidates ur offices 1t is well understood by
the whole world that the freesoil party Is a
tradinr party that it stands in the shamblcs
ever ready to be knocked down to the highest
bidder, and that 1t cares not at whose hands II
ckes out little piunder, or at what cost Of con
sIstencY It Is procured. With this fact in view
1t becomes a question Of importance how the
democrats elected to the next Legislature SHOULD
conduct themselves with regard To the interest:
/ and honor OF Their party in this matter.
- II has already been announced, aud -cvel
/ before the result was known, by telegraph To th.
/ city papers, from Burlington, that the Democrat
were to have the Governor and tie froesoer
/ the e. :. Senator, and tins suggestion has beer
/ followed up with a zeal both at home am
abroad, by n certoin class Of the press, whic
would almort satisfy an outsider that such a
arrangement had actually been fixed upon. Blu
it will perhaps be unnecessary for Us to So
more at tins Time, as VIC intend TO say more bc
fore we get through with this article,) than this
that those who have come to any such cor
cluson Will find they have recknned wthot
their host" prcsumug as We do, it will be take
for granted that no democrat will ever lend h
: aid to the election of United States Senate
who will not give his cordial support to the aC
nInistraton OF President Pierce and the doc
trines of the Baltimore platform. ] his shoul
be distinctly understood at the outset

she has been, shall suffer the damnlng disgrat

stock Mercury twhig) seems to be opposed to
any arrangement between the wings and free
soilers. Perhaps no arrangement will be requir-
ed but if there is, further explanation will be
advisable Do the Woodstock gentlemen want

do they want DISCRIMINATION of the government
1t is possible, to say the least, that without
some yielding of party ties-some occommoda-
ton to the necessities Of the case--there can
neither be any organization of the Govnrnment

MANCHESTER, Sept %, 1853.
Al - minutes past O'Clock TINS morning the
extensive Delanc Print Works IN this city
we're discovered to be on fire. The fire was
first discovered by Mr.. J. p. Lord, the agent
who saw the light from his house on the oppo

he found that the fire was in the tray Room a"
tlhe room where the gray cloth is dried,) which
is in the centre Of the main building. This
room IS very dry, having for nearly seven years
been kept at 2yO' Of heat nearly all the time,
Mr.. Lord Immediately entered the mill closed
the doors between the ware rooms and the
Printing department, and let on the whole head
Of steam under pressure of so lbs. to the square

the main pipe IN the centre Of the building,

Death of Calvin j. Keith, Esq.

We have a sad duty to perform this week. IN
announcing the death of CALVIN j. KEITH,
Esq, Of this village whom, We may now re-
peat, the readers of the Waterman are indebted
for the very interesting letters from Europe, pub
lished during the year past. Mr.. Keith was a son
Of the late Hon. Chapn Keith Of Barre, and a
lawyer by profession lie established himself
in MS profession at Montpelier, and there resided,
until about 1888, when, in the way his profess
sion, he became attorney for the heirs to large
estate in Louisiana, which rcponsible duty he
discharged to the entire acceptance Of all con.
cerned This led to further and highly success
ful employment in New Orleans, where Mr.. X.
spent part Of every year, until he retired from
business with handsome fortune and made the
tour of Europe. A few weeks ago, he returned,
apparently more healthy and vigorous than usu-
al but on Sunday the 18th inst, he was attack
cd by a rheumatic fever and he died on Satur-
day morning, the 23l. Mr.. X was a sagacous
aud accurate man in his business-an honorable
man, whose integrity was never questioned
aud withal friend indeed to all his friends
We do not know that he had an enemy. Though
not a member Of any church, he was a regular
attendant at our Oldest and liberal contributor
we believe to all. This community feels the
loss Of worthy citizen, and many mourn the de-
parture of faithful friend.

Still Another Outside Movement.

The Lowell Mass Patriot suggests the Hon.
Daniel Kellogg as one on whom the locos and
freesoilers can unite for Senator, Thereupon
the Woodstock Age throws this brick;
The remarks Of the Patriot, in general, are
undoubtedly correct, but as to the Hon. Daniel
Kellogg being an uneSceptonable democrat"
We think the democrats of this congressional dis
tact, who have not forgotten his strange and
as yet unexplained course towards the demo.
cratic party in relation 10 ms nomination for
Congress one year ago will be entitled to the
benefit OF a doubt upon this point. If the course
best calculated to throw the democratic party
into confusion and aid the election of the wing
nominee makes a man an unexceptonal demo-
craft" then Judge Kellogg is that man. We
hardly think our Lowell friend Is cOnversant
with Vermont politics, or he would have named
some other man, If he felt himself called upon to
make a nomination. Woodstock Age.

have reason 10 believe that the rayages Of the
disease among potatoes will not be as extensive
as was feared at one time. Although some
fields have felt lis effects more less there now
appears to be cessation Of lis progress, and the
non-appearance OF the "dry rot or the decay

II would be curious subject for inquiry, and
interesting, to ascertain what are the causes of
the great dissimilary IN the politics of Vermont
and New Hampshire, contiguous as they are in
territory, and Inhabited by similar class of peo-
pie. Both States supported the old federal par
ty under the administrations Of Washington and
Adams, and both became democratic under JEFF
ferson. But in 1912 Vermont voted with the
democrats for Madison, while New Hampshire
went with the federalists for De Witt Clinton !;
both States supported John Q. Adams but since
1929 the two States have not voted together for
President, nor have they acted together in Con.
gress. VIII some Vermont or New Hampshire
politician investigate this matter, at this time,
when there is general breaking up Of parties,
and "reminiscences of politics and public men
are becoming more interesting than ever ?-.NtC
