FRIDAY, OCT. IL, lSJ5.'
Third Union County Fair f:
HarlletOn, Oct. 4 s 5, 1855.


We were unable to attend the Fair ila't
week. until Friday-the last day lie
beautiful sun and mild air.we. found aided
in drawing tbither an immense assemblage
of people-not as many as at Lcwisburg,
but more than at New Berlin-from our
own and neighboring counties, such a
crowd as Hartleton never saw before.
The citizens of Hartley, had prepa-
red a good Yard for the use of the Soci-
ETY., a short distance from the town, and a
covered portion, in one corner of the en-
closure, for the smaller articles Of display.
This portion was uncomfortabiy crowded,
most Of the time, and those who may pro-
pose grounds another year, we hope will
give more room for articles of show.
Albert B. Worse, ESQ, officiate1 as Re-
cording Secretary, for entering the articles.
The number of articles, in some depart
ments, was less than last year, in others
increased.
In Fruit, the contributions of Mcssrs.
Dale and Waring, Of Center county, and
Jas. D. Chamberlin, of Buffaloe, deserve
special notice. There was large amount
of Bread and Butter, principally from
Hartley, which from appearances to a
hungry man were worthy Of more than
one prize each.
There were, as was to apprehended,
comparatively few animals from the River,
the distance being too great to drive with
ease, and consequently Hartly, Limestone
and West BufTaloe had the best and larg-
est contributions in those departments
generally. The influence Of the Fair in
that region, we doubt not will be highly
salutary.
In the department of Grain-Corn and
Wheat cspecially-several persons who
attended the New York State Fair at e.
mira, day or two before, declared that
we excelled anything exhibited on that
occasion.
The receipts at the door were handsome
and the financial condition Of the Society
is good.
No liquor was known to be sold in the
township, aud We saw but one or two per-
sons who appeared to be under its infu-
encc. There was some warm feeling in
the afternoons at the discussions of County
Seat, and in the Railroad meeting and
had there been the infamable match Of
liquor then applied to the abundant mate
rials, we should probably have had many
"free fights. Really, from the way that
concourse of people conducted, we could
not see any necessity for the use Of intox-
icating drinks.
