jawed patent bed stead.' Judging from our
observation, it is of excellent quality, it will
take the place of the old antiquated, wapper-
jawed bed stead, which has been in use a CEN

1 WOOD * CARTER, Of Kenosha-had on exhi-
bition two very superior Cooking Stoves, one
very neat andbeautiful Parlor Stoveand in fact.
these Stoves take rank among the best, which
are now in use-and Mr.. Wood, coming cut in
this way, shows that, although bred farmer he
is up with the best, in perseverance and bust

just started in the Hardware business and de-

Boots and shoes.
| ELY & BALDWIN, of Kenosha had ON ex-
hibiton, large and beautiful assortment of
Boots & Shoes, among which we noticed pairs
of superior quality and manufacture of Gents
French Calf Boots double & single soled which
surpassed anything we have seen of the kind
in point of finish and beauty; also a fine sample
of French Kip Boots, of splendid finish and
workmanship; Ladies French Glove Kid Caters
Congress Caters, Morocco lace Boots Chldren's

r, ARNOLD, of Wilmot-had on exhibition |
pair of Stoga Boots,--we are justified i'm saving
that Mr.. Arnold is one of the best stoga Boot
manufacturers in this part of the State
Flowing Match.
The Flowing Match came off pursuant to
notice, on the second day of the Fair, causing
the geathering ola large crowd of the people
upon the ground, to witness the novel scene of
a blowing match, every individual seemed to be
rampant with excitement and enthusiasm in this
part of the proceedings of the Society
OF the blowing we can speak in the highest
terms--Lyman buttons work, we thought look
ed tptop,and the vegetable matter well covered
up; Richard Davis of Paris, did well, in our
estimation, and the kind of blowing we should
think would be hard to beat r
! Geo. Fowle of Paris and Hudson Fox of Som
ers, plowed i'll amanner perfectly satisfactory
to US, ard we should think evinced knowledge
of the business
Alex. Beath of Bristol, plowed first rate we
thought. tti.. .,-... ..-,
| 5. b. Myrick of Paris his blowing was done
up in workmanke manner. .--
Messrs n. McCommons, Dr. Bourne, Charles
Gibbs, & Don f. Pike, all exhibited thorough
knowledge of the art,-we do not prete nd to a
knowledge of the kind necessary to enable us to
discriminate between the competitors, but for
straightness and eveness ofturrow, the beautiful
manner in which the work was done up, the
workmanke finish evinced so perfect knowl-
edge OF the art, on the part of the operators that
showed plainly our farmers are up with the
signs OF the times. We hope by another Annual
Fair there will be some 80 or 40 competitors in
! the field, instead of some 10 ord2, contending
| for the premium.
Address.
| Owing to the illness of the President DR.
MCCLELLAN, whose duty it was to deliver the
address, entirely preventing him from making
| the attempt therefore by force of circumstances
the responsibility of delivering the Address fell
upon Mr.. VIM ORLEDGE, the Secretary. The
Mass Meeting at Milwaukee took away others
from our city, who had been spoken to on the
subject. The President was thus thrown on his
peam ends and had no alternative but to fall
back on his Secretary, who, much against his
wish, was compelled to occupy position, we
thought must have been embarrassing to him in
the extreme; but ever ready to serve his friends
he mounted the speakers stand and delivered
short pthy address, which his hearers apparent
ly hstenedt to with satisfaction, He was then
followed by Frederick j. Brande, in a short prac-
teal and scientific address upon the subject of
Agriculture. which seemed TO give satisfaction
to the assembled crowd. .it u4af
