: There's no reason why this couu.
ty should not take 'creditablo position
in regard to the culture Of fruit We
have observed throughout tho county
that The orchards appear generally to-
be old and fast decaying. Until within
few years, only few persons have ia.
ken any pains to revive tho old fruit
yards and restore the fruit. We arc
glad lately to perceive that some are re.
establishing their orchards oul,ivating
nurseries and improving generally in
this most profitable and pleasant branch
Of Horticulture. There is no mistake
but that the raising Of fruit for the mar
kcts can be a very profitable business.
We hope to see general movement in
this line. Among tho Exhibitors of
fruit at our County Fair we were pleased
with the show of Mr.. II. G. Hunt of
New Haven. Ho exhibited nine varie-
tics of crtpns w : tho Waite Sweet
Water, Lyman, Clinton, Isabella, Diana,
Northern Muscadiue, Concord aud Re.
becca. The last is a new sort, very lus-
cious to tie palate and pleasant to the
sight.
- A trot for premiums came off at
the Fair Grounds on Friday afternoon
last The contest was between Harvey
Chapman's " Apple Jack " and horse
called Trustee" from Ticonderoga.
Apple toddy proved little too much
for Trustee, best two in three, with two
dead heats, and received tho prize. The
next day another horse of Mr.. Chapman
popularity known as BILLY Button took
a buckle with DR.. Gales chestnut horse
aud was beaten. Tho best timo was a.
bout three minutes.
No man in these parts need any
longer subsist on lime brick dust, or
pulverized gypsum. The Mill of PIrrs
81 SHELDON furnishes tho genuine -four
of the wheat, pure, sweet and light COM
plexioucd. We saw some specimens at
the Fair, which looked good enough to
eat.
