The Agricultural Fair.

hsSoay, ana thursday Oh last week. "A
was 10 be expected, this season, the dis
play Of Fruits, Flowers, and Vegetables
was very meagre. As the Floral De
partment had hi herto formed one of tn,
chief attractions. the almost total failur,
in this instance, detracted greatly iron
the beauty of the exhibition. In Do
nestle Manufactures, the quantity Of ar
ticles vas limited, though the quality
was respectable. In Agricultural I'm
plements. there was a fair display. Man
ny's Combined Mower & Reaper, Hors'
Power q Thresher, and other Imple
ments were exhibited by Messrs. Reeve:
a Abel. A Portable Mill was ip full
operation grinding Corn, brought by S
D. Adams, of Bristol. A small CideI
Mill or Press, Straw Cutters, Plows
&C., and other articles in that line
which We cannot enumerate, were there
A Portable Steam Engine, which seemed
to us a very useful apparatus for many
purposes, attracted much attention. We
did not learn the owners name. Messrs
Brainerd d Son had a fine assortment o
Edge Tools, OF their own manufacture
When we strolled through this depart,

ferent articles were present. and we can.
not give their names. In Fowls. there
was a fair display. We noticed some
good specimens of White Shanghais.
White Bantams, Bramah Poolras, Chit.
tagongs, &c.
We think at no previous Fair in this
county, MAS there as many good Cattle
TO be seen, as at this. There is an evi.
dent improvement in the quality. The
Durhams seems to be the f~avorite stock.

Cattle, from Rowland, made a strong
team, and were good stock. Samuel
Kennedy, Esq, of the same township,
had his yoke of three year old steers
there, Weighing $500. Three four year

belonging to F. Kinsman, Esq. were
fine animals. Two of these would weigh
about 1000. Also a white two year old

Society had, (as he ought TO have,
some as good stock as was on the ground.

of Windham, Portage Co. There were
many others which were excellent
animals. some of them equally as good
as some which we have mentioned, but
as the names of the owners were not at

them.
Of Horses, W can say the same as of
the Cattle, that The display was the best
eyer made in this county. We had no
opportunity to examine them separately
not being admitted into the ring. and
but few of them remaining on the ground
before or after their exhibition. We
cannot particulsrise. There were seve
raj pairs of matched horses. Those be-

The Bays. belonging to Collins, of Ra-

doubt whether they are excelled in the
