Washington County Fair.
The Fair, at this pluce on Thursday and Fri
day, of last week, was, on the Who'll. yer
creditable one for the County. The display q
horses, for the breeding of which, to the dsad
vantage of other valuable agricul tural products
we fear the feeling has now got up almost to
faver heat, was doubtless the finest ever befor
seen at any one of the County Fairs A fin
span Of yearing colts belonging to j. M. Rich
ardson of Waitsfeld and sired by his BlcI
Hawk, which died nearly Il year since, were OBJ
iects of universal admiration. The display O
neat cattle also, we are doubly gratified to say
was an unusually good one, both in respect t.
domestic and foreign breeds Some of tn
Durham calves were as big as Calcutta cows
and the cows-well, they were as big as COW
ever ought to be, and beauties into the bargain
The sheep were not very numerous or vari
Gus, but respectable in quality. There werl
on the ground, also, some fine hogs and pigs
among which were conspicuous pair Of SUI
folk pigs, which according to the account OF
the owner, NJ, NJ Graves, of Northfeld hay,
been living on next to nothing, and got fat al
that They weighed 237 pounds each, and We
should say, If the term were permitted to be
applied to that despiscd, but Indispensable brute
that they were most beautiful animals. The
show of vegetables and fruit was not remark
able. many kinds of the former, and almost all
il, Inv inri.
ties of the season. Nevertheless, there were
some good and interesting specimens, such us q
parcel of potatoes raised by Mr.. Ormsby o
East Montpelier, from the ball and brought tt
perfection in four successive paintings. They
resembled kidneys, but were larger, and ~
good and even Of better quality as we know
for we hooked one and baked it.
Marshfcld, which never tires, sent in also b,
It's HOLSTERS some notable ripe pumkins. Th
dairy products as usual were good We als
noticed large tub Of maple sugar made b
that crack sugar maker, Erastus Wheaton, 0
Barre which was enough to make an Adolf
ZIONIST sigh that there could not be onough NOR
such made here to save us from being depcndan
for our sugars on slave labor.
At two clock on tho last day of the Fair
Rev. Mr. Lord of this place deliveredan addres
which was quite spirited affair, and WAS re
ceived as something rather extra for u ministc
who is supposed to know so much more abou
the growths OF the soul than those OF the soil
1--WE understand that Mr.. Lords address will b
publishcd) After this there was u horse tro
at which several prizes were competed for an
won-onc of SO, by horse owned by D'
vd Lucey of Waterbury, another of $l5, b
the Joslyn horse of Waitsfod, and the largcs
500, by the Morgan horse and Il grey mare
both of East Montpelicr, their time being 25
each, and the prize divided between them.
The awards Of premiums were then announce
and the people, several thousand in numbe
Departed evidently gratitied at the Fair an
the fair days they were lucky enough to have
in.
