The FAIR.-For us to describe the Fair
as something unknown, would be simply
absurd, as every body was there. But
would it rot be well foi us to talk matters
over little, and refresh each others mem
ory.
We were forcitly reminded of our first
Fair, and the display in various depart
ments in contrast with the present. Either
the Cattle or Horses of the last, were alone
worth all shown at the first. The entries
ii both these departments were larger than
ever before. In Horses particularly, there
has been a marked improvement in the last
few years. From the very common stock
of ten years ago; to the present, when Bel
County m ight compete with the State, the
change is SO great, that ofitself it is worthy
the arduous efforts OF stock raisers.
But while SO much is doing in this
department, surely we stand in our own
light, by not giving more attention to the
Improvement of Cattle. There is at present
more room for an effort here than any where
else. A little attention by the enterprlsing
of each neighborhood, would do much in the
cause. In three years we might work a
complete revolution. Farmers of Belmont
should make it their pride to have the finest
cattle. The display of Cattle was the best
ever shown at our Fair.
There was a good show OF Sheep, mutton
sheep seem to, hold the prepOnderenee.

GHollouay'S Ointment and Pills
These potent remedies constitute mate
ria medica in themselves, for there is no in
ternal or external disorder controllsble BY
medicine, for which the one or the other OF
them is not positive remedy. Eruptions,
tumors, serofula, scurvy. cancer. mercuria.
diseases, asthma, rheumatism, sore throat,
gout, droPsical swellings, ETC., subside and
disappear under the action oft Ointment.
and IN cases of dyspepsia, dysentery, sick
hesdoche, diarrhea, liver complaint, piles,
costiveness, debility, and other complaints
originating in the internal organs, the Pills
produce the most astonishing results.

Hogs were scarce There were a few
very fine ones however. In looking at them
we were reminded in contrast of the long.
legged, long-nosed, slab-sided, fence-break.
ers, that could eat through corn-crib, and
come out SO slim that they would be as hard
TO find as needle IN hay stack. Such
hogs are still common in some places. A
feet dog is generally in company to chase
them out of the corn field after they have
torn down more than they are worth.
We are surprised that farmers will ever
keep such stock; especially when they can
better themselves.
There were few Geese; Turkeys. Chick
ems, ect., on exhibition, but not half what
might have been We do not remember to
have heard a Shanghai crow during the
whole Fair, and it was dali without them.
The Halls were generally well filled,
Farmers Hall particularly was fl!ed 10
overAowing. Floral Hall was curiosity.
1t was constantly crowded. Every one was
anxious to see, and all loathe to leave
it. Fruits, flowers, preserves, fancy needle
work. and the fine display of paintings, each
added share to the fine show. We were
struck with tie beauty and
taste of pyramidal boquet, got up by the
almost inimatabIe hand Of Charles Barnard,
Of itself il was a show.
Taking all things together we certainly
had the best Fair ever held in the County.
Although the weather was very disagree
lble. The people were in attendance in
;ruwds. In fact we doubt whether the crowd
was ever SO large at any preceding Fair, as
t was on the last day.
The Officers and Marshalls deserve much
praise for their un,iring labors to make COM
,lete their arrangements.

ERNEST, only child of Alfred and Mary Kirk, ageC
three years.
"And ye mourn the loved, departed,
With bursting heart to-day;
Mourn that he the gentle hearted
Passed like some bright dream away.
He was ''lent TO thee---not given,'
And in childhood's messy path,
Angels have The earth tie riven,
Shading DER thy household hearth"
And thus the spirit which is gone
Is but absorbed in glory s blaze;
In bearning brightness burning on,
Though lost unto our finite gaze
There are. who watched it to the last;
There are who can forget it never;
May these, when deaths dark shade is ;ast,
Partake with joy its light forever.
