This productis likely to prove more valu-
able than was anticipated. We learned .
day or two ago that mill up the valley is
buying the seed Of this crop at q per bushel
and manufacturing from it an oil which il
said to be equal to the oil axprssssA from
fax seed. If the seed can be employed in
this way, it viii prove an immease addition
to our farm crop, for tho gentleman from
whom We derived the information, and who
had sold his seed for the purpose Of express
ing the oil, raised thirty bushels OF it to the
acre.

a; kcene Richards, Of Georgetown, KY, ex-
hibited his splendid Arabian horses, Aokladt,
Massound and Sacklowre, and two Arabian
mares. All the best racers in Europe and
America are said to be derived originally
from Arabian stock, and hence to Improve
the American breed OF horses, il 10 deemed
best to 80 to the Arabian stock itself, instead
of importing English descendants thereof. -
These Kentucky ArAbians we're bred By the
Bedouins. One Of them, Massoud, q rich

ton and power, and is said to be altor ether
one Of the finest horses ever seen 10 this
country.

Lee Csnasy Fair.
skcoSp DAY.

The morning opened brightly, and the
promise OF the dawn was justified in rs
delightful day ne was ever shone upon By an
autumnal sun. At an early hour people were
observed making their way into town, and
soon every road from the country was
thronged with vehicles of every description,
loaded down with men women and children.
The numberin attendance was variously es-
timated, but it was agreed on all hands that
the crowd Was at least 4 third larger than at
the County Fair last year.
As already intimated, the entries of ar
ticlcs Tor exhibition were far more numerous
and their character and quality somewhat
improved, while the entire arrangement Of
the grounds were upon more spacious and
convenient scale.
The show opened to-day with display Of
fine horses in the ring, which drew the crowd
from all quarters to this point of attraction.
The stations exhibited under the head Of
roadssers were, with one exception, of Nor
gan stock, and oil but one or two Of them
have competed for the premium at the County
Fair before.
The favorites on the present occasion were
Munson's Clifford Morgan Junior, and Shows
Flying Morrell. And the opinions of the
crowd we're pretty equally divided, and even
