Cousry Fam --Weurtendcd The County Fair
on Wednesday The dlsplay was very fair
one, considering the early day on which y was
held, and The attendance was very satisfactory
Many new members were added to strengthen
and sustain the society The prospects were
considered BY the friends of the society as very
encouraging. The amount Of Premiums runs
up to something over 81 800, $50 (which were
on Horses and $3.50 on Cattle. The display Of
cattle was very good and showed some very uice
specimens Of stock. Devon, and Durhams, with
slight sprinkIing Of native bloods, composed
mainly the varieties Among the number
were some Hne mich cows, and calves. r. +.
FtLLNoRE, Of New Lyme, exhibited Durham
COW and months calf, worthy Of special notice
A fne year old bull, Of the came blood, from
the same town, owned by MERoISE miller, was
a noble animal ABEL GESALD. Of Suybrook,
took FIRST premium on pair Of heavy fat cat
tie, pair of working do, and four Durham year
lings. They were all fine specimens.
HoRsEs were out IN considerable numbers,
and wenoticed some very likely nags
.4gricplturdi Implements were net in abund-
ance. Prominent among the lot was CRosBy's
Tanning Mill and Screeni one Of MASNY's Reap
ers aud Mowers took second premium. A
Cane Mill, entered by A. HOLDEN, Of Geneva,
struck us as admirably adapted to the object in
view It was compact, simple and sufficiently
powerful for the thorough cxpressure Of the
juice
The show OF vegetables was very fine in quail
ity, aud fair in quantity. Potatoes particularly
were unusually good.
Daiyproducts as usual, we're in ample pro-
fasion, and in quality not to be surpassed. II.
F. GiDDrsos, IN common cheese, took the second
premium, and yet he had most Iucious parcel
on exhibition The first premium on English
Dairy was taken by G. TSuNBunY. Butter
was abundant aud superior.
Frti tot course was scarce---a few tolerable
sampIcs'o Of apples pears and peaches were all,

supplied departments in The fairs.

ship. and tasteful design.
.Nredle-,ccYk, both fancy and plain, was in
considerable profusion, but the arrangement of
it, hung up as much Of it was, out Of sight
and reach, offered but little satisfaction to the
visitors.
A good display of domestic carpets we're on
exhibition and spoke well for the attainments of
homs looms.
Var fr4Sss--In this line there were several
specimens and we do not know that any better
ones are to be met with anywhere. We are not
informed Of the awarding ofpfcmums, but know
that Mrs.J. P. JENMNos, OF plymouth, excellS
in this branch Of ornamental work, and that her
skill has added an attractive feature to our re
cent fairs.
Mr.. J. P. JENNINGS added a new attraction TO
this fair, in small aquafian, tile fishes of which
were gliding about with their accustomed ccler-
ity and graceiulncss
GEO. HALL, in the Musical Instrument De-
partmeat had upon exhibition superior Piano
and Melodcon
We noticed some very good specimens'of
Furmiture and a set of Harness, and nnmer-
ons collection Of Pictures by IIAwEs Of Come
Hut.
Bread occupied quite prominent place from
its abundance and fine quality. There were not
less than some forty loaves. Dried and Pre-
Strvsd Fruits we're plentiful, and some Of them
were excellent Canned Fruits, by DAsIp DU-
BoIs as we have had occasion to know, were de-
cidedly meritorious, and took the first premium
In Riacs, mostly current, there were number
of samples, and generally of good quality.
a. w. STEELE. had case of Jeteelry, and
specimens Of Engraving, which readily took the
first premium, lie also had large Clock, for
furnishing which, he receives orders.
Seloiug Mdchiaes.--Of these II. L. DWIGHT
Of Austinburg had two, one Of which made
quite pretty appearance having been hand
somely plated with silver They were Of the
Atwater description, and for cheap, single
thread machine, answer avery good purpose.
In Painting there was quite collection, en-
tered BY Mr.. @. 8. LACY. now stopping at the
Fisk House. The process ia something new,
and the execution is very pretty. Mfr. L. took
tho First Premium on landscape painting, and
the second on faucy pieces.
We have thus attempted running notice of
OF the articles on exhibition. but our time hav
sug been taken up mostly on a committee, it is
necessarily hurried and imperfect. The attend
anee on Thursday we learn was much more nu
merous than on any previous day. The pres.
ence Of Gov. CHASE, who was to address the
Society, as might have been expected. drew TO-
gether a very large attendance.

barn Of ApoIos Kent, keeper of the hotel at
Apboy was broken open and trunk belong
ing to traveller taken from his wagon and
rihed Of its contents, consisting Of s2s in mo.
