SCOTT COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
FAIR.
SECOND DAY.

SECOND DAY.
We are glad to say that our antic-
ipations were fully realized, and that
the Fair grounds assumed a more flatter
ing aspect yesterday. Large crowds Of
people assembled at the grounds, and very
respectable number of entries were made
more than at any previous exhibition of the
Society The entries of cattle were not 80
numerous as we had hoped, but what was
wanting in quantity was made up in quail
ty. There were about IS cattle Of different
grades and ages; about 100 horses; Is
swine, and Sc sheep. There were only two
yokes of working oxen on the ground. The
Agricultural implement department was ia
vorably represented. W. W. Skinner 4 Co.,
L. S. Veile 4 Co., Davis, Watson 4 Co., and
many others, contributed towards this de-
partment of the exhibition.
Of farm produce we were sorry to notice
that there was not great variety, but the
articles shown were very fine. We saw
some excellent samples of wheat and other
grain, which went to prove that our crop il
not all bad. The samples Of corn, potatoes,
onions, de-, were very fns-the best We
have ever seen here. And as to garden
vegetables. there was . very fair supply.
though not - much % We could wiah 10
have seen.
The fine arts Hall WAS we'll filled with
representations of the ekin Of the ladies and
men Of the county. Some very ersditabls
nsedleword, ornamental and plain, also
other articles Of home manuhsture werl
quite abundant.
Our mechanics did not make very sx-
tsnsivs show of their skill. Some astislsl

A CRY MISUNDERSTANDING the bills
allowed by the Burlington Common Coun
Gil at its last meeting we see one w. N.
Houseworth for filing sdrs, s3 10.
Not understanding how a city under any
other hypothesis could need the services Of
a sa~ fter, we presume that he must have
acsed in the capacity Of city musician.
Would not it be q good idea for our city
dads" to establish similar Office, and have
the city musician with his saw and file in
attendance at each meeting of the Council
His performances would be quite - intel
lectual as most of the speeches made by the
great enjoined" and would be vastly more
agreeable to the public ear.
