Saratoga Springs-.No. 9.

EDITOR FREEMAN There is much said about
the Medical qualities of different Springs. and
many actually suppose that Congress Spring
water IS the great panacea for whatever disease,
whiie the lact is, the Empire Spring is far supe-
FLOR to it in Medical excellence.
If the Empire Water is properly used and
regularity in diet and regimen is observed, any
person OF almost any disease may find relief,
and in many instances permanent cure. 1t
is utterly astonishing how this water will effect
the human system.
Many persons who come here ignorant of
the erect OF the water, apply to physicians for
advice and aid, which is ten times worse than
paying money for that which is not bread
The business of physicians is to act in such a
manner as to secure fee, not to cure the ma
tent. The tendency of the use of the water
of those Springs is to remove obstacles to healths
and then leave nature to restore the boon de-
sired. America is famous for habits of intern
perance, for excessive and earnest action. for
sensuous pleasure for voluptuous enjoyment.
and needs Il great natural infrmarv which
may wash and cleanse the Nation from its ten
thousand abuses.
Saratoga contains about 1000 people, who
are mostly engaged to supply the wants of
those who stop here for pleasure or Medical
aid
During the summer season, about 3 900 fowls
ara devoured each day, with all the other yarie-
ties Of meats and vegetables. Surely the peo-
pie here must be carnverous.
Again, there is about | 900 colored persons
the most of whom are poor, ignorant, and de-
graded, owing to the unfavorable circumstan-
ces in which they are placed. Efforts should DO

Lamoille County Fair.

The Annual Fair of Lamoile Co., Agricultu
raj Society was holden at Stowe on the Doth
| inst
The day was fine and the attendance large.
In all such Shows the Exhibition of Lire Stock
may be considered as of first importance, both
as indicating the taste and judgment Of own
ers, and the adaptation of different sections to
the Stock interest The Show of cattle at this
fair, we think has scarcely been cxceled at any
Fair of the season.
Other departments of the Fair were creditably
sustained
In the Mechanical departm should be
mnetoned the Carriages on exhibition by M.
H. Cady, of Stowe. Perhaps any word of
praise would be superhuous as the notoriety OF
his work is already extensively secured. 1t is
difficult to find the requisite strength and du-
rability, combined with such elegance of Style
and Finish, as is manifestly secured in these
carriages.
By the display of Fruit, Vegetables, and
Dairy products, it was quite evident that the
people of Lamole Co., and of Stowe in partic-
ular, can be in no immediate fear of staruation
if pumpkins, squashes, and cheese of nearly
hundred lbs, weight and other products in
proportion, can be considered as preventives of
such a calamity.
The Ladies department was also worthy of
notice, and would convince Que that there is
much skill and labor exercised by the ladies in
this vicinity, in the production of the many
articles which 60 to secure home comforts.
1t is to be hoped that the people of Lamoille
County may exercise an increasing interest in
their Annual Far. The great advantages
arising from the annual gather of the citizens
of County, to compare the products OF the
year, are to obvious to need rehearsing.
County Fairs are more practicable, and of
more actual benefit to the people than State
Fair. There is more unity Of interest, and less
trouble and expense attending them.

Agricultural Fairs.

We are pleased with the promptness of our
Reporters and the general interest of the people
in the several Fairs just held, and taking advan-
tage Of a dearth of political news, we give a
large space to their reports. OF one article on
exhibition at the Washington County Fair we
desire to speak more at length than is done in
our report 1t is a pen and ink sketch entitled
" The Lords Prayer executed by Miss Amanda
R. Davis, poor, selfeducated girl of Roxbury.
Miss Davis has had many difficulties to contend
with, and we are surprised that she has accom-
plishcd 80 much, The piece is described as an
illustrated execution of the Lords Prayer with
o pen. 1t is in ornamental letters, with por-
trait of the Savior near the bottom, and on
either side is Bible supported by an eagle, and
an angel turning the leaves. The ten Command
ments are arranged around the Prayer, while
the eleventh and the Golden Rule, with two
stanzas from her pen cmbellish otherwise vacant
spaces The stanzas are as follows.
Whence did this wondrous, mystic Art arise,
OF painting speech, and speaking to the eyes?
That we by tracing magic lines are taught
Both how to color and embody thought.
Since in its flight, though swift as eagles wings,
The Pen commands and the bold figure springs
WHILST the slow Pencils discontinued pace
Repeats the stroke, bnt cannot reach the grace
The whole is surrounded by beautifully-dc
signed and most perfectly-executed wreath o
flowers, and the fitting of birds and insects il
seen among the leaves We wish that ever,
person in the State could see it, and we hop,
that the fair intelligent artist will meet a sue
cess well deserved by her patient industry.
We need not add that the large space givel
to the reports necessarily excludes much othe
matter, nor suggest that the Freeman is thi
week an Agricultural paper. We have an ex
pectcd report OF Lamoille and Orleans Countie

Caledonia County Fair.

This Fair was held at st. Johnsbury last
week. The Boston Brigade Brass Band were
present, and was it is stated, one Of the most
attractive features of the Fair.
The number of oxen on exhibition was quite
small-much smaller than usual However
there were some fine cattle on the grounds. st.
Johnsbury had thirty yoke of oxen in one
string.
We noticed young cattle, cows and calves,
sheep and swine in considerable numbers. Mr..
j. A. Gould exhbiteda calf six months of age
which weighed $50 lbs.-a very nice animal
but by no means the only one there
Mr.. A. E. Parks exhibited some three and
four years old cattle, that did one good to look
upon. A pair of very handsome four years old
weighed 300 lbs, ami one three year old steer
weighed 1850 lbs These cattle had never done
any work, and of course were in better trim
than oxen that had worked all summer. As it
was, they suffered nothing in comparison with
the Kentucky cattle in the pen by their side
and there were but few judges of cattle on the
grounds but what gave the preference to Yer
mont stock.
As was announced last week, the Fair Ground
Go. introduced some very fine western cattle into
the Fair this year, for the &rmers of Caledonia
to look at. They were mostly three years old
steers long bodied, long-legged, snooth-hair-
ed cattle, looking much like our Durham stock.
They were really nice lot of steers, but wheth-
er they were any better than our Vermont cat
tie we leave the farmers to Judge.
Floral Hall was really beautiful. The busy
hands of many ladies and gentlemen had made
it look like gallery of art Great praise is
due those indiyiduls WIG gave their time and la
Dor 50 freely, in fitting up the building in such
beautiful taste.
The second day Thursday, was devoted to the

The main feature of the Fair was the exib-
ton Of Cattle, comprising principally Oxen, of
