Kenosha tribune & telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1856-1859, 1858-01-28


A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago: il wandered thro' the twilight
feebler than star; it died upon the ear
But the printer takes it up where it
was living there III the silence ike Il
wounded bird, and he equirS it anew
with wings, aud he sends it forth from
the Ark, that had preserved it, and 1t
flies on into the future with the olive
branch OF peace, and around the world
with melody, like the dawning OF a
Spring morning.
Annual Fair of the Agricultural Society of
the County OF Kenosha.
The first annual fair OF this Society, under
the presidency Of the Hon. Franklin Newell,
was held on the 25th aud 26,h of Sept. 1857.
The weather being extremely favorable. We
had very large attendance, perhaps the iarg-
est congregation OF people ever seen III the
County.
There was some falling off in the number of
horses on exhibition, accompanied, however.
with an increase in numbers and quantity OF
alnlos: evey other animal and article fer which
premiums are offered by the Society. Fruit on
exhibition botn in quantity and quality, far ex
coed anything ever seen here before so witt! veg
etables.
The Ladies turned out apparently ca masse
and for quantity. quality and beauty, the "rtl>
ces presented for competition by them so far
exceed anything of the kind ever seen III keno>
sha County, as to be beyond comparison.

Improvement in this department of the Far
The animals that have come under their notice,
being certainly far superior, as whole, to any
ever before presented for competition at our
meetings. One Durham bull, belonging to
Hutchiugs of English Prairie, McHenry Co. H..
we consider very superior animal, and did our
rules permit, would gladly recommend
premium TO be awarded to him, as it is, your
committee must limit themselves to a high com
mendation OF his merits and recommt I'D him 10
the notice OF Farmers generally.
Your committee found two bull calves on the
journal belonging to Messrs Strong N Reas of
'Somers, that were brought in too late TO enter
for premium, which your committee highly com
mend
