to continue themselves in power by refusing
to call the members together before January
The majority of the members appealed to the
governor to overrule the ministry, and that fail
ing, have addressed the home government in
England on that subject.
CoUNrY FAR.-Wednesda was spent at the
fair, our observations will be given but briefly,
as the list of premiums, as soon as ready for
publication, will find place in our columns
We regret to say that the meagerness of the ex-
hibition is not we'll calculated to call into play
q very liberal amount of editorial fire. or inspire
very fervid or glowing discr iptiou. The at
tendance we think was not usually full, and al
most every department of the exhibition show
ed an evident falling off
The Dairy Products, which were Of the frst
interest among the indoor commodities, was
good for an ordinary county fair, but less full
than usual for this county. The samples Of cheese
were fine, but nearly all new. Among the COM
petitors were the GIDDNGs brothers, j. NJ. of
Cherry Valley & H. +. of Lindenville. Three
very large and fne looking cheeses, weighing
some lao or $50 pounds, were entered by JAMES
Stone we believe Of Morgan, and more abun-
dant lot Of superior appearance entered by L.
II. JONES, of Lindenvile. About the only sam
pie we recollect of old cheese, was a single
cheese entered by Mr. c. STEVENS, of Sheffield.
BUTTER, afforded but few samples.
Needle ,Oork, Carpets, &c. was about the
only departments that were usually full, and the
grade and character of the samples were very
creditabe.
Vines and Preserves we're very limited in
quality, but apparently good 10 quality, but as
our judgment 10 this respect was not called
in, can't speak e1perimentally.
Fruit, apples, and few pears were unusually
fair and fine.
Vegetables, of which there was tolerable
supply, we're luxuriant, and the show made by
them was refreshing and redeeming. A speci-
men of the egg plant in such perfect imitation
ofthe real biddy product, that any kitchen maid
certainly any of the Bridget stamp would not
be blamesble for taking them for the yeritabe
article.
FIo.uers we're few. The frost had destroyed
most of the Dahlias. Mr. UBELL of Jefferson,
had a few specimens saved from the blight, on
exhibition. The Painesville nursery had very
handsome display of nearly every known color
The usual exhibit of antiquities, of book
binding by w. R. ALLEN Saddlery, Stoves, a
few Inventions a shoe sole cutter, an under drain
plow, dog horse power, printing press, enter
ed by DR.. Clark, of very good design, Ray
NOM Sewing Machine, entered by our neighbor
Dick, and q small quantity of upper leather, cali
made up pretty much the inside exhibition.
The show of horse flesh, would probably be
the more attractive on the last day. As it was
few brood mares and colts, and here and there
a matched team of roadsters were to be seen.
In NEAT CATTLE, There were number Of
superior specimens. Mr.. CHAFFEEs Bull, was ol
course unriyalled, yet there were two or three
other superior animals on the groaud Inmich
cows there were also some very fine specimens
but we saw none to compare with heifer be
longing to Mr. ChalTee, Among the few work
ing cattle, Frederick Beckwith took the FIRST
premium for a pair of most beautiful symmetry.
There were a number of fine specimens o.
young cattle, very few Sl0iae, and several pens
Of the various kinds of sheep.
The natural tendency, we suppose OF the sew
eral township fairs, is to lessen interest in that
of the county This, however should not be
The county Fairs should be continued with in
creased interest, and the reputation and impor
tance of Ashtabula County, should be fully re
Aected by the annual gathering of her products
at one central point.
WIN BENHAM, Of this village, we almost for
got to say had a couple OF buggies on the
ground which took the first and second premi
! ums.
