CATTLE-The Cattle Department did not
come up to former Fairs by any means-few or
none from the hest herds in the State being on
exhibition. There was not much lack of mum.

COW. T. W. Lang, Hillsboro, $50 for best herd,
bull Gar and for cows.
sHEEP-The display of sheep was pro-
nOunced good by judges. Merinoes made fine
show, and long and middle woods better still.
As usual Lorain took full proportion of the
premiums in the latter classes. L. Aston,
Elyria, five premiums, $50; S. Toms, EIyria,
three, amounting to s55; and j. Chamberlain,
Avon two, Sl2. The Aston and Toms South
Downs and Cotswods have taken premiums
this fall at Freeport and Chicago.
SwlNE.-The show of Hogs was fat and fair.
One Suffolk boar, six years old, weighed 500
pounds. There were heavy Leicesters and very
fine Chester Whites in the pens. The premi.
ums mostly went to the hog and hominy re.
gions.
PoULTRY-The range Of coops was of unu-
sual length, and the numerous inmates showed
that the "Hen fever" had not entirely run out
in the Muskingum Valley. Fine Cochin Chi
mas, Dorlxings, Spanish, Shanghias, cross-
breeds, Bantams, India Game, Game Pheas-
ants, Geese, Turkies, Ducks, Peacocks, Doves
etc, etc, werO on exhibition.
! VEGErABLEs-The show in this line was
not as extensive as at Cleveland State Fair,
but Muskingum turns out large and fine speoi.
mems in vegetables. The water melons ex
ceeded in size our Lake grown. The only
Cleveland gardener who competed for premiums
was Mr.. John Kelley, and his not very eTtsn.
sive, but superior collection, bore off nine
prizes.
BREAD, BUTTER AND CHEEsE-The domestic
made bread on exhibition was numerous
enough in loaves, but the quality Of the best
was but inferior, aB we understand really good,
wholesome bread The show of butter fell below
the usual Reserve County or Township Fairs;
and but for Cheesedom "white oak" choeJe
would from necessity have taken all the pre-.
miums. Mr. j. Andrews, of Ashtabula county,
took the first on best lot, and second on best
old Cheese, S25; and Mr.. II. +. Giddings, of
Ashtabula, the first premium on best new, and
| haot Maaara II NJ Dar-
kins & Co., of Lorain, the first premium on best
old cheese, and second on new, SIS. The pre-
MUM cheeses were all large, and did credit to
the Reserve reputation Mr.. W, II. Witter,
of Medina, had number of good samples,
A0RIoULTURAL IMPLEMEETs.--The display in
| this Department was the most extensive and
best we have seen at State Fair. Almost
every kind of labor. saver in;ented was to be
found in the long Hall and its vicinity. The
competition was close. Mowers, Reapers,
Threshers, Mills, Drills, etc, etc, were on ex.
hibition by the best manufacturers, and attract
cd much inspection. Younglove's Star Grain
Drill took the first premium and desevedly so.
This Cleveland invention and manufacture took
the same rank at the Chicago National Fair,
and indeed we believe wherever it has been on
exhibition. Messrs. Baldwin, Dewitt & Co.,
Cleveland, took the first premium on their Hay,
Straw and Stalk Cutter, another valuable ma
chine to the farmer Their greatest triumph
was in being awarded the first premium for the
| Hubbard Mower, and the second for the Hub
bard Mower and Reaper Combined This is a
new machine, but is evidently destined to lead
all others. They manufactured but few last
season, and the tests given the Hubbard by far.

But we must end our notes of the Fair TO-
day. GAINESVILLE, the old City Of tho Muskng-
um Valley, deserves passing word. It comes
nearer to a finished town than we ever expect
ed to find in Ohio. II seems TO be pretty much
completed, except painting This has evidently
been going on TO considerable extent in Sticking
up for tho Fair. And such paint-the reddest
kind Of daub, laid on with broom brush, with
out pencil line 10 the city. And about hall
the buildings, quarter OF century old at
least, have never seen paint except coal smoke.
This gives dingy hue to everything, for Zanes-
vile is a pretty extensive workshop, and has
capital, industry and hospitality, under plain
and unpretending exterior.
PickpOckets look tO Fairs as profitable fields
to CLEAN in, and on Wednesday the POLICE ar.
rested several of the lghtfngeIed gentry.-
Messrs. Gallagher, White, aud others of the
Cleveland Police, were on hand doing good
service. Several handsome amounts changet
hands from honest owners to Togues, notwith
