The best Fair We have attended this year Was that
Of Franklin County, held lat week at Malone Frank
In is the north County Of our State or would

Tie on the ground at either Fair II will be other wise
few years hence. 81. Lawrence is level. fer,ile
county, and, though cold, rapidly increasing, under
system Of Dairy Farming, in population, wealth. and
rocuc'iveness. Her product for 1860 must exceed by
heavy per csniage, that Of any previous year.
