there were many articles to which we vi'h
to allude. in simple justice TO the Par,iss
who took % much interest in the soeccss Of
the Fair.
\ gentleman from Siearappa exhibited a
new wa,er-dnwins apparatus, which from
It, position, escaped the notice Of most Of
the reople. IL consists Of two bueke,s.
sustained by metallic strap. 20 arranged on
wheels that while one busk.t rises the other
descsnds to the water The buckets are
filed bya valve In the bottom. and are
mad, 10 discharge themselves, requiring no
further care than 10 simply turn crank.
A screw graduates il TO any depth OF we'll.
IL was demonstrated az the state Fair that
this Was capable of drawing water twice a.
fat a. the cham pup. Four hundred

Manny's Mower also attracted much
notice. II - claimed that ,hi, machine

An article We have never before seen on

Steven. a Sbur,lsa. by the old method, with
cold liquor. The s,dos presented a good
appearance.
Ia agricultural implements, Brown &
B..tcc, aud Ilyr.ey made a good exhibition
OF rlov.. The former have added several
siIs. OF the Glib. plow, enabling them to
fll any order. We leave the public 10 de-
eide as 90 the merits ol the two patterns.
Browns hor.c hoe and cultiyator Is pro

The sleigh introduced BY Mr.. Damon, Of
Backfsli, was an excellent piece Of work.

tia valuable article.
And We must .ay word in regard q the
manifest improvement made in that very
usslul article. rugs All the speeinen'
shown. thr. year. have no, only been Of sI'
oel,su, workmanship. but the patterns wer'
well selected They were credit to TIE
taste and ,kill of tie fair exhibitors. And
generally the patterns Of the quilts were in
quite good taste. IL spa.sins strange that
when a person Is determined 20 cut up and
sew together ten thousand pieces Of cloth
in this form, that some LITTLE time should
not be spent in 80 combining eolors and
forms. az 10 produce a pleasing eject wheu
finished. We have seen quilts exhibited

father In midnight dreams.
Some Of the pictures exhibited were quit,

millinery. Her articles were not entered OF
