FLOYD COUNTY FAIR.

The Second Annual Fair of the Floyd
County Agricultural Society was held
in St Charles City last Wednesday
and Thursday. We, in company with
our townSmcn, Hon. j. ii. Powers,
Judge Dorc, NJ. b. Taylor, and Shell
don G. Arnold, were present on the
last day of the Fair.
DR.. Frisbic Of Mitchell county de-
livcred the Annual Address. We
were permitted to listen to only par,
Of the Doctors Address, which We
think was very good. The speakers
stand was richly ornamcntcd with
cmblcms Of the farmers industry.
We are informed that the exhibition
Of horses, cattle, mich cows, and
calves was greater than that of last
year. The cattle on show were prin-
cipally natives. The sheep on cxhibi-
ton were very nice. There was one
eve, (mothcr of three nice lambs also
on cxhibition,) the wool of which
measured elcrea inches in length and
was Of fine quality. { small lock of
the wool may be seen at the Courier
olli.e.) Such we think is a specimen
Of the sheep our farmers should intro
ducc in this county.
The vegetable department was well
displayed in every thing that is grown
on farm or in kitchen garden. The
specimens of wheat were of superior
quality. The corn looked well some
ears of the yellow dent variety meas
urcd fourteen inches in length. The
squashcs and pumpkins were the lar.
gcst we have seen in Iowa. The on
ions, bccts, carrots, potatoes, &c,
were Of excellent quality and of good
~ size. There was one half bushcl of
very nice sweet potatoes on exhibi-
ton the first and only sweet pota-
toes we have seen in Northern Iowa.
In fact every thing in the vegetable
department was far ahead of our ex-
pCCtatiOns.
In the dairy department we saw
some nice looking cheese and butter.
In the ladies department every thing
showed ncntncss and taste The COW
crlcts, quilts, table spreads, and in
fact all the nccdlework was charming
to the eye. The oil paintings of Miss
Tucker, Of st. Charles City, were as
natural as life. There were other
paintings there that were beautiful,
but we are unable to give the artists
names.
Our stay in the City was of short
duration, and of course we could MOI
learn all the particulars of the Fair
especially of the ladies' department
as we are naturally little baslful il
the presence of ladies.-Ne,c Hampto,
Courier.

Cedar Falls and Minnesota Railroad.

The Directors Of this road held
meeting in this place last Monday
evening, and it was then decided to
prosecute the work with all possible
dispatch. Work has already been
commenced on this line, and we are
informed by Mr. Onion, of the firm cf
Edgcrton n Co., the contractors, that
they intend to have the cars running
to Wavcrly, Is miles north of Cedar
Falls, earl y next spring, and the road
finished to the State line within two
years. There also seems to be rca-
sonablc prospect that the road, from
the State line to Minneapolis, will be
completed within that time, and then
the line will be unbroken from this
place to st. Paul. The construction
of this road will be greeted with pleas
urc, and aided i'll every possible man
mcr. by the residents of the Cedar Val
ley north Of us, and the road must
eventually be one of the best paying
in the State, if not the best. The
country through which it passes is
unrival'ed any where as an Agricul-
tural region, and this movement when
completed, will inevitably greatly en-
nance its prosperity and wealth. -Cc-

sion which pcrvaded the scene. For
nearly an hour the sound of their
wings could be heard descending
through the branches of some distant
tree upon which they were cndcavor-
Ing through the gloom of the night to
secure footing. The whole scene
was one of those grand and sublime
spectaclcs in nature which lies only
n the silent memory Of the hunter Of
the border.

Hence, camping out, as it is called,
becomes necessity and until rail
roads are extended to our great North
western Granary, camping out must
continue TO be popular. This, when
one becomes accustomed to it, is far
from being unpleasant. With half a
dozen good fellows in company, and
the nightly camp fire, with songs and
.iGsts, coffee aud doughnuts, and the
great star-quiltcd blanket Of heaven
for covering, one must be lost to the
pleasures Of life not TO enjoy it. And
then to think Of the nice things for
the wife and children which the
$3.50 thus saved will bring them,
and the smiles of welcome which will
greet them on their return, and who
will say that camping out docs not
bring its own great reward.
