.CouErv FAIR-Wc were enabled to spend
portion Of Wednesday at the fair, and propose
10 give only partial, and birds eye view Of it,
as il appeared on the second day, before some
OF the more important features OF the occasion,
the horse show, for instance, was brought out.
The more prominent aud noticeable departments
Of the show was perhaps the fine display Of
Stock audSheep. These we're pretty full, aud the
specimens decidedly good or course, CHAFFEE's
bull, Clarendon, had no equal, though a very
line animal was present, owned by Esq. BURR
of Dorset. OF two year old bulls there were
several fine specimens, among which our Plym-
outh friend, j p. JENNINGS, had one Of the
very best. Among the 2 year old heifcrs, We
saw nothing tha: struck us 70 favorably as a
red and white Durham belonging to Dr. EAMEs
of Orwell. Among the working cattle was a
pair OF 6 year old hriudles, owned by F. BECK
ut, OF Rene, were the finest and best matched
OF any on the ground but pair OF browns, 8
years old, owned by CHESTER LEE, of Jefferson,
did not fall very fur behind. Among the Sheep
we saw number OF ine bucks, but we're un-
able to end out who the owners were. The
County Treasurer bad pen of clear and Span
ish Crossed MerinOs which it would be hard to
beat. The show of Sheep wns more than US.
uslly full aud good or Stcine, there we're but
two pens, one a single SOW, aud the other a SOW
ami four pigs. or what breed they we're we
did not learn, but We never saw better speci.
mems The call was made for Brood Mares,
but the rain inierfered with the examination.
The show we thought was not over large, or al
tractve. In Fruit the show was good, and for
the most part we'll designated and arranged.
Our friend RAYMOND had Ia samples of apples,
Id Of pears, Of grapes, including the Dana,
and some Of peaches. They were all marked
with care and fidelity, and embraced the best
varieties S. MORSE Of Williamsfeld, had q
fine cabinet of 80 varieties OF apples, very taste
fully displayed, and NJ. F. DEAN, of Wayne, mad
some 80 or 40 varieties. There were others
whose names we could not learn. The usuul
abundance Of PreserUed FruiIs and Vines was
to be seen, enough, certainly to addle the brains
Of the committee, and confuse their tasteing
qualities Brend though sometimes more a.
bundant, has seldom presented as fine samples.
Carpets, Quilts and .NeedletcOrk, in about the
usual quantity, and some looked as If it had
seen every fair since the institution was organ
lied. Plants and FiOtcers flied very respec.
table place in the exhibition. Mrs DEvAN, OF
Morgan, contributed 10 the attractions Of the
fair some beautiful shell-work and shells, and
several specimens of Mineral and Coral. GEo.
HALL, Of course, has no competitors in the
Musical Instrument line, and had one of Bishop
& Co.'s $l75 Melodeons-a jewel in its design
faish and tone. We were much pleased with
display of ingeniorsly turned Wooden Rdre
comprising an almost endless variety of knck.

STEVENS, Of Sheffield, we believe, as usual, took
a premium on Cheese. SMITH WALKER of Say
brook, took another on new cheese, and II. f
GIDDINGs, Of Wayne, another on old cheese
The first premium on season butter, was award
ed, we believe. to Mrs. JAMES REED, OF Jeifer
son. Vegetables we're in fine array, and of The
very best. WM. SEYMOUR, of Plymouth, tool
the first premium on WhedL FToRr, Rye anC
Barley Grain was not in the abundance, whicl
the proliicness Of the season would seem TO
have warranted. Furniture, by the Ducros o
Jefferson, Sddlery we believe, Of Jefferson
few specimens Of farming utensils were anon 6
the articles which more readily attracted oul
attention.
Gov. DENSTsoN addressed the people in the
afternoon, in free and familiar maDUer, but thu
weather was such as TO prevent the large pro
portion OF those present from the enjoyment O
seeing and hearing him.
The ring was in very good condition. e&cep
for the rain, aud among the animals out, NET
fLEroN's horse attracted favorable attention.
The attendance was good, and the collection
Of rather more than ordinary interest.
