 Mir. Hiram Dean, living just over the line in Canaan, left his house as usual, early on the morning of Friday last, for the purpose ofmilk- ing his COWS. Not returning as was expected, some one went to ascertain the reason of his prolonged absence. His milk pail was found short distance from the house, but no milking had been done. His family became alarmed, and rallied some of the neighbors to search for him. They succeeded in tracking him to Q swamp short distance from the house, further than which, all was uncertainty.
 The report that a man was lost" spread rap idly, and large company engaged in search for him, but without success until on Sunday, when he was finally discovered in a secluded place in the woods, mile or two from his home. He was alive, but in a sad and suffering condi- tion. He was in deranged state of mind. Falls Village.
 The Cattle Show and Fair of the Union Ag- ricultural Society came off according to an- nouncement on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of last week. The local paper has little or nothing in regard to it, (of course.) The follow ing we have from reliable correspondent.
 The grounds of the Society are located about one-fourth of mile south of the R. R. depot, and perhaps three-fourths of mile below the Falls in the Housatonic river where they have some eighteen acres inclosed on three sides with a permanent tight board fence, and the remaining side is protected by the river. The buildings for the convenience of the Society and exhibit ors consist of ticket office and rooms for the committees near the entrance gate, and two cheaply made buildings near the center of the feld one for the exhibition of Horticultural, Ag ricultural and Dairy products, and the othe' for General and Domestic Manufactures. Pens for Sheep and Swine, and good half mile track complete the conveniences.

 rver and it is fitting place for farmers with thei tu,sro o,lr %oo L.Isx The cattle show on Tuesday was hardly worth the name, few pairs of good oxen, and a small show of other neat stock and a few Sheep and Swine comprised it all.
 Wedn: sday was very rainy day and but lit. tie was done, and the unfinished programme for this day was completed on Thursday, which was bright day and the attendance was as good as that on Tuesday. It was devoted to the exhi- bition of Horses, declaration of premiums, and the annual Address by Mir. Samuel Scovill of Cornwall. The address was listened to with much interest, and gave very general satisfaction
 The showsof fruits, dairy products and bread was very good, and the Ladies' 'ixins and fancy work-not bad. The general arrangements 1 of the Fair were admirable, and the programme was promptly carried out by the officers of the Society and the Marshals, which was vast im- provement upon last year,
 Taking it in all it's departments it was hardly up to what the farmers of this district ought to do, and your contemporary whose office overlooks the grounds will hardly be able to convince the most imaginative that it much exceeded some of our State Fairs But the people enjoyed them selves, formed new acquaintnnces, and had good time generally. MT. Jesse Remmele wel-known, and high ly respected citizen of Falls Village, died on Monday morning of this week after short il- ness. He was quiet inofensive, hard-working man, and from his long residence at the Falls and his constant amiability and kindness of fchar- acter, his loss is deeply mourned by all who knew him there.
