l.us shovel an embroidered pin cushion,
and specimens of silk embroidery. We
noticed a beautiful fruit basket of cone
work, made by Miss Lydia a. Pratt
airs. ". 4. Dre.belbis~showed some I'll
dies; Miss Lucy Howes, beautiful pair
of braided slippers; Mrs. s. S. Fifeld,
some cruel work; Mrs. John RAY mond,
some beautiful embroidery. We noticed
beautiful embroidered cbemisctte placed
on exhibition BY Miss Emma D. Miller.
Perhaps we fingered admiringly around
this article, for several of our friends, Of
both sexes suggested that we should pur-
chase it. We were indignant, of course,
aud promptly replied that We dil not
wish to have such a garment,-unless
there was a girl in it. Mss Isadore
Newell, fourteen years of age, showed
some beautiful samples of worsted work !;
Mrs. G. p. Smith, some elegant flower
vases and artificial flowers. Mrs. \.
Miller showed some wofstcd work, and
an elegant box Of fancy leather work.
Mrs. Chas. r. Tyler had q large variety
Of beautiful articles on exhibition; among
which were samples Of wor$;cd work,
vases, candIesticks and artifcials in rice
work, r2ticuIe, anil a beautiful pair Of
slippers.
Mrs. A. Mcclure showed piece of
elegantly embroidered India muslin; a
good rag carpet was shown by Mrs. T.
p. Tubbs; rugs, by Mrs. ]. NJ. Dds and
Mrs. J. N. Clements. Mrs. B. Ames
showed pair Of wooden socks and leg
gins which looked as if they might keep
an Artic navigator comfortable, and Mrs.
G. II. Nichols beautiful sontag.
Besides these articles which we have
mentioned, and many others, which were
Of home manufacture, there wero good
many elegant articles of various kinds
which were placed on exhibition, not to
compete for premiums, but merely to
add to the interest and attructiveDess of
the occasion. Prominent among these
WIS large, fine photograph Of Old
Abs" which attracted considerable atter-
ton, belonging to u. Y. Wise; while a
collection of leaves brought froa the
grave Of Napoleon, aad sent in by 9teph-
en- Boikcoin, attracted the attention OF
the curious. Fine samples of -four from
the Prairie Mills and Greenwood Mills in
this village, were shown and received
premiums.
Owing to the rain on the afternoon 0!
the last day the Address was not deliv-
cred, but we presume Mr.. Denison will
furnish 4 to the county papers for pub
lication. The Brass Band of Prescott,
was on the grounds, and made good mu-
SIC. despite the rain. The disappoint-
ment was greatest among those who
wished to trot horses aad those who
wished to see them trot. Several match
had been made, but the rain contin-
ued till nearly night, aud then tho track
was 10 heavy to admit of trotting. For
the same reason there was no Ladies
Equestrian display.
Smith R. 6, mn is expected TO repre-
sent the Society at the State Fair, and
under his management we shall doubt
less have good exhibition there.
The Pierce Co. Agricultural Society
usy now Bc looked upon rs fsed fact.
The counte has ample resources, the in,
iutrres, of The people is awaked and the
Society can confidently expect a success
ful. permanent and prosperou. future.
The citizens of Prescott showed gen
erous hospitality 70 those VINO were IN
attendance. All The members Of the va
rious committees were provided with en-
sertainment free of expense, and Eco pains
vers spared to make the occasion a
pleasing oEe in its social aspects. In the
cytniDg party was given in the large
anl comwod:cus hall in Dunbar's neE
BLOCK, and this additional affair, was
eraced by mary Of the fair and all closed
up merry and gay.
We shall publish the premium list
wen it is perfected.
