superior patterns.
The display Of fruits is the best we have ever
had here. in quality at least if not in quantity.
i We noticed some peaches from Franklin town
ship in this county, that the world cannot beat,
and there are many clever lots from other por-
tons of the State. Grapes are abundant. The
Isabella and Catawba. the most common varieties
heretofore. have not done well this year, but the
Delaware and the different varieties of the French
grape have, and luscious punches OF them in
great piles greet the visitor. The cultivation OF
the Delaware is recommended by pomologists as
we'll adapted TO this region of country, and Ger
| tainly no more delicious fruit is to be found.
We must not forget to mention the needle
work. The fingers of the ladies have not been
idle. and many beautiful specimens adorn Miscel
laneous Hall
We proceed with our notices of objects of
special interest that cannot fail to attract the at
tention Of the visitor who has an eye to the use
ful as well as the beautiful.

To any one the least skilled in mechanics this

a wonderful and valuable invention. lt differs
from all others from the fact that in drawing any
kind OF liquid from barrel, KEY or hogshead, IL
needs no vent or opening in the BARREL. There Is
secret chamber connecting with the faucet
through which the air passes into the barrel when
liquid is dischargng which corresponds exactly
