RUTLAND. "wednesday Evening, Sept 10. 1852
This has been one of tho most beautiful Autumn
days, 30 noted among these green mountains and
valleys of Vermont, but it has failed 10 induce q
crowd of people 10 pour forth to meet together in
grand convention of farmers upon the pleasant
grounds of the AgicuItursts' State Fair. Tie sale
Of single tickets to-day at IS cents each shows a
receipt of only $3.50. Everybody is hopeful though,
for tomorrow. Tomorrow, Mr. Greeley will be
here and you will see grand turnout to hear his
address," SO hope with the rest, and am glad 10
find that the people can be induced by shy thins or
ANYBODY TO unite in the farmers annual festival
