stat, Fair Items.


Our towDsmun, WIN. f. Hubbard received
the first premium on two -yearold Devon Bulls.
Garibaldi is full blood. raised in Canada, and
kicks the beam at twelv hundred. lie is con.
sidered by good judges, oscomJining the points
Of this much admired breed Of animals. Mr.
II. purchased upon the fair ground, heirer of
similar blood, aud fine symmetry and propcrtion
and from the pair he hopes TO present as good
specimens Of blood stock as can be found. BY
the way we may tay that the practical intelli-
gence, energy and deep interest which Mr.. Hub
bard brings to bear upon his farming and stock
raising pursuits, place him among the foremost in
the estimation OF the farmers of the vicinity.
The three first prem iums on cheese we're
taken by Mr.. ii f. Giddings of Lindenville
The premiums were for the best cheese under
one year, the best over one year, and the best
lot Mr.. G. is one of few in the lower part of
this county, whose daires uniformly furnish the
best products of cheesedom, and who find no
difficulty 10 sharing among them the premiums
of every successive state fair. That editorial
sample, friend Giddings has, we fear fallen into
the hands Of the Phiislans
BY singular and unaccountablc freak or OBJ
liquity of judgment the committee awarded to
an IRdiana tanning mill the first premium, while
our friend Crosby's mill stood by its side, en-
dorsed by the appreciation of nearly or quite
every purchaser, and while the tailiDgs of the
Indiana mill on being passed through the Cros-
h. r,;n 10 fba "A IF all ohs
sented the purest HheLt. Some of the samples
of wheat cleaned by this premium mill that we
noticed, showed considerable quantities of oats
We make this statement in fairness to Mr..
Crosby and his generally considered unrivaled
mill.
We noticed upon the ground, two samples
of Fence from the establishment of our towns
men the King Brothers. One of these patterns
was different from anything we have seen here
abouts and struck nc as very taseful, while its
frmuess and durability are above question. The
first premium was awarded.
A new article to us, for exhibition was the
Goat. This was very attractive feature Of the
fair. The collection consisted of thiriy-four
specimens. of the Cashmere species, full blood
grades, and exhibited by R. II. Little of Lick
ing CO. Quite number Of these were kids, six
months old. They were beautiful, and were
much petted by visitors who seemed to take
much pleasure 10 feeling of their long and silky
fleece, which attracted much attention by its
snowy, and almost glittering whiteness. Their
playfulnees also drew to them much attention
The old bearded patriarch of the herd with his
formidable head gear, we were informed could
not be purchased for thousand dollars
These animals have been propagating for
some three years, and number altogether fifty
four They are hardy as sheep. They yield
fleece from three to five pounds each which is
saidto be worth from $5 to SO per pound, ac-
cordng to grade. There are no manufactures
for this material in this country, aud the feeces
OF this flock have been sent to Scotland for
working up, This kind of husbandry, therefore
promises new and very profitable field for
American industry.
GREAT SHEEP.-We saw on exhibition al
the State Fair Oottswold Ram, which out
stripped anything 10 the way Of sheep anywhere
in Ohio, and Of course took the first premium
He weighs $50 pounds, ten per cent of which /.
wool. He was purchased by our eDterprisine
wool growers Of New Lyme, Messrs, DonoE d
BEcKwITH, and will be on exhibition at our
Fair.--SenIiaeL
