breeding mare. In cattle, Daniel Davis ~
Son took their full share of premiums on
Devon cattle as usual. The show of sheep
was hardly equal to former occasions, still
it was good, as it generally is in Vermont
The show of poultry was good, and Hiram
S. Paddock of Bridgewater, bore off the
palm. In the line Of fruits, there was an
excellent display by Hon. w. M. Evarts
D. A. Gill of Springfield in this department,
which used SO often to appear in the earlier
days of the Society, nor do we see Toby of
Chester. Perhaps we shall hear from them
at Proctorsville. Household manufactures
and fancy articles seem to have been very
excellent, which would seem to indicate that
the fair hands had kept up their depart
ment. Hon. Julius Converse was unable
to deliver the promised address, and his
place was very acceptably filed by Hon.
Daniel Needham of Hartford, who spoke
upon subjects suggested by his recent visit
| to Hamburg.
