The good Union people of Mshoning
county had Mass Meeting in Youngs-
town on Saturday last.
A heavy drenching storm prevented the
holding of the meeting in the grove as was
anticipated, and also prevented the at
tendance of large delegations from adJoln-
ing townships. There was goodly num-
Der present, however, from abroad, and
Arms & Murray's Hall was crowded to
hear the speakers announced for the ocea-
sion. Reuben Mcmillan, Esq, presided,
and the audience was addressed by Judge
Day and Governor Tod, in earnest, effective
and convincing speeches, reviewing the
present situation of the country and prov
ing conclusively that, as between the two
candidates for President, there is but the
choice between Union and Disunion-that
with the election of Lincoln the Union will
be preserved that with the election OF
Mcclellan, and the carrying out of the
principles of the Chicago Platform, the
Union will be dissolved, and the govern
ment hopelessly and irredeemably des-
troyed.
Their speeches were listened to atten-
lively, and produced marked effect upon
many of their former political associates
present who have not heretofore been iden-
tifed with the Union party.
The Fair at Garfield, last week, was in
many respects the best fair ever held in
| the County. There were more people pre-
sent, the receipts were larger, and in some
departments the exhibition was better than
on any previous occasion. Although in
some classes there were not as many en-
tries as usual, yet the articles were of
| good, and, in most instances, of excellent
or superior quality.
The garden vegetables were very fine
specimens. It was pronounced the best
display in that line ever sent to our fairs.
The dairy products-cheese and butter-re-
ceived great cOmmendation. In fruits, the
exhibition was very fair-in grapes espe-
cially the specimens were fully equal to
those exhibited at the late grape show in
Cleveland. They were from Poland, Green
and Garfield, and demonstrated cOnclu-
svely that grapes can be grown with per
feet success in that county. On account o.
the bad state of the track within the
grounds the exhibition Of Roadsters was
postponed to Saturday, Oct. 226, at tel
| o'clock A. n.
MEDINA COUNTY.
The nineteenth annual exhibition of tn,
Medina County Board of Agriculture, wa
held Oh its ground, on Monday, TUESDAY
and Wednesday oflast week.
| Although the weather was not pleasant
the exhibition did not fall behind any o
former years.
In the department of live stock, Sheel
were the principal feature, and were II
large numbers end of higher grades thar
we have ever seen before at County FAN
There was larger show of MerInoes thal
of any other class.
The Cattle on exhibition were of q super
inr class, and large number were exhi
bited.j
Very fine specimens of Grapes were dis
played.
The Domestic show was not in the leas
behind former years, but rather in advance
= Bread, Cakes, Butter, Cheese, canned Frui
: &c, made fine show.
J The display of Rag Carpets was one whic
would do credit to State Fair, and surel
one which reflects much honor upon th
[ | industrious women of that county.
, The Fair in al! its departments proved
0 great success, and we believe as much (
as any Fair OF the kind held in the State.
LORAIN COUNTY.
+ The Fair held in this county last wee
had the same enemy to contend with, whiC
has attacked all the Fairs this fall. tt
q rain tried to take the starch out of the il
e stitution, but didn't make out.
A great many people were present, al
D. the exhib tion, considering all the circuu
# stances, was creditsble, and the receip
$ mount up to about $1,000. Old LOra
+ cleaned out the Copperheads well.
