in the shape of informal votes for President.
on steamboats,, railroad trains, excursions,
&c, which generally stand any where from
FIVE to ten for Lincoln to one for Mcclellan.
But more important and significant are the
numerou. cases of lifelong democrats refus-
ing to 20 for the candidate for whom the
rebels cheer. and coming out boldly for Lin
coin and johnson. We mention several OF
of the later instances of this.
Gen. Joe Hooker has always been a demo
crat dyed in the wool. lie was openly claim
ed by the copperhead press as for Mcclellan.
But within a week, he has appeared and
spoken at a Lincoln ratification meeting in
Brooklyn. and at a meeting Of a Union
League Club in New York. In his speeches
on those occasions he said There were no
copperheads in the army that the soldiers
will vote as they fight" -; and that &" it is
folly to talk of peace till we have whipped
the rebels, and swept away the cause of the
rebellion and otherwise indicated most
fully his position as a supporter of the Ad-
minIstration.
The most popular Appointment democrat
in Troy, n. Y, is Hon. John A. Griswold,
democratic representative to Congress from
that district. Mr.. Griswold has just carried
utter dismay into the copperhead ranks there,
by taking ground squarely against the Chi
cage platform and nominee, and for Lincoln
and johnson.
Hon F. B. Cutting, of New York, who
was named as one of the Vics Presidents at
the democratic ratification meeting in that
city, h"- written a letter in which he SAYS
tha the ~. e his name as one of the Vice
Presidents Of the recent Mcclellan meeting

for Douglas four years ago, and now supports
Lincoln.

In recording the accidents that occurred
during the FAIR at Vergennes last week, the
Ver7oater says; On Wednesday afternoon,
three young bloods while under the influence

FLORAL HALL.

The display of Fruit was surprisingly fine,
especially in respect to Apples and Grapes.
We never saw fairer and more tempting
specimens than covered the long tables.
Tie largest collection, undoubtedly, was
Fat of Mr.. Archibald Taylor, Nurseryman
If Burlington. Mr.. Taylor exhibited So
varieties Of standard Apples, and 6
of hardy Grapes. Among the latter is a
new seeding Grape, never before exhibited
or described, and which promises to be one
Of great excellence and popularity. 1t re-
sembles the Isabella in form and color, but is
much earlier, having begun to ripen clusters
two weeks ago, and is decidedly sweeter and
less pulpy tkan either the Concord or Isa-
bella. 1t appears to be perfectly hardy and
a good bearer. The first vine of it was
raised from the seed by Mr.. VIM. Hill of
this place. The Grape is now controlled
however by Mr.. Taylor, and we shall be sur
prised if it does not become a ~favorlte in
this region.
D. C. Linsley exhibited twenty varieties of
standard apples of magnificent size and re-
markable fairness and beauty. They included
fine specimens of the ~Champlain apple, Tin
mouth, Nonpsreil, Porter, Baldwin, North
ern Spy, Pound Sweet and Strawberry.
The display of Foreign grapes by Patrick
Ryder, Mr.. o. A. Burton's gardener. was a
very beautiful one, and included several
varieties not exhibited here before. Ills
specimens of the Black and Victoria Ham,
burg, Wilmot's Old and New Hamburg,
Barbarossa, zinfndel, Chaptal, Frontignsc,
Chaselas, White Cluster, Moronet, White
Frontignan and Muscat Blanche Hetif, all of
course raised under glass, were superb.
. L. NJ. Hagar exhibited 9 varieties of hardy
grapes, a handsome dish of mixed fruits, and
II varieties of plums, among them the
"Caroline," q fine new seeding raised by
Mr.. Hagar. The number Of varieties of
plums from Mr.. Hagar's garden could have
been made considerably larger, two or three
weeks ago, many fine varieties being now out
Of season.
The display of articles of domestic manu-
facture and clancy work, was not as large
rs some we have seen; but was of high aver
age of merit.
An afghan" of crochet work of Berlin
wool in bright colors. exhibited by Mrs. D. c.
Liusley, attracted much notice. 1t is an
elaborate and beautiful thing.
One of the most elaborate bedquilts ever
brought to such an exhibition here, was ex-
hibited By Mrs. A. B. Halbert of Essex. 1t
q Sort of mosaic work of cloth in which
of various flowers, wreaths OF roses,
&C., were initiated with considerable success.
This was pronounced ''nOeet," by one of an
crowd of ladies. 1t was certainly ]
! monument of persevering and skilful handi- ]
work.

The most remarkable mich COW On the
ground, and one of the most remarkable
cows in the country, was the one exhibited
by N. Stearns OF Burlington. This o is
three fourth Durham, very large, n,ne years
old, and has averaged by careful measure g.
lbs of milk a day, for two weeks. The
quntity was about 80 quarts s day, and the
quality very rich. Such a record is hard to
beat.
The largest oxen we're the pair exhibited
by Arson S. johnson, of Williston. These
oxen weigh 1890 lbs. Their strength was
tested by drawing a stoneboat weighted with
some 5000 lbs of stone.

exhibited by Mr.. n. Lockwood ofSt. George.
A pair of fine and exceedingly well
