TIE TOWNSHIP FAIR. under the auspices Of
the Farmers & Mechanics Association holden
| Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Of the pres
ent week. was in some respects superior to any
thing that has preceded it. In numbers and
variety Of articles, the display at this time may
not, have been eqnal to past years. but in par
ticuar departments it was apparent that the
same growth and excellence has scarcely heer
reached at airy previous Fair. For instance
the display Of vegetables was a rare one in these
respects. This result OF course depends very
mucn upon The character OF the season. and to
the favorableness of the past are we indebted
for the merit of this department, The collec
tion entered by RoBr. HUTCHINSON, of Say
brook, embracing cauli flowers, cabbages
squashes. several distinct yarities Of potatoes
was very fne and added, as is this gentleman :
won't much to the interest collection.
We noticed several parcels of sweet potatoes
all very good, but an especially fine LOT, Of dif
ferent and better variety than those usual,
raised about here, entered by r. s. SMITH, o
Geneva. They were Of the Southern spices
or perhaps not degenerated by Northern &C
cIimation. and successive propagation.
FRurT.-The season being favorable for ap
Piles. the array was most luscious and crafty
ing. Several plates of superior ones were en-
tered by AMOS SourHwIcK. The largest val

orchard Of Jons MuRrrs, and comprised som
4 26 different kinds. if sraf, ...i r olIe.

best varieties. A plate Of Isabellas. Of unusu,
size and quality from the. .yinyard of E. G. Hui
