County Fair.

The 22d Annual Fair Of the Addison
County Agricultural Society occurs on
the Goth and 2lot Of this montl--some-
what earlier than usual We trutt that
none will ON this account find themselves
unprepared for it,
The Annual Fair is the favoritc holi-
day for the year and we can safely prom
ise more attractions at the coming eXno-
;,;op than usual OF course, the leading
interest of the county will be largely re-
presented and will necessarily be the
rruniucnt feature OF the show. AT the
recent meeting OF the managers the pre-
miums on Sheep were doubled. We
shall expect that all our prominent flock
masters will this year have sheep on ex-
bil;,iun. and there can be no doubt that
i, will be a larger aud more valuable col
lection than was ever before seen. there
will he y large attendance from abroad OF
those interested in this branch OF husband
~ and much can be done to maintain the
peerless reputation Of our county for that
which is the great source OF present and
prospective wealth
In the department OF Horses the man
arcrs have added two cla-sca-''Saddle
Horses and "fast Houses" 1t is the
concurrent belief OF the managers that
such Il feature under proper management
viii not only be unotjcctonab!e but di-
rectly promotive Of the legitimate object
OF the society. The liberal premiums Oh
feed will call out goody number Of
line moving horse. and will be prom'n-
ont attraction Of the exhibition
The maragers have placed at the dis
nosul of The Committees on Fancy -Ar!l-
Giles. Miscellaneous and Household Man
utnc,urcs, very liberal sums to be used a'
rrnt,iitics. For the former the sum thus
appropriated is far in excess Of the prem'-
,uiums. and will, we think, be sufficient
TO ensure fine display in Floral Hall.
1t may be relied upon as certain that no
mcritorious article will escape substantial
notice. Unlcss the protracted diouth
shall prove fatal to flower gardens we
shall look confidently TO the Ladies Of the
county Tor such Il competition in Flower
Designs and Boquets as has never been
Known. To the ladies' we look to make
this Hall what it is expected TO be, the
chief ornament of the exhibition. The
general arrangements in the way OF or
namenta,ion will be made complete and
we hope the filing up with the work Of
the needle, pencil, &c, will be suttici-
cnt justification for the unusual appropri-
alton Of money.
To secure full success will require the
hearty cooperation Of the Town mana
gcr.. We trust that they will be vigllant
IN procuring memberships and in encour-
aging contributions to the exhibition.
BY vote of the Managers the commit
tees will be expected to report at the Sec
retary's office at two O'Clock OF the first
day and receive their books, and be ready
TO deliver them at noon of the second
day. 10 avoid any misunderstanding
about sheep-pens the Managers voted
that the choice Of pens should lie reported
TO the Secretary and registered.
Let the farmers Of the county each feel
hi responsibility in this matter, and we
shall have an exhibition more successful
than any that has preceded it, and one
III It will be of material advantage to the
interests OF the county.
