COUNTY FAIR.

The Cumberland County Cattle Show and
Fair opened at Gorha1ii yesterday. We spent
an hour there in the afternoon, and found a
very large attendance, apparently from all
partsof the county. The carriages were al
& most innumerable, and required to be meas
ured by the mile as they stretched along the
roadsides.
The exhibition generally was very fair, Of
neat stock, sheep and horses excellent, par
tlcularly of working oxen. There were some
very heavy teams; but we took inno6notes, 50
we gre unable to particularizes
: In the Town House; though not large, yet
there was good display fruits, corn, yegeta-
qles, dairy products, domestic cloth, yarn, stock
&c. also fancy needle work, and variousings
specimens in the line of the fine arts. There
was also good show of agricultural nipple
ments and of the products of inventive genius.
Hereafter we may be able to be more specific.
The exhibition Is to continue to-day, and
we doubt not a large collection of people viii
be drawn together as the strength of oxen will
be tested and other attractions will be pro
