lioness, raised by himself, whose age
is exactly eighty years.
A considerable pumber of ladies
and gentlemen visited the grounds in
carriages, and took :" a swing around

much interest manifested il the Fair,
and from the number Of entries made
in advance of the regular entry day,
which is to-day, we are lead to believe
that this Fair will surpass that of
1860, the last held in this vicinity.

pose, under the special superintend-
ence of Paymaster Genung, the car
