Wednesday, Sept. 18Th.

The RAIN it raineth every day." Such
doubtless was the exclamation OF some
when they awoke Wednesday morning and
found the clouds still irving down rain.
But what can't he cured must be endured:
50 with umbrellas and rubber blankets.
overcoats and overshoes, the people came
tlociling to the fair. Out of doors the
exhibition for the second day is mostly
horses. Notwithstanding the rain, some
five OF six pairs of matched horses came
to the Judges stand on the call OF the bell.
The exhibition OF matched horses was
good.
There were few nice three years olds
examined by the awarding committee, but
the crowd OF lockers Oh who usually az
semble in the vicinity of the judges stand,
kept dry by keeping in the exhibition
building.
There was an unusual number of driv-
ING horses entered, and some very good
ones ; but the trial Of speed for horses
owned in the county was postponed till
Thursday morning.
NOTES AND QUERIES, ITEMS AND INCIDENTS.
This report would be imperfect without
chronicling some Of the surroundings OF
the Fair. And first we must speak of the
music: The hand organ, very fortunately,
wasn't there but the st. Johnsbury band
was present each day and enlivened the
occasion with excellent music. This adj
ded much to the entertainment for the
crowd
The tent men, apple and cider peddlerS,
and the like, had hard time. They
stood and took the storm like MARTYRS. but
unlike Paul, they were longing for it to
clear up, instead Of wishing for the day.
We heard OF no accident. The mama
gers an,.. officers of the Fair, from the
President down to the men who tended
the Gates. were courteous, and did what
they could to make a good Fair in a very
unfair time. May the weather be more
propitious another year.
As there has been some complaint that
all the stock was not retained the second

The Farmers Festival.
TUentu- First Caledonia County
agricultural Fair.

Seed time and harvest have come and
gone once more, and with the ingathering
crops the farmers again gather in Their ac-
customed festivals. Very many of our
readers recollect lhe first fairs held on the
old grounds north of Paddock's village ;
those were called good fairs, but they
bear no comparison to the fairs now held
by tie same society. Fewer people rec
ollcct the fair held at Lyndon corner more
than twenty-five years ago, and the one
held here on the flat northwest of where
the Methodist church now stands, some
over twenty years ago. Agricultural fairs
were then in Il primitive state IN Yer
mont; since then great improvements
have been made.
SO much by way of preamble, We
now propose to speak somewhat Of the ex-
hibition Of 1866:

Higgins & Sons The Cotswold species
were presented only by H. NJ. Hall.

were presented only by II. NJ. Hall.
I The committee appointed to award pre-
NUNS must have had hard task among
so many nice sheep. Many OF the exhlb,
itors had two or .,,lree or more pens apiece
in which their different kinds were assert
ed. We were pleased and instructed il
listening to the discussions about these
pens. The Cotswolds of Mr.. Hall were
much admired for their long, silky feeces
large and apparently robust frames, and
clean and kindly faces. He had one year
ling on exhibition that sheared III lbs.
wool in May, and that wool is now worth
Sl.25 per h., or double the common
grades.
E. J. Grey of Wheelock had some fine
specimens of Merino bucks. His Com
modore" clipped 2l4 lbs. of the finest
wool this summer. Col. Brigham had
his celebrated buck Oh exhibition we
suppose there are few farms in Hardwick
that would bring more money than this
animal. Then there were the Messrs.
Higgins who exhibited sheep that took
the first, second and third prizes at the
New England exhibition this fall. Blu!
time and space would fail us to speak OF
all separately.
Swine were exhibited by VIM. Roy Of
Barnet, ]. G. Hovey st. Johnsbury, VIM.
Russelow Danville, John Nourse. Stephen
Kent, and a nice litter of pigs by Edward
Allen of this town.
BROOD MARES AND COLTs. For this
class of horses We refer the reader to the
premium list, as by some means most OF
them were spirited away while we were
admiring the sheep, so we got sight Of
only one or two. J. A. Stanton exhibit
ed (not for premium) a sucking colt which
just about filled the eye Of /. horse c0Hnois-
se,ue; and J. Higgins & Sons exhibited
two years old of rare symmetry, and fol
which they refused 5000 on the ground.
These we saw and nothing more.
The exhibition of poultry was almost
indicative of hen fever. F. W. Mason
Of Barnet had Polands and white Ban
tams Arthur Caruth of Barnet showed
Brahma Pootras; Geo. Russell of St.
Johnsbury bad few young but very nice
Ducks; Henry W. Steele of Waterford
exhibited Brshmas, Golden pheasants,
heghorns, and Spanish white face; J.
Higgins & Sons, Erahma Pootras and
Seabright Bantams; A. II. Wilcox, fancy
fowls and Turkeys: Geo. II. Hastings.
fancy and common Fowls James Lang
fancy Fowls c. II. Cushman, a pair of
Geese, and Willis Russell pair OF Guinea
Pigs. For foul day the fowl exhibition
was unsurpassed.
We cannot leave the matter of stock
without expressing our personal surprise
and qualification that the men of CaIedo-
MA county had the interest in the Fair to
turn out with their choice animals on one
of the rainiest mornings of the year.
Some of the largest exhibitors came the
longest distances. Mr.. Hall of Burke
had more than twenty-five entries of stock
alone. VIM. D. Bronson of Hardwick
had to drive his stock nearly thirty miles
Col. Brigham brought his fine wool sEceI
from the same town. When we see sucl
interest among the farmers of Caledonia
county we are sure shat our Fairs viii no
run out, but rather increase in interest anC
value from year to year.

Agricultural Hall.

sheep, and some young cattle, were on
exhibition both days.
Agricultural Hall.
Agricultural Hall was hardly up to the
concert pitch as whole, though in some
particulars this year surpassed all former
fairs. Geo. McIndoe exhibited a couple
of the Buckeye Mowers which attracted
good deal of notice. James NJ. Warner
exhibited TWO of the Wood Mowers.
Both the Buckeye and Wood are number
one machines, and are both liked by the
farmers in this vicinity.
The Star mower. made at Lebanon,
was presented the second day. This is
new and comparatively untried machine,
stand this season. \ curiosity in the
shape Of q potato DIGGER was shown the
second day by Chas. |. Jesseinan, the
agent for Caledonia and Washington
counties. Alpheus Dolloff Of Lake Viii
! lage. n II. is the inventor Ii is believ-
that it will work well where the soil is
free from large stones.

workmanship, which was much admired.

biton. of tasty style and high finish. The
only sleigh presented was 10y J. d. Mil

A wooden tooth horse rake by james

entered and we find it is the favoritc
with the farmers. There was a novelty

speak very minutely. This is always a

present year was no exception to the gen.
eral rule. Directly in the center of the

had established his portrait gallery. Of
his pictures We have 70 need to say 4

though the artist may pride himself on
his rough exterior he is quite as proud
of his skillful workmanship.

WASHINGTON, May q.

HoUsE.-Mr Elliott reported back the
Senate amendment to the House JOINT
Resolution to prevent the introduction
of cholera into certain parts OF the
United States, which was concurred in,
so that the joint resolution is passed by
both Houses.
A bill creating the Territory of Mon
tana into surveying district was re-
ported by Mr. Stevens and passed.
The Feedmans' Bureau bill, reported
by Mr.. Eliot on Tuesday, was taken up.
Mr.. Stevens moved to amend by pro-
hibiting the restoration of the land OF
the Sea Islands to their original owners.
Mr.. Stevens said those lands were for
feited to the United States as belonging
to belhgerents, and allotted to some
5000 families, and it would be cruel and
unjust to turn the occupants ont. The
amendment was adopted-79 to 40.
MIR Shellabarger moved proviso that
the right of the former owners to recover
these lands in proper courts shall not he
affected
Mr. Davis moved to strike ont all Of
the second section.
Mr. Brandegee moved to postpone the
further consideration of the bill till the
second Monday in December next, when
the members will be better informed on
the subject. Lost, 81 to 81.
The morning hour having expired the
bill went over till Tuesday next.
Mr.. Schenck gave notice that the
bounty bill had been altered so much
that it was nesessary to reprint it, and
he would ask its consideration to NOR
row. One material change was that
local bounties paid to soldiers were to
be deducted from the sum which might
appear to be due. This will cut out
from the benefit of the bill almost all
who had enlisted after the payment of
liberal bounties had commenced
On motion of Mr.. Stevens, of Penusyl-
vania, and by vote Of Ga to 46, the
evening session was disposed with for
today.
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole, Mr.. Davis in the Chair
aud resumed the consideration of the
tax bill commencing at the paragrah
adding section l63 of the existing law
on the subsequent paragraph, all relat-
ing to ground coffee and spices.
On motion of Mr. Morrill,, it was struck

penalty for not having revenue stamps
attached.
On motion of Mr.. Myers, the para,
out the words photographs, ambretvpes,
