State Fair.

I The State Fair last week was not equa
0 to many of its predecessors, though the
. quality Of much on exhibition was good
, 1t should be remembered in this connec
: ton that last year the Society held its ex.
libition with Tie New England Society
and the contrast is therefore greater on
! that account, and as a whole the Fail
this year was but little above most County
Fairs, with few exceptions. The show OF
stock from this county was good. We copy
