STEAMBoAT.-Owing to the extra
expense Of running and the decrease
of travel at this season Of the year,
the steamer Lady of the Lake has
been discontinued, and the Mountain
Maid put in her place. On Thursday
the inspectors examined the cattle
boat at Magog and pronounced her
unfit for use. Since that time there
has been no communication on the
lake.
We learn that the tug boat, Stars
and Stripes will run for the present,
till the Mountain Maid is repaired.
SUMNER TRAvEL.-Owing to the
cold, wet weather the summer travel
has nearly ceased, though some still
linger, 10th to return to the harry and
hustle of the city. The season CON-
pares very favorably with former ones
and we think hotel proprietors and
steamboat owners have made very
good thing out of it.
SHEFFIELD,
CHANGED.-Dr. 6. 6. Ellis is to
take the place Of DR.. c. R. Kellam in
Sheffield, who goes to Burlington.
STANSTEAD.
The FAIR.-The fair at Stanstead
last week appears to have been quite
good one although in some respects
we should judge it might not have
been equal to former years. The
show of cattle we understand was
large, in which the herd of Carlos
Pierce bore off the palm. He exhib-
tied one yoke of oxen that cost him
$3.50 in gold, that are said to be a
splendid pair, The great OK "Gen.
Grant" was also there and attracted
universal attention. He weighs 1000
pounds. The OK and the afore named
cattle were kept in a cellar during
the hot days Of last summer. There
were at the fair a pair of yearling
steers that girtted six feet. The
swine were few but nice; a moderate
quantity of sheep and large lot of
handsome colts of various ages. Bry
ant, the famous nurseryman, was rep
resented there by his trees, of which
he had some noble specimens ladeI
with fruit, two and three years ole
and gratis upen the crab apple stock
We get these facts from our Yves
Charleston item man.
