tnelr Annual ABIlcultuIul r'S'lNdf
The labors of the past season have been
abundantly rewarded in the luxuriant
harvests that have been gathered, and
man and beast are amply provided for
the coming winter. The wclliilled
barns and granarcs remind us Of the
goodness of God in sending the shower
and sunshine, that vegetation might
feel the mighty impulse thus SO won
derfully impaired and maturcd for the
comfort and happiness of man. The
first day of the Fair bid fair in the morn
ing to be rainy but before noon, the
clouds were brushed away, and Old Sol

the grounds, and were glad to find
everything in state of readiness for the
reception of articles for exhibition. We
were pleasantly surprised at the notices
(they being pertinent and forciblc) that
greeted our eyes as we entered Floral
Hall from the West. We give them,
viz: "IIarvest Home" "rhc Festive
Winter Comes,n crime is Money"
"Thc Blushing Corn is Cut" ain the
Morning Sow thy Seed" "pcacc and
Plenty" "Thc JOY of the Harvest, y

with moral instruction, TO all classes of
society. The Hall was very finely
trimmed with cvcrgrccns, showinggood
rastc, and rendering it truly inviting.
The Judges Stand was beautifully
adorned with trimming, and finely set
Off with the motto, make Hay while
the Sun Shines" This can be applied
not only to the farmers calling, but to
all the various pursuits of human life,
and we hope the multitude who read it
will reap all the benefit it so naturally
suggests. But to return 10 the Hall,
where we found the following articles
on exhibition:
