Ing, although little out OF season, we
take the liberty to mention a cheap
method Of making a secure fence. II
you have q top pole or rail ut the top of
your fence nail to Il lath about foot In
length and about a foot apart, In an up-
right position with a single single nail,
and you will find very cheap method of
making your flock entirely secure. There
were some very fine and fast horses upon
the grounds, and We had the pleasure Of
witnessing high rate Of speed Of these
noble and useful animals.
All seemed happy and there were
many attractions, among which were the
flying horses which the boys rode very
gracefully and with great satisfaction to
themselves and the spectators present.
Since the war, the arts ofpeace seem to
be growing In the esteem OF our citizens
and their beautiful exhibitions attended
