Oar Fdr.-Reports from the Agri-
cultural Fairs which have been held
this fall in the adjoining counties Of
this State and Pennsylvania, say that
in the number Of articles exhibited aud
their general utility, that our fair far
surpassed them all The Editor of the
Middletowu, Del, Transcript says:
II was one Of which the people might well
be proud, and was q success ia all its depart
meats. The display Of machinery was extern
sive, much Of IL manu- factured in the county
Among the stock there were some very supe-
rior horses, and we noticed some fne Devon,
Durham, fAlderpey, Ayrshire, Tceswater and
native cattle. There were also some very SUI
perior White Chester and Berkshire hogs, and
fair specimens Of Cotswold and SouthdoNn
sheepi also jacks and mules. A stallion Of the
st. Lawrence stock, belonging 10 Mr.. Haines,
oi W cstminster, Is deserving OF special mem
ton. Although very fat, and having just
closed very successful season, he trotted his
mile In 7. so. II In proper condition and well
trained, II is believed he would be able to make
ii in the 2O's. A horse Of finer form and action
is rarely seen. The best trotting over the
course was 2sa. In the vegetable department
We noticed many prodigies-the largest egg
plants we ever saw Eve pumpkins grown upon
one vine, the aggregate weight Of which, was
40 lbs. hfsy-six potatoes which weighed Sc
lbs. +; and We heard mention Of one Harrison
potato which weighed over two lbs. We never
saw liner apples, and the display of pears,
grapes, and other fruits, was highly ereJitable.
But, noticeable feature Of the exhibition was
the haDdiwork Of the ladies, Of whom, we were
pleased to learn, there were over one hundred
exhibitors. There were many articles Of rerfH
in this department highly creditabls 10 their
faats. nd rah.. nd .kr.s
robe were much admired. Landowner articles
could hardly be found at the furrier's. quilt
with over II, sy7 squares and as pretty piece
Of yard wide home made Yenitian carpet as We
ever beheld. There was beautiful display of
handsome paintings, rich embroidery, elegant
and ingepioasly wrought hair ,boquets, wax
fruits and flowers, &C., &c, which We have
rarely seen surpassed. Large crowds were In
attendance each day, and the grounds present
ed an animated scene, enliyened throughout by
the music OF no less than six brass bands, which
generously volunteered their eervices for the
occasion. Altogether, the exhibition was one
which reflected high honor upon the people Of
Carroll, and the public spirited gentlemen who
compose the board Of officers Of the Society.
