The County Fair.

The success Of our First County Fair, as re-
corded in another column, is oil the more remark.

by reason Of the late freshets, fully onc-half the
county was entirely unrepresentcd, and that by
no means the poorest half in respect 10 agricul-
tural resources. As illustrating what was lost
in oil the departments by the food and the nee
essary postponements, we need only allude to the
single class Of Working Oxen-oyer forty yoic,
having been entered for the regular day, and less
than fourth part of the lumber finally appear

We can hardly avoid abiding to one or two
articles on exhibition The Wed S,icing Ma.
chine, exhibited by Calvin Robinson, was a great
attraction, and its work was wonderiul-sttch-

through the lightest tissue paper, twenty thick
ncsses Of the frmest cotton, a dozen Of wooden,
two or three Of the heaviest upper leather, and
even wooden cigar box We had no concep-
ton that so much could he done with sewing

A pen Of 10 Chester pigs, by l.. A. Persons,
nine weeks old, and weighing GOi lbs, was also
great attraction. No wonder they sold as they

The handsomest coop Of Brahmas that were

say, was that by George Davis Of East Mont

Sr. JonNsnuRY.---W have the best possible
warrant for pronouncng the statement contained
in the last Vermont Chronicle concerning the eff
iects of the late freshet upon the property and
business Of the Messrs. Fairbanks, MS false IN
erery essential particular. The works were
stopped by the food but about thirty hours,
Only one building was carried off, and that used
mostly as store house for materials They
have asked no man to share in their losses, and
all who know them, very well know that they
never will. The whole work of repairs will
doubtless be completed within the next sixty
days.
The best possible confirmation Of all this will
be found in the fact that, during the past week,
about one thousand scales were manufactured.

Greensboro Pond.

Rev H. llerrck of Wolc1tt, in the last Macs

which he, with others, has lately made respecting
the threatened elopcment Of this famous Pond.

HoE foR THE Decentralization Is called
to the meeting in the Representatives Hall this
"wednesday evening, in behalf Of this beneyo-
lent institution, located at Burlington. 1t is one
Of the worthiest of charities 1t is State insti-
tuition, receiving homeless and orphaned little
ones from all parts Of the State. Yet its very ex-
istencc is unknown in many towns, and in many
others little is known Of its aims and results.
The meeting is held to convey such information
70 the members Of the Legislature, in order that
they may in turn inform their constituents. The
Home does not ask STATE aid, 1t does ask for the
interest, sympathy and assistance Of all humane
and public spirited citizens of the State.
The meeting will be one of high interest and
it is hoped will have full attendance of the
members of the General Assembly, of both Hou-
ses, as well as Of the ladies and gentlemen of
Montpelier.

NUMBER 10.

Washburne Immediately called on
Grant, and invited him to go to Spring
field. There Pope was the hero of the
hour and all was confusion. Washb1rne
urged Grant claims, and the latter had
already applied to the Governor of
Ohio, his native State, and TO the Adiu-
tant General of the army at Washington,
who had not even the grace to answer
his letter.
Washburne with difficulty restrained
him from returning in disgrace to Galena.
AT length Grant was employed TO assist
in Governor Yates office, and in muster
ing out regiments.
1t is most improbable that either
Washburne or Grant had any prescience
of Grant future success, as Grant him
self is reported to lave answered friend
who asked him why he did not apply for
a Colonelcy: To tell you the truth,
would rather like a regiment, yet there
are few men really competent to com.
mand thousand soldiers, and l doubt
whether am une of them
Yates having appointed Grant Colonel
of regiment, he was indebted for his
promotion to Washburne. President
Lincoln sent printed notice to each of
the Illinois Senators and Representatives,
asking them to nominate four Brigadiers.
Washburne pressed the claims of Grant
on the ground that his section of the
State had raised good many men, and
were entitled to a Brigadier. Grant,
Huburt, Prentiss and McClerland were
appointed When Grant heard of his
promotion he said: "lt never came
from any request of mine. 1t must be
some of Washburne's work"
In October, 1861, while Grant was in
command at Cairo, Washburne paid him
a visit, and then for the first time became
impressed with the conviction that Grant
was to be "the coming man. of the
war. In the language of his friends
from that time he had Grant on the
brain" When Pope's friends urged him
for Major Generalship, Washburne Sc.
cured a promise from Lincoln that none
of the Brigadiers should be further pro-
NOTED till they had distinguished them
selves in the field. A ring of con-
tractors whom Grant had offended circu-
lated in the newspapers a report of his
intemperance. Washburne wrote to
Rawlins TO know if it had any grain of
truth. Rawlins replied that much as he
loved his chief, he loved his country more;
and if from any cause he should see him
unfit for his position, he would inform
Washburne. Having written the letter,
he showed it to Grant, who replied:
Right, exactly right; send it by all
means"
1t was not until the battle of Fort Don
elson that Grant entirely achieved posi-
, ton which rendered the kind offices o.
Washburne no longer absolutely necess
airy to his promotion. -Four days after
that victory he was appointed and con
tirmed Major General Of Volunteers.

TIE New York HERALD says Parson
Brownlow presents the most extraordinary
picture of physical debility that was ever
before witnessed in any legislature assembly.
Thad Stevens might have been considered

meu's shoulders to take his place among the
managers in the memorable days of the i'm
peachment trial. the best illustration up to
that time presented of the triumph of intel
lectual will over shattered and Frustrated
bodily olganist, but Brownlow's appearance
shows even greater indications of physical
wreck and ruin, and yet thelatter lacks moth
ing of the same unconquerable mental fire
and energy that marked to his latest moments
the character of the Great Commoner -
When taking the oath Brownow lay back
in his chair, his head bent down, his face
shriveled CHASTITY, aud of unearthy hue, his
hands clasped iu bony, vice-like grasp, and
his whole appearance indicative of great
physical depression. AS Mr.. Colfax read
the oath the poor old Parson raised his feeble
arm which shook with palsy and dropped
every moment at his side. Assistant Ser
geant-at-arms Bassett went over and sustain
ed his arm through the remainder of the
ceremony, though the old man made two or
three desperate efforts by himself to sustain
the right arm propping it with his left hand.
After he had taken the cath the Parson
stretched forth. bis hand for glass of water,
which shook wildly before it reached his lips
The ordeal, sight as it seemed, had com.
pletely exhausted him,
