representatives redress Of the laws that were grossly
UNJUST and tyrannous to the workingmen, but

be sent to represent them In Congress, who were
practically working men. and not men who had kept

From the Utica Daily Observer, Sept 18th,
FIRST PREMIUM.-By reference to the
list which we published elsewhere, it
will he seen that the Singer Sewing
Machines (both family and manufacture
ing) carry off the first premiums from
the State Fair which closes to day. 1t
is worthy Of remark that those Ma
chimes are rarely seen at fairs, and the
Singer Co. have not entered into the
general scramble for premiums which
has characterized the past few years.
The agent in this city saw fit, however,
to come out on this occasion in force;
and Notwithstanding the competition
was sharp-the Wheeler 4 Wilson,
Grover & Baker, &C., &C.. joining in
the contest-it was plain to be seen,
when the practical tests were applied,
that the ''plumes' must be handed over
to the Singer machines.

The County Fair.

The preparations for the annual exhi-
bition of the Cedar County Agricultural
Society, which will be held ut the Fair
grounds near Upton OH Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of next week,
are now nearly complete; and we are
we'll pleased to be able to state that
everything il in most favorable condi-
ton, and that all the indications are
that this Fair will greatly excel all
former ones held in this county in the
quantity, variety and excellence Of ar
ticlss and animals shown, If not in the
number of attendants. The latter will,
of course, depend greatly upon the state
of the weather, but that being favorable,
we shall hope and confidently expect to
see a general turn out of our citizens to
attend the Fair. This is no more than
is justly due the officers Of the Society,
who have labored long and earnestly
to make something of our county Fair
that should he interesting and p. ofitable
to farmers, stock raisers. mechanics and
citizens generally, as we'll as to secure
the longevity of the Society by its pc
cuniary success from year to year.
The grounds and buildings Of the So
ciety will be in much better condition
this year than ever before. The stalls
| and pens for horses and stock are in good
condition and sufficiently numerous for
any demand. The track is second to
none in the State, and the amphithea-
ire is commodious and comfortable. A
fine new hall, the plan and dimensions
of which have already been published,
will accommodate all the desired
articles. with admirable facilities for ex-
animation by visitors.
The display of Agricultural imple-
nents and machinery is going to be
more than usually large; and fine as,

and fancy articles is sure to be on hand
The products of the farm-grain, veget

can exhibit in this department, that VIZ
hope they will make it, as it ought t.
be, one Of the foremost in importance
and interest, by filling it with sample:
