Connecticut River Valley Agricul-
tural Association. IT,.


The fourteenth annual Fair of this AS
ISOLATION will be held at Brattleboro, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sep
TENDER It'll, 9Th and 9th.
By the liberality of enterprising gen.
tlemen at Brattleboro and the courtesies
of the railroads, the Association are ell
abled to offer extra inducements in the
form of increased premiums, and at pres
ent the prospects are that their fair this
year will be fully equal to the New Eng
land Fair, and we therefore hope that all
the farmers, mechanics and others in this
section of Vermont and New Hampshire
will be fully represented by their stock,
products and manufactures, and thus not
be behind their neighbors who live fur
Their off.
Among the attractions will be the Ger
mania Cornet Band of Boston who will
give two concerts, Tuesday, and the 9TH
err Wednesday evenings, besides furnish
ing music during the fair.
On the second day an address will be
delivered by Prof. G. w. Cushing of
Massachusetts,. There will also be trot-
ting for premiums and purses on each
day, and a purse of $3.50 will be COM
peted for on the last day. The railroads
will carry stock and articles for exhibit
ton free of charge, and visitors for fare
one way, in fine the arrangements are
very complete, and if the fair is not a
success it certainly will be no fault of the
management.
As it may be of some service to ex-
hibitors, we give the names of the super
intendents, all of Brattleboro, who may
be consulted as to any articles or animal
intended for exhibition, in the depart
ment named:
Horses, Geo, G. Lawrence cattle, Geo.
c. Allen; sheep, Horace Fox; Floral
Hall, F. II. Franks; mechanics and
manufacturers Hall, VIM. Holden. The
superintendent of renting the grounds is
Lewis Putnam, also of Brattleboro.
We also append the names of the
principal officers of the Association, as
follows: ...-........
President-Capt. Chester Pike, of Cor
nish, n. H.
Treasurer w. Pierce, Or
ford, N. III.

A VALUABLE LEGACY.--Thel late Hon.
Richard Fletcher of Boston, brother of
ex-Gov. Ryland Fletcher in his will
kindly remembered his native town,
Cavendish, by bequeathing to it his val
liable library, together with two thous-
and dollars to be invested for, and in be-
half of the town, for the purpose of
making an addition of books to the
same.
1t is stipulated in the will, however,
that the town shall erect a suitable build
ing in which to keep the library, and in
case the town does not take measures to
do so, it is TO go to the town of Towns
shend, the residence of his brother, Rev.
Horace Fletcher, d. d., and in case nei-
ther of these towns will erect a suitable
building for the library, it is to go to
any other town or institution that his ex-
ecutor and others named may select.
The library of Judge Fletcher is one
of the best private libraries in the city
of Boston, and we trust the people Of
Cavendish will not be so blind to their
own interests, and to the welfare of the
rising generation as to let this golden OPP
portunity pass unnoticed.

PuTNEY CHEESE FAcToRY.-Several

themselves into an association last sprin,
for the manufacture of cheese, and COM
menced making cheese June 9th, under
the direction of Mr.. o. Thwing. He
made about 100 cheeses and did well.
but on account of i'll health was obliged
to give it up, and the company then
hired a Mr.. Speight, an experienced
cheese maker in Wilbraham, Mass, and
he is now making three or four per day
of very superior quality. The promise
is SO good that an association was per-
manently organized at a meeting held
Aug. It'll, Mr.. Hooper being chairman,
and the following officers were chosen !:
President, N. E. Priest; Vice President,

THE CIRCUS AND CARAvAN.-French's
circus and caravan gave highly salts
factory entertainment here on Wednes-
day and during the afternoon and eve
ming was visited by some four thousand
people. The Arabs and their perform
ances were interesting, and gymnastic
exercises generally were free from the
uncouth figures which have formerly
been the characteristics of the ring. Our
old friend G. M. Clark, who is so well
and favorably known in this section, and
who plays the funny mans part in the
ring, is decided improvement on the
stale and vulgar performances which
have formerly quite too largely prevailed
in such places. He gave some "good
Shots" combined with song and senti-
ment, and was we'll received. BY the
way he and Mr.. French the proprietor,
are both Vermonters, the latter who now
halls from Detroit, Michigan, being a
native of Reading, where he formerly
drove stage, and we believe Mr.. Clark
is also a native of the same town, and
whose residence is now in Felchville.

THE BABY ELEPHANT.-The baby ell
ephant here at the exhibition on We'd
nesday is two years old. At the time of
the accident to the mother above Lud-
low, it was tied to a post of the fence,
when an amusing incident occurred.
Quite crowd had collected, and a chap
had fed the animal various articles, and
at last gave it some tobacco. The young
man sat upon the fence, near by, and on
learning the nature of the article last
given, it beloved and struck at the fell
low with his trunk, but did not hit him.,
and the animal broke the boards of the
fence to get at him, and the young man
made rather rapid strides across the lot /;
had the elephant succeeded in getting
away, the crowd would have been treated
to somewhat interesting chase.
