New ENGLAND FAIR.-Yesterday a very
large number of cattle arrived at the Fair
Grounds and were assigned quarters. So many
entries have been made that the committee
found it necessary to increase the accommoda-
tons by new buildings. Among the cattle ar
irving yesterday were pair of steers from
Litchfield weighing 5000 pounds. A large num-
Der of horses have also arrived, among them
Black Knox, owned by James Howe of Shar-
on; a five year old entered by Ben Larkin, of
Pennington; Daniel Boone, Major Knox; An
ma; John franklin and Black Diamond, all
very fast trotters, who have made their mile in
and under three minutes. The bridge is being
proceeded with, although we believe no def
mite arrangements have been made between
the Trustees and the City Government, but it
is probably all right. r.l.

ing to do with the scholars. 1t is open to those
who pay their admission fee, ard all the youth
will have opportunity to attend it if their pa
rents desire it. Suppose the schools dismiss

The fact is, the vacation has been most
generous one. The pupils are back from the

the school house, and the great mass of the pa
rents in this city desire they should have it as
soon as possible. There is such a thing as over
doing your kindness, even in closing school

been felt by many of our citizens in regard to
the poor condition of the street in front of the
City Hall, and the question is often asked

walks extended here, and the street put in
proper repair? These improvements would.
doubtless, have been made some time ago. had
not project been started to pave this section
with wood.
We understand that the proper committee
has recently had this matter under copsidera-
ton, and that they are favorably disposed to-
wards Robbins Improved Pavement. This
kind of pavement has received the unqualified
appreciation of the authorities of New York,
Brooklyn, Boston and other cities, as easily
cleaned, noiseless, soon dry, and possessing
superior disinfecting qualities; and having
been subjected to the most approved preserva-
tive treatment, it seems just what is wanted
for our purpose, and we are glad that the city
authorities have turned their attention in this
direction.

general awakening and managed to get up a
considerable excitement over their recent
County Convention. Some Republicans in
that County, dissatisfied with the course of
their Senator (Hon. George Cary, upon rail-

and secure that of Daniel Stckney, ESQ, edit
or of the Sunrise. Great preparation had been
made, and the hosts ON either side were mar
shalled with great skill. The conflict was short
sharp and decisive. Senator Cary was renomi-
mated by vote of &c, to 81 for Daniel Stickney.

fed with the result, and promptly hoists the
name of Mr.. Gary at the head of his columns.
