number Of small articles had been entered since
/ the day previous, many of utility and others in
tended for mere ornaments.
J Among the useful We noticed several new
J specimens Of sorghum syrup also specimens of
! cloths. ribbons. silks and satn- renovated and

! ian Pcnmanship, which We're universally adj
/ mircd.
! Considerable additions had also been made to
the display of vegetables, field seeds iellic~,
cakes, fruits, preserves, Sc, and in fact, nearly
| every department had l"cn added TO, so that ii
! would hr almost impossible to itemize every ar
/ ticle, which would, besides, consume too much
! space, and many would have to be repeated in
the award of premiums, which renders It un-
| necessary now.

of the programIne in all cases, and il was, there

ment than 10 ride over any one.

Dluce that knew Mr. Morningstar, he Of the
hnme colorod capillary, will know him no more
