BUTTER.
G.. w. Brewster of lrasburg exhibited two
tubs of regular "glt-edged," elegantly put
up; John Mullen Barnet, some to all appear
ancc equally nicc,alsoJ Cole, West Danvile
1t would be well, and probable we are sure,
to put up all nice butter for market in as
good style as these specimens for the fair.
Messrs Chas. Gates of Peacham, j. X. Gal
brath of Barnet, and Thos. Mason of Water
ford, had also excellent tubs of butter on
exhibition. OF ball butter, Allen Toby of
Calais had fine show from his herd of grade
Jerseys with which stock he is well pleased,
thinks he can make us much, (and better)
butter from them as from any other breed.
Nj. Andrews of Barre had also some extra
ball-butter. j. G. Webster, Lunenburgh,
ball butter was - little too high colored, but
n tub of his make seemed very nice.
CHEESE.
Loren Kinney, Barnet, had some well
made sage cheese; Thos. Mason, of Water
ford, cheese of good appearance and feel that
would have shown better If "a little smoother;
Horace Story and A. NJ. Foster, Cabot, some
of extra appearance, finished and bandaged
equal to finest factory cheese. No factory
cheese on exhibition.
The chief attraction in this line was the
"Sweet Home" of our friend and corrcspon-
dent o. c. Wait Esq, of Georgia, Secty. VT
Bee Keepers Association. 1t consisted of u
glass case containing the perfect model of
cottage house, with all the finish of doors,
windows chimney and jet complete, all
made by the bees, of pure white honey comb.
This is the first successful attempts that we
know of to make the industrious little insects
work by line and plummet. How it was

ut some future time. 1t attracted more at
tention than any thing else in the hail, and
was indeed IL wonder. Mr.. Wait had also
honey extracted from the comb by the newly
invented machine called the "Me-eXtract-
OF" which leaves the comb perfect and al
lows of its being returned to the hive and
some nice boX-honey, noticeable for the neat
finish of the boxes. w. Leach of Ryegate,
A. Brown of st. Johnsbury and w. G. Bart
lett of Danvlle also exhibited beautiful spec
linens of box honey.
A. NJ. Foster of Cabot exhibited some re-
markaby nice well grained, refined sugar,
in tub tastefully ornamented with paint
ing representing sugar camp. lie had also
some beautiful maple honey II. Wakefield,
llardwick, also had some extra refined and
tub sugar, and so did II. Coveny of Danville
Good handsome well made specimens of
tub sugar were also shown by III. n. Roberts

JAS Gilfillan, Barnet; ID. G.. Burroughs,
Kirby; Curtis Stevens, Lyndon; Loren Kin

3 MISCELLANEOUS.
The photographs of Gage of st. .Johnsbury
deserved and attracted much notice. Hast
ings of Lyndon also had some nice pictures.
| Ladies' work in considerable abundance and
variety was displayed, but we find that to do
it justice would exceed our limits, so we dis
miss it with general remark rs to its taste
and attractveness, affording us it did one of
the chief attractions of the fair. A case of
gloves and mttens by Written & Brown of
, Essex, was II sample of II first class Vermont
=, manufacture that all Vermonters must have
been proud to notice A large assortment of
: genuine California Wine from the Los Ange-
los Vineyards of Mr.. Keller, was shown by
f; G. Il w. A. Waters, 1874 and 1876 Fulton st.
| Boston. These wines are noted for their pri-
rity and excellence us well as the Wine Bit
l tiers of the same manufacture vastly differ
/ ent from the nauseous compound of vile
whisky and drugs usually sold under that
name. Merrill's Emery Wheels and Saw
Gummers, of West Charleston, are another
, successful Vermont manufacture of acknowl-
y edged superiority. The display of Harnesses
