THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Fair of the County Agricultural Society. last week, was reasonably success ful. The show of cattle was good, al- though not so many were on exhibition as usual. The Horse trot brought out a large attendance, as usual, although the foul driving of ''Lady Sheridan" deprived the chief trot of about all the interest it might otherwise have had. That horse came in ahead in no less than five of the six heats, but was ruled out for unfairness in all but two, so that the stakes were finally divided up between the owners of the three competing horses.
 The exhibition in the tent was poor. There was fair show of apples, and some other good fruit was on exhibition. The mechanical department consisted as far as we noticed of Burdett Organ, speci- mems of sewer, drain, we'll and chimney tile, and an American Combination Sew ing Machine. The latter seems an excel lent machine for family, use combining also the special features of a button hole and over-sewing machine which none of the other machines do, making it special ly desirable for general work. Its work manship is first class, and it TUBS with very little noise and very lightly and easi- ly. pr. J. K. Wallace, of Bantam, has the agency for this and several adjoining towns, and those desirous of purchasing machines will do we'll to call on him and examine this ane L5aee. Jg.. .ia ia5rt- -|

We, with others, waited at the polls all day for view of those sixty-fiye Liberals, but cur search was yain-all that showed themselves were fifteen and we judge from the Republican majority lone Hundred and sir on first selectman) that even that fifteen retired without voting. Now if the Sentinel correspondent will recount his Republican allies and report a falling off of fifty from his former esti- mate, he will set himself right with the fact, otherwise his character as trust worthy informant will not stand high here after in the town of Torrington.

 The Democracy of New Haven made their local nominations in that spirit of
 
 harmony that has characterized their pro- eeedings of late years. They first held a convention in which Nr. Gallagher pro- posed the withdrawal of himself and his opponent Lewls from the field, and the nomination of Gov. English for Mayor. The Lewis men insisted on his nomina- tion and the convention broke up in row; then reassembled and nominated Lewis. In the meantime the friends of Mr. Galla- gheF had withdruwn and held a separate convention nominating thatold war horse. Then Gallagher undertook to drive the Lewis men from the polling booths by an injunction which was tried Standby nleht This attempt was unsuccessful, and mat tars were as beautifully mixed up as Re publicans could wish, resulting in the dc felt of Gallagher by Republican ayote given to Lewis.
