We notice on exhibition a fine display of
homemade fabrics, contributed by the
ladies, and the judges were kept busy on
the first day awarding premiums on carpets,
blankets, quilts counterpanes, patchwork,
hose, embroidery, ETC., etc.
The second day opened cloudy, and the
threatening weather prevented many from
attending, but the display ef swine, sheep.
jacks, brood mares, ETC., was very fine,
while the wines jellies, sweetmeatS, pickles,
brandy, fruits, etc, etc, were freely par
taken of by the awarding committee.
The third day opened unfavorably on ac-
coun' of the rain, which continued to fall
until about Il O'Clock. In The afternoon,
however, the attendance was large, and all
present expressed delight at the number Of
articles on exhibition, and the interest man
ifested in the success ofthe Fair. The Off
