leaves, moss and flowers, that was well ar
ranged; and shrubs Of the cactus species
were presented by Miss Jennie Stowell of
this village. A gents scarf by Mrs. Smith
of Johnson, looked serviceable enough FOR
any Vermont winter. An interesting
collection Of shells by Mrs. Sheldon of
Stowe, embraced almost every known va
riety. The culinary department was full );
many delicate cakes, marble cakes, citrou
cakes, fruit cakes; wheat bread, and old
brown bread just such as our

cannot fail to mention splendid gold

probably surpasses any former exhibition
in the county. That it was profitable as
well as pleasant to both exhibitors and
visitors there can be no doubt
