The County. Fair.

:.sFTL II | iL
 T. The County Fair was ?. much greater
 success in the quality of the cattle exhib- tied on the first day, and in point of num- bers present on the second day, than we
 had expected. especially in view of the threatening weather of Wednesday. The cattle exploited oH the first day were said by good judges to have been a finer lot
 th an have been shown here in years. '. On the second day about two shuudrett and fifty people came up the Shepaug' and large numbers tiocked in from other di- reetions. We are sorry to say, that. most
 of those who cana deemed much disap-
 pointed at there heinz no tret till too late in the day for those who had to return by
 t4e train. The apnouncenent in the pa. ! pers and the bills led people to expect the usual trot which fell, through. entirely An hundred dollars had been raised by. subscription for races between county horses. On Thursday noon Mr.. Marshall Beecher,. of Bethlehem. entered ''Belle Daniels" for the three minute trot, "a: horse l he said he was willing to swear was his property. Messrs. Hitchcock and others claimed that the horseI was really owned in 1 New Haven and the transfernotb bea0 .fde. The Committees decided. to allow MT. Beecher to enter the horse anef lMessrs 1 Hitchcock and others refused to trot, break ing qp the whole trotting programme. The l running race came off between two horses 1 oNnea by Mir; II IT Gilbert of Northfeld, | there being no other entries: Late in the afternoon g small purse was F: sed and. 2 ! close contest Iof three heats, came off be-, tween "Belle Daniels ''ahd .eBlack -Dia- lhond," a WaterburyEho The 'frstheat-

 reed organ was exhibited by Mr. Dayton, of Woleottyille; some nice picture frames t were shown by Bisseif < Downs of Water b baly; and several sewing machines were
 on exhibition The display of fruit was
 much better than we had expected te see; If he apples. grapes, the inevitable squash- les, &c,,I were. on hand i1n fair quanttit ttitY.
 Several nice pencil and erayon drawings tby Miss.A E. Smith, and splendid pen
 and ink sketch of the great American iEa5! gle Qife size) by |. ,J. .s Blake, Esq. were
 among the noticeable aFt featuses. l. J.. 1 Another year we hope and expect to see 1 the old Society, on new grounds, a good
 trotting course, with an cerly snnouncement 1 of premiums, ,and more systematic prepara. l tion, fully equahing the great exhibitions
 of its earlier history. IT. i: . ., ''i1 :, |. The great. -oonferenre;, of Evangelical ] Christians sat New, York. conamences on
