Among the most pleasing sights in
floral hall was the exhibition of six pure
white kittens in cage, exhibited by Misses
Oracle and May Griswold. They drew
crowds to look at them and were really a
pretty sight
We can only say in addition that in the
floral hall the ladies Of Orwell must have
beat themselves on this occasion.
There were but few fowls on exhibition
but they were of first class, and among them
we noticed fine collection consisting of s
coops, entered by c C Griswold; also
doves; also peacocks, ducks, and guinea
hens by Geo l. Griswold; and duck by F NJ
IIathorn.
j B Conkcy, entered 50 varieties of APP
pies, some ofthem ofcxccllent quality; and
II. ID. Branch and company of the Orwell
nurseries, presented fine varieties of all
kinds of apples, grapes, pears, etc, which
indicated valuable collection of vines and
trees belonging to their nurserrey.

At j o'clock hcpcoplc gathered in front Of
the Congregational church, when after
music by the Land, Mr.. Branch the Presi-
dent introduced Rev. NJ, L. Severance, pas
tor of the church, to the audience.
Mr.. Severance said that he had been
limited to speech of ten minutes and
could not be expected to give very cx-
tended dissertation on the great subject OF
agriculture. The gathering was one which
was COMMUNICABLE and brought ncighbors
INTO honorable competition where they could
compare, animals and products, noting the
methods by which each sought in his own
way to excel. The improv emcnts in az
r.culture, had been constant through all
ages, and science was speedily bringing
to light new facts for the benefit of those
who till the soil. The ancient methods of
cultlvating the earth and the scientific facts.
Elaborated were, briefly brought out by
the speaker in an interesting manner
and evinced much study and learning on
his part and some of his suggestions were
valuable, and new to every auditor, es-
pccially in the contrasts of ancient with
modern agriculture. 1t has been rarely
our fortune to listen to AZ much practical
and valuable instruction, given as was pre-
scented by Mr.. Severance in his fifteen
minutes address.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Severance adj
dress III response to call, Henry
Clark of the Rutland GLOBE, was intro
duccd, who briefly spoke of the main fea-
lures of the days exhibition concluding
with some suggestions as to the duty of the
farmer in reference to several questions
now before the American people for dis
cusson and decision.
The Ticondcroga Cornet Band furnish
cd the music for the occasion and performed
their part with great credit
The success of the exhibition was greatly
promoted by the efficient labors of Mr.
Branch the President, Mr. G. A. Kimball
the efficient and courteous Secretary.
May the 10Th annual Fair of the Orwell
Farmers Club be as succ essful as was its
eleventh.
