ORWELL TOWN FAIR.
Twelfth Annual Fair OF the OrW ell
Farmers club, Sept. 3Oth,
and Oct. list, 1874.
A FINE EXHIBITION.

FINE EAhlblllON.
The twelfth annual fair of the Orwell
farmers club came off as announced on
Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. Both and
Oct. LIST. The bad state of the roads with the
rain of the day previous deferred many from
abroad in visiting US, while there was
corresponding falling off in the number of
entries. Fully one thousand people were
present. and had the weather been favor
able the number would probably have
reached fifteen hundred to two thousand.
We noticed many visitors from Brandon,
Shoreham, Whiting. Benson, Sudbury, I'll.
conderoga, Putnam, and other adjacent
towns. The exhibition was voted CON-
plete success. and Orwell may well feel
proud OF the display made by her towns
people.
HORSES.
There was some sixty entries in the vari-
Gus classes of horses. Among those
worthy of special mention were L. D.
Griswolds three year old filly. Silver MAID,
DR.. }. S. Gales, three year old geding, II.
II. Cuts, two year old stallion, Addison

The Walker horse from Whiting was on
exhibition as a stock horse, and was much
| admired. There were also a great many
yearling, two and three year old colts on
exhibition worthy of notice, but space for
bids.
CATTLE.
We cannot pariicularze in this depart
meut further than to notice the herd OF
Jerseys entered by L. d. Grswold. Herd
of Ayrshres by Charles Sanford and herd
of Devons by Raymond and Branch
There were thirty yokes of oxen on exhi
bition. This number would have been in
creased to fifty had the roads been in goot
condition for travel In this class Mr.. 8

There was also number of native catti,
exhibited which will compare favorably
with any in the state.
SHEEP.
There were nearly one hundred entries il
this class, comprising Mcrinoes from th,
ilocks of Chas. Sanford, o. Raymond
w. o. Bascom II. G. Hibbcrd and others
and the Cotswolds of S. s. Stevens, j. o
Raymond, J. NJ. Doughty, and j. C. Stacy

The display of paintings, flowers, needle
work and fancy articles was very fine, ant
contributed largely to the success of TIN
fair The ladies may congratulate them
selves upon the success which crowne
their efforts in these departments. W.

have to lock to her laurels in this direction
as experience has shown sho has rival Il

A HoRRID BEDFELLow.-A few eve
nings ago a couple of gentlemen living
in clearinghouse in Sacramento were
attracted to the room of a lady in the
same building by her cries that there
was centipede on her bed. The gas
was turned down quite low, but the men
could see the creature on the bed. and
doublinga towel several times, one of
them cast it over the centipede, and
clutched it tightly to prevent its escape.
One of the gentlemen was something of
an amateur scientist, and desired ardent
ly to preserve the centipede as a speci-
men. Accordingly the captured animal
was carried in the towel to drug store,
and quite number of persons gathered
to get look at it. The druggist poured
ehloroform on the towel to Supply the
creature and to prevent the possibility
of escape, and one of the clerks stood
by with an uplifted club to strike it if
it should attempt to get out. The towel
was opened, and the expectant lockers
on we're astOnished and disguised to find
that all the fuss had been made over a
little strip of calieo.-N T. Sun.

The election of U. s. Senator passed
off in the legislature on Tuesday very
quietly, after all. There isso much civ
il service reform afoat, that we did not
know but the matter might be sent to
that department of the service. And
this reminds us that if civil service re-
form is such good thing, we don't
see why it should not be applied to the
election of state officers and congress
men. Let them be. examined by all
means. Such a course might result IN
the election of some democrats, but then
il would be "civil service reform" Both
parties adopted this precious humbug IN
1872. The democrats have never paid
it any attention beyond what use they
can make of it to break down the repub
lcan party. A few republicans still
preach it, but the number who practice !
ia much less. Don't let Us lose sight O

The WHEAT CRoP.-The October re
turns of the Department of Agriculture
show that the wheat crops are equal to,
or greater than last year in all of the
states except Maryland, Virginia, Tex
as, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa and Kansas. In Connecticut, Del.
eware, South Carolina and Illinois it ia
about equal to last years crop. The
other states have increased their weld.
The New England States almost reached
the splendid crop of the census year, ap.
proximating to million bushels. Maine
has increased her yield 80 per cent. The
quality of the crop in these states is con-
siderably improved. The Middle States
have considerably enlarged and improv.
ed their yield, New York reporting an
increase of 16 per cent.

The democrats of this district have
nominated Alexander McLaDe of Fair
lee, for congress. He is an enterprislng
farmer of good personal repute-like
hundreds of others Of both democrats
and republicans in the district. Most OF
the democrats of Orange county voted
for Denison Mt the election In September
but Judge Poland being out of the way,
it is understood they now propose to vote
for their own candidate.

By these totals it will be seen that, de-
Quoting the vote for Davenport from that
of Bingham, taoenty-one hundred and
si9ty democratic votes were cast for some
other than their own candidate for Con.
gress. Now it is hardly supposable that
one Of those votes was given for Judge
Poland, when every democrat paper and
politician in the District was advising
the abandonment Of their own organiza-
ton and candidate for the avowed pur-
pose of defeating the regular Republican
nominee. Deducting this number OF
democratic votes, two thousand one hun
bred and sixty, from Denison's vote, sew
Ell thousand and thirty eight, and we
find it reduced to four thousand, eight
hundred and seventy-eight, or eight hun
bred and sixty.eight less than the vote OF
Judge Poland, Or, to guard against all
bubbles, and give to Colonel Mead his
due proportion of the democratic vote;
which would be about two hundre
we still find a plurality of six hundred
and sixty-eight for Poland over Denison
And by adding the four hundred anC
fifty four republican votes which we hav
left for Col. Mead to the total vote o
Judge Poland, we have republican
majority of one thousand, three hundrec
and twenty-five against Mr.. Denison
We make this analysis solely for th
purpose Of correcting the false statement
in the history of the case and not will

The letter of Mr.. Denison to the re-
publicans of the Second Congressional
District will not fail Of the attention Of
our readers. In the absence Of con
ventional nominee of the republican
party, and the failure of the district
committee to make any provision for the
vacancy, caused by the withdrawal Of
Judge Poland, and also, in view Of the
large vote cast for Mr.. Denison at the
late election, his communication to the
people will have special significance as
answering call from them without th,
usual intervetion. They will doubtless
ratify the said call on the next ballot

ADDE'S. The cashier was awakened in
the night, to find his room occupied by
six masked men, who gagged him, put a
rope around his neck, shut his wife, four
children and servant in closet, and
dragged him to the bank and made him
open the vault, which they robbed OF
about $4,000 in currency, $4,000 in
bonds, mostly government, owned by
Robert r. Hawson, and some other Sc
curities. This done, they led him bach
to his house, tied him to the bed-pos
and left. The family forced open the
closet about four o'clock and gave the
alarm, but no trace of robbers could be
discovered. The cashier thinks at Least
dozen men we're at the bank. The Loss
will not affect the banks solyency.

Mr.. Denison himself distinctly declares
