Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1874-09-18

ttlOn was lively and exciting.
The stone was loaded on the boat by
the pair Of oxen entered by John Il. Learn
ed, who also took pull at IL and drew it
some sixteen feet. After these yoke be-
longing to Clement Il Sons, and the pair Of
Benz. Stevens, both OF which succeeded in
moving il quite number of feet. A team
of draft oxen belonging to John Baird, of
South Chittenden, then tried to move it,
and after breaking one whiletree moved it
about sixteen feet.
From the close of this trial until the af.
ternoon, nothing was done save that the
crowd amused themselves by passing from
one hall to another, listening to the voices
Of the itnerant peddlers and showmen who
were found in every corner, as they explain
ed the excellence Of their wares, or the
great curiosities that they had on exhbi-
ton.
AT two o'clock the orator of the day,
Hon. Justin s. Morrill,, appeared upon the
grounds, escorted by the Mortified cornet
band, nineteen pieces, aud the pupils of the
Rutland military institute, who turned out
with thirty-four in their ranks, three officers
and drum corps of eight pieces. We hope
to give Mr.. Morrils address soon.
Following this came the races, which we
have not room to report.
