ards in the county, completed the list Of
fruits, which, to say the least, were as
fine as any ever exhibiled at a county
fair. A tempting array of canned fruits
caused many wistful glances and COM
plimentary comments.3 The list of vege-
tables was long and varied, comprising
some Of the finest samples we have ever
seen; potatoes, tomatoes, squashes, tur-
gips, corn, cabbage, and, in fact, all
vegetables raised in this community for
the good of man and, bis appetite, were
temptingly arranged before the eyes Of
visitors. - ~

the principal point of attraction to farm
ers and practical men is the fine show
of machinery, from various manufac-
tories. John F. RusselPs small vertical
engine, which was made by him during
leisure hours, and for which he received
silver medal at the Northern Ohio
Fair Of 1879 is used in operating the
machines of c. Russell & Co.
The specimens Of taxidermy, from
the museum Of Mt. Union College,
bring together many observers. There
are some fine specimens in this collec-
ton, that have been procured with great
trouble.
." STOCK.
There is a creditable display of fine
stock on the ground. The number oi
horses entered for premiums is not SO
large as it has been on previous occa.
sions, but all that have been entered are
| deserving of attention. The number oi
cattle is fully up to the standard. Jacob
Swartz, of Lake township, has some fine
entries. One bull belonging to him
weighs 2,3oo pounds, and a three yeai
old steer weighs nearly}I,9oo. The en-
tries Of sheep and hogs comprise some
fine animals, that are worth looking at
