ESCAPE AND RE.CAPTURE.-Two wo-
men escaped from jail at Rutland on
Saturday night, and we're re-arrested at
Brandon on Tuesday, and returned to
Rutland. They had sorry time of it,
sleeping in barns and out buildings. 1t
appears they had aid from outside in
making their escape, which was done by
saving off some bars and letting them
selves down with rope made of CON-
mon bed blanket.

Chester Town Fair,

As We write the people Of Chester are
in the midst Of a very successful fair.
We had the pleasure of being present on
the first day, and as the weather is equal
ly pleasant on the second, their general
success cannot fail to be complete.
THE PARK.
In the first place their park is the best
we have ever seen. Besides the grounds
inclosed Tor the track, there is very lib
eral space outside for the exhibition of
stock, and on the south or west side is a
rising ground or bluff, upon which are
floral and mechanics halls, and from
which is very commanding view Of the
entire field. Upon this brow thousands of
people can view the track and all that is
going ON with the utmost convenience,
and in this respect it is superior to any
fair grounds we have ever seen.
Our notice of articles on exhibition
must this week be necessarily brief, leav-
ing for another week the publication of
the premium list and such other matters
as may have general or special interest.
CATTLE AND SHEEP.
The show Of cattle was not only good
but of working oxen very large. There
we're on the ground 1873 yoke of oxen,
100 of whom passed in cavalcade around
the track. Some of these were from An
dover. Wright & Richardson exhibited
an OK weighing 2437 pounds, he is to
be kept till Christmas, so we were inform
ed. Charles F. Henry had three year
old steer weighing 3645 pounds. III. III.
Collins fine three years old Durham
b IL. weight 2200. The improved stock
in Chester appears to be mainly Durham
and grade Durham, though FL. Davis
had several Jersey cows and heifers. d.
D. Williams made good exhibition of
both cattle and Merino sheep. The
show of sheep was not large, but A. F.
Baldwin had good specimens, beside a
fine looking seven year old COW, of whose
qualities however we did not learn.

FLORAL HALL.

Here was beauty and fair in double
sense AT no similar exhibition, coun-
ty, Valley or State, have we ever seen
so fine display of oil paintings, main.
ly by Miss Abbie M. Sergeant, who had
% specimens on exhibition including one
crayon. Among these were scene in
the Yosemite, another in the Rocky
Mountains, White Mountain scene, and
Ruins of Nidae," Prussian scene.
Miss Sergeant, we understand, has been
successful teacher in Virginia, some
portion of the time since the war, but at
various times has given her attention to
these paintings, which show rare skill as
an artist, and which are fairly entitled
to high awards for their excellence
and beauty. There were also two oil
paintings by Mrs. j. S. Chapman of much
merit, especially the larger one, repre-
senting IN part water fall or rapids.
Miss Ella Martin also had mezzotint
picture of good work. OF other nice
things in this hall we will mention few :
A beautiful cross by Mrs. r. A. Deming 4;
thrifty house plants and fernery by Mrs.
W. II. Cram; Miss Emma Hart of
Westminster had three quilts, one of
iii pieces; very pretty and substan-
tial quilt was that of Mrs. Maj. Rounds :;
an agricultural wreath, made of seeds.
&c, by Mrs. p. Andrus, was special
attraction; near it was some fine hair
work by Mrs. Alden Jaquith of Andov-
err; several worsted tides by Miss Anna
ID. Sergeant, showed excellent work. A
grass boquet by Mrs. NJ. Baldwin, mace
OF all kinds of grass, was much admired.
both for general beauty and the skill
with which it was arranged; bead bas.
ket by Katie A. Cone, and a cross of au-
tumn leaves by Clara I. Walker of
Grafton, were nice handiwork, as we'll as
the wall pocket by Miss Lucy Prouty,
whitfield with jack-kniie. OF other
attractions were the stuffed birds by
Mrs. NJ. Baldwin, including prairie hen
and wild duck of the Mississippi. and
We must not forget neat little lamp
mat and tidy, made by Miss Ella NJ.
Wassamer, II years of age and who is
of good old South Reading origin, and

HORSES.

Horses we're not numerous, but much
interest prevailed in the races of which
we shall be likely to have a report next
week. A Kentucky stallion, of bright
bay color, attracted much attention.
During the afternoon "Gray Billy y
owned by r. L. Lowell, won the race
and prize of $50.
There were two or three pens of good
looking swine.
The show of Poultry included several
of the present most popular breeds, Par
fridge Cochins, brown Leghorns, Ban
tams, Bramahs, &c. Malcom Baldwin
had s brown ducks, besides other poul-
try, and Ezra Robinson had several
Partridge Cochins and brown Legborns
that were beauties.
