WINDSOR COUNTY fAR.-The twenty ninth an
nual fair Of this county was held at Woodstock on
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday, Of last week,
and the people Of the county greatly elated at
the success which attended it, The display in the
halls, especially Of the dairy products vegetables
and fruits, was very large and nice There were
one hundred and four yoke Of oxen, many of
which were very large and In splendid condition
The display of cattle was very fine, especially in
the Jersey line. 4, s. Wood, OF Pomfret, showed
an old COW, her daughter, granddaughter, and
great-grand-daughter, the latter making ono pound
and half Of butter right along. There were four
teen two-year-old heifers. forty -nine yearling
heiiers, nineteen bulls, thirty three calves, ono
hundred and fifty merino sheep, foty-seyen cots
wolds, one hundred and thirty southdowns and
forty mine grades. The swine numbered sixty
six, among them some very choice Berkshires
There were seven coops Of hens, four Of ducks,
four Of turkeys, and dfty-fye Of other fowls,
mostly Of choice breeds. The imported and home.
bred southdowns, owned by Hon Frederick Bill
lings, al also his seventeen Jersey cattle elected
very much praise. An especially attractive fea-
ture Of the show was herd Of nine red Norfolk
polled cattle, exhibited by A. b. burke. Of Hart
land. Among the horses were several especially
noticeable ones and spans The horse trot came
of, and with full more than the average interest.
In view Of the fact that this is the third successful
fair in the county this season. our Windsor county
friends may well be little proud Of the good
time " they have had, despite the slight drawback
Of rainy day in the midst Of their festival.
They slipped up ON their address, which, In view
Of the circumstance that 1t Is quite ~ apt 10 be
voted bore As anything else, was probably no,

Nor LEGALLY COUNTED. North Star starts
the bug-bear that the vote for senators In Gale
donia was not legally counted. Ii appears that a
section VI the general statutes provides that the
votes for county senators shall be counted by the
clerk Of the county, or in case Of his absence OF
disability, by the sheriff, OF in the laiters absence
by the high bailiff the tenth day after election
II appears in that coon'y that the votes were not
canyassed by either Of these officers; but by p ID.
Blodgett, deputy clerk, who certifes to the fact,
and announces the same TO the freemen Of the
county in an advertisement recently published in
the Caiedontcai. Il says: "Now the question
comes up as to how the deputy clerk managed to
get mixed up in this manner when the law eIpli-
city says who shall canvass votes In the absence
or disability of the clerk. OF course there is no
such officer recognized in this sisas as deputy
clerk, and of course also, Granger and Harris cleo
ton will be contested" Wesuspect, however, that
the Star is excited without reasonable cause, and
we imagine that Caledonia county viii not be I'M
represented in the senate this year.

IiIsToRIcAL SOCIETY MEETING. The st. Adams
Messenger says "Having had the pleasure Of
hearing portions of the address Of L. L. butcher
Esq, to be delivered before the Vermont Histor-
zeal Society in the Representatives Hall at Mont
pelier, ON Tuesday evening, October 18th, on
"Iife in the Primitive Log Cabins Of Vermont"
it gives us pleasure to say that the Society and the
public will find 1t very interesting paper. He
gances, Of course, at the early history Of the New
Hampshire Grants, then unfolds the characters Of
the settlers, and finally portrays their manner Of
living, Their danger, hardships rude enjoyments,
domestic happiness, weddings, bees, journeys, re-
ligous devotion and public spirit, the whole being
interspersed with anecdotes and set forth with a
simplicity Of narrative which renders the picture
as charming as it Is vivid. The only regret of
the listener will be the same that must possess the
author-that the proper limits of the occasion do
not permit him to dwell long oman ever interesting
theme, and draw further from a treasure house 80
full of quaint delights"
