Orleans County Far.

The fair opened on Tuesday with thin
attendance, though about as many as usually
attend the first day
The show OF horses was never better, and
Of cattle about an average. The show Of
sheep and hogs was small, but very good SO
far as it went. In Floral hall there was not
so extensive show as there has been Of
some times, but what articles there were
were very fine. In quality il never was
excelled here. N. f. Ball of Derby, f. Z.
Cheney and Mr. Simonds Of Glover had a
fair show Of apples, tomatoes, etc. In the
vegetable department and the mechanics
department there was q small show. On
Wednesday there was very large number
Of persons present, and no drunkenness Il
speak Of Taking all in all the show has
been very satisfactory one. The weather
could not have been improved upon, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves, looking at what
there was to be seen and listening to the
music Of the organs in Floral hall, and the
bAWling of the side-shoWmsn outside. Nj
Allen, aeronaut has been busily engaged
experimenting the manufacturing Of the gas
for the balloon, and il the weather prove,
favorable, we predict big crowd and very
successful ascension for him and his "ton
turkey" tomorrow. .Itut

Moody and SankSy held an outdoor meet=

had 1000 hearers in the morning and 2 900
at 5 O'Clock. In the morning Mr. Moody
announced as his text Except mao DO

Bible, because he believed the Bible 10 be
true, from front 10 back, and because he
believed it to be Gods word. What we
wanted to know was what God said. not

worth more than ten thousand words Of man.

Franklin County Fair.

In addition to our brief report from this
fair, last week, we gather the following from
the Messenger:
The display of butter and cheese was much
smaller than usual, but the quality was good.
There was a good display Of farm produce,
particularly of fruit, though this was not of
remarkable size. The vegetables were of
good size and quality. o. Il. Chase of Fair
fax exhibited nineteen varieties of apples,
Cyrus X. Keith of Sheldon twenty-five, j.
W. Green of Franklin seventy four, and O.
Is. Hubbard Of Swanton exhibited twenty
two varieties Of apples and grapes. The
show OF maple sugar and honey was quite
small. There was the usual deficiency in
the line of farm implements, but prominent
among those shown were the celebrated com.
partment pans, made by w. o. Campbell x
Go of RichfOrd, which, with the pans Of M
Il. Smith Of Riehford, drew much attention
from dairymen.
There were carriages from Bedard Bros
of st Adams and Il. Wilder Of Swanton Cen
ter, excellent samples of binding from the
Advertiser office, doors, sash and blinds from
W. G. Benton OF Enosburgh Falls, cloth
flannel, etc, from the Lamoile mills, and
many other manufactured articles which we
do not recognize as being of home manuiac-
ture. |.
The exhibition of cattle is probably Al
large as last year, but the entries are Sc
numerous that we have no room to particu
larize.
The display Of horses is as good as las
year, and among swine and fowls a littl'
more interest was manifested.

The New England Fair.

We gather the following account of the
fair mostly from our exchanges. The fair
was held in conjunction with the New Hamp-
shire state fair, at Manchester, commencing
Tuesday, September 7. We have space to
mention very little but the Vermont prOdue-
tions. s.ttHr.as
The stock department was we'll filled,
largely from New Hampshire, with large,
hpe animals. Tue oxen were well TpfDpOr-

good workers. John l.. Gibbs Of Compton,

ing the bull Prince Hubert, three years old

Festival at Mortified.


Saturday morning, September 18th, was
cold and frosty with stiff breeze, evidently
pretty direct from the regions Of perpetual
snow and giant ioebergs. Yet sgoodly num-
Der estimated at 500 Of the citizens of this
town aud those round about, met on our fair
ground, in response 10 the call for labor
ing man and womuns picnic or festival.
An organization was extemporiAsd by the
appointment Of d. T. Averill, president aud
Leroy A. Flint, secretary. TIE North6eld
baud was on hand and responded promptly
to the repeated calls for music-good music
too, as they always furnish. A dinner was
given them, a genuine picnic dinner, being
gathered from the baskets Of the assembled
friends. After general repast--spread by
some in floral hail. aud by some on the hill
side, in the pleasant sunshine---soul stirring
music by the band again gathered the crowd
which then had the pleasure Of listening to
fne poem by Mrs Boyce Of Faystou.
Brief, but stirring speeches were made by
Mr. G. 0. Boyce, Rev Il. A. Green, Dan
Tarbell, II. Hayward and others, after which
interest centercd at the track to witness
some hne equestrianship by Misses Jones and
DeDsmore. 1t was quito interesting, and
will be repeated at our coming fair some
what improved upon, possibly.
Mention should be made of some fine
vocal music, intermediate with other ceremo
mics. A we'll drilled grange choir sang sew
eral pieces To good acceptance "0ld New
England" and "Nearer my God, to Thee
were also finely rendered by local choir
The Central Vermont railroad is deserving
OF thanks for stopping its various trains at
the ground. Mr. Crosby came late in the
day and answered, no doubt, many inquiries
Of friends. On the whole, Mr. Editor, il
was most decidedly good to be there"
Mrs Boyce's poem demonstrated clearly
that We have poets among us.

New Jersey, as soon as candidate receives

SO well that the worthy master Of the state

to adopt it.
The Patrons of Texas have concluded to

implements on a large scale. A joint stock
company is projected with capital Of $780,

The grange picnic held at the fair ground
between Ludlow and ProotOrsville, Septem

splendid one for the occasion. 1t was esti
mated that eight hundred to 1000 person
were present, most Of whom were member
Of the order. The Ludlow and Mount Holl
bands furnished music, each playing admira

uniform, made fine appearance, and an
citizen of the town has reason TO feel prou

Chittenden County Fair.

The Free Press says the county fair last
week was the most successful fair ever held
on the grounds-successful in the large num-
Der of entries, in interest and in attendance.
Everything passed of smoothly and without
jar from first to last; the weather was pro-
pitious throughout, and the fair was COM
plete success. Its success is due, in large
measure, to the officers Of the society, who
have been interchangeable in their efforts to
further its interests, aud who are entitled to
the highest credit for their exertions. The
programme was carried out to the letter, and
exhibitors and the public were we'll served.
