The sheep department was we'll filed, the

The three last lots mentioned we're unusually
even and mer.orious for large lots, s..,
There was good lot Of poultry ofseveral
Of the popular breeds, but we did not pro.
cure any names Of exhibitors. '.
Partly by carelessness we failed to see
the cavalcade Of horses of all classes, and
can give no report. Others who examined
them stated that there was good show.
The trotters made their presence known, as
usual, and attracted much attention, rather
moro than their just share, il we may be
permitted to Judge. One Of the most intel
lgent farmers Of cur cquaintance remarked
that il is q pity that other departments of
fairs cannot excite the interest and draw
the people like race.
One solitary pig. slept in his pen, all I'M
: conscious Of, or Indifferent to, the fact that
he bore all the honors Of the poroine depart
meut From regard for the feelings of the
rest Of his race, we refrain from recording his
name.
OF farming tools and agricultural imple.
ments there were very few. The Vermont
Farm Machine company were represented by
the well-knowu Cleaner rake, (shown by @
, ~ Bacon of Chelseal, to which they have
recently added SIMPLE attachment by which
