| Last evening the third exhibition of the
State Poultry Association came to close, af.
ter a session of six days. To say that the ex.
hibition has been a success hardly gives an
| idea Of its extent. When the first exhibition
was held here, three years ago. there were 400
entries, and it was thought that it was very
| successful affair. Last year there were double
| the entries of the year before, and then it was
thought that the success was very great, and
every one went mad over the pretty hens, but
| this year-the year Of hard times-there have
been 1000 entries, and it is estimated that dur
ing the past week between 10000 and $4,000
persons have visited the exhibition. Another
interesting fact is that the birds which took all
the first and second years of the exhibition
have not taken anything this season. This is
very encouraging to our breeders, in this vicn-
ity They did not take many premiums at the
first exhibition, but sincs that they have i'm
proved their stock and are now able to COM
pete in exhibitions anywhere in New Eng.
land.
Yesterday morning there was an auction s ale
of fowl. f. o. Bailey, the we'll known aue-
tioneer, oficiated in his usual good style.
There was but little activity ir the bidding and
Mr.. Young of New York was the chief bidder
About 40 birds were sold and the sale amount
ed to about $500 in the aggregate.
The exhibition was we'll attended in the
early part of the evening, but the crow left
early, and promptly at ten o'clock the owners
began to remove their fowl The most of the
gentlemen residing east left on the Pullman
train, taking their fowl with them. This
morning the remainder of the coops will be re-
moved and the hall will be quiet once more.
The work of removing the coops is most To.
dious one. No one is allowed to take anything
past the doorkeeper without a pass from the
directors. This is necessary to prevent per-
sons taking birds not belonging to them.
The treasurer, Mr.. Fred. f. Harris, reports
that he has paid nearly all of the premiums.
There are number of exhibitors who left be.
fore the exhition closed aud have not yet re-
ceived their premiums. These will be paid
promptly on application to the treasurer.
In closing the reports of this very interesting
exhibition it is but just to speak of the various
officers who have been untirng in their efforts
to make it success and give our reporter all
the information possible. The president, Mr..
Albert Noyes, has been in attendance constant
ly and has done his utmost TO make everything
go smoothly. Messrs Conant, Harris, Lewis
of the Board of Directors, have been on hand
at all times since the exhibition opened and
nothing that could be done by them to make it
the success that it was, has been neglected

constantly at his post and has aided the report.
ers materially in the arrangement of premi-
ums.
The association will at once commence ar
engagements for the exhibition of 1877, and if
it is as successful as the one of 1876 no one will
have reason to complain.

"Tho Republican party is dead"
Two short years ago, this was the
emphatic declaration of an eminent
American statesman and jurist who
belonged to that organization when
it numbered patriotic, disintcrested
men in its ranks; men whose voices
have seldom been heard Of late on
national affairs, and then only to
overwhclm with withering contempt
the incapablcs and thieves who TO-
gctlcr have controlled the dcstinics
of our Union during the past ten
years. The Republican party is dead
to-day dc jare and dc .flcto, dead as
the issues that gave it being and
which have long since passed into
history; but in its place there stands
an organization calling itself by the
same name, whose chiefs and rank
and file are banded together by the
mere cohesive power OF public plum
der.
The platform of the Republican
party was originally confined to the
exclusion of slavery from the Terri
tories, and the consequent preven.
ton of other slave States being ad-
dcd to the Union. That object nc.
complished, the party had virtually
no logical reason for continuing its
organization; but the apolia olima of
the South, added to the sweets of fed
oral ollicc-holding, were irresistible
arguments against disbanding; and
as an excuse for continuing in pow
or, now-fangled plank was added to
the old platform with the high.soumd-
ing name of "ros5nstruction' We
were graycly informed that "thc pOr-
