THE VERMONT STATE FAIR.
First Day-Tuesday.

PROSPECT OF AN FNINENTLY SUCCESSFUL AZ
FAIR.
The first day, Tuesday Sept. 18th ,ofthe 26th
annual fair of the Vermont State Agricul-
tural Society and Wool Growers Associa-
ton. opened auspiciously at st. Adams.
Bellevue Driving Park, which is situated
one half mile from the village on an eleya-
ton commanding a charming view of the
lake and mountains, has the advantage and
merit of new building and structures, with
all the improvements and conveniences that
time and experience has suggested or de-
sired. The track is half mile one, and
pronounced by all horsemen to be the best
course in the State, and the fast time that has
been made at races heretofore corroborates
the statement.
The show of stock and cattle is said by
those competent to judge to be superior
both in variety and fnencss of breed. AVID in
point of numbers, to exceed that of any pre-
vious fair of the society.
The Ransom Guard Battalion Band OF 81
pieces, Henry W. Hatch leader, furnish
music for the three days of the Fair, which
is guaranty that it will be first-class, and
Of meritoriOus order.

Thar HYDEPARK 0UTRAGE.-lt Is stated
that the reported tramp outrage upon Mrs
Perry. of Hydepark. sometime since, was
not committed by tramps at all. Perry
has been in the habit of brutally beating bis

stones and dirt and took the chlOroform
that made her insensible. All the broken

under the doors, are traced to the family
themselves. The whole region has been
frightened Tor weeks over these supposed
