Washington County Fair.


We gave last week list Of the entries in the
stock department There were some additional
entries on Wednesday but the pcryersity Of the
weather prevented as large display as would
otherwise have occurred. The show, however, In
every department was exceedingly creditable, and
the attendance on the second day was very much
larger than could have been xpected-number-
ing something like three thousand. But the
weather was cold the showers frequent, and
general sentiment Of gloom seemed to peryade
everything
In the horse department one Of the most notice
able things was the absence Of anything which
would betoken the owners Of the animals, or
would express in what class for premiums they
were entered. The show was not large, but TO
considerable extent made up in quality what II
lacked in quantity For matched driving horses
Captain o. c. Wilder, OF waitsfed entered a
splendid pair Of bays +. u. Stevens, Fast Mont
pelier, pair Of blacks, large and handsome, and
Mark NJ Cutler OF Montpelier, pair Of Chest
nuts that showed but one set Of legs so evenly
did they step, while willard & Pearsons had a
pair not quite so well matched as the others, but
good For single drivers, William Farewell, Of
Barre, entered splendid stopper, did J.. II. JOS
Ign of Waitsfeld, D. W. Dudley and c. J. Gleason,
Of Montpelier, G. W. lawson Of Barre, Charles
keene Of Montpelier, J. Van Dusen and +. A.
Dumas Of Waitsfeld, and II. o. Worthen Of Barre.
These horses were exceedingly meritorious-
horses that any one would be proud to own. and
a credit to their class
The show Of swine comprised big hogs and lit
tie ones, black ones and white ones and a sprink-
ling Of mixtures, and those that like them can
perhaps describe them Theowners said they had
merits, and your reporter will concede this TO be
fact rather than TO get into any dispute
Floral Hall, so empty Tuesday, filed up wonder
fully Wednesday forenoon, and your reporter
could only glance at a few Of the more prominent
exhibits.

granite from his own town and several specimens
Of marble--all slSiltully worked and beautifully

day was much larger than could have been ex-
pected considering the state OF the weather The
arrangements by the officers of the society were
admirable and every one OF them is deserving of
great credit for their untring zeal and intelligent
discretion in preparing and carrying out the en-
tire programme
The fair passed off without accident or serious
misfortune of any kind The crowd took the uu-
propitious weather good-naturedly, and the police
had little to do except to keep the track clear OF
people during the trot

II Is recorded of Mr. Moody that when
a small boy he had little faith IN prayer.
Once, when he was creeping under q
heavy fence, it fell down upon him and
caught him, so that he could not get
away. Tie struggleCSuntil he was quite
exhausted, and then began to cry for
help; but he was far from any house,
and no one heard him. At last he got
safely out, and this was the account he
gave of his escape: q tried and tried
and I couldn't lift them aufnl heavy
rails then I hoilered for help, and no.
body came; and then I began to think l
should have TO die away up there on the
mountains all alone. But happened to
think, maybe God would help me, 20 !
asked Him. And after that ! could lift
the rails as easy! His last term Of
school was in the winter OF his 18th year.
He was the leading spirit among the
boys, and so much mischief did he lead
them into that al length the teacher was
in despair and threatened to turn him
out. At this his mother was sorely
grieved She told him how much
ashamed she would be to have one Of
her sons turned ont of school, and di-
rected him to 60 70 the teacher, ask Tor
piveness for his bad conduct, and try to
be credit to his mother rather than a
disgrace. This he did in all sincerity
and the rest Of the term, for the first
time in his life, applied himself faith
fully to study. But it was too late for
him to become a scholar.

In the campaign Of Napoleon in Rus

low cottage, in little village, an invalid
boy. This village was exactly in the
course of the retreating army, and al
ready the reports OF It's approach had
reached, and terrified the excited inhab-
itants. In their turn, they began TO
make preparations for retreat; for they
knew there was no hope for them from
the hands of the soldiers. Every one
who had the strength to fly, fed; some
trying to take with them their werIdlv
goods, others to conceal them. The lit
Tie village was fas. growing deserted
Some burnt or dismartled their houses.
The Old were placed in wagons, and the
young hurried their families away with
them. But in the little cottage there
