Cattle at the new York state Fair.
The Country Gentleman says of the cat
tie classes, the display of Short-horns in
numbers and quality, has not been equal
led in several years. That of DeYons was
also remarkably excellent. The charac-
ter and merits of Herefords were well
illustrated in the contributions from the
long established and carefully sustained
herd of Mr.. Erastus Corning, of Albany,
with young bull of merit from Clark
son Brothers, of Potsdam. In Ayrshires
we have had much larger and better
shows, but those exhibited were good,
useful lot, which we dare say would do
themselves credit in the dairy. Of Jer-
sey, ON some occasions, we have also had
a larger show, but perhaps none that was
| of higher type. HOlsteins were out in
sufficient force to show the growing pop
ularity of the breed; the two herds ex-
lIibited were excellent, and the number
eatalogued was double that of 1875, tho
somewhat fewer than in 1873 and 1874
| Mr.. G. F. Taber, of Patterson, Putnam
| county, showed the Norfolk Red Polled
cattle he has been importing the last two
or three years-their first appearance eX-
| cept last year at Elmira. And finally, the
| exhibition of grades, milch cows, work
numbers, struck us unusually interesting,
and we saw that it attracted the especial
attention of farmers generally. Short
horn, Devon, Ayrshire and Jersey eros
ses, were all there, to show how strong
ly they partake the characteristic merits
of their respective breeds-a demOnstra-
ton that can scarcely fail of its lessons
in the improvement of our stock. Mr..
Harrison's fat steer three-quarter Short
hOrn) was q fine specimen of a three
years-old, and George Ayrault, of POugh-
keepsie, made an extra good display i'll
the different sections of this class. The
working oxen of Capt.-Hilton and BENZ
Fellows were much admired examples OF
the excellence and beauty of the Devon
for The yOke.-PrGiTie Farmer.
We grow. The total vote, Tuesday, in
Hamilton county, on Judge of the Su-
preme Court, was over $1,000. The total
vote on Governor last year, was 4S, ,537.-
A gain of 1000 year in a population
will soon make Cincinnati city of the
first class. 1t is rather severe on. Ken
lucky, however, Cincinnati Gazette.
That large and bare-faced frauds on
the ballOt-bOx were committed in this city
on Tuesday, is very well known, and the
Republican managers will fall far short OF
their duty if they do not contest the cleo
ton OF the county officers. The poll
books for several of the Wards contain
bogus names, and also names of men who
are not legal voters, and the latter can
easily be hunted up and run down, while
it can be shown that the names of hun
dreds of men are on the poll-books who
have no residence in the Ward or Pre-
cinct where the votes were cast. There
can be no higher duty than that of expos,
ing and furnishing election frauds, anG
since this was not done on election day
} it ought to be done now.-I6.
John G. Thompson became strangely
excited about the time for Wood county
to come in, Tuesday night. He had hearG
, from Cincinnati and Cleveland, and there
was gleam of hope that thousand from
the hOop-pole district might help us out.
His eccentric conduct led many person!
to believe that he was drunk, and he wa!
kicked out of hotel on that theory, bu
it was subsequently shown that his symp
toms were due to mental eXaltations con
| sequent upon the discovery that the dar
ing frauds contemplated by the Republic
cans i'll Ohio had been prevented. Mr.
Thompson is very severe upon persons
who tamper with the sanctity of the bal
let-box.-I6.
