SOMERSET COUNTY.
Agricultural Fair at Skowhegan.

SKowHEGAN, Sept 81, 1876.
Somerset County Agricultural Society hold
their annual exhibition here this week, and as
some change has been made in their plans from
years past considerable more interest has been
manifested than ever before. The show of
fancy articles, household manufactures, mus-
cal instruments, carpeting, and furnishing
goods, vegetables, fruit, and poultry is at Co.
burn Hall, while the show of horses, cattle,
sheep, swine, &C., is on the fair grounds as
usual.
The first days show at the grounds Tuesday
has been nall and the heavy rains last night
will prevent any fall exhibition of stock or trot-
ting. Our examination has been wholly con.
fined to Coburn Hall. There is evidence on
every hand that the enterprising men of Show
hogan and adjoining towns are doing what
they can to make the show success. While
we cannot enumerate all the different articles
and perhaps not all the classes we can give the
general outlook of the hall and of those things
which seem to attract most attention.
The Union Slate Co. make very fine display
of their marbeized goods, the finest we have
seen and which calls for praise on every hand
Bixby & Buck make large display of fancy
articles; Gen. G. Varney, of carpets, rugs,
crockery; Bailey's oil cloth works, full line Of
their goods; Hartland Wooden Mills, fine dis.
play of shawls and woolens; Coburn Wooden
Mills, a good show of their goods; Mitchell 8
Marston of Watervile, several of the Bay State
organs, and there are a number of others oil
different makes
c. A. Williams & Co. make a fine display oil
harnesses made by new process patented by
this firm. Vose g. conant have added yer,
much to the show by their display of pictures
from their art galleries. A MIR. Rollins makes
fine display of vases, tumblers, bowls, nap
| kin rings, &C., &c., made by hand, showing
| the wonders that can be accomplished in wood
turning. These are beautiful in design ant
finish and really curiosities. j. P. Farwel
makes full display of household furnishing
goods, and Estes & Symons of genSemen's fur
nshing goods. Mr.. W. Fl. Garland exhibit
some furniture which shows thorough work

The Portland daily press., 1876-09-28

The Centennial department is being filled
with articles of interest, and today will, we
think, see this class full.
The show of vegetables and fruit is small.
The show of poultry is very large, and the
stock very fine. There is more on exhibition
here than at the state fair this fall-from 20 to
so trios of the leading varieties. Fairfield sends
up 81 trios of fine fowl. This, branch of the
show attracts great attention and the room is
filled with people all the time.
The opening address last evening WAS by
Rev. Henry Pierce of this town, who was intro
duced by Ex-Gov. Coburn. Rev. DR.. IAllen of
Orono is to deliver the address tonight If the
weather Is pleasant the attendance will be
large as the show merits. SETH.

The Portland Fraternity.

In the winter of 1901, general discus
sion, which had long been progressing in des-
ultory way among the citizens connected with
the liberal churches of the city eliminated in
series of public meetings at Congress Square
Church. at which the organization of the Port
land Fraternity was effected hegeneral pur-
poses of the society were to provide pleasant
reading and amusement rooms for those desti-
tute of home comforts and to establish night
school for the instruction of those who were
unable to avail themselves of educational facil-
tiles. The matter was heartily and generously
pushed forward to a satisfactory result and for
nearly six years the Fraternity has been pursu-
ing its Denefcent work. So marked has been
its success that it has outgrown its rooms on
Congress street. and has been removed to new
and commodous quarters on Free street.
The new rooms-Nos. and Free street Block
will be opened to the public between the
hours of and 10 p. m. to-day 1t is gratifying
to know that this change, so desirable from ey
cry point of view, has been accomplished with
but trifling increase of the expenses of the So
ciety The cost of maintaining the institution
will be about the same as on Congress street.
while the expense of fitting up has been largely
met by the generous assistance of our citizens,
and the society gratefully acknowledge the
following donations
Lumber-H. N. Jose, Holyoke & Benson.
Planning, &c.-S. 81. and A. R. Doten.

Ball & Roberts.
Observation-Disclosures, Bailey & Co.
Reading table.-Walter Corey & Co.
Carpentry.-Nathaniel Whitney.
s-fttings.-Lev S. Brown.
In order to more effectively carry on the
good work and to legally control and dispense
the funds entrusted to it, the fraternity has
now become On incorporated institution, and
has lately been fully organized as such by the
adoption of a new constitution and the election
of full board of officers. ALI who were mem.
bers OF the old organization at the time were
elected members of the new. The first annual
meeting, according to the new constitution will
be held on Tuesday next due notice of which
will appear in our columns. A public annual
meeting is shortly to be held. at which the
objects and methods Of their work will be fully
discussed and explained.
The reception to-day will give all who are
interested in good works an opportunity to be-
come more familiar with the practical opera
tions and facilities of the society and its needs.
La the evening there will be some music and
some brief, informal speeches by gentlemen
who may be present.
