Our third annual Town Fair was
held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day aud Friday-contnued one day
on the account OF stormy weather. Tho
entries in Floral Hall were not num-
crous but very fine what there was
of them. Other entries meager, ex-
cept those of horses and cattle. The
display Of horses was large and mum
erous and the best ever seen in tins To-
cality especially, Of colts and trottlng
horses. The trotting WAS splendid
and was never before excelled in this
vicinity 1--WE regret that the want
of space obliged us 20 omit the &C
count of the races prepared by our
reporter. -ED. OF AGE. The "Baby
Show" on Thursday p H.. excited
much interest Twenty-Five entries
were made. WILDER Sykes child
drew the first prize; Elton p. KEN

finely and deserved the cup awarded
him-and Mr.. Monroes the third. A
pair of silver spoons was given to
Charley LeClairs' twins-they being
the only pair entered. The address
by the Rev. Thos. J. Taylor on
Thursday afternoon was very brief in
deed-urglng young men not to &c
West but to stay in New England
and an appeal to hunters to spare the
birds and other game, that would eat
up bugs, grasshoppers, etc, etc, that
destroy our crops. We hope to print
