Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1876-06-22

Long letters are nuisance, as gen
eral thing, and have of late treated
your readers to several of them III at
tempting to get this Exhibition 10y rote.
SO for this week | will give you only
some rambling notes and gossip 10y way
of variety. There never was show
where one could get $50 much sugar
for cent''-so many attractions under
one canvass, SO to speak. Ii makes lit
tie difference what part of the grounds
you begin with or what building you
enter first, ''all is grist that comes TO
the MILL" as the old miller said, and
there are pretty things, curious and ill.,
teresting things OH every hand. Lar
ger crowds of people are coming every
day and the Golfers of the managers are
correspondingly beneiited-to say moth
ing of numerous outside interests. For
a time there was a decidedly gloomy
prospect for a lot of vendors and cater
ers of all kinds who had paid heavy boz
muses. for privileges, but things look
more promising for them now, though
even yet many bright dream is a long
way from realization. The attendance,
however, is getting To be nearer the
mark, and the more visitors look about
them the more they realize what a
shame it would be To have such mag
niticent exhibition fail of appreciation
or support. And there is satisfaction
in the statement that SO far the attend
ance exceeds by more than three times
that at Vienna for corresponding
period.
Incidents of the most amusing char
acter divert the attention of observing
persons on every hand The philosopn-
ical student of human nature enjoys
these nearly as much as the exhibition
itself Every avenue and walk leading
to the grounds is lined on either hand
with hucksters Of all sorts whose Seduc.
tive celebrations greet the ear of all
passersby.. Here are some specimens
