Brandon Town Fair.

The thirteenth annual fair of the Bran
don farmers and mechanics club opened
on Wednesday under unpropitious circum-
stances. The lowering clouds of the morn
ing prognosticatcd an unfavorable day, and
the rains of during the morning prevented
the usual entries. The secretary and his
clerks, however, were at their posts, giving
courteous attention to all who presented
animals or articles for exhibition. At one
o'clock the town hall was thrown open to
exhibitors, but the weather prevented
large attendance. The proceedings of the
day were merely formal, for the programme
could not be carried out. The marshal,
Gen A. S. Cook, was on hand, with his
usual courtesy, endeavoring, to make every
thing as agreeable as possible under the I'M
favorable aspect of things. The Brandon
cornet band were present and entertained
the people present with most excellent Sc
| lections of music. We give the list of
entries SO far as made.

he fell in conversation with party of
three gentlemen from this city, when
one of them, to lest the reality of some
of the extraordinary feats of marks

SO to repeat some of them, to when
the other two added So between them.
The trial came Off in an old field half
a mile below Rockets, and was wit
Messed by about 4 dozen persons.
The old flint lock WAS fired seven
times and only once missed its aim
The old gentleman, after making two
shots a small objects To one side, to
get his hand steady, Us he said. han
dpd his sou u potato and stationed him
80 yards distance, holding the potato
between his thumb and fOre-finger -
The rifle cracked aud the potato fell
clOvrn in three or four pieces One Of
the larger pieces was thrown in the
air, the marksman Keeping at the
same distance, and again the shot told.
An inch and a-hulf augur was then
produced. and hole bored in the fence
ehind which was fastened a piece of
white paper. At the dlstaL CO Of 90
yards the marksman sent bali clear
through the aperture, piercing the pa
Der. AT the fourth shot. from 60 yards
distance, the bowl Ola pipe, which the
son was smoking was crushed. At the
tifth shot copper cent was thrown in
the air and hit. The sixth and sew
enth shots were delivered at a black
ened five cent nickel piece thrown up
10y the son. standing about thirty
yards of. AT the first attempt the
shot missed. The old gentleman
showed considerable modification.
and laid the blame upon a by-stauder
who at the critical moment sneeZed
loudly. The next attempt. however,
was an entire success, i lie old man
declined any further trials OF his skill,
and when offered sum Of money to
repeat his first feat of shooting a pnta-
to from his sons hand he refused
saying he didn't care to try such eX-

freshly cleaned. The exhibition was
the more remarkable from the fact
that the marksman was an old man at
