Class & Q.-Farm Implements and Mechanical

The exhibition Of farm implements was very
GOOD. what there was of it, bat it might have
been quadrupled without drawing heavily on
even the manufacturers in the county. The
principal exhibitors were +. d. Sweetzer, Reed
& Good. J. T. Porter and VIC. Anderson,
mostly of articles out of the county; and King,
Hamilton. s Co, Christ Olson, VIM. Stormont

Class B...Horses.

In this class, as in that of cattle, the num-
bers exhibited again were limited by the eX-
cellence OF the animals supposed to be re-
qured. The entries were probably not over a
hundred, but we defy the State Fair or any
other exhibition to show finer horses. MI
Shade, Of Seneca and thcDegens, Of Ottawa,
showed their peerless imported Normans and
Clydesdales; Mr.. Nicely showed his best stock
that has "a reputation extending far beyond the
state; and the Burners, the PARIS, the Rowes
Toilet, Delbridge, &c, were here with the best
Of their stables, and outside of them the coun-
try shows no finer thoroughbred animals.

CASA h--Cattle,

IT," Inhibition Of cattle, though not as large
in number perhaps as it might have been, was
in the highest degree superior. Among thcn
were liberal representatives of the peerless
herds Of Z. o. Jackson Of Farm Ridge, and
Abner Strawn, OF Ottawa, than which there
are few finer in Gie country. Then such cattle
men as Nj Dunavan, Mr.. Temple J. B.
Barnes, Nr. Cliff and others, showed the cream
of their herds, and by the side Of such, of
course second rate cattle would stand no

A humorous correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter-Ocean gets off q few
gOOd-natured criticisms on the Presi-
dents team OF horses. After descrfb-
ing the splendors OF General Grants
turnout, the writer says: President
Hayes has introduced into their stall q
pair of horses that look as II they came
ION q country livery stable, as they
did Mr.. Rogers, tile Presidents pri-
~. a seccetary, paid $500 for them In
A exandria. Now, Mr.. Rogers is an
exceilent man, he has studied theology
and he has studied law; he knows
about oil that need be known OF PHI
lOsophy, and art; he can see the fine
points In legal argument or q doc
tl,nal sermon, and can write q letter Or
politely a. a letter can be written, but
he has one Important weakness, and
that is his ignorance Of horse flesh.
He ought never to have been trusted
40 buy q team. The horses are III
matched and clumsy. They trot each
on his own hook without regard to the
other. They have 10th been accus-
toned to be hitched OH the nigh side,
and every h0rsenan knows that 10
hitch two nigh horses together will
spoil a team. One of them IL a dark
notified chestnut, with u white foot;
the other Is a bright bay, with a white
nose. Any one can see In moment
that hose two horses ought never to
be harhessed together any more than q
blue bonnet ought to be worn with q
8 fsin dress. Besides they are lazy. = 4
Pre- 'ident Grsut's old coachman ard
fOotman, whose faces are as Well
known i'm Washington as President
Grants own, are retained at the
White House. but neither of them
take real active interestin their bust
ness any more. Albert, the coachman,
drives alone, but be looks like wild
over, aud acts as IL he was thinking of
killing himself. And 1t would not be

| found some morning with their Threats
| the 4th of March, as they rode on the
box of President Grants carriage, with
their long, blue coats and silver buttons
as large as your hands, their stove-pipe
mats and white gloves, they looked the
proudest men the sun could shine on.
But since the civil service reform In
the carriage line was introduced, they
have found out that this world Is a
hollow mockery and filled with saw
cast. Nowadays you see Albert driv-
ng, and you notice melancholy ex-
preston on his countenance, to which,
n degree of b!ackness, a coal
isn't a circumstance. He holds
the lines .carelessly i'm one hand, anu
he doesn't sit up so erect and dignified
as he used to, but sprawls all over the
seat like a hack driver. His coat Is
halfunbuttoned, his boots are unpol-
ished, and lie don't seem to care
whether ne wears his gloves or not.
And it's all OH account of those horses
Rogers bought. II Albert hadn't q
large family of picaninpies depender
on him for support he wouldn't dri,s
that team for love or money; but n.
cessity knows no choice; and he is
holding on in hopes the team may die
and be replaced with o better one.
Albert Is seriously suspected of con-
| spiracy to lame those horses SO that
they will have to be gotten rid of.

A Curious Group of Rocks.
From the Virginia Nevada Enterprise.


On the ridge between Mount Ophir
and Nevada Hill, the first and second
mountain peaks north of Mount Davi-
son, is a rugged and picturesque group
of rocks standing some thirty or forty
feet above the general surface. About
shutdown and after. during twilight,
these rocks are distinctly outlined a.
gainst the western sky, and, seen from
the north end of the platform of the
freight depot, or the south end Of the
trestle-work bridge leading to the OPP
hir, present the appearance or a group
Of Indians. The most prominent fig
ure of the group Is one that resembles
above the heads of a number OF "Iittle
Injuns'' squatted and kneeliug about

other objects of that nature, some
exercise OF the Imagination Is required
In order to bring out the details Of the

hands Is plaiuly to beiseen-is much

The story or Evangellne in Real
.l-t -MI.h Life.


The story of Evangeline is repeated
with wonderful fidelity in all its de-
tails in the experience of young
French girl, q resident of MarseiIles.
She was engaged to q sailor to whom
she was to be married on his return
from q voyage to New York. He did
not return, and after year she got q
berth as stewardess's assistant on one
of the Havre steamers, to come here in
search of him. On the passage rich
American lady became Interested in
her story and resolved to help her to
find out her lover. In New York she
learned that he had gone to Canada.
For months she travelled about the
Dominion, sometimes close on his
track and again losing every clue as to
his whereabouts. She returned to
New York, and one day while stand
ing at q Broadway crossing waiting
her turn to get across she saw the OBJ
ject of her along search OH the other
side. She shrieked his name and ran
into the middle Of the street, but a
policeman caught her and saved her
from the wheels of the string of vehi-
cles. She never again saw the Gabriel
she had so long sought and SO nearly
found. She learned then that he had
sailed for San Francisco, and 80 went
overland to California to meet him.
Arrived on the Pacific coast, she found
that her lover had fallen overheard
lust outside the Heads and been
drowned Meanwhile the body of a
young man dressed in sailors clothes
was cast ashore on the beach, carried
to the C0roner's Office and, not being
Identified, was inferred in the public
cemetery. A water sOdden pocket
book was taken from the dead man,
which contained only q few letters
written I'm French and runatidressed.
The girl hearing of this went to the
C0rOner's Office and found that the
letters were hers. The waves had
tardily and partially recompensed het
devoted search, and she was able To
