Tho siNtl annual fair Of the North River
Agricultural Society. held at Jacksonville,
oct. 10th. was indeed success The shower
of the evening before probably kept away
many who would have attended, and perhaps
some stock from the exhibition. There was
very little Intoxicating liquor sold, and that by
a few from our neighhoriug towns, who do
not contribute To- the fair On the whole, it
was one of the very best fairs the society ever
held
Our friends Hom the south uoighborhood
cam, as usual with tht.r nice wagon drawn
by O fine string ct oxen. aud the hne string
from Che west only lacked the decorated way
on which we expect they viii draw next year.
About tine u,ual number OF entries DC made
OF horses. but We noticed that the noted Ham
blctoniau stallion. owned 10y Henry Corkins

neat cattle WAS very good, some very fine AMI
mails being Oh exhibition. although the rain
made some look little rougher than usual
