Yesterday morning six postulants took. the white
veil and six noviccs took the black veil OF the
Order. The chapel was filled with largo and

lighted candle TO each of the candidates az

The first fair held under the auspices of the
Gorham Grange commenced yesterday at their
hall and grounds. The number of entries ex-
ceeded the anticipations of everyone, for both
the hall and grounds presented quite a fine ap-
pearance. The entries in stock and horses are
quite large, and some foe specimens are exhib-
ited The show of Jersey stock is the largest
of any one kind. There are large number of
fine looking COWS of other kinds besides Jersey,
and the bulls compose by no means the smallest
part of the show. There are also number of
entries of full blooded swine. The show of
poultry contains some fine looking birds, al
though not many fancy breeds At the trial of
plows, the Cameron pillow was adjodged supe-
rior to the Husssy p'ox; these are the only
kinds exhibited.
In building opposite the hall is fne ex-
hibtlon of carriages and sleighs. A. Mcclellan

some sleighs, among which is the new styled

with the Proctor patent brace and stud clip,
which took the first premium.
The hall presents an excellent appearance
and does credit to the many exhibitors TIE

The Faic at Fryeburg.

The second day of the exhibition, although
mild and Indian summer like. opened some
what unfavorsbly, as the sun only appeared at
intervals, and the clouds chung so long to the
mountain tops that many persons feared to
venture out, and thus there was percep.ible
falling off from the usual attendance. Never
theless, a large number of people were present.
The blowing match was omitted, as the
trustees were not able to procure a suitable
spot near their grounds. To obvate this in
convenience in the future, it is proposed to buy
or hire two or three acres not far distant, using
half each year for the blowing, and then by
raising some crop from the alternate half the
annual interest of the investment will be met.
The ownership of such a lot affords the desired
opportunity not merely of testing the skill of
oxen, but also of trying the merits of plows,
halrows, cultivators and pulverizsrs, jest at
the time andap Place when sfarmers haze the
most leisure to examine them. XII land abba
Efforts of this kind to make fairs schools rather
than shows, will tend to remove thu objections
and preiudices existing against them among
some very respectable people.
A very commendable feature of this Society,
and somewhat in the above direction, is that
the forenoon Of the third day is almost entirely
given up to the reading and hearing of the
committees. This practice ensures deibsration,
intelligent consideration aud discussion, and
an opportunity to correct clerical errors aud
errors of judnment.
As the report of the proceedings of the last
day will therefore include the reports of the
committees, we give only mention of entries
in the live stock department.
