ana heautllul display Vi NoI-
man horses was to be seen from
exhibitors in this State. The
Agricultural department at
tracted a great deal OF attention
from the moving masses. Very
line sample displays of wheat
were especially noticeable. Ne
braska, Dakota and other
western states were fully rep
resented in this department.
We noticed some wheat seven
feet high. The object of these
exhibits was probably to induce
people to emigrate "wester. "
Among other important exhib-
its in this department were
those from the University Farm.
In the Horticultural Hall
were many beautiful and inter
esting exhibits. In this de-
partment were the displays OF
fruits as well as flowers, and it
convinced us that Wisconsin is
not so far behind her sister
States as she might be, especial
" in the apple line, and all due
to the efforts OF a very few men
comparatively.
The manufacturers depart
ment was the object of a good
deal OF attention. All descrip-
tons Of manufactured articles,
were on exhibition in this Hall.
OF the noticeable exhibits IN
this department a case OF liver
ware from Racine figured most
conspicuousy The case was
arranged very tastefully, q
gold-liued silver chariot as a
centre piece. a display Of fine
lur5 and robes WAS q leading
exhibit. The exhibit Of stoves
was especially fine. In the
manufacturers annex there was
a fine display OF bugsies, etc.
The Ar Hal! attracted more
people than any other, and it
was a continual struggle to
work one ) way through. Some
very fine exhibits were to be
seen here, especially portraits
OF some Of our leading citizens
a display Of penmanShip was
an object OF attention. Ii space
would permit we might emu
merate many articles Of special
value, but We must let what we
have said do.
On the whole the Fair cast a
great deal of credit on our
glorious State, and it is a great
pleasure to watch the improve
ment from year to year. GRAY

BURGLARY.-Our quiet has been dis
turbed and some excitement raised, by
some person or persons breaking into
Goss Brothers store, on Thursday
night of last week. Nothing has been
missed except some small change that
was in the drawer. Some of that was
scrip, part of which was much mutil.
lated, and some coppers !; in all amount
ing to from two to five dollars. Itap.
pears that Ii. Days wagon shop had
been entered and some tools secured
for the purpose. The attempt was
then made to enter the store at the
window in the back end of the build
ing, but failing there, they commenced
at the hatchway, and succeeded in get
ting something under it and burst it
open. Passing up the stairs, they
bored out part of a panel in the door
and removed the bolt, and entered the
store room, where they secured the
change. They then returned the same
way they had entered, and restored the
tools to the wagon shop.
