JAMAICA ram.

A SUCCESSFUL SHOW AND A GOOD ATTENDANCE.
At an early hour on Thursday last, the day
of our annual fair, people began to come into
town, until our little village and the fair
grounds were quite full. Not less than 2OOO
persons, some say three or four thousand,
were present. The day was quite cold and
the wind was strong in the fore part of the
day, but before noon it was quite comforta-
bic. Many were the wagons that had cider
and tonic beer for sale, and before night
some were very laxative, but order prevail
ed as general rule. Fifty-two yoke of oxen
and steers came on the ground in one team,
and we defy any town to get up better one
There were but few young cattle on exhibit
ton. Some of our farmers who raise fine
animals are not disposed to take them out on
fair day, but we think it would have been
credit for them to have done So There were
many good colts on the grounds
Col. A. b. Frankln's address was the great
event of the day. He gave much good ad-
vice, and made many practical suggestions
to our farmers. He spoke from the band
stand, and in tone audible to all who had
desire to hear. The Jamaica cornet band
furnished appropriate music for the day.
