THE FAIR.

We had promise of Il full report of the
county fair but as it failed to reach US,
we are left TO brief, cursory--allusions
such us we are enabled to make from a
visit on the closing day.
Contrary to the usual practice, the pre-.
MUM horses, neat stock, sheep and swine,
were upon the ground on Friday, which
lent to the last day more than usual al
fractions. These several departments
were well represented Dodge's herd had
a number of fine specimens ofshort horns.
The taste of breeders runs to the Devon
color, which adds to their otherwise fine
appearance. There were three specimens
from Windsor-we helieve-of the Hol-
stein breed These are the first that have
been exhibited. They are as large us the
short horns, but are coarser, not as smooth
and symetrical, more bony, and its color
black or mixed with white. A number of
Aldernies were also present with speci-
mems Of Herefords. Dea. johnson of Say
brook had upon the ground his O5 pound
milker-The greatest dairy ANIMAL per-
haps, in the county
The stock of sheep were mostly confin-
ed to the Merino and Cottswold. The
horses were not in large numbers proba-
bly, because of the races not being in fa-
vor. Albert Harmon had his satellite fl
ley on exhibition as a carriage horse, and
George Nettleton's Minnesota geldia5 the
same, The latter taking the sweepstakes.
Swine were in moderate numbers, but
of fine quality. The Chester Whites,
Berkshire, the Poland China and the
Victoria. OF theselast, Richard Stevens
has boar and sow, an fine old propa-
gaton Of the Lancashire breed. Mr., s.
expects to give his special attention to
the Victorias. These are well formed for
pork qualities, being long and deep and
we'll rounded up for hams, They are
small boned and beautiful in form
Breeders win find them all that can be de-
sired. The procession on the track was
novel as well as fine sight.
Mr. Wire, with his cheese vat and
cheese in press were attractive, together
with the other agricultural implements,
Vegetables were very fine, scarce ever
better, Grain, too, could hardly be bet
ter.

One of the greatest changes TO be seen
in the march of progress at the HarbOr is
the taking down the hill rising from the
east side to the residence of the Widow
Thayer, The material was mainly used
for filling in the marsh lying between its
foot and the channel. This marsh has
been nearly filled, and become solid
ground raiseI to an even grade with the
dock just built along the river front,
This work, though a somewhat formidable
one, has been done by the two banks-the
Farmers National and the Loan Associa-
tion. 1t gives a considerable arrear of
dock accommodation filling the space be-
tween the east line of the pontoon bridge
and the Lake Shore ore dock, and is the
most eligibly located along the water
front Already the upper dock-that of
the Loan Association adjoining the Lake
Shore premises-is occupied by large

who propose to put up planning mill, and
to go into the manufacture of dressed
lumber and other building materials for
the wholesale trade, by rail, The whole
area Of dockage will no doubt ho put to
a good use as soon as completed. The
change is such as to well put the old habi-
tue at fault, IN after time, while looking
for old landmarks

The Reporter wakes facetious over the
oratorial efforts of our fellow citizens
Messrs Hoyt and Apthorp. 1t says all
sorts Of funny things as well as some not Il
little inoongruous about them in quoting
from their utterances. Our contemporary
should make all due allowance fog the
youth and inexperience of these gentlemen
and give full force to the fact that their
democratic patriotism sometimes gets the
advantage Of them, and their efforts are
not always in the ratio Of the Importance

The mass meeting held ut Warren on
Tuesday last was the grandcst political
demonstration Ohio has seen for many q
day. 1t was expected il would be a hugh
affair but II exceeded the expectations Of
all. To give y correct estimate Of the
number Of persons presct is an impossi.
billy it being variously estimated from
thirty 10 seventy-hve thousand When
the large wigwam capable Of containing
10000 persons was packed with surging
humanity the crowd outside and in the
street seemed TO be no smaller when we
say 10000 persons were present we think
we have made a low estimate. The wealth
cr was favorable until evening, when Il
drizzling rain set in, but the major PART Of
the programme had been carried out, and
the arrangements for the exercises were
but slightly interrupted thereby The
arrangements for receiving and car
ing for this vast multitude were as near
perfect as could be expected and for which
the citizens Of Warren and Trumbull
county deserve great credit.

A Girls Postcript.

There is nothing fresher and more
dewey and more delightfully."- emphatic
than young girls letter to her-well
her brother. Every third word is un-
derscored, and then there's the post.
cript. The postscript to girl's letter
is as indispensable as a tail to dog.
The letter is nothing-the postscript
everything. Persons experienced in
receiving girls letters have informed
us that when they are particularly anx-
ious to know something the letter
contains they always skip the letter and
read the postscript first. 1t is like the
peroration of the orator. 1t is great
misfortune for young man not to
receive letters from his fair young
nieces and cousins. If he is not
blessed with such relatives let hir1 go
down into the old trunk and dig up
letters written by his wife when she
was his sweetheart. He will get more
sweetness and light out of them than
he would ont of Arnold or Tenpyson.
