Although, as we 90 to press, the
exhibition of the Lamoille Valley As
sociation is but partially concluded, yet
we deem it safe to announce a very
gratifying and successful exhibition
throughout. More entries have been
made this year in all departments
Except perhaps in the line of fancy
articles in Floral HalD, than at any
year previous. The show of live
stock of all kinds was remarkably
good. The strings of oxen, as a
whole, were the finest and strongest
that have moved around the track for
many years. The following are the
names of those owning yokes, with
the weight, so far as given: Norris

The opinions of the awarding COM
mittee will be found in the premium
list, which we shall give next week.
The strongest team we saw, next to
the town teams, was that of Nathan
Mcfarland, who drove on to the
ground drawn by a pair of oxen, two
pairs of steers, and pair of horses.
To his wagon he had attached sulky
pillow. We would suggest that next
time he had better hitch on to the
pillow and leave the wagon. Among
the exceedingly fine stock shown were
