BURLINGTON, VI, September la.-What
this part OF the country lacked In season.
able warmth during the summer Is being
made up to 1t now. The days and nights
arc warm enough for midsummer, md
hence the corn, which ut best Is not much
Of crop III this country, Is being npiily
forced to maturity. The pastures also arc
being refreshed by warm rains, and the
dairy and grazing interests, which are the
principal agricultural interests, are re.
lievcd OF m apprehcndcd necessity for
premature use Of dry feed.
The Vermont State Fair Is in progress
here. In point Of miscellaneous attrac.
tons II is scarcely equal to tho fairs of
Wheeling Island, although they call It il
good fair here. In live stock, especially
cattle, there IL IL good exhibit. The
Splnisll-Merino sheep look very much
like duplicates Of the Panhandle flocks,
but there is II much more extensive ex.
hibit OF soutldowns, Cottswolds, Shrop.
shires, and "Lony" and Middle Woos,,"
rs they are called, than can been be seen
III your part OF the country. Exhibitors
tell me that they arc letting 90 Merinos
and substituting mutton sheep on account
OF the low price of Mcrino fleece. The
Cottswolds shear Is pounds ofwool, worth
20 TO - cents crpO,nd, and readily bring
live cents per pound on the hoof for
hntehcriny,; weighing l30 TO l50 pounds.

Among the noted spectators present ut

William, Seward Webb, who lives here
during the summer on Il farm adjoining
the fair grounds. President Porter, OF
Yale, College, is also here, the guest Of Hon.
=. }. Phelps. democratic candidate for
Gorernor in 1850. Phelps, next to Senator
Edmunds, is the most noted lawyer in
this State. In fact lie is the, Law lecturer
ut Yale College. lIo is also very popular,
and il there was any possibility of elect
ing Democratic Governor Of this State
he would have succeeded. But there is
no such possibility and hewas beaten over
