The Unitarian Fair.

The Unitarian supper and fair held at the
Unitarian vestry on "Wednesday aud Thursday
evenings of last week. was a most decided sue
cess. Bountiful tables bearing the choicest of
yisnds were surrounded with an appreciative
crowd bringing good appetites; but the supper
tables were utterly defiant of the heavy run
which WAS made upon them and could not be
made to suspend The sales Of fancy and
useful articles were large indeed. the array be-
ing very inviting. Among the fine display Of
articles may be mentioned the following:
Beautiful and ornamental basket. and Tides:
hand painted banners showing original designs
and much artistic skill. two of which were the
handiwork OF Mrs. Fannie Blaisdell Of Frank
lin; banners on boiting cloth by the Misses
Lille Belcher. Annie Clark and Mrs. VI. F.
Avery; bible cover. etching in India ink, by
Mrs. Avery; embroidered wood-basket: fancy
milking stools for which no milk-maid- were
IN waiting, anxious TO utilize them: a fine
painting showing a clock in an old tower. by
Mrs. Mariana JOY; draperies, foreign and do
nestle which showed much handsome work
done by Ellsworth ladies'; plush hand bags and
a great variety Of art hsnd-work; but perhaps
the greatest curiosity OF all. and the one most
worthy Of mention, was an apron made by
Mrs. Peach. blind lady, showing in all of lis
parts, the most exact and neatly executed
work.
There were the proverbial guess-cske and
the huge stick Of candy, which had hosts of On.
irons, and which have become "a means OF
grace" and instruments for the "gIorv Of
God" 10 nearly all church societies.
One lady said to the AMERICAN reporter
at will take you all day to write up a report
of this fair. and then you can't do it justice. -
and she was not SO far wrong as she might
have been.
We understand that the net receipts were
something in excess Of 600.

ASTOUNDING FIGURES.

Reliable authorities estimate the value OF
the poultry product, of the United States for
the year 1886, at the enormous sum of six hun
drrd millions OF dollars. BIT even this amount
large rs il is, does not represent the total val
ne OF this great industry for single year. In
1876, the United States imported from foreign
countries about five million dozen eggs-but in
1SSj the quantity had increased TO over sixteen
million dozen. If these figures are correct.
land there Is no reason to doubt them) the
poultry industry amounts TO more than either
the wheat crop. the cotton crop, the hay crop,
or the entire product of all our gold or silver
mines. We say these figures are astounding;
probably not one person in ten thousand is
aware that the poultry industry stands ut the
head. But what Is it that has lifted the poul.
try industry to this surprising eminence? No
doubt the discovery OF Sheridan's Powder 10
make hens lay. had much to do with it. but not
all. The fact Is the women and children are
beginning TO learn that there is no way by
which they can secure a constant inflow Of
ready cash with so little effort, as by keeping
and inielligentIy caring for hens. I. s. john
son & Co., % Custom House Street, Boston,
have published recently valuable book on
this subject. entitled 1.-The Farmers Poultry

any one to start IN the business, and to make
