Caledonia fairs have long been noted
| for their exhibit of good cattle, but the

mer fairs in some particulars. Among
the 25 yoke of oxen which L. D. Hazen
| proposes to show this year is one re-
markable pair which weigh over sixty
| hundred pounds and girt over nine feet
and three inches each. People who do
| not understand whether these figures
| describe an ordinary yoke of cattle or
not may be interested to know that no
| such oxen as these have ever been seen
in New England and perhaps not in the
| United States. They will be the one
| great attraction of the fair.
