dense and pipe off the steam. 1t is
/ claimed that a cleaner and whittier
sugar can be made by covered than
an open arch. A new thing was
shown in this line, called the New
Process evaporator. The arch is sim
liar to all iron arches, the boiler of
improved construction, covered by q
condensing metallic cover, with pipes
for the escape of steam. 1t is manu-
factured by Wheeler & Severance,
Chazy, n. Y, and will be sold here
by G.. B. Drew. 1t was seen in oper-
alton in the boiling of water and ci-
der, and it appeared to be very eX-
cellent thing for it's purpose. Mrs.
E. W. Barron showed the cake-mlxer
which she recently patented. 1t is
simple thing, calculated to save a
great deal of hard labor. G. j. Uf-
ford exhibited carriages of various
STYLES and excellent finish. Mr..
Whitcher exhibited plows, rakes, ted
derssand other farm machinery. f..

space with sewing machines, organs
and pianos. Mr.. Cowles is selling
the Domestic and the New Home sew

octave organ-a new thing in organs
also a self-playing organ, with a
fine Mathushek piano. Mr.. Cowles
is doing large business in his line.
J. M. Cass of Lyndonville, familiar
ly known in this vicinity as reliable
dealer in musical instruments, occu-
pied a department with organs and
pianos. Mr.. Cass showed beauti-
full piano of Baus & Co.'s make, also
fine Carpenter organ. A. L. Bal
ley of st. Johnsbury had several in

The sewing machine men made
things rattle in their line. The Wheel
er and Wilson machines were showr
by O. R. Moulton of Morgan, agenr
for this county. A gentleman was
doing some fine work in sewing
names on to silk. These machines
have always been reliable. The White

styles, and the walls in rear of il
were hung with pictures, embroidery
etching, ETC.. done by the machine.
The machine and the work done by
it attracted much attention. III. O.

White is King" The Singer people
were in another spot, right in The
way-as agents are in the habit O

at high speed.
HOUSEHOLD AND ORNAMENTAL DE-
PARTMENTs.
We Judge that ladies interpreted
the rules to mean that they would no
be admitted, except on a family tick
ct, from the fact that the number oi
articles in the floral hall was less thar
usual. We noticed, however, that
both departments contained some
very pretty and valuable articles.
On the household side there was ;
very large show of quilts, spreads
and rugs, many of them very pretty
In the culinary department there was
a dearth. Mrs. Albert Jenkins haC
very pretty thing in butter por
trait which was formed from the but
ter, like the figure seen at Philadel
phia iu 1876. In the other side o
the hall Mrs j. B. Freeman showed
large case of pretty millinery goods
Mrs. Fogg several fine oil paintings
Mrs. Curtis also an oil painting
Several other paintings were seen
Mrs. j. III. Corey showed beautiful
photograph of Crystal Lake. G. S
Phillips made very beautiful dis
play of stuffed birds. He had q larg
number of specimens of birds pret
tily mounted; he also had some goo'
work in the line of guns of his owl
manufacture. We have not space 0
time to furthur enumerate.
The fine weather put the people il
a pleasant mood and everybod
seemed to enjoy the fair We do no
remember to have attended fai
where everything went off so pleas
antly. There was little or no rowdy
ism; few showed the signs or liquo
and the police found only three o
four who needed looking after. Their
were few gambling concerns in op
Grafton at times, but they were sup
pressed as soon as discovered. On
Stebbins of ST. Johnsbury, profes
sional gambler, set up his machin
on the ground, and having been OIL
dered off, was last seen scooting on
!; in rear of the tent, his traps flying i
all directions. There were doubtles
, some nasty and unlawful drink sol
} on the ground, but not as much 9
, heretofore. The eating house, ru
! by the Gilmans, furnished good meal
until eaten out on Wednesday an
Thursday by larger crowd tina
, could be fed. The stalls and booth
were we'll patronized and made som
; money. Judge Orne ran the seat
