prived of these small comforts.

was a great supply of sheep, horses and
cattle ojlQninions differ as to the relation
tof prices Jef last. years; but the prepon-
deratirg opinion appears to be that While

trains for adjoining towns. The e,::-
hibits in the departments of dairy pro-
duce, agricultural produce and poultry,
were very considerably in excess OF these
