The Agricultural Fair.

Inc agricultural Fair.
What is il they 90 to the fair to seeq
The pumpkins Of ple,horic girth?
Potatoes and apples that Judges agree
To be wonderful fruits Of the earthP
Not al all for. though pumpkins ct ais may be there
And 4 diligently sought may be found,
They can't al an agricultural fair
Compete with a merry -go-round.
What is ii they 90 to the fair to see?
The hens and the ducks and the eeeser
The Holsieins and Jerseys Of high degree,
Or is il the Shropshires leeceP
Not at all; for with herds Of elephants
They cannot begin to compare
When Highland fling the pachyderms dance
Al the agricultural fair
What is ii they 90 to the fair 10 seeq
The beauties Of Floral Ha9
The guilt Of pieces thousand three
Or the lovely knitted shawlF
Not At all for these''hpgs more attract.
When high in the crisp fan air
a halloonist does an ascension act
Al the agricultural fair
what is it they 60 to the fair to see.
That even an auto parade.
Or aeropiane sailing vide and free,
Cannot msnase TO cast in the shade7
They are going still to the race
'Tis the race for which they care
The hoss-irot vet can hold iis place
Al the agricultural fair.

]. J. Trerise had q pecpliar seizure Sat
urday afternoon, believed now to have
been due to a rush OF blood to the head
from over exertion. When the fire alarm
sounded the call for a fictitious blaze near
the Bruce house down the track. in order
to give the hose company a little practice,
Mr.. Trerise responded as a member of the
company and was quite in his usual
health and spirits. On the way to the
supposed confiagration he gave an in
promptu trapeze performance on the lad
ders, but when he reached home after the
practice was over be was in very con-
fused state and seemed hardly to realize
what he was doing. 1t was at first feared
thatlhis peculiar symptoms were premoni-
tory OF serious illness, but with rest and
care he began to grow more rational and
has continued to improve. His daughter
and her husband, Mr.. and Mrs. EIwin
Scott, were summoned from Barre Satur-
day night and Mrs. Scott has been here
ever since.
Judge and Mrs. George L. stow Of
Chelsea were driving Monday to this vii
lage, in which the judge was to hold pro-
bate court the next day, and as they came
down the hill by the Chandler farm Mrs.
stow was suddenly stricken with apo
plexy. She had appeared to be in perfect
health hen they started from home and
had walked down the Rabbit track, of
whose steep incline she was a little fear
full in carriage. At the J. B. Adams
farm they stopped to water the horse and
she WIS then apparently feeling well. A
little later the judge noticed that she was
very quiet but attached no particular sig
nificance to it. When they reached the
trough at the Burt farm she said some
thing about the horse not wanting to
drink again and in a moment or two fell
over against the judge unconscious. He
drove as quickly as possible to the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. II. Powers,
whose guests they were to be until
Wednesday, and she was lifted from the
carriage in an unconscious state, from
which she has not vet shown the least
sign of rallying- Drs. A. G. Bailey and
c. J. Rumrill have been in attendance
and trained nurse came from Burling-
ton Tuesday. Mrs. Slows son, E. A.
Davis of Bethel, has also been with her.
