The Vermont state Fair.

The management Of the Vermont

Junction, have been doing much in way
Of preparation for the coming exhibition
September 81, %, % and a. They
have had a survey made Of the original
grounds BY Prof fIazen Of Dartmouth
college, also Of the Smith farm adjoining
recently purchased by the fair ground
railroad company, and used by them
as a terminal for the fair ground This
purchase makes forty acre addition
available if needed. IN the original
grounds, there are 6s acres, which to-
gether with the newly acquired acreage,
constitutes the largest fair grounds IN
New England. Secretary r. L. Davis
informs Us that the specials offered for
this years fair are far in excess Of
those the two previous years. Plans
are under way for new stables for the
accommodation Of trotting stock. also
for an up-to-date and commodious poul-
try house. Many minor improvements
are being made which viii greatly facili
tate the handling Of the enormous stock
exhibits. We have seen the past two
years what capable management can do
for the Vermont State Fair. this year
gives fair promise Of out shining all
previous attempts.--White River June

week:
The special school tax was voted
here last Tuesday and on Wednes-
day our leading merchant and fell
low-townsman, II. M. Brock, pre-
pared pleasant surprise for Prof.
DeMoss, his five lady assistants
and the pupils. Mr.. Brock asked
the professor to march the school
down town that evening, and at
$3.50 O'Clock the 225 pupils were
lined up for the march. They
marched down Main street to the
corner at Wagner Company's store,
and then down Front street aud up
to Mr.. Brooks store, where they
were given bags filled with all
kinds of nice things, including
candies, oranges and apples, and
some of the boys got lemons. Mr.
Brock is a great friend of the
school. He deserves much credit
for his hospitality and kindness OF
this occasion. The school chill
dreu will ever have a kindly feel
ling toward him.
