County Fair.

The county fair opened Tuesday and there was nothing dore of account. There was no baseball match, ewing to no clubs entering. for tho cups. There was no trial of speed horses, though the track which was in good condition was occupied all day with scrub races
 Sept. 27, 1866.-Mist and fog, mud and mire, drizzle and drozle, slippery slop, sWaShy, muggy and sticky-oh what weather we had for the second day of the fair.
 The show of poultry, never large in the county, is about as usual. 4 few good speciments of various good breeds of hens, fewer ducks and a goose or two, comprise the collection.
 There are very few farming tools, nothing new along in that line. The exhibition building is not as full as usual, although it contains many arti- cles of interest.
 The display in cattle is conceded by all judges to far exceed in num- Der and quality that of any previous. At D. n., occurred the examination of stud horses, brood mares and colts. The attraction of this exhibition was the stallion Hambletonian, owned by William Fitch of Bozrah. The races furnished good amusement.
 Early in the afternoon Prof. Laban, while walking the tight rope, met with an accident which as it escaped being serious was quite ludicrous.
