The Fair at Craftsbury. As this fair occurred so late in tic week (Thursday and Friday) we could not notice it in full in last week's is sue. The weather was all that could be desired, and the show of stock good as a whole, though somewhat de ficient in some classes, still in others it was excellent. This society bears the name of " The lilack River Valley Agricultural and Mechanical Society and we have wondered why the me chanics do not claim their fair pro portion of the notice and premiums of the society. The society are wil ling to bestow both, but cannot give premiums where nothing is exhibited In looking over the list of premiums wc find three premiums awarded in the mechanical department, one for a hand cart, one for a washing machine, and one for a checso press. Where are the carriage makers, the furniture makers, the harness makers, the cun ning workers in wood, metal, leather, tkc, who - wish to advertise their wares ? Not at Craftsbury fair cer tainly. There were two hundred and twelve entries of live stock,and scarce ly au animal entered but was meri torious. The number of working ox en was small, no town teams having been entered and but fev single pairs. There were !$,wever several pairs of fine three years old steers, and the lack of oxen on exhibition is doubtless in part, at least, owing to the fact that not near as many oxen arc kept by farmers in this vicinity as there were fifteen years ago, a large part of the farmers now doing their work exclusively with ho.-ses. In the clas ses of dairy cows and calves there is a marked improvement from year to year, espec ially in the latter class. This year the row of calves on exhi bition was really magnificent, cousid criug the small extent of territory from which they were gathered. An other thing about it, has a good look, that is the large number of owners of the big young stock. It shows that the "good stock"' fever is spreading. Six months eld calves, weighing from four to five hundred pounds each were plenty, while those weighing less than four hundred were the exceptions and not the rule, and they were distribut ed through the different breeds though the Durhauis and these grades pre dominated. We have not time nor space to mention all that were meri torious, where so many belonged to that class. Indeed the committee found it difficult to decide in some cases, which were the most meritori ous. Wc would however mention a pair of twin steers, thoroughbred Dur hams, exhibited by A. A. Randall. They were ten months old, and con sequently could not be entered as yearlings, and some of the owners of spring calves thought it unfair for them to compete in that class. So they really seemed to form a class by themselves, and certainly if size and beauty could fill a class, they could do it. Last year we thought wc saw the finest show of calves at this fair wc had ever seen, but this year we have seen a finer one. I5ut where are all the fine calves we saw here last year? Evidently most of them have been disposed of and have gone from this section. A few however were here and among them a pair of steers that certainly deserve a special notice. We refer to the steers owned by Mr. Smalley of Ilydcpark, and purchased by him of E. L. Hastings, at the fair here last year. At that time, if we rcccollect aright, their weight was about 1 100 pounds, and the price paid for them was $G5. They weighed now after being driven from Hyde park to Craftsbury, 12280 pounds, and wc were informed that Mr. Smalley had refused one offer of $175 for them. Tliey took the first premium here last year, and came back after the first premium for yearlings this year, and it is needless to say, they got it, and not only that but a largo amount of admiration. We understand it to be Mr. Saialley's intention to take them to the State Fair at Burlington and presume we may hear from them even among the great crowd of great cat tle there. Geo. Nelson of Craftsbury had a fine pair of grade Devon year liegs which took the second premium. Among the cows and bulls were some fine specimens of Durhams exhibited by Messrs. Randall and Hastings of Craftsbury, Cook of Greensboro, Foss and Woodbury of Hardwick, and oth ers. Devons by Geo. Nelson of Crafts bury ; Ayrshires by D. Buchanan of Albany ; and Alderncys by Wm. Bron Bon of Hordwick, and C. D. Austin of Craftsbury; and perhaps others whoso names we do not recall While looking over the different classes and breeds represented here, wo were reminded of a remark made by a correspondent of the Standard some threo or four vears ago, if we remember aright, that as far as he knew, there was not a thoroughbred animal in Orleans County, with one or two exceptions, which ho mention ed. Among the exceptions mention ed was Mr. Cleveland's herd of short boms. Now when we attend our an nual fairs in this county, we find near ly all the leading breeds represented, some of tbcui in largo numbers, thor oughbred animals, while their grades wo find in almost every farmer's yard. What has produced this change in so j short a time ? . In our humble opinion our agricultural societies with their annual fairs, and our farmers' clubs with their weekly meetings, have had a decided influence in producing it, by exciting farmers to emulation in rais ing goou stock; and tliey are just learning the fact that it pays better to raise a good animal than a poor one, while at the same timo there is more enjoyment in seeing a good breed of cattle around than in seeing scrubs. Among the fat animals we should not forget to mention a three years old heifer, grado Durham, exhibited by Simeon Goodrich of Ilardwick, which would put to shame almost any of the fat oxen of " days lang syne." We do not know her exact weight, but presume it was less than a ton, as she only girted about seven feet. Mr. Goodrich thinks that by feeding her corn meal a year oi so she might be made good beef. The show of sheep was not large, but of good quality, and here again " blood" told, as well as with the cat tle. The fine forms and long silky fleeces of the Cots wolds, and Leices ters, and mutton promising bucks, and quarters of the Southdowns, make a fine contrast with the long legged, scrawing built, wing wooled sheep of a few years ago. The names of ex hibitors in this department are nearly all given in-the premium list, so it is needless to mention them here. There were ako some fine specimens of grit ti ters on the ground, and among them we especially admired Mrs. Ira Da vis' " fat pig." The attendance the first day was not largo considering the fine weather and taking iuto account the fact that it was advertised that the cattle, sheep and swine would not be required to remain during the second day. But the horse show was to come off the second day, supplemented by the in cvitable " hoss trot." and then the crowd came out. There was probab iy a larger attendance the second day than has ever before been at any of the fairs of this society. After all, preach as you will, a majority, yes, a large majority of the people, even in this staid and sober community, will go further to sec two or three spavin ed horses trot a mile in 2.40 than to sec all the fine cattle and sheep in the country. The fact is ihey enjoy the excitement attending a race more than almost anything else connected with a fair. The first day we were favored with music by a baud from Ilardwick, who came and played by request of the officers of the society. The second day opened clear, and about 9 o'clock the horses and colts began to arrive. The show of car riage horses, matched and single, was good, though not large, comprising some five or six pairs of the former, and eight or ten of the latter. W. A. Jacksou of Greensboro had a single carriage horse which we particularly admired, for beauty of form and style of action, which are the main points in a carriage horse. The show of colts was very good, Mr. Vance of Albany, as usual, leading ofl with the " Rebel" mare's colts, from three years down to a yearling; and in the class of brood mares and colts, was the " Rebel" mare herself with colt by her side. We were informed by the com mittee on colts, that they found it very difficult to decide upon the rela tive merits of many of the colts, they were so uniformly fine. The number, too, being quite large, rendered their labors quite arduous. We did not see tho stallions, nor the brood mares and colts, and consequently cannot speak of them in detail; but heard them spoken of in terms of praise, es pecially A. M. Ilarriman's three years old stallion, and D. Buchanan's four years old. Mr. Vance's stallion, "Al bany Boy," was not entered for a premium, the owner magnanimously withholding him, a3 he had already taken five premiums in this town. Several entries were made in the class of trotters, and some very fair trot ting was shown. The second race came off at aboui one o'clock and created considerable merriment am ong the spectators. The afternoon exercises closed with a horse trot, for a purso of $30, raised for the purpose by subscription on the ground. We are not able to give the names of the horses, but believe tho Walworth horse of Coventry took tho largest part of the purse, making his mile in about 2.50. The hall was better filled than last year, though it was far from being what it should be. In dairy products especially we notice for the past two years, a great deficiency for a dairy region like this ; only three or four tubs of butter being uhown. We no ticed some Gue looking cheese, but did not try their quality, although it seem ed to be quite the fashion to do so, on some of the articles on exhibition at least, if we were to judge by the way some nice maple surjar disappear ed under the examination of an ap preciating crowd. On the whole we think the fair was a success and gavt general satisfaction, though there were doubtedless some, a3 there always are, who went away dissatisfied. One thing, however, was noticeable the sec ond day, which we can hardly pass by without a word of comment. We re fer to the drunkenness observable. There wero certainly not less than a dozen on the ground who were strong ly under tho influence of liquor, and in one or two instances there wa3 quite a smart chance for a fight. One of the policemen in attempting to sepa rate a couple who were talking loud and looking threatening, got hit" by a third party, a quondam friend of one of tho beligerents, who escaped however through the crowd before tho policeman could get his hands on mm. huorts were made by several to have tho parties who were drunk and created the disturbance arrested, but nothing was done as usual.- Where are the temperance men of Craftsbury ? where are the temper ance authorities, that suffer their town and themselves to be disgraced in this way, year after year and still do noth ing to put a stop to such disgraceful scenes? We inisrht ask one more juestion : Where are the Good Temp lars of Craftsbury ? Would it not ap pear as well, at least, and have as good effect, if talking temperance and prohibition were dispensed with for a brief time and a little action had in the matter ? So it seems to us at least. Were the temperance men in Crafts bury alive in the matter, and in earn est to have the laws sustained and en forced, no such scenes could occur on public days and in public places,with- out the actors in them being subject ed to the just penalties of the law. Wc have no inclination to spend our breath or waste ink in reviling and cursing tho rumseller who furnished the liquor for these men to drink, or the drunkards for drinking, while the professedly temperance men being largely in the majority and having the law all on their side, will stand by hang down their hands, and closing their eyes, suffer things to take their course. The liquor dealers uadestand the case. The law has no terrors for them while this state of things exists. Is it inevitable that there should lie drunkenness on every public day ? We answer yes. so long as tcmpcr ance men suffer it no longer. Our County Fair. The county fair held at tiiis place j last week wa, as a whole,, as succors- ful as anv of its pndcce5:-:ors, though ; the attendance was not so large cither day as it was last year, which will di- ; miuish the receipts somewhat, though ! we think with lamily tickets the trea-1 sury of the society may be able to stand the demands upon it. T!,e 1 show of cattle, horses, hoirs and sheep j was large. The oxen were net out j in such numbers as la-t year, neither ! were they so good. We think there was but one tosvu team, which was j from Barton. Thomas Jenne ami L. L. Collier of Derby had sonic good cattle, the former a pair of fbur year ! j olds and the latter a pair of five year j S olds. David S. Cook of Barton had 1 j a splendid pair of twin two years old j ! steers, and Ricl Wells of Albany a : pair of three year olds. I). S. Tap- i 1 1 li of Irasburgh, showed a nice pair i of calves. E. L. Leach of Irabur2h i entered a herd of Dcv onsuires, while the herds of Cleveland and Baker were the observed of all observers, who tarried long to look upon the gi ant proportions of the Durhams or the darker hued Dutch with their broad belts of white. Friend Baker lias some noble specimens of this va- rietv of cattle which is beginning to I meet with favor by stock raisers. We ! like the Durhams and the Dutch, but if we were asked to decide between ! the two. we should unhesitatingly do- j clare for the Aytrshires, such as were shown by D. Buchanan of Albany, j who showed a pure blooded cow, one of mixed blood, ami a pure blooded bull. There were several good calves, but the two we deem the most worthy of special mention were a couple of bulls, one owned by D. Brown which at six and a half months old weighs Co0 lbs. It is a Durham. Nathan C. Ufford of Barton showed a grade bull calf five and a half months old, which weighed o40 lbs. Wc think it the best of the two. There were a few good horses the best upon the ground being a stallion owned by one .'ratt of Newport, which was perfect in every particular. There is noth ing in this county that can compare with him. Then there was Buchan an's four years old Morgan, him that drew the first premium at Craftsbury, as he should have done. Vance of Albany and Vance of Newport each showed a nice four years old, sired by Albany Boy. C. B. Merrill showed a sucking colt three months old for which he ha3 been offered $100. ! Then there was a beautiful matched pair of bays owned by Sumner Fin ney of Greensboro, which suited us better than any we saw on the ground, though it appears the committee tho't otherwise. They were well matched in color, style and action. The show of swine was large, and they grunted out their satisfaction at the flattering remarks made of them. Not only was the show large, but the animals were fine. Fred W. Kimball of Glo ver showed the best pig (in our opin ion.) A. C. Joslyn and Judson Spof ford of Brownington showed some ex cellent pigs, the latter a sow and twelve pigs, the best we ever saw. W. O. Cochran of Albany, also show ed some good ones, though we think he fell behind last year. Thos. Baker of Barton showed a sow and pigs with her. The sow would weigh GOO lb3. Decidedly the best part of the exhibi tion however, was to be found in flo ral hall, which was overflowing with the handiwork of the ladies of our county. We do not remember to have seen so many nice things at any other county fair as we saw there last Tuesday and Wednesday, to enumer ate which we have neither time nor space, much as our inclination leads us to do so. That which most at tracted our attention in the hall were the pictures, of which there were ma ny more than last year, and much bet ter, too. The crayons, " A Storm at Sea," - Lake Champlain," " Falls of Minnehaha," and the " old Castle," also " Pokono," were charming, while the pastel painting of our own Crys tal Lake" was neat and natural. Some one, we do not know who, ha3 an artistic eye. The address of Mr. Hyde on "What constitutes a well managed Farm," was one of much interest and emi nently practical, though his voice was so bad that few could hear him.

All three were hotly contested and the horses well matched. The first a purse of $25, offered for horses that never trotted for money in public, for which there were four entries, was wen by J. P. Lyon's ' True Morgan." For the second purse there were four entries, " Honest Bill," by Miles ol Albany, " Canada Maid," by J. M. Libbey of Barnston, " Col. Cross," by L. Ray of Lancaster, " Brown Har ry," by Andrew McFarland of St. Johnsqury, and was won by " LTonest Bill." " Canada Maid" second, and " Col. Cross" third. The third purse was 125, for all horses, and there were three entries, Danville Boy," by L. Ray, " Lin gard," by Geo. M. Stevens, and " Old Bailey" by Geo. II. Walworth. Dan ville Boy won the first part, Lingard the second and Old Bailey the third. The balloon ascension so long talk ed of as a " big humbug," a swin dle," " a put up game by Barton peo ple," was an actual fact. The bal loon was here and it went up, greatly lo the chagrin of those who wished a failure because they had advocated it But it went up with Prof. King in it. and it was one of the grandest ascen sions ever witnessed by man, sailing away like a monster bird, higher and higher, over hill and valley, dense for est and lake, growing smaller and smaller till it was a mere speck in the sky. It was a perfect success in ev ery particular. Such was the verdict of all. Not a word of complaint was heard, nor a grumble. There were about 3000 on the ground, enough to pay expenses and leave a margin of about $500 for the fair ground com pany. Xo '' humbug" about that, ei ther. So the company are pleased too.

It will go, Providence permit ting and weather favoring. Barton is not given to humbugging people. She knows it does not pay in the long run.

The Chicago Tribune says : "Our London correspondent "assures us. as an ascertained fact, that the Lmperor Napoleon has enough money invested in the English funds to yield hiui an annual income of .illOO.ooo. This sum, capitaliz ed at the English rate of interest, repre sents over C0,do0,000. He also estimates that the Emperor has as much inve.-te 1 in other countries. According lo this state ment, Napoleon has not been unmindful of the future. He has been so irei ariair matters, that m case oi trouble, he wi.l not j be left in poverty. I 'doii the interest of l 3,n00,000 he can manage, to hve quite comfortably, even if the French do drive him from the throne. The means by which Napoleon lias been enabled thus to accumulate this vast for tune were very simple. For twenty-live years he has had his hand in every Bourse. He could depre-s the funds with a frown, sink them to zero with a threat, ami render them buoyant again with a smile and a promise. That he has Used this ;.ov. r f .r nia personal profit is not surprising, lie has always had his thr. ne upon a ruin.-. He has never felt auy security, save that which the bayonet conferred. His reigu has been one of force throughout ; and it is but natural that, clothed with the power to manipulate the lua.is of all Kurope to suit his own interests, he has done so to build up this immense fortune for the fu ture. Should this war er.d in hi- dethrone ment, he will be able to set up housekeep ing with the Empress, and send the Prince Imperial to school, without experiencing those incotivenien. e.s of poverty which he endured before his return to France i!: 148."
