We will take occasion to remark here, that a very considerable amount 

 of excellent fruit, &c., was on exhibition, that was not regularly entered 

 for premiums. Wm. A. Bliss showed some mammoth specimens of 

 mangel wurtzel, and time would fail us to tell the whole. Mr. Stan-

 fruit trees — large and thrifty stocks — which, through some inadvertence 

 either of the committee or the agent in charge of them, were not no- 

 ticed ia the awards of the committee. 



BUTTER, CHEESE, iC. 



Ralph R. Mann and Alby Rossman were the committee in this de-

 would have felt slightly diffident, no doubt, in the presence of their 

 northern Ohio kinsfolks — but then they'll grow to it. Of suo-ar and 

 honey, the samples were nice but kw. Premiums as follows: 



Best specimen of cheese, B. W. Colburn. 



2d best " W.H.Brown. 



Best specimen of butter, B. W. Colburn.
