HEW YORK STATE FAIR, 
The New York State Agricultural Society is 
again, and perhaps more then ever before, in the 
ascendant. Its Annual Exhibition, held in Bofialo 
last week, was decidedly the best and most numer¬ 
ously attended of ary made by the Society for 
several years, and in some respects nneijnalled by 
either of Sis predecessors. Ab bright skies and a 
balmy atmosphere are always necessary to marked 
success in the exhibitions of associations whose 
members a&d patrons aie widely scattered, the au¬ 
spicious weather of the week must be reckoned 
among the prominent causes of the Bignal triumph, 
pecuniarily, and satisfactory results, individually 
and collectively, of the exhibition. But, though 
fine weather was a prominent and important item 
of success—and more appreciated on acoount of 
its rarity during the "Fair Term” of this season 
—it was by no meins the only favorable augury on 
the occasion The spaciouB, pleasantly located 
and admirably arranged grounds,—including offi¬ 
ces, exhibition buildings, tents, sheds, (Sic,,—evinced 
the wisdom and efficiency of the managers of the 
Society and citizens of Buffalo, and imparted a 
prestige of success to the whole exhibition. 
Though the grounds were not naturally so well 
adapted to the purposes of the Fair as those occu¬ 
pied at some previous ones, the arrangement of 
the buildings, sheds, &c., made ample amends, and 
we think that, taken altogether, the grounds were 
better arranged for the convenience of exhibitors 
and spectators than at any former exhibition of 
the Society. The management of the Fair was 
also excellent—the officers and their aids being 
generally efficient aud oourteons, so far as we could 
learn, aud performing their various and arduous 
duties with more promptness and satisfaction than 
is usual on such occasions. There are probably 
exceptions to the rule, but we certainly think the 
Executive Officers, the worthy Superintendent of 
the Grounds, and the Superintendents of the va¬ 
rious Departments f the Fair, are entitled to 
special acknowledgments for the admirable man¬ 
agement displayed, and order preserved, through¬ 
out the entire exhibition. 
As to the details of the Fair we are unable to 
report, want of time and opportunity precluding 
us from making as thorough examinations as are 
necessary to do justice to articles and exhibitors. 
We must therefore limit onr remarks to a general 
notice of the more prominent departments and 
noteworthy features of the exhibition, as observed 
on Wednesday. 
One of the best features of the exhibition, was 
the presence, or show if you please, of Men and 
Women. The " specimens'* in this department, 
especially on Wednesday, were remarkable—being 
almost universally far superior to the average of 
mankind, and worthy representatives of the In¬ 
dustrial and Progressive classes of community.— 
The Rural Ai ts, and kindred brandies, were most 
nobly represented, while other occupations and 
professions furnished worthy and prominent dele¬ 
gates. Indeed, we have rarely if ever seen, in such 
a limited spaoe, so many men of superior capacity, 
experience and enterprise—embracing so much 
talent and power founded upon knowledge—as 
were gathered in the President's Tent during the 
ceding of the names of Judges on Wednesday.— 
To ns, and we doubt not to others, the scene was 
one c'f the most gratifying and encouraging char¬ 
acter. But we muBt turn to other matters, though 
we won! d fain make morethau this passing allusion 
to a strikiU ff and interesting tableaux of the rep¬ 
resentative a of our Agricuiiarists, Horticulturists, 
Manufacture Y8 and Artizans. 
The show oi" Live Stock was good in each de¬ 
partment—Catti Horses, Sheep, Swine, Poultry, 
&c.,—and taken .altogether was decidedly better 
than we anticipate.'. In moBt classes the aniraalB 
Mr. Everett's A duress at the State Fair 
was a model in matter and manner, but one which 
we fear will not soon be equalled. Speaking of it 
the Bufftlo Advertiser remarks:—“It is not too 
much to say that this last effort of the accom¬ 
plished orator is equal to aDythiug that be has yet 
given to the world. Those who were fxrtunato 
enough to listen to its delivery will certainty coin¬ 
cide in this opiuiou. Nothing could have been 
more appropriate to the occasion, more complete 
in every part, and more liohly freighted with no¬ 
ble ideas aud brilliant passages, la its practical 
common sense as well as iu its masterly eloquence, 
the address will stand unequalled amongst, similar 
productions, cast lug the past into the shade and 
furnishing a model for the future. It would not 
be salLfactory to our readers, nor fair to Mr. Eve¬ 
rett, to supply anything like asketcL of the address 
Indeed, so petfood; was it as a whole, that to hold 
np any portion of it to view alone,strikingly beauti¬ 
ful as are some of its passages, would be destroying 
half its charm. Still, there are of course certain 
portions which must, remain Impressed upon tho 
memory of all who listened. Amongst these are 
the migntflceut denunciation of the doctrine 
which holds that a miracle cannot be worked upon 
this earth; the allusion to the heroes of former, 
and the great, statesmen of our own days* who have 
devoted such of their time as was not given to 
their coantry, to agricultural pursuits; the wither¬ 
ing denunciation of the stock gamblers of Wall 
street; the comparison of the fever of city life 
with the calm repose enjoyed by the dweller in the 
country; and the picture, unrivalled by the pencil 
of Goldsmith, with which the splendid address 
was brought to a close, and which impressed ns 
with the idea, as the voice of the orator ceased, 
that wo bad just turned from the contemplation of 
a beautiful painting.” 
Crops in Europe, —The London Economist says 
The English wheat crop is remarkably good, of 
unusually flue quality, and the weight fully up to 
sixty four pounds per bushel. In Kent and Essex, 
the produce is from forty-six to fifty-six bushels 
per acre. Iu the Millard districts theyield is fnrty- 
four bushels to the acre. In the north, north east¬ 
ern and western districts the growth may be con¬ 
sidered the best on record. Hence it would be no 
exaggeration to Btate that, England has produced 
this year nearly, if not quite, eight million bushels 
more wheat than in 1856. The Economist does 
not, anticipate any great reduction of price in con¬ 
sequence of this great produce, but Bays there will 
probably be a proportional increase iu consump¬ 
tion. 
The vintage has commenced in several parts of 
France. The wine is expeoted to be of excellent 
quality this year, and in many places large in 
quantity. _ _ 
The Genesee Co. Fair has been postponed un¬ 
til Tuesday next, Oct. 20, in conseqnence of the 
incessant rain on the days first selected. We be¬ 
lieve the odjourneu exhibition will be for horses 
principally. It is to be held at Batavia. 
The Seneca County Ag. Society officldly an¬ 
nounces an adjourned Fair, in Waterloo, Oct, 20th 
and 21st—instead ot' the 15th and 16th, as stated 
by a correspondent in our last number—when will 
take place the Ladies' Riding Match, the Harvest 
Home on the Fair Grounds, and the Trial of 
Speed of Horses. The premiums for the latter 
have been increased $300. 
The Yates Co. Fair has been postponed until 
next week—Oct. 2lst aud 22 i, we believe — when 
it will be held on the Society’s Grounds, Penn l r an. 
upon at length. Though not a great “swinish 
multitude,” the show included some very superior 
specimens, we believe—concerning which we so¬ 
licit a report from our amiable friend Msj. Brooks, 
of Wyoming, who superintended the department 
with his accustomed efficiency and impartiality,— 
Our readers are aware that he is well posted, and 
will, with us, defer to his better judgment. The 
Major will please respond. 
The display of Poultry was exceedingly fins, 
much better than could be anticipated after the 
subsidence of the fever so contagious and preva¬ 
lent in former years. There was a large variety- 
and superior birds of almost every kind. Messrs. 
E. A. Wendell aud Wm. R. Hills of Albany, D. 
8. Bkffbon of Utica, E. S. Ralth of Buffalo, L. 
F. Allen of Black Rock, aud O. Howland of 
Auburn, contributed largely to the show. We 
shall endeavor to make farther and more definite 
notice of this department in a future number. 
.4^. Implements and Machines were exhibited in 
abundance, though we think the display was not 
so large and complete as at some previous Fairs 
It comprised the usual variety of Plows, HarrowB, 
Planters, Reapers, Mowers, Threshersand Cleaners, 
Horse Powers, Shellers, &o., and included several 
improvements and novelties worthy of more ex 
tended Dtitice than we can give at present. 
Of Manufactures there was a very large and flue 
display. The exhibition of Stoves and Cooking 
and Heating apparatus generally was especially 
commendable. The stove manufacturing firms of 
Jewett & Root, Wood, Hubcell A Co., and Dud¬ 
ley <fc Bull, of Buffalo, were largely represented 
—each making a grand show of its wares. Indeed, 
most of the prominent manufacturers of Buffalo, 
in both iron and wood, contributed more or less 
to the general exhibition, and their enterprise and 
public spirit are specially commendable, aud 
worthy of imitation in other places where the So¬ 
ciety may bold Fairs. 
In Dairy Products, Grain, &c., the show was 
decidedly meagre for a State exhibition. Erie, 
Chautauque and Cattaraugas alone, ought to have 
made a good display of Batter and Cheese. The 
exhibition of Grain was inferior to an ordinary 
District Fair in Canada, and certainly far from 
creditable to the farmers of New York. There is 
room for a vast deal of improvement in these de¬ 
partments, and we trust it will be made next year. 
In Domestic Manufactures there was a fine but 
not large display, as we are assured. Domestic 
Hall was so crowded that we con’d not obtain an 
inside view—evidence that the handiwork of the 
Ladies was attractive. 
Of the Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables mention 
is made, in connection with a list of the awards, 
in onr Horticultural Department 
— Bat we must close our hastily penned and im¬ 
perfect notings. The Fair was throughout most 
commendable, satisfactory and successful In 
each and all departments there was much that was 
instructive and encouraging—much calculated to 
incite to improvement in the various branches of 
Caltnre and Husbandry. The Address by the Hon 
Edward Everett was an appropriate conclusion 
to the eminently useful, creditable and triumphant 
Exhibition. The distinguished orator fully sus¬ 
tained his great reputation, and indeed agreeably 
disappointed many who listened to his masterly 
effort We shall endeavor to give the'A ddrese, or 
a synopsis of it, hereafter. 
— Subjoined is as correct a list of the Award of 
Premiums iu the Stock Department as we have 
been aide to obtain. We shall probably give the 
awards in other principal departments in our next- 
number. The receipts of the Fair are reported 
to be $16,000. 
THE CHINESE SUGAR CANE: 
SYRUP AND WAX— RESULT OF EXPERIMENTS, 
Not all "Fancy.”— Writing from the recent 
State Fair at Buffalo, Horace Greeley says:— 
“ As sneers at ‘ fancy farmers ’ are not yet out of 
fashion, 1 am tempted to state that Alonzo S. Up- 
ham, President of the State Society, though a 
merchant in extensive business, and late a member 
of the State Senate, farms 300 acres near Batuvla, 
Genesee county, aud has 120 acres now in wheat, 
from which he anticipates a good crop next sea¬ 
son, in Bpite of the desolating midge. He has re¬ 
cently grown 3,040 bushels of wheat—from 100 
acres of land—a yield per acre which bas not 
often been exceeded on so large an area in this 
country.” _ _ 
Where’s the Major?— Our good friend W. B t 
P. asks about a “special” friend—"Where is H, 
T. B? Is he dead, or only sleeping?” To which 
we respond. Neither. We met him at tho State 
Fair, last week, hale and genial as of yore, acting 
as Superintem ont of an Important department, 
wherein were exhibited various specimens of the 
genus Sus—including representatives of most of 
the celebrated breeds, except the "striped pig,”

some of which arc really entitled to notice. Ono

to he censured, if not indicted, for endeavoring to 
injure tho corn crop!— to say nothing of his at¬ 
tempts upon our pocket. After writing, as a 
communication under the head of " laiportant to 
Farmers and Gardeners," a long and very strong 
advertisement of his "recently improved seed 
planter and garden hoe, or hand cultivator,” lie

The Missouri State Fair, held in St. Louis, 
was a magnificent demonstration, nnmcroualy at¬ 
tended, and pecuniarily a great triumph. The 
Mechanical Department was a great, and perhaps 
the moat prominent, feature of the exhibition. 
Noticing tho close of the Fair the St. Louis Repub¬ 
lican says:-‘‘The entire receipts from the gates 
and entries will amount to $30,000, or thereabouts, 
and, under the circumstances, onr Fair can boast 
of beiug the most brilliant ono held in any State 
during the year, the National Fair not excepted.”
