On natural beauty—rich and r

Each young gent of his girl complains,
Partly swears he'll woo no more,
Unless his heart for love gets sore,
Bows to the first powder and paint,
Looks in each face just like a saint;
I've judged you both, fair Miss. and gent
Can you forgive ? but, if you can't, •

THE FAIR
The Biggest Success
of the Season.
WHAI WAS THERE, AND WHAT
Everything. Netedt
Minus the watery space of the blanket
sheets, we are compelled to put out our
report of the second Annual Fair of the
Centre County Agricultural Society, up
on the present grounds, in concise and
stacato directness.
Mention of the rare adaptation of the
location to the purposes of a Comity Fair
—the vast number of delighted specta
tors present=immunity from accidents,
and all manner of "onpleasantnesses"
enjoyed—courteousness and efficiency
of Society officers, police and attend
ants, Wouldbe but uselegs repetition of
whatAhousands saw and reraiii-k - ecl scores
of time's during the continuance of the
Fair. We will, therefore, commence at
the beginning.
Nobly recovering from the dreary and
forbidding prospects several preceding
days combined to auger her fate, broke
cool. and hopeful. The glorious Win
throp once said an October's day was
the nearest foretaste of the reward of
the blest hereafter, vouchsafed to man
below. Doubtless the October days in
Winthrop's memory, embraced sunnier
hours than
GEO. M. YOCUM
"Kissed the sun to-day,"
but ours were "sufficient unto the day,"
and the desponding took hope.
Early morn discovered several ener
getic exhibitors and sutilers heavily
armed with haremers e nails, saws and va
rious other implements of manufacture.
These implements have stood in hand
the day through, and the racket and din
ceased as the sun went down. Gradual.
ly the grounds assumed a busier aspect,
and the scattering vehicles of enterpris
ing exhibitors trailed up the hill and
deposited their loads, just as a myriad
other wagons have done before them.—
Attentive and •‘posted" officers busily
and appropriately arranged all goods
consigned to their care. By noon a
small Fulton marketful of vegetables,
fruit and "nonsuches" amply justified the
Vegetable Department in putting on airs,
and proclaiming herself a demonstrable
success, whatever disaster occurred to
the ether classes. Such peaches, pears,
apples and golden grapes have not moist
ened our um:All—figural ively—and nerv
ed our digits—needlessly—since before
Fate booked us for a Reporter, and then
we had such things. Of this Department.,
its contents and proud owners, another
day or two will needs be ours before
facts and figures can be given.
Floral Hall was early saddled and
brid!ed by our young friend Jas. McClure
who prominently displays fine handi
work of skilled workmen, at the West
end of the Hall. At the East end, the
artistic genius of young Nolan appears
in pictured colors. The group of five
sketches—two crayon arid three oil
paintings—will be appropriately "yours
truly'd" in due time. Late in the day,
the tasteful and elaborate handiwork of
busy fingers hirsuted bipeds love to clasp,
gradually filled the "void," and, with
jellies, honey-combs, and other tasteful
"appurtenances," the Floral Hall came
near announcing itself as big a fact as the
vegetable kingdom. To-morrow will
leave no doubt of what this Department
will be.

The Mechanical Department presents
anything but that representative appear
ance so desirable at fairs, and so sug
gestive of the material prosperity of a
county. Save the broad acres of waving
grain and shocks of golden wheat, noth
ing so deeply, perfectly and truly re
presents the staple condition of a county
so well as the Mechanical Department
at a County Fair. Three reapers, one
aorneheller and separator, a -cornplant
er and churn, embraces, save the Dexter
Washing Maohine, down by the creek,
all the reoeipts in this Department to
day. Belt then, to•morrow, we trust, will

show a better collection. Of thee(' pre
sent, as well as those to come; our time
will gladly be occupied by-and by.
The Stock market ruled confoundedly
low, the whole day through. The fore
noon chronicled the arrival of. one lone
Durham bovine, the property of Mr. Sa
muel Gilliland. She was joined in the af
ternoon by a yoke of 2975 lb. oxen, the
property of Dr. Elias W. Hale. The
show of stock, numerically, can be little
worse, and, poor as it is, it exceeds the
exhibition in poultry. Two lone Cochin
Chinas kept silent watch the whole day
long, unmolested and unnoted by woman
or child. Biddy looked as cheerful as
the prospects invited, but it was plainly
evident the "old boy" was heartily dis
gusted at his limited harem. Flap your
wings, old chanTicler, the morning will
dawn brighter.
The track is in splendid condition,and
it is a great pity there is not more of it.
The usual variety of brutes that could,'
and couldn't go; drivers good, and those
who never drove before—nor ought
again; and vehicles, various, gave the
track an animated look.
Several harmless short winded"spurts"
between light weights, for beer and ben
zine, were presided over by the Cham
pion of country anatomy and nothing.—
Later, and a slight buzz announced the
arrival.of Lipton's speedy "Rose," driven
by A. Mullen. A few leisure warming
up turns, and away went thenervy mare,
rattling off her spaces - beautifully. The
light weights, abashed, retreated; just as
a second interjection denoted the coming
of Rikard's "Harry Clay." The terms
were speedily arranged, and the magic
"go" found the splendid beasts abreast,
Harry inside We dare not amplify
here—ft must' suffice that "Harry's-re
cord, in. the three heats, was 3:13, 3:09
and 3:10, "Rose" hard pressing. Opin
ions vary, and we hold our own. There
is nothing so certain as the uncertainty
of a horse race. Death was distanced in
that direction long ago.
The sun smiled benignantly on the
myriad policemen and departing figures
of the pleased spectators. To-morrow
will, we confidently predict, sec the
"show" in full blast. Then we shall see
what we shall see.
WEDNESDAY
One of Winthrops poetical days. From
"early morn 'till dewy eve," Nature
laughed outright, showering _down, nit,
solicited, her warmth of genial rays in
wanton profusion.
So soon as seven, the class, fair-sus
taining, sprinkled the highway and hill
road to the receiving house "builded
with hands" at $2 a day. The capacity
of police, not less than space, was well
taxed The waiting and willing shelves,
broad, inviting tables and seductive
nooks, in Vegetable and Floral depart
ments, were satisfied that nothing was
created in vain. The hard fisted, enter-.
prising yeoman deposited his overgrown
Cabbages, beets and mammoth corn,
while his not less enterprising and am
bitious spouso made equally liberal and
far handsomer contributions to the Hall
Floral. This latter Department, to-day,
bid glad Vale, Vale to her skeptical at-.
tendants of yesterday, and with the as
sistance, and in the presence of beauty,
health and genuine rejoicing, proclaim
ed her sovereignty, and assumed her
royal crown, labelled SUCCESS. We will
let the Vegetable and Floral domains rest
for the day, content that no poaching
hand can lessen their value, or steal
their deserving thunder ere our special
and enumerative pencil chronicles their
double success.
The Mechanical Department was sen
sibly—not very—augmented, but of the
additions and whole, we refrain until to-
morrow
The entries in the stock books were
favorable, yet lack in number and kind.
It is strange, unaccountably strange,
that these half dozen stalls are not occu
pied by some of the thousand fatted and
comely animals to be seen on a day's
drive through the county. It is wrong,
unpatriotic and reprehensible. Of this
idea, the stock and certain other ani
mals we add, "to be continued."
The daily p. m. trots were duly an
nounced, and did not. lack for interested
spectators. The hillside and sidehills
were well dotted with the various kinds
of the human race, mostly men, women
and children. First came the advertised
trot of double teams for the $3O premi
urn. Rikard entered his favorites,
"Harry Clay" and "Lew Petit"—Lee,
his gallant steeds, "Jersey Bill" and
"Tommy star." The warming•up pro
cess indicated a very closely contested
trial. First heat, both teams came up in
good order, and went off splendidly at
the word go, Rikard inside. Harry and
Lew . took the lead, and not for a moment
seemed Disposed to yield the advance.—
Nor did they break during the first heat,
maintaining, with steady pertinacity,
their speed and lead. Tom and Bill—es
peoially the latter—for who didn't sym
pathise with him ?—stretched out brave
ly to recover a sad gap made, as we be
lieve, causelessly. Dr., we rap your
knuckles slightly as possible, but we
don't blame the horses for letting -their
opponents pass the pole at 3:27 4-5.
Second heat. Both teams well in hand,
Bill and Tom indicating a "level best"
go. " Lew Petit" "raised," and Lee,
inexorable, hardened his heart, stiffened
the reins, and kept on the even tenor of
his way and would win at 3:35 1-5.
The third heat saw Rikard over the
pole at 3:30 1-5, Lee doing a rushing
business just too late. The fourth "go"
resulted like the third, and Petit and
Clay took the pole at 3:23 2-5, thus giv
ing their - enterprising and delighted
possessor the premium. Our sympathies
were on the other side—our stamps in
our pocket.
The Gentleman's Driving horses came
up sandwitched between the trot of the
double teams. Richard Conly entered
his black gelding, "Packer;" Augustus
From, sorrel gelding, "Dick Turpin;"
A. S. Valentine, dark bay horse, "Bil
ly;" K. Thomas, bay mare, "Lady;"
Geo. A Lose, brown mare, "Jenny;" D.
Valentine, bay horse, "Prince," and P.
Benner Wilson, the celebrated "Dot."—
We cannot extend our report of this ex
citing contest, and, therefore, announce
Lose's "Jenny" winner of three heats,
time: 8:35 2 5, 3:37 and3:372 5. Krom's
sorrel took the second premium.
With the announcing of these premi
ums, a general effort was male by all
interested, to leave the grounds, and the
attempt proved very successful, and qui
et reigned supreme over the ampitheatre
and grand hillside.
