The Pair
The tenth annual Exhibition of the
Huntingdon county Agricultural So
ciety, on the Pith, 7th and Bth days of
this month, was fully up to .the Stan
dard of previous exhibitions, and oven
exceeded them in many respects. The
number of people on each day was im
mense. Wednesday, the' first day, was
given up to entering the artieles and
arranging them, and sci great was the
number that the Committeeof Arrange
malts Was obliged to erect another
shed, and before Thursday noon" that
too was filled. All the articles were
properly arranged, and those who
went through the sheds on Thursday
afternoon had'presented to their gaze
one of the best exhibitions, for variety,
quality, size and quantity, that it was
over their good fortune 'to look upon
in a Huntingdon county fair. We for
bear entering into a description of
what was to be seen, as we would fail
to give a proper appreciation or do
justice to the scene. The list of pre
miums which we publish in, another
column will show who have received
the credit in the estimation of the dif
ferent Committees, but each of the
Committees will willingly assert that
it was very difficult for them to decide
upon what was offered to their inspee.
tion. That they succeeded in award
ing premiums at all is the wonder, as
everything "smiled its prettiest" and
sweetmeats tasted their "most ele
gant", especially when the Commit
tees were before them. In the de
partment of preserves, jellies, &c.,
there was an endless host-of tumblers,
jars and bottles, eoutaiaing just us
numberless a host of jellies, &c., that
would have made a committee of gi
ants sick to have tasted, let alone the
able Committee possessed of smaller
stomachs; but somebody did get pre
miums, and we presume those who
did not are just as well satisfied. Then
the painting depariment was very
floe, and we noticed many paintings
of fruit and landscapes that would
have done credit to a first class gal
lery of fine arts. The embroidery and
flower departments wore also good;
in the former the ladies, - it appeared,
had done their best to make this fea
ture of the Fair one of attraction and
interest, and wo noticed ricrany who
gazed intently 'upon the - beautiful
specimens' of handiwork of mother
Huntingdon's daughters; in the flow
er department the display of designs,
boquets, baskets, &c., was grand, and no
ono, with a love of the fmautiful, could
fail to be pleased with the loveliness
that this part, of the exhibition afford
ed. But the vegetable and fruit de
pertinent is the one which spoke the
rr6-cl o -else rrty'e ooi t
in accents louder than words. Apples,
large, luscious and perfect; potatoes,
fair, plump, and bright-eyed; cab
bages, mammoth, solid and weighty;
turnips, beete, pears, pumpkins, egg
plants, and the whole list of the vege
table and fruit kingdoms, had each
such a representative of its specie that
we have never seen equalled. And
so we might speak of almost every
department, but time and apace will
not permit. The exhibition of cattle
and horses was not as large as in for
mer years, but there were some very
good species present, and the quality
made up for the lack in quantity.
There was one great inconvenience
experienced, and that was the damp
ness of the ground upon which the
fair was hold. 'Pedestrians had mud
to contend with everywhere, and the
course for horses - was bad; - but no
great fault caw be attached to the so
ciety on this account. -- They - could
not provide in time for the inclemen
cy caused - by the wet weather prece.
ding the fair; but they did what they
could for the convenience of those pre
sent. It is to bo'hoped that next year,
however,- the Committee - will provide
for'all such emergencies. - —"

[COMMUNICATED.]
Serrott, October 6,1869.
The Huntingdon Monitor published
an article September 29th saying that
a copy of his paper sent to Saxton post
office has been tampered with, and five
out of seven copies stolen ; and further
that there are a dozen acting postmas
ters in the office. I must emphatically
say that it is a lie; there are but two
assistant postmasters in the office, and
that the papers arriving at that office
are always handed over when called
for. One of the subscribers for the pa
per referred to has ordered me to give
his papers to any one calling for them e
If lost in that way we are not accoun
table. The editor of the Monitor re
fused to give an author—that looks as
though it was his own manufacture;
and I wish to inform him that Saxton
is in Bedford county—he does notseem
to he informed. If he is not the author,
I want him to give the author's name.

spar Almost every day we hear many per
sons complaining of headache, lose of appe

&c. Many is the day that we have felt so
ourselves, and in fact have gond to bed and
ibiagined oursolteg !jell:, hut for the life of us
could not tell what was the matter, One day
while thus complaining, a friend said to us,
"Why don't you try Plantation Bitters? they
are really a good thing and will make you
foal like a new man." Upon his recommen
dation we purchased a bottle, and took them
according to the directions. They seemed to
go right to the spot, and gave us immediate
relief. Ever since we have tdken every op
portunity to recommend them.
