Council having in view the health and
well being of the town, cridered the Sani
tary Committee to recommend such mess:

citizens in carrying them out :
Ist, Let every good citizen see that his

2nd, If his immediate neighbors do not
do so, make a report to the Council.
Tiie main points are these : Keep eve
ry portion of the premises sweet and
clean. First as to; vaults :If they are
near the house - , or well, or shallow, take
them up ; dig -a new one farther off, ar.d
see that it is deep enough so that there
may be no overflow after bard rains.'

possible place, keep it as sweet as possi
ble by putting unslacked :lime in every,
week ; or two pounds of copperas dissolv-,
ed insa pail of water. • - • • .
2nd, As to drains : Be sure that your
drain is not stopped or clogged in, any
way. If it is, flood it until clean water
*tins through. If this cannot be done,
take it up and build a new one. Pour
through it a'palltul of copperas water ev- ;
ery week. If-the diainag from the outlet 1
remains without flowing off,. complain to

cattle, native,. thoroughbred and grades (
was very large, and its excellence was ad

has made rapid strides in the improve

this is due to the intelligent, efforts of the

Thursday and Friday of last 'week were
devotedeto the annual fair of the Brad
ford ,C.ourity .Agricultural,t3ociety. , ;• Not
_w ith . stimiing many adverse circumstances
the exhibition was largely attended, and
was a grand success. The entries of stock,
agricultural implements and farm pro
ducts, were greatly iu excess of any form
er year, and 3 marked: ittiliittionient In
quality in every department was a most
gratifying evidence that our faitners are
priditing by these annual exhibititts
that they beget a healthy spirit of emula
tion, which must - result in petntanent:
good to all concerned. We shall not at ;
tempt to give any detailed repint of. the

The exhibit of butter and cheese was
not creditable, except in_ quality. The
entries were meagre, where, in a dairy
county like tr:ulford this itepartnient
should have been,a leading feature. That

are prepared to testify, as we had the
pleasure of • testing ;the '-entire . samp(o,

handles adjustable for man or boy ; clevis
tallied or lowered easily and with rapidi
ty. L. .1. Culver, of W_ysox, has used
the plow, and - recommends it to his fellow

Also, Alvin's patent chilled plOw, mau
-1 nfactured by the South Bend Iron Works,
-Indiana. This plow is entered by Brown
41c Itoy. of Elmira, N. Y., 'D. E. Ayres,

farmers.
Entry 291. Class 8, No. 27—Dr. G. S.•
Peck, of Towanda, has on exhibition • a
Mowing Machine of his - own manufacture.
with many new improvements, which he
has got, pateated. It is a "direct draft ma
chine, cutting a b feet 8 inches good width.
Mr. Peck is a first-class mechanic, and -we
think has a machine of many practical
points which should command the attep
tion of the farmers of Bradford. •
Wo noticed the Ostom Sulky Plow, man
ufactured at
,Tnnanshorg, N: Y., a fine
itoproveinent over the old manner of fol
lowing the plow on foot. Sulky plows are
the plows which the plowmen relie upon in
the West. We trust that our farmers can
use them to advantage, at least upon level
ground. This allows progress and improve
ment in the prirsuit of agricultural. Man
ufactured:by Gregg & Co., New York.
Glegrea Co., Trumansburg. N. Y., also
ha a Mowing Machine combining many
imp ovements. The side draft is overcome
to a rt n extent by a new-improvement

Mut4 regret was expressed by manag

the absence of Several enthusiastic and in
telligent ladies and:gentlemen; who last
year made Floral Hill the attraction of the
fair. Mrs. GOODRICH, Mrs. Ri7ssEut., Mrs.

were frequently inquired for. . Their con
triliutions and labors last year were More
thoroughly appreciated this, season when
from illness and other unavoidable causes,:
the :valuable aid. of such persons was lost.
However the Grangers came to the rescue.
Grange Hall was most attractively and,
beautifully arranged and displa,ted, not
only the bountiful products of the soil,
but gave evidence of tas...e and refinement
in the large and varied exhibit, of fancy
work, and articles of househnld manufac
ture. But three Granges 'iompeted in
this.department, and .we were not sur
prised that the judges found it difficulty
'to decide which was entitled to thrtirst pre
initun,-but careful and critical examination
satisfied us as wo believe it did all others,
who were careful to scrutinize, that "Cen
tral" was entitled to the palm. The ar
rangement of the articles was Very • taste
ful; and Was greatly admired by all. •-•The
l atrons and Mations of Central need not

was\ awarded the first preininm. The
judgment-of the - people was for you.. •
