'NY COUNTY FAIR.
THIRD DAY. -
The rain of •sterday, added to the cold
north westerly wind which prevailed, pit
a damper upo 1 the spirits of the nubile,
ausing a ye y slim attendance at the
grounds, Th's, together with the excite
ment which i i remiled relative to the riot
on Wednesd.y night, kept away people.
But fewaddi dons ware made in any of the
departments vorthy of notice, and though
we are sorry ,o make the remark, the fair
has proved a dead failure. To-day, being
the last of th i exhibition, may, should the
weather be fi vorable, proye,more :Success-
Cul than the p evious days, but we still are
of the opinion that the attendance will be
Very slim.
There was nothing to break the dreary
monotony of the day, but a runaway at a
late hour yesterday evening. A trotting
horse became restive and jumped the track,
I demolishing a buggy to which he was at
tached, but tieing no other damage that we
could learn. Another horse ran away,
running over a man who attempted to sine
him, injuring the man severely. This be
ing just bdforo dark, we were unable to
learn the name of the party, who was taken
from the grounds to his residence.
In noticing the display of Agricultural
implements of yesterday, we inadvertently
omitted to notice White _Brothers & Co.,
who had dii exhibition Burdick's National,
and Hunt's Hoosier Fodder Cutters, which
have been thoroughly tested and prove to
be the most satisfactory cutters ever before
introduced in this market. Besides these
their general assortment of agricultural
machines deserve great praise. At their
I warehouse, on Penn, between Wayne
street anti the Fort Wayne crossing, they
I have a large assortment of agricultural im
i plementa,for sale, especially the Hydraulic
I Clothes Washer,- which has been tested by
and has obtained recommendations from
' the first families of .this city, and the pub
lic are respectfully requested to call and
examine their stock. .
We are indebted to Judge Parke and the
Managers of the Fair for the uniform tour
' testes extended to us,and only regret that
unfaYorable ei t cumanceS have _rendered
this fair 'a failure. No pains have been
I spared to rinder it a success, and we
I trust that to-day, being the closing day,
I the public will extend a liberal attendance
to the County Fair.

SEWING MACHINE
Located at the left centre of Mechanics'
Hall, at the Fair grounds, is one of the
Int)st perfect cond,inatton Sewing Machines
we have ever seen. We refer to the Amer
ican Button note Oyerseauning Machin.,
exhibited bi.• Chas. C. Balsley, whose sal , s
room is on ! the southwest corner of Fifth
and Market streets, entrance No. 12 Fifth
street. It s the cheapest and best com
bined machine in the market, anti with
it , splendid mechanism gives a guarantee
of affmracy, strength anti durabilify.which
must recommend it to the favorable notice
of the community. The specimens of its
work, which carne under our inspection,
einl,racmg stitching, overseatning, em
broidering, quilting, cordihg, braiding,
gathering and sewing on, together with its
beautiful hutton-hole and eyelet-hole Work,
are the best we have seen-at any Fair, and
we very cheerfully recommend this ma
chine to families who need an- economical
and perfect sewing machine, knowing that
it will give full and perfect satisfaction.
THE REASON.
We, in common with other visitors at the
County Fair, could not but regret the ab
ence of the Messrs. Elliott Bros. & Bur
gess
from tunong the exhl itors. The firm
is ono of the most widel2.l known of our
'Nurserymen and FL' md their failure
to make a display could not but be re
marked. We are informed by a Member
of the firm that thee were prevented front
making their usual display in consequence
of extensive additions and improvements
to their green houses in Allegheny. The
tirin, it will be retnembered, made a beau
tiful display at the State Fair last year,
and have acquired a high reputation in
their line. Their depot, is at r 116 Market
street.
AL DE ItN EY CATTLE:
County
the stock on exhibition at he
Fair, were two fine specimens of
'Alderney Cattle, the young thorough bred
:bull, "Tom," twenty-one months old, and
the four year old cow, "Annie," exhibited
by W. B McCrae, of Wilkins township.
Mr. McCrae would especially call the atten
tion of our farmers and stock raisers to this
breed of cattle, which have long been cele
brated among lovers of fine sto .k. The
Alderney have no superiors for milch pur
poses, and those who would wish to im
move their stock would do well to call
upon Mr. McCrae, who will be at the Fair
Grounds to-day, end who will give them
cheerfully any information . relative to this
superior breed of stock.
FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES.
The fine collection of Ornathental Trees
and Shrubs outside Power .Hall, Fair
Grounds, are from the celebrated:Lebanon
Nurseries 'of II: Bockstoce & Son., near
Pittsburgh. This firm aro ready to supply
orders for Fruit or Ornamental Trees, Grape
Cuttings, Shrubs, Roses, Green House and
Bedding Plants, which can he by ad
dressing them at box 1325, Pittsburgh Post
Office, or at their Nursery Grounds, four
and a half miles froth the city
. on the old
Washing,on road.
TUE DISPLAY Or MESSRS. BECKHAM A LONG.
The display of Agricultural Implements
at the Fair Grounds, contribu".ed by Messrs.
Beckham tic Long, has been ono of the
finest features of the County Fair. Their
collection of Reapers, Mowers and Thresh
ers, together with the fine assortment of
Plows exhibited by them fiom the "Globe
Works" of Messrs. Hall and Spear, have
attracted universal attention. The reputa
tion of these gentlemen, as dealers in Agri
cultural Implements, and their thorough
knowledge and experience, has given them
a wide reputation, and we would advise all
those wishing Agricultural Implements to
call at the wareroom, No. 127, Liberty
street. Today, being the closing day of
the Fair, Mr. Ding will be on the ground,
