In our Diimbr r we gave an aceouni of our viiit lo the Stat Fair al Utica, after lite elate of wliicli wn proceeded to Cleveland, Ohio, where we delivered the annual address, in place' of the linn, Daniel V dialer, who wn unalile In fulfil hi, engagement in conse quence oT in Jicpoailioii. This was the heal State Fair we have ever seen ; the grounds were extensive ; Ihe Imitilinga, instead nfhe mere shanties, wre airnuged tastefully, and sufficiently extensive for I lie full accom modation of visi O'f. The citizens nl Cleve I Hid rulered ttiosi Kjuriti-ill - inio the aff.iir. ami dieir houses were thrown open fur Ihe J cnmmndalion of visitors, and the 13th, IGtli. and I7lh of September, will lung be remem bered as a gala day in Cleveland. We must acknowledge that at every turn wc were disap pointed, and most agreeably so. We had viewed Ohio through a telescope of 20 years ago, and had forgotten lhal her advancements had been equal, if no superior, to those of our native alale. The display would have done eredit lo any Fair in any country. The thow of cattle was by far the most extensive wc have ever seen. The Floral and Horticultu ral departments were full and effective. The miscellaneous department was not deficient in a single article to he found in the exhibition nearer die Atlantic seaports. The dairy and farm products were of line, quality wilh ihe exception, perhaps of the State Fair al Ulira, almoat all the vegrta'dra being hybrids, and not true to iheir sort. The display of new seedling potatoes give promise that with or without the current dis ease, we should slill have a supply, from the introduction nl new and iindeleriorated sorts. Our address was listened to by an auih encc of two ihntisiiid persons; hut at it will be published by the Society, we defer ils re petition here. Cleveland is indeed an anomaly to a New Yor!rr. Here is a c ty m-eiipj ing a space, which w ill n our n c nory was surrounded by a dcrprrcsi, and which eijoys at this lime a merciiiilc pnaitoa equ d lo any other city of itsaize in the world. The amount of Iraii" p triable merchandise received and shipped from Cleveland, is grcaler in proportion lo its number of inhabitants, than in any city of the United States1." -Tile iniincnm; -trade of the Ukea can aearcely be conceived of bv eastern men. In tons and value, ihe iminuul. trans ported upon these lakes is greater tinn toe to tal amount of import and export from alt IW . eign countries to our Atlantic riner.

On the I Hill we left Cleveland for IlnlT. li, and here !.'. i" wn weie reminded lhal the f nn "Creal West" was truly applicable to tiie siirroiindiiig rountrv. Tho crops of all t ic lake shore find their way to these lake port, and nceesailv, from multiplicity of trans union, has simplified the melhodj of mercan tile operations, until our merchant princes of the Atlantic eitie might profit by many a h' aou from those of Hullahi, Cleveland, and oili er cities of lite West. There is an air of so lidity about every thing connected with west ern farming, that deligh:a the smaller opera tor visiting them fiom ths eaiU The large farms, the liberal applianees, the fine condi tion of working cattle, the entire ahsuace of J icayiiac i.-m, is truly delightful, ll i true that tho modes ftf culture arc not of the best kind, but lite liberal stale on w hich ihe oper ation are earned on, is very pleasing. From Buffalo we proceeded in Niagaia, vis jting the great falls, which are but a prototype i. of everything to be met wilh in the west. The Canada shore, however, we found to remind r a of many of lite ill managed farm of our adopleo state We next proceeded to Worcester, Masa ehuselta, where we delivered the Annual Ad dres al ihe Fair held there on ihe 23d Sep tember, by the Worches'er Agricultural Socie ty, I be plowing match took place at 8 o elok n the morning, and a large number of com pelilor were ready on the field, All but two of the plow were drawn bv oxen, and we really felt commiseration for the judge who were called oh la whom the premium should be awarded. The plowing, without an exception, wa good ; the depth, however, (seren inches) -we consider entirely too light. We then visited the Horticultural exhibi tion, at which the display of pears, apple, and plums, wa not inferior to ihe other ex - hibitions, of the season. The peaches, per hspe were les creditable than the other fruits. The diplay of grapes, and of garden vegeta ble, wa fair. The working cattle exhibited at thia Fair were fine and in good drill. At I o'clock a procession was formed, which proceeded to the Town Hall to partake of a dinner provided by the Society, and at which some 800 person were present. After dinner we were called on to deliver the An nual Address, which' waa listened to with more atteution than we felt ourselves euli- ' tied to. . , - A phonographic note of thi address were taken by Mr. J. P.vne I-owe foe the Society, who intend to pr'nt it in pamphlet form, we forbear repeating it tt thi time. On the S8ih of September we proceeded In Greenfield, Mainland attended die Fair or the Franklin County Society, held at that place. The show of nx-teame wa highly eredita blc, large number being brought in from eath l)f the adjacent towns, hitched together in one team, ind sometime to lh extent of 15 in trair. We were informed, Imwever, owing to the failure of the gra-a crop, that many of the rattle had been sold front the neighbor hood, and that these train were not a large as usual. Among the fat rattle we observed a pair of teer exhibited by Mr. Consider Arm, weigh M61 lb, and surpassing in beauty toy olh- mum w nave seen mm year, s.mimwimnrT-mrTi'iiiii rsif wa ' Puliarly good die variety of apple not in terior to lhal of any of the . State exhibition. The display of pear wa not so large. The euhnary vegetables were of good quality, bin wbjtct to the objection wlue before named in relation lo exhibitions elsewhere, thai of being raised from impure seed, and giving re fill! mil trni! In their sorts. The ohow of horses was fair. The whole town seemed over-filled wi'h visitor. We were surprised at this, as the Fair at Spring field, and the Fair of another adjoining coun ty, wJttfe held on the same day. We delivered ihe Annual Address on the 3()tli whirh die Society intend to publish for distribution. The enthusiasm, both nl Greenfield and Worceatcir, convinces ua that Massachusetts will not long remain without audi an organi sation of an Agricultural Department as the farmers may draire. The appropriations of the Stale during the last session of the Leg islature, were liberal. They already have a Stale Hoard of Agriculture, and will appoint a Secretary a a Slate officer. The Slate Hoard sent a delegate to this Fur, who, in company with many other, delivered able addresses al the annual din ner. it- t .it c . : ... c c?: f.,,1,1 , i;.PnGM. on ihe llnnantonie H .11- road This road passes through the valley of the Connecticut River, and on each side wc saw those celebrated meadows which have long held first place a, the dairy country of the North. Notwithstanding our unpropili ous season for grass, we saw hundreds of acres of such aftermath, as is not to he met with elsewhere. Tho product of four tons from the acre, per season, is not unusual on ttojnc of those meadows. ((Ti the 7th of October we delivered the An nual Address for the HridgcKirl.

The plowing maich at Ibis Society, the premiums for plowing were $-)0, said ihe number of plows thirty two. The great Fair of the American Institute will be noticed in a separate pai l of our pro em number. As a whole, the Fairs of this year surpass ed those of the last, but the cheering feature of all, has been the enthusiasm of those attend ing. Even the County Fairs seem to call lo gi ilier not only the farmers ol the Counties in which they are held, but of ilinso adjoining well as uiiiiy freui other States. We re cognized many faces, al Woorsler. lircenlicld.

In preference to the dangerous experiment of polling a rearing horse backward, I rctxtnv mejtil the following method: Whenever you; perceive t horse s inclination to rear, separate your rein and prepare for him. The instant ho is about to rise, slacken one hand, and bend or twist his head with the other, keep ing your bends low. This bending -compels him lo move a hind leg, and of necessity brings his lore Tect down. Inslan'ly twist bun com pletely lonud two or three limes, which will confuse him very much, and completely throw him off his guard. , The moment you have finished twisting him round, pl-,ee hi head in the direction you wish to proceed, 1 apply the spurs, and he will not fail to go forward ; il the situation be convenient, press him into a gallop, and apply the spur and whip two or three time severely. The horse will not perhaps be quite satisfied with the first defeal, but may feel disposed to try again for the mastery. Should this be the case, you have only to twist him, Ac, as before. and you frill find that in the second struggle he will be much more easily (ubdued than on the former occasion ; in fact you will per ceive him quail under the operation. Il rare ly happen lhal a rearing horse, after having been treated in the way described, Will re sort to hi trick third lone. . The Sport man. STATE BOARDS OF- AGRICULTURE .

The interesting and highly important Slate Agricultural Association commenced its An nual Fair, at Macon, 011 Tuesday 19lh in.., iiiuler very lavorabld auspices. The weath er was fine, and the numerous articles in al most every department were such as lo prom ise a rich treat to tho most fastidcous. ll wa expected that the Serrr.d Coinmillees would have reported on Thursday, so lhat Ihe exhi bition would have proceeded without inter ruption. Hut much time was consumed in discussing the proposition relative lo the ap pointment of a publishing organ, not so much as it regards'the object, hut n whal should be the publication ; there was much dabating mingled with aome unnecessary ex citement. A compromise as finally agreed upon by appointing both, "The Soil of the South, printed at Columbus, and the "Soulh- j em Cultivator" of Augusta. It is said, that live thousand person were kept in uspenso by this uiiurrditablo discussion. During Ui three last day, visitor poured in Jfom eveYyquarter, and, ihe crowd- was sonlctimes very oppressive all cciuing to lake a thrilling inu real iu the exhibition of the products and skill of Georgia' favored ous. The exhibition was, wc Icain, very satis factory lo those who could see it it all the departments ; but ihe crowd was so great lhat few, in comparison, could havo an op portunity ol making a full examination, 80 far as we were able to examine the articles. we think. tUet Ihe tlrictly agricultural de partment surpassed any thing of the kind we ever witnessed in Ihe northern or Southern State. There wa a manifest improvement on ths last year' Fair, and augurs wdl for the growing improvement and agricultural skill ofA entpire State, la the stock di- parltnent, there wa a degree ol excellence over last year. 1'hc-grain snd seeds were much more full and perfect, on an average. but we should consider that the past season has been more favorable lo the growth and maturation of cereal grain, than for many years past, in almost all part of Georgia.

JUDGE DOUGLAS REBUKED BY A DEMOCRAT. The part taken by Judge Douglas in Ihe campaign has been repeatedly animadverted upon as malignant and discreditable in the cx-j ireme. We hsv-i not seen more screre no tice of his oratorical style than the following, written hy the editor of the Oshkosh (Wis.) Deinoi'rit, a Pierce and King paper, 111 ref erence to Ihe performance of the Senator at Milwaiikie: "Bull wa ashamed, disgusted and heart sick. Tho speech wa characterised by the lowest demagogical partisan scandal. I was ashamed, because from hi position, I expect ed something manly from him.
