Montgomery County Fair.

FRIOAV.

All were gratified with yesterday's show, iintl the oftlcers did not suppose that the crowd would fie larger to day: lnit in this they were disappointed. For want of space inside the fair grounds the vehicles were literally piled on top of one another, and so jammed together that it was almost impossible to pass through the throng of wagons, carriages, buggies and horses. 'We doubt if so many people were ever inside the .Montgomery fair grounds at one time before, and the deep interest manifested in the exhibition showed that tbe people h:d come really to see the stock and other articles, ami not merely to see each other and be seen.

The exhibition by tbe Crawfords ville Fire Company was one of the great attractions today. A pole some eighty feet high was erected in side the ring, upon the top of which was a barrel filled with combustibles. This was set on fire, the alarm given, and tbe splendid engine, Niagara No. I, brought into requisition as if there bad been an accidental fire. Scarcely, however, had tbe water from the hose pipe reached the fire, when the hose snapped in two. and all supposed the exhibition would prove a failure, but the boys showed their skill, training and cllleiency in this emergency in such a manner as to elicit the ap planse of the whole vast crowd. The damage was repaired in an instant and the fire extinguished before the barrel was half consumed.

The fair, 011 the whole, was a grand success, and everybody seemed not only satisfied but pleased with the result. There is, of course, some little g.iumbling about premiums, but this is one of the inseparable incidents of competition. Impartial judges were disposed, on all hands, to believe that the several awarding committees honestly and fairlv discharged their several duties.

explorations and

CoPt-

When at Lake Supeiior, in the Summer ol 18G8, the writer of these lines had a pleasing interview with an old man named John Lesserf, one of Sir Johu Franklin's party when he made his explorations ou the Makenzie river, at Great Bear lake, and to the westward along the Polar sea in 18or.o-

Most interesting are some of the statements made by this old man, who was born and brought up iu Montreal, his mother being a French Canadian, though his father was Prussiau. He spoke in enthusiastie^'praise of Sir John, as one of the best of men.— feelingly lamenting his sad enJ. He was then (1815), he said, a stout, large man, of about 40 years of age (Sir John was born in 1780). rather bnld. but fine looking.

The cook, a Scotchman, of the name of Wilson, appears to have been an original character. He carried his bagpipes with him, and always played them while Sir John dined. Wilson's greatest misfortune was when the Indians stole those pipes. ITe was so incensed that he threatened to shoot the perpetrator of the crime, and would probably have carried out his design ibut for Sir John's decided remonstrance. ''Never mind the pipes,"

the Scotchman's wrath was appeased. At the close of the expedition, Franklin was very anxious to take Lessert with him to England. •'But,"' said he, "had I accompanied
