The ladies fair at Highgate Falls on the Fourth of July was a success. The literary feast consisted of an address by Rev. D. W. Dayton, and L. L. Dutcher's amusing article on June trainings and militia musters. Noah Best Esq., presided and the Swanton band added to the attraction of the occasion by discoursing some good music. The tables were bountifully supplied with good things, and the sale of articles was brisk. Everything was done decently and in order. No noise and no intemperance contributed to mar the festive occasion. We are proud, as a native of Highgate and one to the manner born, to make a note of the excellent mode in which our friends and acquaintances can discharge all the requirements of such an occasion.
