Mr. L. came to this county Nov. 11, 1845 ; he made the trip in a two- horse wagon ; Mr. L. is noted for his re- markable memory and good judgment ; his schooling was limited - about eighteen months in all.

He was appointed by the Governor of this State as Assistant Commissioner at that exhibition ; he purchased a county right for a patent farm-gate, while at that Exhi- bition, that is worth the attention of every farmer ; it is simple and cheap, and a per- son does not have to alight from a load of hay or a wagon to open it; it costs no more than a common gate; the inventor was a Canadian, and, of course, it is constructed so that deep snows are no hindrance to its being opened or shut at any time without
the trouble of shoveling snow ; it will pay any person to travel a long distance to see this gate ; there is no doubt but what they will come in general use just as fast as the people find out that there is such a simple device in existence.
