TER ANNUAL ~uEETIxG.-The pr,,ont Off
GERS and membcrs--and th"ro. ~ho wish so
become officers and mer..ers-of the Agri-
cultural Association, AUST r%ecollect that the
Annual Mee!;o,, for the election Of officers
anil the transaction Of other important busi-
ness, will take place in this city, on MONDAY,
the 9Th day Of DEcEMsER next.
We beg our exchange papers in the various
parishes to notice this fact, and call upon
planters, mechanics, and all interested III the
Undertaking, to be present. At the approach
i,r me2ting some amendments VIII be made
TO the Constitution: and we sincerely hope
thut every intelligent planter il the State who
can make it convenient to be here, Will be
present. We shall be happy to see a large
number of our brother editors in Eaton Rouge
o. that day.
Tnn FA1R.-Wcll, the fair did open
last Monday morning, and altogether mere
brilliantly, etoo, than had been expected
by many who believe there IS nothing but
-'.canc and S~rreolcs" IN Louisiana. Yes!
there was no IittIc disappointment on the
occasion: lSt, those who from the begin
ming, had given their hands and hearts to
the matter, were most agrccabIy GIsap-
pointed ut seeing an assembly so large
and respectable: I'd, those whose prcJHd'ces
led them to believe nothing was available
without their counsel and h%urrahs, and
consequently to hope most dcYoutlyo1hat
tie fair would be no fair, suffered a sore
disappointment in the uncontestablc cyl
dGnce offered, that the people en- mas$G,
take Il deep and sincere interest IN the
wojcct. ..,.
Then, again, there were other disap-
pointments: every body had heard OF the
Glrrison ia Baton Rouge, and every body
knew Baton Rouge to be a pretty city;
l,lt very few ever conceived that Uncle
Sans quarters here, for real beauty Of
construction aud location, were Tar better
worth a trip over the Atlantic for the sight,
than either the Chateau dc Neul!ly on
thc Seine, the palace OF st, James, Or
the famous Tower of London on the
Thames. This beautiful spot, through the
%obIiging urbanity of Capt. G. Nouns, U.
s. A., had been secured by the committee
Of arrangements, and here the fair was
held. The rich view presented, was a pleas
ing disappointment to many an admlrer OF
the lovely and picturesque. And then last,
but not least, perhaps, was the ndeiatIga-
bic DR.. Plough, chagrined, down cast,
(but not dismayed or discouraged that
things were o altogether on a better,
larger, deeper, broader, longer and grand
er scale. The Doctors disappointment
was not Light; bat Judging from the spirit
prevalent among Jill planters, we are. sure
he will be much relieved OF visiting rs
again next year.
The objects exhibited, though the num-
her might have been increased without
difficulty, were all worthy the honor, and
some Of them such as to excite wonder as
well as admiration. We will specify a
few for the editication Of our distant
friends, and the qualification Of those
nearer home. To begin with the
Lire Stock:-The splendid improved
Durham COW, imported, British Queen,and
calf Great Western, the property OF Sos
theme Allain Esq, was such as "Old hen-
tack" would find it hard TO beat. We have
seen larger. and we suppose better mllch
cows at the fairs in England, bat never
saw one of superior symmetry, or capable
Of working out more leefIn proportion to
the bone. Great Western is only three
weeks old, BAT already shows that he is
his mothers son, every inch Of him.
Aaron Biuy.-A d TX brown 3 year
old horse, the property Of 6. W. Wcmack,
of st Helena; bred in the State, large and
admirably proportional.
'aC arolinc.-A beautiful bay FLY, 3 yrs.
: old, belonging to B. B. Ncsom, Esq, OF
st. Helena.
Our fcllow-citizen and ~neighhor, J. Her,
nandcz, ESD, exhibited a bay I'ony OF
his own raising, of the most exquisite sy,
metry. "EIe's a beauty" was the, remark
of all vino saw him.
's Sir Archg.-A bright ~sorrcl, 8 yrs. old
strong and ~weIl-lin2ed; the property o
John Began, Esq, Of this parish. @
Storm.-A2 yr. old roan colt, is hands
I inch high, owned by Daniel Sullivan
and raised BY him in this parish. Storm
is wild from the woods, but shows to grea'
advantage, and we hope he will be KEEP
for the Improvement Of Louisiana farm
, stock.
Fergus Daplantier, Esq, Of this parish
exhibited three beautiful animals, SKI
LarE, IA bav colt 2 VI. old; Gambler auC
Catheriac Greg, both 3 yrs; the fornet
a spendid s~crreI, the latter a grey. Al
these are bloodcd animals, out Of impor
ted stock, and the two 3yrs. old, in keep
ing for approaching races at New Orleans,
Lire OLA bloodcd bay, owned By
Chas. Dickinson, of BAYOU Gross? T6tc
Live Oak is a racer OF good reputation
and was considered the finest ) VI. old OF
the ground.
Thos. Williams, Of this parish, exhibited
his bay horse, S1akespear, by Shakespear
4 yrs. old. a nag ''hard to beat" take hin
as YOU will. T
Thus much for the horses; Anthem.
Monget, ESQ. Of this city, showed som'
splendid China Grass hogs, the produce o
a stock supported (says the description
to Rhode Island and thence TO LOUISIANA
Orazimbo, l year old, is a splendid ami
NAL; and as this breed is n Of the bes
for planters, on account Of IFS free fatton
ing qualities, those who wish to improve
their stock, might do we'll by calling TO see
him at Mr.. Monget's place.
But as we find it impossible TO ennme
rate all the articles exhibited in our pre-
sent space, WI here drop the subject unit
