city of New York.
The great State fair at Utica is attracting, ut this
moment, much attention. The numbers in attend-
ance exceed, probably, those Of any other occasion
whatever. The streets of that beautiful interior
little city are one living mass Of human beings
Fifty thousand men and women Ia low estimates
and how many thousand horses and wagons, cattle,
sheep, hogs, and other small fry might be counted
up, would not like to say. The citizens Of Utica
have displayed much public spirit in this matter
They have even gone so far as to cover the pave
ments with tan-bark, that the county farmer might
not be olted from his proprety, and that the tender
footed might step lightly to the fair. noticed Gov
rnor Wright, Edmund Burke, Commissions
OF the Patent Ofice,) and many more of our
distinguished citizens, were present, and giving
countenance to SO worthy and honorable an
exhibition. The premiums to be awarded will
amount to several thousand dollars, and will tend
greatly to ince noble agriculurists to the per-
Torrance of even greater things than we have vel
