From the Cincfnnali AlLa,.
The Ohio State Fair Of OTAgrIculture.
and the POmOIOgicnI Convention,

ANA tAe POmOIOshc0I Convention.
Our readers may not be generally aware
that in this day Of Conventions, we arc
likely to have in Cincinn ali the creates
: assemblage in Convention. which has
ever been held in the United States; and
one OF great importance to the interests
of this city aud State. We mean the
Ohio State Fair of Agriculture. BY ar
. rangements, Of the State Board of Agri.
+ culture, the Great Fair will be held. at
this city, on the llth, l2lh. 18th and l4th
of September next; The last day being
devoted 10 Sales At the same time, there
WILDE meeting ofthe Pomologica Con-
! gress.
4 Few persons know what an immense
body nfpeople and what diversified inter
ests are coIIected on these occasions. AT
the N. Y. State Fair, at Syracuse, full
sirty fh0USaRd CiSii0tS werepresent. But.
the Fair was local, limited compared
with this. which will, oruught To embrace
the Agricultural, and. to great extent, ,
the Mechanical interests of the whole
Central Valley. We should expect moi
only the Farmers Of Ohio; but the great
Stockbreeders in Kentucky; the Tillors
IN Indiana; and those WIN cultivate the
prairie fields Of Illinois and Missouri.
Not only these. but intelligent men will
DC present tIom every portion of the
Uniun--and should Providence favor us
with good health aud good harves,s this
season, we may expect one of the most
interesting nccasi0ns of social aud com
mercIal Intercourse we have ever known.
Agriculture was the first great employ-
ment of Man, and it has never ceased To be
the most important. Bread, raiment, aud
the materials of comfort huw from il.
Peace and prosperity attend that nation
which knows how To cherish and enioy
the blessings which proceed from the
traits ut the earth, and the harvests of the
field
We understand that a large number of
rooms, IN the Burnet House, have already
hecn engaged for persons who expect to
be present. The Executve committee of
the State board have held a meeting, in
the City, aud made provisions for large
blion of both Agricultural and Me
chanical Products. A Show of Flowers
aud Fruits will also be made; and should
the fruits las there is now promise) be
abundant we may anticipate feas: of
The rich and beautiful, in that department..
Indeed there is nothing connected with
Agriculture, Horticulture, and their kim
dred arts, which we may not expect to
see. We hope, also, that a large number
ot our lovely conntrywomen will grace
tho occasion. We assure our "conntry
cousins" that the City of Cincinnati will
welcome them, with all the hospitality
which II is in her power to show.
The ground selected fnrthe Exhibition
IS Camp Washington. Fifteen acres will
DO lnclosed. with high fence; aud with
IL that there will be separate incIosures,
booths, stalls. aud Offices.
On the last day, there will be great
Sale, aud it will be suilabIe time 70 ex-
hIbt, or TO sell all those Products which
are connected with Agricultural Arts.
The Premiums offered by the Society,
constitute an important feature of the
FAR. In addition to the ordinary premi
lms offered, there are many Of mscol.
Ianeous character. which should excite
some interest among our me chauics aud
citizens. OF these. there are premiums
for Farm implements, Manufactured
Wares, Bells, Bread, Salt, Cloth. Needle
Work. Shell Work, and Wax Work.
Printing, Designs, Stoves, Flowers, Veg.
otabcs, Cabinet Ware, Coopers' Ware,
Bookbndiug, SaddIcr's Work &c &c. 1t
will be- seen from this, that many of our
citizens are Interested in the Fair. and
we trust they viii make preparations to
exhibit which they can easily do -sUme
Of their best work.
tn conclusion, we may say, that this will
no one oflhe best opportunities of draw.
ing closer The ties which connect this
commercial metropolis with the great
country, and its immense agricultural in
teresls, with which we arc so intimately
connected. If no unfortunate events
should occur, as wa trust there will not,
t" prevent this meeting a vust assemblage
may be expected, and we hope it will be
received with tho cordialily aud courtesy
with which we should receive our friends |
aud countrymen.
