In my last promised to say something
of the Ohio State Fair, which was held at
Dayton City on the 2lst, 22d and 23d ult
being the fourth annual State Fair held in
Ohio. The weather was favorable and the
attendance very large. As l was not pres
ent, l will have to rely upon the reports of
others. Mr.. GGst, the Recording Secretary,
made few remarks, in which he stated that
the " cash receipts of the Fair amounted
to $4,000, and that in this respect the
State Board of Agriculture had been well
sustained" Mr.. Gcst then adverted to
the meagre display in the Mechanical,
Manufacturing and Domestic departments
Of the exhibition, and pronounced the
meagreness " disgrace to the Miami
country" The people in the immediate
vicinity of the FAIR were strangely neglect
full of its interests. The Dayton Mechan-
les were too fearful of Cincinnati compe-
tition to make an effort, and the conse-
quence was the magnificent display of
empty bores.
The Stock department was equal to any
former State Fair, and the attendance of
people was larger than was expected.
The Cleveland Herald says: " In the
absence of Senator Pearce, Maryland, the
Board called upon Geo. Wright, Of Indiana,
to fill the vacancy. Well did he do it
Geo, W. is pleasant, ready speaker, and
his extempore address, of about an hour,
was listened to with interest by a all who
could stand in hearing distance. The ad-
dress was plain and practical, and eminent
ly adapted to the occasion"
The premiums consisted of 152 silver |
goblets, 64 silver pitchers, l25 silver med
ais, two of gold, $50 each, and 10 of bronze,
which were awarded to the respective sue
cessful competitors. The next State Fair
will be held at GAINESVILLE.
The Summit County Fair was held at
Akron, on the 10Th and 18th inst. Con-
siderable display was made, and great
many availed themselves of the half-price |
fare on the Railroad, to attend. The la
dies, equ IAN peri rmance was decidedly
the most attractive feature of the exhibition
pretty girls and fast horses received the
applause. :
WM. B. BRADBURY, the celebrated COM t
poser, of New York, is holding musical
conventions in this State, by request of
Pastors and CLoir leaders, for the pur- a
pose of improving and giving higher tone i
to Church music. His first convention vas L
held in Ravenna, Portage county, and was L
composed principally Of Choir leaders from b
different parts of the State. In addition
to native genius, and indefatigable indus b
try and profound musical attainments, Mr.. o
b. possesses, in an eminent degree, that g
peculiar tact and electrifying enthusiasm, a
which are indispensable in teaching. A O
correspondent of the Ohio Observer, in a
speaking of him says, at is worth ten e
fold the cost of attending the convention W
to hear BRADBURY read hymns" +.
A little girl, who has seen the grapes "
ripen only three times, was riding short a
time since, through the Valley of the Mo- p
hawk, in company with her parents, on II
the Central Road. Afer gazing for long S;
time out at the window, at the foliage, and CT
streams, and flowers constantly passing c.
before her eyes, she turned to her father IL
and said, "Pa, when are we going to get "
out of the garden 2" Many poet has II
