that FairwilI be held in this City on
the 18th Of October next. for the exhi-
bition Of improvements in all branches
Of industry. and especially IN the agri-
cultural and mechanical pursuits. The
proceedings Of the State Agricultural

therefore, he read with lively interest

of the State and every citizen, who
takes an interest m her welfare and
advancement. will exert himself to give
encouragement and success to the Fair.
As it is designed for the special bene-
fit Of the Farmers and Mechanics, we
call upon them in every section Of the
State, to arouse and lay hold upon the
matter with zeal and vigor identi-
fy themselves at once with the friends

and active cooperation in all things
necessary to insure an encourlng and
profitable display-to set about maxi
ing improvements. to prepare some
thing for exhibition, to contribute to

Farmers and Mechanics in some Sec

the lists as competitors in various de-
partments; that the spirit is spreading
with encouraging rapidity in sumo sec

calculated that twenty or thirty thou
sand persons will attend. May we not

Not mine the scornful mood -

And deem it gratitude.
And though pcrchancc the Crickoter,

I see no folly in their play.
But sense that underlics.

Bestrewn with Stag and thorn;
| would not mock the simplest joy,
That made it less forlorn,
But fill its evening path with flowers,
As fresh as those Of morn.
'Tis something when the noon has pass'd
To brave the touch Of Time

My soul is in its prime;
Thou canst not chill my warmth Of heart

Nor deem that sports unman;

The following amusing anccdote of
the celebrated musician Schneitzhoeff-
er, is translated from late number Of
the Courier des E'tats Unis:
Schncitzhoeifcr was unwilling to cx-
ert his musical powers except for his
intimate friends. He avoided all Of
fetal ceremonies, and refused what
ever invitations he suspected were in
tended as decoys to the piano. The
celebrated Sakosky, who had been dig
nifcd with the title of Bootmaker to
the Emperor, having heard Schneitz-
hociier in a soiree, begged him to ac-
|ccpt an invitation to dinner. lie did
not feel at liberty to decline. After
dinner, Sakosky supplicated the favor
Of listening to one Of his works. Too
polite to refuse, he dissemblcd, as well
as he could, the repugnancc he felt in
complying with this request. The en-
tcrtainmcnt being ended, Schncitz-
hoeaer invited the bootmakcr, in his
turn, to dine with him on the following
Sunday. Immediately after the re-
past was concluded, he caused pair
of old boots to be brought, and pre-
scnted them to Sakosky.
"What do you wish to do with these
boots - said the maker of imperial
solcs, quite Disconnected.
" Last Sunday" replied the musi-
clan, with the impcrturbablc cooness
that characterized lnm, "you begged
me to make music for you after dinner;
| now pray you, on my part, to mend
my boots. Every one to his trade. y
This gave origin to the expression
= | am about to make boots," since
used by musicians to signify an inten-
ton to practice their art.

A Remarkable Case.-sight to the
Blind

The Woodstock American furnishes
an interesting notice Of an experiment
made by DR. Caldwell, in Canada, few
days ago. Our contemporary says that
n blind girl named Sarah Hanley, of the
township of Malahide, was restored to
sight almost instantancously, and then
goes on to remark
1t seems that she was born perfectly
blind, and is now twenty-onc years Of
age During this long time of course
she had not the slightest comprehension
Of the appearance Of any objects more
than she could acquire from the sense of
touch It is little wonderful therefore
that her feclings'werc excited when she
first bcheld the light Of the sun and the
appearance of all the things around her
Our contemporary says-"To describe
the sensations of the young lady, when
the first welcome ray of light entered
her hitherto sightlcss orbs, would be be-
yond our power. In an instant, as if by
magic the idea Of material things which
she had cherished for so many years,
through the sense offccling were cntomb-
ed in memory A new and bright world.
full of light and lifo-full of wonder and
admiraton-tcrriblc, because hitherto
unknown i'll its realized beauty and gran
dcur, arose before her. She looked and
trcmblcd she shook from head to foot
like an aspen leaf; and unable to utter
a word, she gazed in wild astonishmcnt
