LOCAL IrEMs.-See notice Of the officers
of the Agricultural Society. A prompt
compliance with their request will be pro
'ductivc of many advantages, enabling them
to perform their duties much more ~satisfac-
'torily, and at the same time make this years
fair unequalied in'interest andusefulness. II
you cannot come to the city conveniently
pay to the member Of your board in your
township. Then, we can assure you, will
be witnessed one of the best county fairs
ever witnessed IN this country. The Socie-
'ty is now in a prosperous condition, and il
behooves the friends of Agriculture, Manu-
features and Mechanic Arts to keep it SO.
Boots and Shoss.-The old and popular
firm, Messrs. Work, Son & Work, have just
added to their stock a large and attractive
variety for the Spring and Summer trade,
which, together with what they are daily
preparing of their W work, will enable
their old customers to be supplied with any
thing they may want. Give them a call.
Ner Goods.-See Wise's new advertise
ments. He has now opened his Spring pur-
chases and presents to his old customers an
attractive variety. His taste in selecting
for this market is rarely excelled. Call and
see his beautiful assortment.
Boots and Shoes.-It will be noticed that
Messrs. Robinson & Trout have associated
themselves together in business and make
their bow to the PuOlic-in poetry. They
are young men, well skilled In this depart
ment of business, accommodating and in
dustrious. We bespeak for them a due share
of public patronage.
Rolling MM.-We understand thatit IS
the intention of Mr.. Gilbert DeVolto con
meet with his foundry and machine shop, a
rolling mill. He expects to have his prepar-
atoms complete in n short time, when we
shall certainly have the pleasure of viewing
the progress of the city''with pride ard sat
isfaction." This we trust is only the begin
ming of manufacturing enterprise and pros
perity. He is now doing n large business
in his machine shop, having several engines
engaged for the coming season. The ma
chinery of the Logan FIGURING Mills was
manufactured at this establishment and we
learn that it works to admiration.
The Spring Trade. The opening of nav
fgatidn upon the canal has enabled our bust
ness men to receive their supplies, or por-
ton of them, and the balance will arrive in
"a few days. We notice that large stocks of
dry-goods, groceries, hardware, iron, &C.,
have already been received, and we assure
our country friends in this and adjoining
counties that they cannot % better now than
to make this their trading point. These ar
ticles are sold at low rates, while as liberal
prices are paid for the products of agriculture
as can be obtained in any of the neighboring
cities. Our business men generally and
mechanics beGis. 10 entertain more hopeful
feelings which cannot be depressed now By
the cry of croaEers and they evlhce n deter
mination to keep pace with the progress of
The day and prepare for a more prosperous
state of affairs. Their heavy Spring par-
chases is the best test of the truth Of this re-
mark. While Upon this subject, it may be
proper to add, that though a large number of
business men and mechanics have not yet
discovered that the best mode OF publicity is
in the columns of the city press, our paper
presents a very fair index of the bust
hess of the place and its columns may be
Consulted with safety to learn the most lib
eraI and entefpfi2iig dealers. To that we
refer them for particulars.
The Weather.-The beautiful weather Of
the past few days, has been succeeded by a
slight rain. The Spring promises thus far
to be a propitious one for agrichltdfe and
horticulture.
SnipeS.-Edit6rs, poor as they dfe, DIE
sometimes in luck. We had the pleasure
last evening Of partakiHg of a snipe supper,
prepared at the Tallmadge House in superb
style, the game being furnished by ouf
friends e. L. Slocuth and H. B. Hunter, who
are somewhat accomplished lii Old Nimrod's
occupation, and Wh0se kind Invitation ne
hadn't the stomach 10 refuse. A dozeh
"good-fellows'' sat around the festive board
and partook of the bounteous cheer. On
any other like occasion, may we be there ID
see and-eat!
