Of articles to which We have not alluded, but

We have only room to add, that the first
Fair Of the State must have greatly exceed

most zealous advocates; and serves to DEM
o~nstrate tha: by another year, we shall be-
able to present an array eques to othes States
which have long been IN the habit Of holding
these exhibitions of industry, skill and i'm

to a very large concourse. Its delivery was
justly attended with very great satisfaction
and delight upon the part of the auditory.

n on each day of the Fair, has been variously
estimated at from four to six thousand and
the receipts from admission to the exhibition
and from accessions to the State Societ have
been very large.

MF The Editor of the Age, during the
past week, was much afflicted, which excuse,
together with many engagements during
the exciting times, prevented his bestowing
as much attention as usual to Editorials, or
to the favors of Correspondents. Next week
he will be absent, in attendance on the Grand
Division. On his return, he hopes to square
up and take a fresh start.

THELsST FISH STORY.

We don't know who wrote the follow
ing melancholy and hcart-rending tale,
but the author is certainly man of rare
faculties;
The following thrilling account is said
to have been taken from the log book of a
vessel sometime since arrived in port
In course of the voyage, that dreadful
disease ship fever, broke out among the
crew. One of the sailors, among the first
victims, was accompanied by his son,
lad of fourteen years, who was strongly
attached to his father, and remained with
him day and night, and never could be
persuaded to leave his sick father for a
moment.
4 large shark was seen every day fol-
lowing the vessel, evidently for the pur-
pose of devouring any one who should
die and ne committed to the deep.
After lingering few days, the sailor
died. AS it was the custom at sea, he
was sowed up in a sheet, and for the pur-
pose of sinking him, an old grindstone
and carpenters axe were put i'll with
him. The very impressive service of the
! Episcopal Church was then read, and the
| DOuN COul1nltjct 10 Tic uecp.
The poor boy who had watched the
proceedings closely, plunged liz after his
! father, when the enormous shark Swal-
lowed them both. The second day after
this dreadful scene, as the shark continu-
cd to follow the vessel, (for there were
others sick on the ship, one of the sailors
Pror"ccd they had a sharp hook OH
board, to make All effort to take him.
They fastened the hook to a large rope
and baited it with piece of pork, threw
it into the sea, and the shark instantly
swallowed it. Having thus hooked him,
by means of a windlass they hoisted him
on board. After he was dead, they pre-.
pared to open him, when one of the sal
lors STOPPING down for that purpose, sud-
denly paused, and after listening few
moments, declared most solemnly he heard
a low, guttering sound, which appeared
to proceed from the shark. The sailors
after enjoying hearty laugh at his cx.
pense, proceeded to listen for themselves
when they were compelled to admit they
heard similar sound. They then pro.
ceedcd to open the shark, when the mys-
terry was explained.
1t appears the sailor was not dead, but
in trance and his son, on making this
discovery, had, by means of his knife,
ripped open the sheet. Having thus lib.
Grated his father, they both went to work
and righted up the old grindstone-the
boy was turning, the father was holding
on to the old ship carpenters axe, for the
purpose of cutting their way out of theil
,Jonah-like prison, which occasioned the
noise heard by the sailors. AS it wa:
the hot'csL season of the year, and very
little air stirring where they were a
work, they were both streating tremen

flew about the room, but remained droop-
ing on their perches, eating very little
and gradually dying off one at time
The owner seeing this. but little suspect
ing the cause, had the whole tribe remov.
ed to the house of friend, also a bird
fancier, in the country, where he thought
the pure air would revive them. They
had not been twenty four hours in their
new abode. before they began to grow
better, and in few days they had re-
sumed all their life and health. But
alas, the poor child left in Paris became
visibly worse. The physician, wishing
to try an experiment, had two birds, a
parrot and linnet, brought back to the
room. In week they were both dead,
and being opened, the doctor noticed all
the signs of rapid consumption. The
fact ,""s ir,,rn ~di~.viy .opo.,,d ~ several
members of the medical faculty, and birds
ofevery description were sent to the child's
room. Every one of them died, seeming
to give its little mite of life to aid the
suffering child to live. The child is not
yet dead, and has been taken to the
country, while the doctors are busy
studying the phenomenon which chance
has thus brought before them.
