Tnr FAE-MIsrAKEs.- On account Of the
indefinite and imperfect nature of many of
the reports, and the little time We had TO get
them in order for publication, number of
errors crcpt into our report last week of the
County Fair.
Instead of granting a premium on hogs to
Mr.. Flick, the first premium was awarded to
aycry fine animal of the swinish breed OK
hibitcd by Mr.. Fishburn. 1t should also
have been stated that two instead Of one
pair of the rdra ares of white geese were
exhibited by Mr.. Fshburn.
The premium on corn was awarded to
Thomas Carton, and not TO L. Harrison as
stated and it is also crcditablc to Mr.. &. TO
state that he donated the premium TO the
Society, an example that, in the low state OF
its funds, could be advantageously inflated
The report on carriage horses was entirely
omitted. The first premium was awarded
to C. NJ. Van Doren, and the Cd to Jno s
Mitchell, TO whom our report had awarded
the ID premium on work horses, instead o.
JAS Reed
We hope hereafter more time will be giycr
TO hold the Fair, Sc that thc business may y,
managed more deliberately.

TnE BRIDGE.-While we all rejoice in the
certain prospect that the bridge across the
Illinois river will be completed by the LIST of
December, it has been preferred in more than
one quarter As matter Of complaint, that no
efforts arc being made, or apparently in con-
temptation, to so grade the streets or make
roads on the south side Of the river that the
bridge shall be accessible. The bridge will
terminate at the edge Of the bluff, point at
present unapproachablc by teams, and it
would certainly be discrcditablc it. when com
plcte,l, month, or indeed any time, should
c'apsc, on account Of sheer Incidence or in
difference, before it can bc used We hol c
whoever is responsible in this matter will
consider himself punched up.
