We have been so much occupied LOT Tue past
few DAYS with the Fair, that we have not been aO'e
IN sneak Of the Far. We need hardly 'ay that
the result has been mostgrnuNing to The thousands
who attended the Island, in common will Tie
whole community who with them felta deep IN

great Interests Of agricultural and mechanical la
bor. sought 10 be lOslered by this Exhibition. The
exhibition was most cTeditablo 10 the exhibitions to
the managers and to the country represented, and
al the vast concourse Of persons who attended,
vent 10 their homes satisfied aud gralifed 1--WE
doubt no, y with the sights aud attachments they
had Witnessed. The improvement over past eShi-
billions was most striking, particularly in The stock
department.
We observed growing aud marked tendency on
the part Of onT farmers ami those Of the adjoining
counties Of OHIO and Pennsylvania TO improve The
flood and action Of their horses and to elevate the
Grade aud condition Of oil Other stock, Ina lew

During HE second day Of the Fair, the closing
hoars were refreshed by The appearance OF
stranger shower, which eXerled most elllvenIng
influence over the face Of nature aud added much
10 the comfort Of the visitors Of the following day.
During the storm Tor the wind was very violently
the Suspension Bridge rocked considerably, much
u the alarm Of some persons VIM were on ii, but
the bridge stood firm and oil passed over in safety,
Much merriment was occosioned by the CALAMITY
of a young gentleman, who was with his "lad'e
love aud some Of ler friends in the omnibus on the
bridge, whotook 10 his heelo and made tie otEereni
nlthe Bridge, "back track" 2.4O, dslancing the
brs, lime made by the fast horses The race track.
Ills eallanlTy was too refined for the common gaze
who could not appreciate that by rsking his lie
to tighten the omnibus, he most probably saved
the entire concern from breaking down, and pre-.
cipilating the whole company into "wherc lie
riveG ought 10 be-" lie had another reason loo
for leaving, equally gallant, which we are not
privileged to name. De the question Of gallantry

IS established, and while lie suffered severely for
