sees that the answers to the questions proposed
would tend to criminate him, and the Court per-

on picnic 10 BaIringer's woods, taking with her
the children, the youngest of whom is about seven
months old, which was placed in little wagon and
entrusted to the care of girl abou twelve years of
age, who attempted TO cross a steam four feet in
depth on q narrow bridge, when cOlored girl
falling into the water. The screams of the children
reached the car of the mother, who was at short
distance, and rushing back she plunged into the
stream and rescued the little infant already almost
suiiocatcd. A little longer delay and the child
would have been drowned. A lady living in the
neighborhood received them into her house, where
kindness and attention were shown them, the shock
to the nervous system Of the mother having been SO
great as nearly to overcome her.-BaUio,oTe Jjaeyi

THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS.

a brief observation OF the grounds appor,ion! !
oil out for the use Of the Stare Agricultural
Society, has euabled us TO notice ,he admira-
BILE manner in which everything has been ar.
ranged Tor the Fair, which commences here
on the 90 h Instant. The area of the ground
enclosed for the purpose is twenty-five acres
upon which have been erected number Of
substantial buildings. and al almos, in,etmin.
able line oi stables &c. The centre hail,
facing The visiter as he enters the enclosure,
is devoted TO the Mechanic Ats, and is goo
feet Iona by 80 wide The southern, hall Tor
Horticultural aud Floral purposes, is $50 feet
long 10y so III width The northern hall, in
tended for the exhibition of Agricultural I'm
ptneuts, is l6o ieel long, so wide. There
are, besides, three Ieireshneht houses; two
each lao ieel long 80 VIDE; and The small
er one for ice cream aud oiher purpnses, 40
eel in length. Ranged around The grounds,
upon the outer edge Of the enclosure, aud
neatly constructed 49S cattle stalls; ll8
horse stalls, and 100 pens for sheep, pigs, &C.
uer that the animals are eGeciualy protected
in case of unfavorable weather, ye, at the
same time can be conveniently examined BY
visiers. A large number of coops for chick
eus have also been constructed. The ar
engagements for supply of water during the
exhibition, are OF the mos, liberal character.
Eighteen hundred feet Of lead pipe are be-
ing laid ihroushou, the grounds, and toun.
tain will shortly be placed in i conspicuous
position. Near the entrance are erected Two
officers, managers, ect, Of the Fair. There
are other noticeable features within the en-.
closure, bu, our hasty view Of the place pre-
vented particular notice of Them. Suffice il
20 say, that the preparations made for the
| Exhibition are of the most crediable iescrip.
ton, and calculated, upon the oe,asion Of the
Fair, to attract TO our city thousands Of visi.
tiers from the interior of The Pennsylvania
and from adjoining States. 1t will be the
finest agricultural EXHIBITION ever witnessed
ia the old Keystone State.
