STATE FAIR.

lnrRovEMRNrs.-IIaying occasion to-
pass BY the Fair Grounds few days.
ago, noticed that several quite inn
portant improvements were going on,
which will add much to the comfort of
visitors and exhibitors. at the Fair.
Besides eHlarg;ag several Of the build
ings on the grounds, preparations are
making for the erection of two more.
The Fairilast year was very credita-
ble one, but all had occasion to regret
that there was so little space in the
houses for exhibitors. We feel conf
dent that this will not be the case this
time. Besides, we observe, that the
grounds having been plouglNd up are
much more level than they. were before.
The arrangements for the coming Fair
will be much more complete aud salts
lactory than iur. the one last year.
With more time TO make the necessa-
~ improvements, aud more experience,
we feel sure that every thing will be
dome by the Committee to make this
Fair equal TO any in the country.

Branch Bank, in this place at the next session
OF the Legislature. II the effort is TO be made
Tor an independent Bank, as some prefer, the
notice Of the intention to apply for charter
should be published at once; and we would,
therefore, suggest the propricty of holding. a
meeting on Saturday of this week to consider
the sahect--say Saturday the 18th instant, at
l2o'clock.
The next session will be favorable tine for
the applications; and in view Of tho present de-
mands for such an institution at this place,
which wlbe greatly increased by the facilities
for trade soon TO be opened by she Rai. Road,
our citisens will manifest cupabe negligence
