QUA FAIR.

AONhO NN SChtiSuleH WHO were lnstru
mental in getting up our Agricultural So
ciety, and its sequence, a Fair-withou
E detracting in the least from those who con
= tributed their means SO liberally-grea
praise is due. 1t was necessary that ther
should lie those who would take hold O
the matter and push it forward. No
money alone was needed-it also require,
hard work. Fortunately for the enter
prise the movers were working men-mel
determined to put their hand to the plougl
and not look behind, until they had ac
complished their end and now that sue
cess has crowned their efforts, well may
grateful public thank them for their labors
Neither do we intend to forego our shar
of credit, for it is well known to our read
ers tha: the -Adoertiser, ever since its exist
ence began, has spared no pains or time il
bringing and keeping the subject before tn,
people. and if we do feel little proud al
the fruition of our efforts, the vanity i.
quite pardonable.
Eighteen hundred and fifty-fvc has been
a propitious year for the Farmer. An
abundant harvest has repaid him for his
labor, and consoled him foI the failure in
eighteen hundred and fifty-four. Never
has there been a greater yield of bread
stuffs, and after having passed through a
year of great scarcity-nay, almost of
Famine man must indeed be an in
CRATE, who does not thank the Giver of
all good, for his bountiful supply.
But to return to the Fair. The excel
lence OF the crop, an the extraordinary
size to which vegetables have grown the
present year, will enable exhibitors to
bring variety, and as few fairs ever had
and as shcw it will probably surpass any
that has ever been held in this region of
country. To do this, however, it will re-
quire liberal contribution of products
and articles from our farmers and mechan-
les. They must assist with all the means
in their power; if they do this-and we
are sure they will, judging from the pre-
parations making-the display at the Fair
will be fitting reward to its projectors,
and an honor to themselves.
Celebrated as we are for our fine horses
and cattle, we feel confident there will be
SINE of the finest stock in the State on
hand, and sight of these animals will
amply repay visit. AS for sheep, hogs,
poultry, &c., there will be no. end to them,
or limit to their size.
The premiums upon the prize ticles
will be most liberal. All moneys receiv-
Tor memberships will be expended for them,
and they will be paid either in cash or d.
plomas. according to the merits of the ar
ticles for which they have been awarded.
Much care has been taken in the selec-
ton of those composing the different COM
mittees. The Directors have endeavored
in all cases, to select persons who are can
did, impartial and unprcjudiced, and who
possess practical knowledge of the arti-
cles upon the merits Of which they are ex-
pected to decide.
Every preparation has been made for a
large number of exhibitors. The Fair
Ground is at the West end Of town, Gov
ers seven acres of ground, and is enclosed
by a tight board fence seven feet high,
with three entrance and exit gates. 1t is
we'll supplied with water for man and
beast. The ring is seventy five rods
long, and is in a first rate condition
for the purpose it is intended. On por-
ton Of the second and third days of the
Fair, those ofour Ladies who are qualified
as equestriennes. will have an opportuni-
ty Of showing their accomplishments
This will be one Of the principal features,
and ne understand quite number intend
entering the list.
The building. erected by Mr.. John X.
White, for the fancy articles, fruit, &C., is
$50 feet long and "a feet wide. 1t will
be sufficiently large for the accommoda-
ton Of all.
The arranging Of the grounds and build.
ings have been under the direct supervision
of our townsmen, Mr.. A BRAHAM York, and
it does infinite honor to his good taste.

Committee Of Arrangements.
