Virginia Agricultural Fair.

The Richmond Dispatch alludes 20 the proba-
biity which certainly exists, that the Next State
Fair will be the gandrst and most extensive that
has ever been held in Virginia. Its suggestions
to exhibitors are worthy of especial note. 1t says:
'.In view of this reasonable expectation. we
would adj, suggestion to exhibitors to have their
articles early on the ground The Fair opens on
Tuesday the S0th inst. Ifthey have their articles
here by Saturday ami communicate at once with
one OF the NLarShalS at the grounds, all will be
we'll and they will have no further trouble. But
if they defer this duty TO the last moment, they
will make trouble all round, bother themselves,
weary the ATarShalS and other oIfcIals-wh1 will
have their hands full any way-and then discover
in the end that the committees have totally ever
looked them aud their contributions. So, gentle.
men and lnuy exhibitors, take our advice, and be
