NEW YORK STATE FAIR.

The New York State Agricultural Fair, held at
Elnra last week. was most imposing and successful
in every respect. Up to noon on Friday the receipts
amounted to $l1 900 against $4,000 last year,
and 5000 the year before. Governor Wright, of
Indiana, delivered the annual address, which is said
to have been a most able production. The Cover
nor, after touching upon agricultural resources,
modes and proaucts, says:
1--WE must cultivate the roots-not the tops. We
must make the .tamily gorernment, the school, the
farm the church. the shop the agricultural fairs,
the laboratories of our future greatness. We must
educate our sons to be farmers, artisans, arch
itects engineers, geologsts, botanists, chemists
in word practical men. Their eyes must be turn.

the only patriotism that will perpetualiy preserve
the nation"
He paid high tribute to the Stale of New York.
and the great NAMES that have rendered 1t ustr'-
ous. Looking to the country 1; large he said:
'sThe present national greataess, Of The United
States is attributable 10 obvious prlncipics-he
influence of law upon citizens and their attach

Just in proportion as NJ have departed from the

domestic Institutions OF onr ie.s ho1S, ave We been
led into difficulties and trials. There Is no higher
duty to the citizen, than maintain by word, deed
and action the absolute supremacy OF Jaw. We
should bear in mind this great truth, that the first
public act of disobedence to law is the first fatal
step in the downward road to anarchy "
