 THE FAlR.--l'he repous of ahe.| several ccmmiitees at the agricultural Far occupy T large portion Of our pa psr this week and 10 them we refer she reader for full account of li,e dc'nss at this anniversary holiday.
 Notwithstanding the very disagree able weather during both days Of the Fair, ii'e siiendance was very large, and the receipts sufficient 10 pay of the expenses of the exhibition Had the weather been good the attendance Mosld have been larger than on any former occasion in our village and inc receipts sufficient to have placed the Society ona very firm footing.
 The address ,of Prof Porter was aslivered on Wednesday morning un- der the big tent, and was listened to with much interest. Ii was a most practical discourse on the connection between Science and Agriculture, and was well adapted to the occasion. and cs'culated to exert an ilnporian. infiu- 'snce upon fhe farmers of Li,cbfield county who were so fortunate as to be present. The importance of being ac- 'quainted with the nature of the sub stance forming soils, and ilre laws re eulating is,eir combination, were the leading topics Of his discourse.
 Hev.John Pierpont entertained the audience in the afternoon with poem and address which were received with rounds of applause.
 A leading attraction to the show was the horseback riding by young la dies, but the track was so ex,remeIv 'muddy,has only five could be induc cd to ride, though some fifty, we are told, had been expected.
 The Cornei Band from Forcsiville, added greatly to the interest of this anniversary. It is said to be tbe best m the Slaie !; certainly it is the bes, which we have eyer heard in Li.ch- 6eld.
 The new military company from Wolcotiville under the command ol Lieut.. Brady, were a tery acceptable escort, and made very credilable ap- pcarance.
 The thanks of the whole communi- " are due 10 those gentlemen wi,o have had the principal management in arranging for this Show and Fair. The success which has attended their ef- forts, notwithstanding the mfavmab.e weather, is evidence that the new ar rangelnen.
