Our County Fair, &c.

The Second Annual Vanderburg County
Fair will commence on the 18th of October
(not 18th as we erroniously stated yesterday, }
and will be continued three days. The beau
tiful grounds recently purchased by the Agri-
cultural and Horticultural Land Association,
wants of the occasion. The necessary sheds,
&C., will be put up--a fine quarter track has
been laid off, the grounds enclosed by substan-
tial fencing, &C., &c. The first Annual Fair
was very successful. The exhibition of the
different products of home industry was large
land varied, and highly creditable to those who
tcompeted for the premiums. The members
[of the Society were agreeably surprised, and
were spurred up by their success to renewed
energy and industry in carrying out the great
|ohjects of their enterprise. Although their
labors had been arduous and indefatigable, the
success of. the first Fair was such as to en-
courage them to at once commence wider
field Of labor, employing more hands and more
capital, and more generally enlisting the whole
community of the county. They formed q
I-stoek company for the purchase of q large
iPiece of land, eligibly situated, tc be devoted
exclusively to the uses of the Agricultural
and Horticultural Society, and TO be fitted up
for its own especial purposes. Considerable
Eliberality was manifested by citizens in taking
this stock, and the payments thereon have
generally been promptly made, although some
stockholders are yet in arrears. 1t is to be
hoped those few will at once make their pay
rnents, and thus enable those now laboring SO
earnestly, to carry out in a proper manner the
preparations making for the coming Fair. The
land has been purchased and worl1aen are
now husily engaged in preparing it for use
More means are wanted to promptly pay these
workmen. ...,.t ,[........... "a

as in themselves to offer any inducements for

prizes offered are really Of a valuable natnve.
and will in themselves afford inducements for
lively competition. we trust our farmers, ar

ticles totthe aQctober Fair as they. can, either
in econpetition for the PRICES, or for general

p MILLEr SEED.-Millet is a product little
known to the farmers in this vicinity, we be-
lleye, though it is highly esteemed among
Eastern farmers. When well cured, stocl,

yields from 4 to tons per acre, and can be
sown broad cast or in drills. 1t is put into
the ground in the latter part of April or the
frstof May, and does not come to maturity,
fitfor harvesting till September, when allthe
ether crops are gathered in or laid aside. Our
friend, Rev. Benepi Stinson, of Perry to wnship
has this season raised q small quantity for seed,
which for che purpose Of introducing the cul-
