Governor Wise. The subject. ''The Grand Ply

pa. State Agricultural Fair ir-Second Day The
grounds were thronged with visitors YESTERDAY
from "early morn to dewv eve'' All the avenues
OF fapproach were filed with an eager crowd press
ing for admttance, while at little distance might
be seen in the way Of carriages and other modes
OF conveyance, enough materials to fit out CON-
fortably several funeral trains of large dimensions
While all was hurly burly and confusion without
the multitude within were inspecting at will the
various objects Of interest, there congregated,
mixing In, making acquaintances renewing
pledges of amity, or enjoying themselves in 9TH
er sociable and rational ways.
To give some idea Of the number present, We
have ON reliable data that there there were not
les7 than 1900 persons around the Trut.ing
Course, while In the other parts of the grounds
scattered here and there, the number largely ex-
ceeded that sum. The number closely approx
mated 10000. By these figures 1t will be seen that
the fourth annual Exhibition of the Va. State Agri.
cultural Society 10 in the full tide of success The
exhibition this year. in respects fell behind
its predecessor; while in others and the most i'm.
portant articles 1t far exceeds all others previous
ly held
The ladies' have net been backward in coming
forward. They were there not in countless num-
bers. but yet in imposing array. Every style of
beauty had representative on the ground, and
such specimens of womankind as the Old Domin
ion only can raise. Lovely and beautiful they are
at all times, and to the Reporter not the least at
tractve feature of the exhibition. Having no de-
sire to immediate time and valuable space on the
altar of words, we conclude by assuring all who
have not gone, that they will find there much to
interest, instruct and amuse them.

MAYORS Court We are glad to announce that
the Mayor has had no cases to dispose Of during
the past two days The only regret we feel arises
from the reflection that the police have not been
able TO capture some of those rascaly pickpocke
now infesting the city. We hope they will keep \
sharp look out.
