THE STATE AGRICULTURAL, FAIR,

We were exceedingly gratiticd with our
visit to the Agricultural Fair, held in Co.
lumbia OH the l1th, 18th, l3tl, and l4tl,.
The fair grounds WIS generous donation
10y the city Of Columbia to the Society
They have, during the last summer, been
improved much in appearance by the crec-
ton of suitable buildings, chiefly, we be-
licvc, under the direction Of the energetic
Secretary of the Society, Col. A. G. SUM-
NEH. The first building that cxcitcs atten-
ton on approaching the fair grounds, is a
conveniently arranged ticket Office for
ticket venders, clerks, &c. Upon entering
the grounds, we notice on the right, large
slngle-storicd building, with porch in front,
well COMFORTING with the size of the main
body of the house, in which tables, &C., arc
fitted up for the purpose Of exhibiting field
crops, dc.
Near the centre is the main hall, un-
surpassed for convenience and architectural
design. This is designed for the ladies' dc.
Par'mcnt. The thousand things consisting
OF every variety Of embroidery, painting,
penciing, patch and wax works, rendered
this, more especially to the fair sex and the
lovers Of the Fair, the centre of attrac.
ton.
In tho west corner Of the grounds, We
lind building with steam engine and
shatt'ng to run machinery Of all kinds
Tie grounds and buildings are admirably
adapted TO the purposes for which they are
intended.
We could not undertake to enumerate
the various specimens Of art, the blootled
horses, sheep, cattle, gonts aud hogs, impor-
ted and native, DC. Suffice it to say. tl,at
everything useful or ornamental, had a
place in the picture,
1t would be expecting too much, TINT it
should have given universal satisfaction.
ct We are confident that the exhibition
being the first in the State, and gotten up
by a Society which,, not more than eighteen
months since, sprung into existence-fuliv
eq""lIed the expectations of those who
witnessed it. No man can minple with
A's fellow man, reap tho benefits Of a social
