Our County Fair.

Next week, the Vanderburg Agricultural
Association will hold the second annual Coun-
ty Fair. The book for intries, is now at Mr..
Hornbrook's, and it is desirable that exhibitors
should enter their articles as soon as possible.
Everything has been done by the managers to
secure a crowd, and we are assured that the
crowd will be there. G. eve ybody. If you
have anything worthy of exhibition, take it
with you. If you have nothing, go, to see
what Vanderbur5 can do, in the way Of Fair.
The COLLECTION may not be very large, in COM
parison with old established Fairs, but it is our
Fair and that is sufficient reason to induce
every man to 60, and take with him, all he can.
Mr.. Hornbrook is laboring zealously to COM
plete all the arrangements, and we know that he
will do all in his power to accommodate ex-
hibitors, and secure crowd.
1t is important to the citizens of this coun
ty that this enterprise should succeed and to
insure this desirable end, every man and
woman in the county should contribute their
mite to the exhibition.
The society has decided that each exhibit
tor by the payment Of one dollar and the en-
try free (Which is 10 per cent on the premium
offered) shall have Badge presented to them
which will enable them to enter the Fair
grounds during the Fair; in other words the
Society offers a premium to exhibitors. All
those who reflect on this subject will agree
with US that the prosperity of our Farmers,
Merchants, Artizans, and Horticulturists de-
pend much on the success of this our first eff
fort
The farmer will by making an exhibition of
the products of his farm, be able to show his
CO. workers what can be done by his mode Of
culture and breeding. The mechanic can show
the pI oduct of his hands. The artisan the
result of his labors; the Horticulturist the
product of his labors of mind and hands, hence
all can advertise; all can confer one with an
other on the subjects before them, thereby
giving much useful information. Besides it will
be the means of bringing the Pocket into no.

the county come up and become members of
this Society, and by this means place IN it's
hands the means TO purchase the premiums
offered.

TREAsoN-Gov Wise the notorious Cover
nor of Virginia is endeavoring with the aid of
that delectable sheet. "The Richmond En-
quirer'' to convict Mr.. Bolts of treason. The
Baltimore Patriot with its usual manIiness de-

I the Old Line Governor, which tells. Speaking
of Mr.. B. the Patriot says:
Mr.. Bolts IS noble specman of true Vir-
ginia chiYalry. He dares to speak the truth
fearlessly. He is perfectly capable of guarding
his own head and Of returning the blows Of
his adversaries with compound interest. The
batteries Of the Enquirer failing to place him
