MISCELLANY.
FAIR
FAIR
OF the Walholla Agricultural Society, held on

VI lHc W sCOClcIN, HcLu on
the 10th and 18th Oct 1857.
The Fair was held Mt Mr. lIolcomhe's on
two consecutive days, Friday and Saturday.
\ considerable number of articles were sent
in on the first day, chiefly belonging to the
class of embroidery and domestic manufac-
turc and it would have been bctter, in many
respects if this practice had been generally
observed. We feel therefore, under especial
obligation to those who sent their articles on
Thursday.
The attendance was much larger than We
would have anticipated, the weather being
rather unpropitious
At the usual hour, the Society was called
to order, and after some business had been
attended to, tl,e laleswere 'nvitcl to favor
the Soccty With their presence in the Hall,
and Gen. +. y. Garyin, the orator of the day
was introduced to the meeting. After the
speaker had ended his very interesting dis
course, which we intend to publish next week
the society unanimously passed the following
resolutions.
RcSolccd, That the thanks of the Society
arc due to Gen. +. n. Gnryin for the inter
oSting address delivered OH the present occa-
sion.
RcsoIrcd, That committee Of three he ap-
nointcd by the chair to solicit the General to
give thc society Il copy of his speech for pub
LEGATION.
ResoIrcd, Tint these resolutions, as we'll
as the speech be published in the papers of
the district, and the Farmer and Planter at
Pcndlcton.
Having attended to some other business,
the Society adjourned to meet on Saturday
Il o'clock, \. NJ.
The next morning ushcrcd in q very love
ly day, and the attendance of both, visitors
and membcrs was very large A grcatnum-
bcr of articles nnlcr the ruhr;o of inanuiac-
lures were sent in, and it afforded us no slight
satisfaction to perceive that the ladies take n
deep interest in the Society, aud render us
most valuable assistance and encouragement
III promoting its object.
The committee report that from the many
beautiful articles of lady's work exhibited,
they have made their selections with tho ut
most difficulty and it is hoped, that in this,
as well as in the other cases the award Of the
committee will meet with an indulgcut con-
SideratOn from all the parties intcrcstcd.-
There arc many who checrfully bear tost-
mony to the neat execution, and superior fin
ish of cyorc article exhibited. All these spec
imcns bearing such ample evidence of the
skill, ingenuity and industry of their several
producers, our inability to confer premium
upon each of the competitors, is sincerely re-
GREETED. Hence we deem it our duty to name
the articles and their producers in this re-
port,
