IHE AGRICULTURAL FAlR.-The Fair
grounds we're thronged with visitors at an earlv
hour yesterday morning, and by midday the crowd
was immense. Those who are familiar with tbcse
matters think the number of visitors WAS about "a
great as last year. The hard times seem TO have
had but little effect upon the people of Virginia.
at least, the panic does not prevent their ANIMAL
reunion, which has been productive of such bene-
fetal results heretofore. Throughout the lav the
grounds presented scene of excitement hut there
was 40 disorder or tumult of any kind. The
wea her was pleasant and thousands of ladies avail
ed themselves OF the opportunity TO visit the Fair.
There were many spirited trials of speed Oh the
horse track, and the space surrounding the eiico-
sure was5deEsely crowded with spectators
This sport will constitute one of the leading at
fractions to-day. The visit of the fire compauies
about O'Clock, added materially to the pleasures
of the occasion.
This morning. the grounds will be opened ut the
usual hour, and As the programme of proceedings
includes several matters of interest, we anticipate
large assembage. The ploughng match COM
mences at 10 o'clock.
The annual address before the Society will be
delivered in the African Church, this evening, at
half past o'clock, by Hon. A. K. Ilolladay

A PLACE Foa THE STRONG
srlNpEp."-A modern traveller tells
us that the Jewesses in Thessaloni-
ca, European Turkey,) reverse
our accepted laws of Hymen, by
purchasing their husbands. The
modus operandi is thus described:
Brokers are employed to nego-
tiate marriages. The father Of a
manageable girl goes to broker,
and inquiries what bridegrooms there
are in the market. He chooses
one, higher or lower in the social
scale, according to the dover he
scanA afford his daughter, the price he
canspay, and makes an offer of SO
much dover. The bridegroom,
through the broker demands more;
they chatter and bargain for weeks,
perhaps, aud a bargain is struck
The parties nersr see each other
till married. The dover is the
wife's only security against divorce.
The husband can divorce her when
he chooses, but he must pay back
the dover, that the may be able to
buy another husband. Mrs. D. was
telling Jewess girl that we do not
require any dowry in America
SHOW then,'' said she, in utter as
constituent, edo you do when he
wants to divorce you?"
