gay- We have received pamphlet copy Of the

The next Ohio State Fair. We regret that the
managers have failed, in their appointment Of
committees, &c, to remember Wood county,
We have one of the most flourishing county So
ceties in the State, and no county can produce
more intelligent farmers than are to be found in
Wood. Neither is there county id the State
where so much money and labor has been ex-
pended for agricultural purposes, during the past
three years, as in Wood. And no county in
Ohio pos esses soil more inviting to the scien-
tfc or money making agriculturist than Wood.
Why, then, has this county been entirely over
looked by those having the management of the
coming State Fair? When we get a Lieutenant
Governor, State Treasurer, Senator, and reelect
our worthy Representative, perhaps this Board
of Managers will find out that there is such a
place as Wood county in Ohio!

A Good Arrangement,

For sometime past, we have been constantly
annoyed by the repeated failures aud inrxcusa-
bic delays OF the Eastern mail. Either the agent
on the cars or the Maumee mail agents. have
managed TO Gefraud us Of our just rights until
forbearuncn ceased TO be a virtue, and our excel
lent Post Master at once made arrangements
with Capt. Hall, of the SloD, who will on and
after this date, carry the mail between this
place and Toledo. The mail will leave for To.
ledo at o'clock, A. NJ, and arrive at IL M
regularly. The entire community unite with us In
thanking Mr.. Powers for this excellent arrange
ment, and Major Lawrence for allowing Ills con.
tract to be suspended until the close of naviga
tion. Capt. Hall carrys the mail more for the
accommodation Of the public than for the pay
received, as that is merely nominal. BY this
arrangement we will get our Eastern mail one
day earlier than heretofore.
