no! FOR THE ''FHLR".-Some Of the
eoterprisng citizens Of our town are agiialng
the subject Of holding "Fair" during the com
inc month. There is nothing which developes
the "Iat~nt energies" ola community more than
the generous rivalry occasioned BY an exhibi-
toa of their industrial tfoPhirs. The peaceful
emulation insigated BY Fairs brings about
one half Of the reforms made in Agriculture,
Horticulture, &c.,&c. Therefore, we say, let this
matter be encouraged. Let every one who feels
favorable othe progressive spirit Of our country,
interest himself in the project and he will be
amply repaid for bis trouble. We are inform
ed the tine for holding the Fair, will be the
