1.-THE charges for entering articles at the
Fair will be the same as heretofore.
No Premium Will be given on any article not
embraced in the list, and it viii be expected of
the Judges, in all cases, even where there is com
petition, to withhold the premium when the ar
ticle or animal is not considered worthy.
All manufactured articles must be exhibited in
the name of the maker, and no premiums will be
allowed when it ia discovered that such is not the
ease, nor will any article be allowed to be exhib-
tied unless manufactured within the State of Mis-
sissipp.
The secretary will be on the Fair grounds on
the 18th October, the day preceding the first ex-
hibition day, for the purpose OF receiving entries,
and il is hoped that those who can will make
their entries on that day, as to avoid confusion
while the exhibition is going on.
The Executive Committee indulge the hope
that all those who have been designated as Judg-
es NAV find it convenient to attend and serve
but if any should be unwilling or unable to do So
they will please notify the President as early as
practicable, that Others may be appointed in their
stead.
The several Committees of Judges will please
signify their acceptance by reporting themselves
at the Presidents stand each morning ON which
they are expected to act.
The exhibition will commence at O'Clock, A.

Perhaps one of the greatest evils of the
present age, is its fastness. The past is
thrown into the shade by the evolutions
of the present. The Hebrews had no
present tense in their language, but we
have no present fine. Our watchword
is always the futtrs-ths future! As for
time, we take no note of il. Occasional

there was nothing new under the sun

A DoNKEy AMONG THE BEEs.-A
laughable occurrence took place a day or
two since upon a farm in the outskirts of
the city, in which q donkey occupied a
a very prominent part, and showed him.
self to be q far less intelligent animal
than the one ave read of" who, when
penned up in the farm yard with the
chickens, remarked, as he trod them I'M

God for us all"
This modern donkey, being penned up
in a yard, under circumstances quite sim.

took the more dangerous experiment Of
treadlng on the bees; SO he thrust his
ugly nose against the hives, and made a
determined onset upon the whole row,
as if each individual hive was a trough of
meal. Not relishIng such familiarity
with their domestic arrangements, the bees
rushed out in swarms and commenced
their assaults upon him in such u savage
n as made the poor beast think he
must leave in a hurry, which he accord
ingly did. But the bees, not content with
acting merely on the defensive, seemed
determined to punish him for his
ity, and give him a lesson which should
last him through life. Literally covering
his whole body, they stung him on his
nose, they stung him in his ears, they
stung him in his eyes. Upon his back,
and upon his belly, upon his neck, and
upon his legs, they fastened themselves
by hundreds and thousands, aud wher-
ever a sting could penetrate, the poor
donkey had TO take it.
Frantic with rage and pain, the animal
brayed and beloved, and ran, and Jump
ed, and dashed his sides with his tail ;
and finally, as if in utter despair of get
ting rid of his assailants, he threw him.
self upon the ground and rolled over and
over in an agony of pain. Finding this
to be Of little use, and that his aSsailants
seemed TO multiply rather than diminish,
the poor donkey picked himself up again,
and seeing the kitchen door open, with
ears and tail erect, and eyes gIistening
with tears and terror, he made a rush in
10 the house. Thi,her the bees followed
him and such a scene as then enSued
has seldom been enacted. In vain the
donkey rolled upon the hoor-in VAN he
jumped over the cook-stove, overturned
the chairs, and upset the table, the bees had
not done with him yet, and it was not un.

noise, had worked vigorously for some
minutes, with napkins and busting brush.
