U. 3. FAIR Now that the excitement
of the Monroe obsequies have died away we take
this occasion to invite the attention of our readers
to the approaching Agricultural Fair to be held in
this city on the 26th of October next and to urge
them to set about preparing for it. Wherever the
United states Agricultural Society has held it's
Fair. thousands of strangers from all sections of
the Union have fiocked to it, and the exhibition has
always been grand and imposing. The fact that
its operations are Dational-that it's members are
scattered broad cast over the Union-and that its
liberal premiums are open to all who desire to
contend for them, have collected together such an
array of live stock, machinery, products of the
farm and dairy, specimens of art, new inventions
aud the handiwoTk of ladies. as have never been
| and never can be brought together BY any other
means In Eastern Virginia-the great stamping
ground Of the race horse-an array of blooded
stock can be made at this time such as was never
before witnessed in the Old Dominion, while from
| the Valley, and North and South Western portions
OF the State, horned cattle, sheep and swine that
will compare favorably with any other, may readi.
ly be brought to this great Union exhibition
What then is to prevent the entire success of the
approaching Fairl Nothing but inactivity and
want Of energy Let cur farmers and stock rails.
ers remember that the reputation of the State as
well as of Richmond is at stake in this Fair and let
every one determine to do his duty and thereby
ensure success. Those who attend this Fair can
| then visit the one at Petersburg the following
week, at triting cost.
HACK HIRE.-The late decision of the
Recorder has put flea in the ears of some of the
hackmen, who have heretofore been of the opinion
that they had right to charge what they pleased,
and could not be made to the public unless
their terms were complied with. The ordinance al
lows hackman % cents for carrying person from
one extremity of the corporation to the other,
and 81 for the first hour, and so cents for each
succeeding one, when the vehicle is engaged by the
hour. The Recorder has decided that no extra
charge can be demanded when the horses have to lie
hitched to the carriage aud hackman, when
called upon is compelled to answer the call, uuess
he show that his hack is engaged for some
other service Hackmen who have been in the
habit of ChargOg and two dollars for riding to
Rockets, or to Church Hill, may get themselves
into trouble by eXtortiOns before they knowit.
