THE Crrr OF WHEELING AND TuE STATE AsEI.
CULTURAL SocIETr-At the last meeting of tho
Executive Commute Of the State Agricultural
Society, the subcommittee to make arrange.
ments for the location of the fair this year, sub
mitted tho following report:
In reply to the publication OF tho resolution
of the Executive Committee. asking proposals
from every city in Virginia to which the holding
of the Fair might be suitable or desirable, and
also 10 particular communications addressed to
several Of the towns deemed most likely to act,
wG have heard from the cities Of Wheeling,
Petersburg, Norfolk aud Alexandra, and have
received actual proposals from the two former
of these only. On the part OF Wheeling, the
terms offered were most liberal, and as much
AS could have been desired for the State Ag-
Iicultural Society. But several serious ohjoc-
tions. including the remote position and diff
cult access to Wheeling for nearly all the ac'
tual members c.f the Society. and still more,
the impropriety of the session Of the Farmers
Assembly being thus far removed, without the
previous and distinct understanding and author
ity of that body, compelled us to decline the
offer Of the citizens of Wheeling. This offer
was Of the grounds aud other accommodations
necessary for holding the Fair, and general
meeting Of the Society, and guarantee for
the repayment Of all other pscuniary sxpenScs
that might be incurred by the Society for tho
purpose, mot exceeding the limit OF $4,000.
The terms agreed to. and upon which con
tract has been executed, are these:
The Executive Committee of the Union Agri-
tural Society Of Virginia and North Carolina,
acting in its own behalf, and, also, for the city
aud people Of Petersburg, will furnish to US the
ample and excellent Fair Grounds Of the Society,
and all needed buildings and accommodations in
good repair, and assumes all the expenses ne.
crssary for and incident TO the Fair and general
meeting of the Society, except that in regard to
the payment Of premiums, the additional amount
to be furnished is to be sufficient TO pay all the
premiums awarded; provided the aggregate Of
the Awards shall not exceed four thousand dol.
lars The terms agreed upon are substantially
these: That the city or community having the
benefits Of the Fair, will pay for these benefits
all OF the expenses Of the Fair, including the
premiums awarded; thereby saving to the Nir-
ginia State Agricultural Society, an annual out
Law for this purpose Of some six thousand dollars
which has been for the past two years the
average amount expended in conducting the
Fair. over and above the receipts Of the gate
and Of rents In this arrangement the Virginia
State Agricultural Society retains the ecntribu.
lions from its own members, and they are TO
have the same privilege Of free adnittanee into

SExAToR1AL DIGxITT.-The Pittsburgh Ga.
ate thinks that iii no wonder that Gen. Sam
Houston should complain ofthc want of dignity
in the United States Senate, when the manners
of some of the Senators out doors are cOnsid-
cred.
They have municipal election on hand in
Washington City, and Congress being in scs.
sion, the democratic voters of the Metropolis,
are drawing on the members of that body for
oratorical aid The leading idea seems to have
been to enlist the weakest of the Congressional
force in behalf of the struggling metropOlitans,
and from the list of speakers who figured at the
recent meeting, we are inclined to think they
were successful in an eminent degree.
Senator Brown, on that occasion, delivered
himself of speech, tine dieniRed bearing of
which, may be inferred from the following ex-
tract:
ain the approaching municipal election two
candidates we're before them. They might have
three, four, tive-he knew not how many; but
this he knew, that Jim Berret' was good enough
for him. Loud applause 1t was said that
Colonel Berret was stranger in this city, but
he had drunk whisky with him in this town
nineteen years ago; and it would be nineteen
years next December since Colonel Berret and
lie went counting together in Washington II

THE MoUSDsvn.LE Accommodating the
session Of the Scientific Convention at Balti-
more, for the last week or so, many important
matters of science and art have been considered.
We notice, among other things, that the curious
relics down about Grave Greek came up for re-
port We read that
DR.. Willis de lass read paper on the An
tiquitics at Grave Creck-Inscrihed Stone
Explorations at the West. He said that Grave
Creek was on tho Ohio river, in Western Vir.
ginia, where we're evidences Of the existence OF
a now extinct race. There were remains found,
and there were mounds representing grdves,
the principal of which is very large. In 1885 n
white oak tree was cut from the apex of the
mound, which represented more than five hum
dred centrifugal circles. The owner of the
property caused the mound to be excavated,
when chamber to IL feet in size was found
Its supports were stone. There was subse-
ouently another chamber found, in which two
human skeletons, u quantity of heads, and other
things, were discovered. In another chamber
was found another skeleton with heads. fine
copper wristlctS, and tablet of stone. Here
shown the ASsOciationl This stone was in
scribed with three lines Of alphabetical charac-
tiers, with large character below representing
signature. The characters number twenty
four. The characters the tablet were SINH
lar to several OF the early Mediterranean alpha
bets, but bearing more striking resemblance
to the Phencian. There yet two other
wants to be explored, when it is TO be hoped
that other discoveries may be made.
