The LouDouN AGRICULTURAL FAIR.--At a
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
L9udoun Agricultural Society, held in Lees
burg, on Tuesday last, it was decided to
change the dag of holding the Fair to the
2lst and Dad of September. The Commit
tee WAS induced TO make the change because
the Valley Fair at Winchester, and the State
Fair Of Maryland, had decided upon hold
ing their Fairs at the same time, and the
Circuit Court for the county OF LoudOun
meets at that time. These causes were suta-
cient to Induce the change. We hope our
fellow citizens vii! make the necessary e.
forts to get up Fair crediiable to this large
and wealthy county.

The Committee will please report at Sep
TENDER Court what amount has been raised,
aud as many as possible meet at Lcesburg to
take further steps 10 the matter.
AUGUST COURT was not as numerously at
tended as usual. We had, however, quite a
crowd. Our citizens have not yet become
accustomed to the change Of the Court day
from Monday to Tuesday. The county OF
Loudoun is a century old this year, and Gus
toms which have been prsctiscd for so long
a time are not to be broken in upon without
creating inconvenience and dissatisfaction
There was considerable business doac at this
Court--several Indicted, and a lumber Of
suits disposed Of.
The QUARTERLY MEETING Of the Society Of
Friends commences NJ the Goose Creek Mee!,
Ing House, on tomorrow, (Satu:day,) ard
will last for several days. They are very
largely ottcndcd.--LeeSJwy Wa'hinyton'en
