part, for appearing again before your readers.
Fairs elsewhere are on the tapis--improve-
ments are being made, handbils are out, and
public attention is gradually centering upon
the points at which they they are to be held;
their facilities cf transportation, accommoda
tions &c. This is particularly the case as re-

at Marysville would not injure the other but
add, perhaps, to its interest, yet few weeks
delay may be fatal to any attempt in behalf
of the latter People will make up their
minds that ours is an opposition institution,
unless it is early organized upon permanent
basis and its Fairs so arranged as not to con-
flict with those Of the State or neighboring
societies.
Another reason for early action is that the
people who have fine stock wish to have
abundant time to put them in good order,
which they will take the more trouble to do
when tn ere are two chances to take pre-
miums instead of one. And the society. if
organized permanently, would wish to make
substantial Improvements. or so prepare those
already made as to make them more conven
lent. Artists, mechanics. manufacturers, &c,
would all equre liberal share of time to
prepare their wares for exhibition. while
agents of the thousand and one agricultural
implements now made, would require some
time to order the best from their favorite
tablishments.
These, of course, are but few of the null
titude of reasons which might be added to
hasten an immediate organization of an Agri-
cultural Society. The fact of its existence
would inspire confidence and create an in

advertisement of its objects and the notoriety
thus gained, would he sufficient reason for

cultural Society as the best mode of organiza-

euchre the people, as he abundaLtly proves
by his own revelations. But, many agrcul
turists will doubtless side with me in tie
opinion that a joint stock company can act
and manage Fair more efficiently than an
Agricultural Society, acting for the people,
and can have nobody to shave but themselves.
And but few will doubt that such companies
have been formed, consisting principally of
capitalists. and that they have appointed
such committees or judges of stock and i'm
plements they thought best, and not only
offered a liberal list of premiums, but have
made money out of the Legitimate receipts of
their Fairs, after paying all expenses incurred,
As an instance, witness the Mississippi Val
ley Agricultural Association. They have not
only paid out of their receipts very heavy
premium lists and Sl36, 900 for grounds and
improvem ents, but declare larger dividends
than any company, perhaps, in the States,
and their stock cannot be purchased except
at an eXtravagant premium. The advanta-
ges they have conferred upon St. Louis are
incaculable, and like association in Marys
willie might have equal success. CARL"

from it Judge Sherrard could not have
done otherwise, after the finding of the jury,

elsewhere. c.
