THE STATE FAIR.
The State Fair opens on Tuesday next,
Sept. 18th, in this place. and continues four
days. The grounds north Of the village are,
of course the same as last year, and the In
ternal arrangement Of them is also in the
main, the same. Floral Hall has, however,
been heightened some twenty feet, and a
long row Of sheds has been added on the
south side of Mechanics Hall, for the pro
lection. W. suppose, Of the vehicles and
agricultural implements, q portion of which
last year were exposed without shelter. The
buildings, stalls for cattle and stock, ele-
waited seats &c, have been placed in
thorough order. The track has become
consolidated and is in better order than ever
before, and the arrangements generally APP
pear to b. exc edinsly convenient and suit
able. There Is every prospect ola most ex-
tensive and attractive exhibition, and Of a
very large attendance.
The great attraction, outside Of the espe-
cial objects Of the exhibition, will be the
speech by Governor BANGS, Of Massachu-
sets on Thursday. The men are few, to
see and hear whom Vermonters would %
farther, or in greater numbers. The man
whose election as speaker, demonstrated that
there was a North" in Cong ess, and who
ruled with steady hand and iron will, the
turbulent thirty fourth Congress,-the po-
pular Governor Of the Old Bay State-the
self made man, will not want q full and
sympathetic audience, whatever be his
theme.
