cided to hold Fair, at Marysville, COM
mencing on the Both day Of August next
and ending on the 3rd of September, and
the Board of Trustees invite prompt and ge-
neral cooperation to make the first Fair of
the society a success. They have published
a premium list, which embraces everything
under the head of farms, orchards and vine
yards, field crops, vegetable manufactures,
cured meats and fish, cured fruits, native
wines and malt liquors, fruit, flowers and
vegetables, agricultural and mining imple-
ments, miscellaneous manufactures aud in
ventions, works of art, mining products,
and meteorological and geological specimens.
A cattle show will be held very near the Fair
grounds and plowing match will come off,
premiums being offered in each. We are
glad to observe that no premiums will be
the board of trustees say they will be hap
Ply to see such articles on exhibition and
award diplomas for the same to the importer
or exhibitor. All regular premiums will be
announced and delivered to their respective

These are the fullest particulars we can
afford space for They will satisfy the gen.
eral reader, and those who desire fuller in
formation obtain the premium list and
rules at length by addressing CHAs. NJ. Cor
HAM, Secretary A. H. and NJ Society of the
Northern District of California; at Marys-
vile. This society should be effectively sup
ported by the agriculturSts, miners and me-
chanics of the northern counties. They
should have at the Fair a more complete ex-
hibition of representative articles than was
ever collected in the State before. We hope
that the mining counties, particularly, will
take pride in showing what they can do.
not only in the way of gold producing, but
in the orchard, the garden and the vine
yard. A demonstration that the mining
counties are adding to the permanent wealth
and welfare of the State, that they are not
populated by vagabonds but that fixed homes
are springing up thickly among the pine-clad
hills, will be alike gratifying and valuable.
The interests of the two classes of counties
are diverse but not inimical; a complete re-
presentation of each side by side, would
show mutual dependence and prove the ne
cessity for harmonious cooperation. The
gold fields, vineyards, orchards and gardens
of the mountains should claim affinity with
the grain fields and farms of the valleys;
and this Fair will give them the best oppor-
tunity to do so. Marysville has proved her
capacity to get up successful industrial ex-
hibition-let US aid her heartily in the one
under consideration.
