El5- Among the numerous other attrac-
tons that will be seen at the Fair Grounds,
we understand that the city authorities have
determined on placing the steam fire engine
on exhibition on the grounds, and have it
do all its squirting" out there. To many
people in the county who never witnessed
the performances of fire engine of any de-
scription, this will add unusual interest to
the Fair. Few Of our own towns-people,
we judge, have ever seen steam fire engine,
and they will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to examine the great "skwert," in
case the city authorities should conclude
not to buy them.

WHEAT.-The price of good white wheat
in our city has once more advanced to ONE
DOLLAR per bushel. What is little strange
our millers complain that the rise in the
price seems to have a tendency to make the
farmers hold on to their wheat rather than
SELL Every man must, of course, be his
own judge, but our opinion is, that the far
mer who gets dollar bushel for his wheat
will sell about at the top of the market.
