EXHIBITION


the Fair Grounds near this place, on
Thursday and Friday Of last week, was
the most satisfactory and successful that
they have ever had; the weather was
delightful, and the great crowd Of per-
sons enjoyed the occasion beyond mea-
sure. Our visitors from distance who
had never attended previous exhibition,
expressed their surprise and admiration
at the great natural beauty Of the Fair
Grounds, and the enterprising spirit
manifested by our farmers and the zeal
Gus gentlemen Of the committee Of ar
engagements for their industry and taste,
