The AGRICULTURAL FAIR.--0n Thursday
next the 18Th inst. the Montgomery County
Agricultural Society will hold its Fourteenth
Annual Exhibition.
The people of Montgomery and the adjoin-
ing counties, of Maryland and of the Dis
trict of Columbia manifest an increased in
terest in the prosperity and success of the
Society, at each succeeding exhibition.
The approaching Fair, weare pleased to say
promises unusual attractions; and we doubt
not will far excel any former exhibition in
the quality and variety of domestic manu-
features, in the richness and abundance OF
the products of the garden and the dairy and
in the beauty and superiority of the horses,
cattle and indeed all kinds of live stock,
Mr.. Bartholow, the energetic and enterpri-
sing gentleman-proprietor of an Agricultu-
raj Warehouse in Washington City, has erect
ed upon the Fair Grounds neat and commo-
dious building, for the display of large and
varied collection of the latest and most inn
proved Agricultural Implements.
The driving circle, has been put in tip-top
condition, and we doubt not as on former oc-
casions, will be the great centre of attraction;
we know of great many young horses re-
markable for their beauty and style, and
great speed, that are being trained for exhi.
bition.
Our Hotel keepers, are making elegant and
ample preparations, for the accommodation O
the thousands, who will visit Rockville OF
the occasion, and our hospitable and gcnerou.
hearted citizens, will be rejoced to entertain
their friends and acquaintance during the
several days of the Fair.
We hear from every portion of our county
that great numbers are coming; indeed w
expect it will be the largest concourse of PEG
pie ever assembled in the county we extend
a cordial welcome to all.

Mn. DOUGLAS oS THE SruMp.-The receptions
of Mr.. Douglas in Virginia are managed by
the supporters of Bell, his audiences are
made up from the same sources, and the APP
plause which greets him is from opposition
mouths
They applaud him because he is doing his
best to destroy the democratic party Such
applause is to the shame and disgrace, and
not to the honor of him who receives il, and
Mr.. Douglas should blush, instead of feeling
eomplimented, when Virginia know-nothing-
ism losses up its cap for himi
The know-nothing organs in Virginia wit
ness the progress of Mr.. Douglas with delight
which they do not attempt to conceal. They
know that he is, in effect, stumping the State
for them, and they believe that he can do
them more service than all their own orators.
They uphold him, they praise him, they mag
nifty all the favors he receives, in order to ex-
aggerate his strength. They are right, for he
is truly laboring in their cause. But while
know-nothings thus rejoice, the true democra-
cy can only feel grief and Indignation at the
treason which thus fourshes in their sight.
AWFUL HUMAN SACRIFICE. following is
extracted from the West African Herald of
the 18th of July; T" His Majesty Badahung,
King of Dahomey, is about to make the Grand
Custom in honor Of the late King Geo.
Determined to surpass all former monarchs in
the magnitude Of his ceremonies 10 be per-
formed on this occasion, Badahung has made
the most extensive preparations for the cele-
bration Of the Grand Custom. A great pit
has been dug, which is to contain human blood
enough TO float canoe. Two thousand per-
sons will be sacrificed on this occasion. The
expedition to Abeakouta is postponed, but
the king has sent his army to make some ex-
cursions at the expense of some weaker tribes
and has succeeded in capturing many unfor-
tunate creatures. The young people among
these prisoners will be sold into slavery, and
the old persons will be killed at the Grand
Custom"
Wouldn't it be "pious notion " for the
great European Powers TO examine into this
81 Grand Custom little, as well as into
Syrian affairs.
