The STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-The prepara-
tions which have been zealously pushed forward
for the last two weeks for holding the State Agri-
cultural Fair, nearl Y completed, and by Tues
day next will be perfected. Over twelve hundred
and fifty dollars have been expended under the di-
rection of the President, John Merryman, Esq, in
the erection of stalls, preparation OF track and
other necessary accommodations. Mr.. Merryman,
and in fact all the officers of the Society, have been
more than usually active in their efforts to ensure
great success the Fair and there is doubt that
they will be rewarded for their labors by having the
most effective exhibition in all the departments,
which has ever taken place in this State. With but
few exceptions the stalls are all taken, and the
space assigned for the machinery and agricultural
departments has been secured by depositors The
exhibition will commence on Tuesday next, and con-
tinue for four days. There will no doubt be large
attendance of strangers in the city. Besides the at
traction of the exhibition itself, next week will be
one Of great activity in political circles. 1t Is the
week preceding the election, and each OF the poll
tica parties will have grand rally on some night
during the week in Monument Square.
The American Bell and Everett party have select
ed Thursday night for their meeting; the Douglas
Democracy Friday night, and it is understood that
the Breckenridge and Lane demonstration will take
place on Wednesday night. Each of these will no
doubt be mammoth meetings, and the citizens OF
the counties visiting the city during the week will
have an opportunity OF witnessing the strength OF
the respective parties.
