Ohio state Fair.

The State Board having expressed deter
mination TO concede the next State Fair to this
part Of the State, large number Of our citizens
met at the Phillips House yesterday afternoon
to take initiatory steps to secure it for Dayton.
Thomas Brown, Esq, was called to the Chair
and s. Craighead, Esq, appointed Secretary.
Short addresses were made by several gentle
men, each endeavoring 10 impress upon the
meeting the feasibility Of obtaining the Fair,
by the exercise Of proper exertion and liberalty,
and by showing the importance Of such amove
10 tho city and vicinity, About $4,000 was
necessary to secure the object
A committee, consisting Of the following
gentlemen, was then appointed to assess the
Railroads; r W Steele, w P Huffman, ? P
Lowe, Phillips aud A Phillips.
II was believed that about $4,000 could be
readily raised by our citizens, which, together
with what might be obtained from interested
parties, would probably secure to US the loca-
tlon Of the Fair
On motion Of r W Steele, committee was
appointed to solicit subscriptions from the
citizens, to make up the amount required
s5 900, toSwit: Messrs. r W Steele, r ellis
and T A Phillips were appointed said cOmN
mittee.
The meeting then adjourned to meet al the
Phillips House on Monday next, at half-past
one o'clock, Pm
The State Board, at their late meeting, deci-
ded that the iiinerant system Of the State Fair
was not the best one TO advance the agrcu llural,
mecban ical and industrial interests of the
State, because the plan had not been made to
pay; and the members recommended perma-
nent location. If we can secure the next Fair,
and give general satisfaction, we feel confident
that, from our accessible position, taken with
other attractions, we will be able to secure the
permanent location here Let the effort TO sen
cure the Fair be made at once, aud we hope
our business men, and our citizens generally,
will subscribe literally to accomplish so great
and direct good to the city and county.
The committee will at once call upon our
citizens--give with liberal hand, and with
the assurance that such Investment will return
an hundred fold.

SLEaHISe AND PIToHINa IS.-Some neighN
boring ladies on Third street, few evenings
since, took it into their heads, as their lords
did not invite them, to get up little sleighing
party Of their own. The children's sleigh was
brought out--one pulled and another rode,
whilst third pushed, They had quite
merry time of it running up and down the
pavement, but were observed by gentleman,
who proffered his assistance as the "rear horse
This was reluctantly accepted, and he "laid
himself down TO the work, and event it blind"
as fast as he could push forward. His speed
was too fast for the lady leader who guided the
tongue, and she was forced to let it go. The
lady ia ths sleigh ie!cS!yJ observed a deep
ditch ahead, and, as she was at sea without a
rudder, she jumped out. This was not observed
by the gentleman in the rear, and his moment.

was not stopped until he pitched headforemost
into the ditch, leaving but a small portion Of
his pedal extremities in view and dangling In
the airl His sorry plight caused the ladies to
scream with laughter, and as he was a stranger,
who had impertinentlY inteTfered with their
enjoyment, they left him standing ou his head
in the ditch aud retreated to their homosl Who
he was, how he got out, whether he got out at
all or not, remains a mysteryl

The California silver Discoveries.

The silver discoveries in California prom-
ise to be of far more importance than the
discovery of gold in l84S, inasmuch as the
product Of the lighter metal will now be
more abundant, and its comparative appre'
citation in value growing out Of relative
scarcity, will cease, thus removing the app
prehension of troublesome change which
has given so much uneasiness to political
economists. The samples of silver bearing
quartz, fully justify the reports just pub
lished The ore is worth IN its richest do'
velopment about $4,000 per ton, and the field
of discovery appears to be solid mine of
this wealth thirty miles in length. How
will that school of political economists who
insist on keeping oil the precious metals in
the country, have this vast bed of silver dis
posed of ? if the country is impoverished to
the extent of its exchange for the product
of labor abroad, we had better not waste
labor in producing it.

GJ- We have noticed that the Stewards Of
Churches are almost invariably in too great
haste when taking up collections in the con-
gregatons previous to service. One who is
not posted on these collections would infer that
they were ashamed of the practice, and were
ever.in haste to get through with it, A great deal
is lost by this unseemly haste. We noticed
case recently when at least twenty five cents
were lost to the contribution basket by the
collection merely making passe at the gentleS
man who sat in one pew, and passed on with
out so much as waiting to see If any one exhib
tied any signs of giving. AS it was, one ven
turous chap, sitting at the end Of the pew,
tried to get the attention Of the Steward, and
and failing in this, shied a dime at the bas-
ket. The coin just missed the mark, rolled
among lot Of s. s. children who scrabbled
for it, and made so much noise that they dis-
concerted the pious people for several pews
