SHELBY COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
FIFTH ANSUAL NEETING-sEcoSD DAY.
Again, yesterday, the srtizan and the hus-
bandmsn met together at the grounds Of the
Shelby county agricultural society, to compare
notes in their march Of improvement, and
learn from each other those lessons Of wisdom
which are taught in experimental effort at
bsnehtting and improving the departments Of
mechanics and agriculture nor was the labor
o. the artist wanting in interesting display.
Yesterday opened with a cloudy sky and
slight indications OF rain, but about 9 O'Clock
The clouds disappeared, and everything gave
premise Of a beautiful day, which wac lily
realized. Al an sarly hour every means Of
transportation 70 the grounds was employed in
conveying the loads Of living freight to a means
Of spending al interesting and profitable day.
OmHibussss, carriages, buggiss and the ohio
railroad were called into requIsition by the
eager crowds who throngsd our streets, and
who were loud in their inquiries for a means
to reach the fair grounds. Tas Memphis and
Ohio railroad have committed the oversight Of
bot scqusinting the public with the time and
order Of the running OF their trains, and many
persons we're at a loss to obtain the desired
i~nfornation.
On rssehiing the grounds about g O'Clock
We found the people pouring in At he prinei-
pal gate, ami on the inside crowds gathered
at different points discussing the merits Of the
various articles on exhibition, while every face
wore a emile Of animation, and every voice
was pitched to the tone Of pleasure.
Through the moving field Of human forms
We passed on 10 The agricultural department,
which we found materially enhanced in In
tsrest. Orgill, Brothers Il Co. have on sE-
hibition a large number OF interesting articles
in the line Of agricultural implements, among
which We may mention Cummings patent
stalk and straw cutting machine, and Krsu-
ssr's patent cider press, both Of which possess
merits, and are manufactured BY
Garter & Buchanan, OF Louisville, Kentucky.

ersl premiums, and are well worthy OF
attention. Msssrs. O., B.& Co. have also on
