Eleventh Aanual state Fair.

During Monday night fine shower Of
rain fell, and although the weather was
wet and lowering on Tuesday morning, BY
IL O. clock the clouds cleared away to . con-
siderable extent, and the remainder OF the
day was pleasant and agreeable. The rain
effectually laid the dust, which rendered
Monday 50 uncomfortable, and in every
respect the weather was all that could be
wished for, for the occasion.
A large number of strangers arrived in
the city yesterday from Ill parts OF the
country, and the trains and packets last
night came freighted with visitors to the
Fair. The hotels are rapidly filing mp,
and large numbers are finding accommo.
dations among the private families Of the
city. The efficient Committee on Recep.
tien will tske good care to provide places
for all visitors.
At an early hour yesterday morning th'
Fair Grounds presented very lively AND
animated appearance. The flags vavin,

We don't remember that any advantage,

from similar raids. A. TO any permanent
military advantage from such an armed
invasion, nothing Of that sort is possible.
The real result is to be determined else.

nobody else. Price has come North to
