AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-The Sixth Annual Fair
of the El Dorado County Agricultural Society
will be held in CSloma next week, commencing
on Tuesday aud ending on Friday, at which
time Judge Brockway, gentleman Of cultiva-
ted intellect, will deliver the annual address,
That it will be polished production we enter
tain no doubt. The Fair deserves and should
receive the encouragement of every individual
interested in the welfare of our county. 1t isa
worthy and permanently established institu-
ton, dependent upon the citizens Of the coun-
~ for support; and we belive it is the only
county society in the State that has stood the
pressure Of the times and made arrangements
for its annual Fair. Beneficial results have
arisen from it, and fproperly kept up it must
prove of incalculabls advantage to the Agricul-
tural, Horticultural and Mechanical interests of
our county. It offers nne list Of premiums,
worth contending for. Itpromises to be fine
exhibition CT the stock, fruits. grains, vegeta-
bles, 1owers, liquors, works Of arr, rt,agricultural
and mining implements, ETC., Of Ell Dorado
We hope that it will be we'll attended, and that
its membership will be largely increased. The
citizens of Coloma, whose hospitality is proven
bial, and the Committee of Arrangements, will
take pleasure in accommodating exhibitors and
adding to the enjoyment Of visitors. A Grand
Ball will close the Fair on Friday night.
ARE You IxsrRED?-The late rain has n ot
made it impossible that property should be
destroyed by 6re,and in such an event it would
by very comfortable to have a claim on some
association of rich capitalists for lndemuifca-
tinn Of loss, and that, too, in gold coin. The
Pacific Insurance Company is such an assocla-
tion, as rich as Cresus and the very essence Of
promptness in liquidstiag their liabilities. If
you are not already insured. T. c. Nugent, Esq.
agent of this company, will take great pleasure
in surveying your premises and procuring

strong position, which might easily have been
held against vastly superior force. The en-
envy, after firing round or two and seeing
determination to take the place, evacuated it
and retreated to the woods. Our loss was
about twenty five. We took about fifty pris-
oners, mostly belonging TO Breckinridge's
command, some of whom said they were In
the valley In the fight with Sigel, but did not
have to fight as stubbornly as they did here

fell back in terrible disorder. and left their
