mencing February %, 1861, and
Continuing for Two Weeks,

The noble work of providing for sick and wound
ed soldiers, is still being carried on with commend
able zeal. The various Sanitary Fairs which
have already been held throughout the country,
have met with such success and been productive Of
so much good to the sick and wounded Of our army,
that arrangements have been made for holding a
Fair at Cleveland, commencing on the 22d inst and
continuing two weeks. From the circulars Of the
different Committees, we make the following cx-
tracts:
The Northern Ohio Sanitary Fair will open at
Cleveland on February 22d, with Grand Military
and Patriotic Display aud Procession, and will CON
tinue two weeks the proceeds Of which will be do
mated to the Soldiers Aid Society of Northern Ohio
for the benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers.
The Committee to which is assigned the duty ot
providing suitable halls for the different depart
mcnts OF the Fair have decided to erect upon the
Public Square, several Buildings for that purpose.
The situation from its central position and accessi
bily is unsurpassed, and the building is designed
not only to furnish the most ample accommodations
requisite, but also to present in itself the peculiar
attraction of fthe Fair.
The proposed plan embraces Ladies' Bazaar
Refreshment, Mechanics, Mercantile, Produce, Fine
Art and Floral Halls, Museum Of Relics and
Curiostics, and Grand Audience room for Con-
certs, Lectures, Tablcaux, &c.

tions, in decoration and arrangement, and it is
intended to assign n space to each. county in Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania, in which are the organ
lied Aid Societies tributary to the Society OF
Northern Ohio.
