County Fair.

We republish the Premium List, Regula-
tons, &c, for the next county fair, for the
reason that in the hurry of making out the
list, some important items were omitted in
| the publication last week, some errors com.
mtted, and the names of the officers were
not given. The list is now supposed to be
complete and generally correct.
The season promises to be an excec ling
ly favorable one for the farmers. and as this
SHOULD really be their great jubilee, it i. hoped
they will not give 1t the go by, as SO many
did for the last two or three years.
The approaching fair is being held under
somewhat different auspices from any here
tofore, and with many tokens of sure sue
cess. 1t needs but the lively interest of the
farmers to make that success certain.
The mechanics. artisans. traders, &C., OF
the cities and villages of the county, have al
50 deep interest III the success ofthe County
fair. AID ii is hoped there will be no remss-
ness on their part.
The premiums on most arti les have near
IL been doubled, and other attractive features
added so that those alone whose chef in
tarest it is TO have q successful fair Will he
10 blame if the fair falls short of what
it ought to be.
