A large number Of the premiums we're
paid o6 at the grounds on Saturday sfter-
nom, and the balance will b paid ~ ths
Treasurer ., his Office n noon - applied for.
SO far - We know the awards have given
general satisfaction. and thoss Who came t.
compete have returned home salisRsd that
everything has besn deae on the square,
Some have carried away lasso auouats, some
small, and some have taken nothing. 10
addition to the premiums o6ered-which
were very liberal amounting to -. 600, the
Society gave away 1000 in Discretionary
premiums. Surely no one can complain.
when such great liberslity is practiced By
that institution. But the object Of the So.
ciety is not to make money, fos the purpose
Of .ccumslating = capital. but merely to dis
tribute il again among exhibitors, saving
out only enough to pay the legitimate sx-
penses and make necessary impsOvs0cnts
and repairs upon the grouads. Whom the
grounds reach that degree Of completeness
that will dsmaad no farsher outlay then the
entire proeseds Of the Fair aitss payios q

he was in destitute Circumstances, not hav<
ing had anything TO est for thirty>six hours.
One Of the boys took him home, and offered
to board him for short time, at tbe ams
time offering him york in his place during
the continuation Of the Fair. Tho fellow
showed . peculiar affection tor the beard,
but very little for the work. In fact, hs
made himself 20 obnoxious that his ''ffiend
in need paid him oG Sat irday night, and
told him to make himself scarce. lie did 10.
leaving a trifling article Of wear behind him.
lie called for his property this morning, and
~ tho printer was absent, made free to carr
~ of an si htc.n dollar coat. The owner
soon heard Of it, and hssteoing TO the leves,
to1ard which the thief had started, he
found the gentleman on board the steamer
Reserve, wearing the stolen coat, and sbsut
to leave for q more eonssnial cline. The
coat Was peeled on in double quick time
but in consideration Of the poor devils pow
erty. he Was allowed to depart in peace.
