for the Insane Hospital, several of the inmates
|of that institution were assisting in the work.
While thus engaged one of them advanced to
the edge of the wharf and jumped into the

himself He was rescued just in time to save
his life. On being questioned in regard to the
rash act, he said that he wanted to drown HIM

AS stated in our issue of yesterday the
Trustees of the State Agricultural Society,
lat meeting held at the Mansion House on
Tuesday, voted to accept the proposition OF
the citizens of Augusta, and hold the next
State Fair in this city the coming autumn. A
majority of the Board was present, and the
vote, we understand, was UNANIMOUS one.
No better location could have been selected
for the Fair than is secured by this city as
our advantages in regard to hotels and access
Utility from all parts of the State are second
only to Portland, which having had the State
Fair and New England Fair, two years in sue
|cession put in no proposition for it this year.
while in regard to the facilities afforded by
ample grounds with good track, within few
rods from the railroad, whore all freight in
cality far exceeds that Of any other brought
to the attention of the Trustees. The location
too, is in the centre of the best formed section
of Maine where better representation of its
steeds, flocks herds and agricultural products
can be brought together, than at any poin'
where State Fair would be likely to be held.
If, as we are assured, the object of these fairs
is to improve the agriculture of Maine in all
Its branches, and if the aims of the Society aa
a State Society are to be carried out, its fairs
should certainly be held in different parts o.
Maine, and upon this ground if no other in'
ducements were presented, we claim that the
holding Of the Fair this year, belongs to the
valley of the Kennebec.
The premium list of the Society has been
thoroughly revised, and will be given to the
public at an early day. 1t is exceedingly ju-
dicous and embraces liberal premiums foI
every branch of our agricultural, manufacture
ling and household industry. A meeting
the Trustees is also called for the 2sth inst,
in this city, to perfect further Arrangement,
for the Fair, of which, as well as subsequent
meetings, we shall keep our readers duly in.
