Why No STATE FAIR?-Mr. WATSON, Presi
dent of the Maine State Agricultural Society
answers this question in a communication in
the last Maine Farmer. He says substantially,
that the citizens Of Bangor accepted the prop
ositons of the socet y for fair in that city the
coming autumn, one condition in which was
cash subscription Of $4,000. The citizens
agreed to contribute one half if the city coun-
Gil would appropriate the remainder. The
Mayor appeared favorable to the propositions
and An order was passed in both branches APP
propriating $780, The citizens set to work to
raise their proportion, with good success,
when on the very last day of grace the Mayor
vetoed the appropriation. Some of the lead
tng citizens proposed second trial, believing
that an appropriation of $3.50 would pass the
council by two thirds vote; but an interview
between the Trustees and the Mayor conyinc-
ed the former that the Mayor was irreyocably
opposed to the expenditure OF a dollar nv the
city government for that purpose, and the pro-
iect was abandoned. Mr.. WATSON closes his
communication:

DECISION UNDER THE LATE TREATY.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Washington, ID. c., July q, 1871. !
Sir:-Mr. John Porteous has appealed from
your decision assessing duty at the rate of three
dollars per barrel on certain salmon, at the
rate of thirty per centum ad valorum on GER
tain preserved salmon and at the rate of half a
cent per ponnd on certain Goldfish, imported by
him into your port from Halifax, Canada, and
claims that such fish are entitled to free cut r.,
US the products of the fisheries of the Domin'
ion OF Canada, under the provisions of the
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain, concluded at Washington May 8, 1871,
and since ratified by the two countries
Upon an examination of the said treaty it
appears that the provisions thereof (Article
XXI which allow the importation into the
United States free of duty of fish oil and fish
of all kinds Except fish of the inland lakes
and OF the rivers falling into them, and except
fish preserved in oily being the produce of the
fisheries of the Dominion of Canada or OF
Prince Edwards Isand,' do not, by the tenor
of Article XXXIII thereof, take effect until
the laws required to carry them into operation
have been duly enacted by the Congress of the
United States. Such laws have not yet been
enacted, and the provisions OF the treaty re-
ferred to are consequently not in force.
Your decision therefore, in assessing duties
ON the said fish is HEREBY affirmed.
am very respectfully,
