Tue VERMONT STATE EAIR.-1

The VERMONT STATE FAIR.-The
committee on the location appointed by
the Directors Of the Vermont State Ag-
ricultural Society, to fix upon the place
of holding the annual fair for 1871, have
selected St. Johnsbury. Consequently
the exhibition will be held on the grounds
Of the Caledonia Agricultural Society,
in that town, the second week in Sep
TENDER. The citizens of ST.. Johnsbury
have contributed $4,000 to make the
necessary preparations. This location
is made, we understand, in justice to q
large section of the State which has al
ways manifested deep interest in the
success of the society. The object of the
society is to give all parts of the State
an opportunity to be represented from
time to time in its annual exhibitions
and the valley Of the Passumpsic and
Northeastern Vermont have never be,
fore applied for it, and being growing
and thriving section Of the State, afford
ing ample accommodations, the commit
tee have thought that they were entitled
to consideration, although the exhibition
might not prove as remunerative to thu
society as some more central locality, like
Rutland. The exhibition is located a
