Posi-" which he subsequently converted into an
English paper called the "WoRKINGMEN's Ap-

enlarged and called the ''sUSBURY GAZETTE"
and was published a number years under the
management Of his son GEO. B. YoUNGMAN, Esq.

STATE FAIR.-The exhibition of the Pennsyl-
vania state Agricultural Society which occurs at
Scranton on September 10th, goth 2lst and 22d
promises to be a display ofunusual magnifcence.
A splendid collection Of native aud imported live
stock will be on exhibition, including horned
cattle, sheep, swine, &C..
One of the prominent features of the fair will
be the grand trials of speed, which are to take
place daily for tho largest premiums ever offered
by the society, and we are assured that in this,
as in all the branches of home industry, competi-
tion will be remarkably brisk and active. Ar
rangements have been concluded for the finest
and largest floral display ever shown at any ex-
hibition of the society, which will include all the
rarest and most beautiful varieties Of native and
exotic plants. '-.
Liberal terms have been made with tho differ
ent Railroad companies, by which excursion tick
cts good for the round trip will be issued at great
ly reduced rates and all animals and articles that
have been on exhibition and remain unsold will
be returned free. The prospects of the society
for a brilliant fair have never been more promis-
ing, and as this is the last exhibition that will
occur in this section for number of years we
hope our citizens and people of the neighbor-
hood will contribute literally in the way of en-
tries, attend in body and make 1t both credit
able and successful. ' ~

BALLOON AscENsGoN.-A large number of our
citizens assembled on the fiat, at the lower end
of town, on Wednesday afternoon last, to witness
the balloon ascension, which was announced to
take place prior to the afternoon performance of
one-horsc circus exhibition. About ~ o'clock
the necessary arrangements were completed for
the ascension, the ropes were cut and the balloon
ascended at rapid rate. The ascension occupied
about two minutes and the descent not quite so
long time, the adventurer alighting in the lot
of Mrs. S. simpson,on Walnut street. This sensa-
tion dodge was well planned to draw a crowd, but
aflcr giving this free exhibition, there were but
few that could be induced to 80 inside the can
vass to see the show, the proceeds OF which,
we learn, fell short OF paying expenses.

to the borough council to erect street lamps, and
a town meeting called Mt the Court House this
(Saturday) evening, to instruct the Council whe-
thcr to accept or reject the proposition. 1t GER
tainly would be commendable move to have
our streets lighted with gas, particularly in the
