he Com ing Fair.

Every thing goes on swmminely with regard
to he coming Fair. There has been a large
mum GER Of entries of horses, and the prospect
is that the exhibition of neat stock, swine and
sheep &c., will equal that of any of our Site
exbioitioos.
Oar own city gardens will produce SOME fine
frnits and flowers the present year-an1 it is
to be hoped that every one who can lcontribute
anything in this line will lend helping hand

manufacturers will contribute literally TO the
exhibition 10 the ball. We ieel certain that

th stock -raisrrs at the grounds at the Park.
Here ofore at exhibitions OF this kind the sup
ply ha, been generous but not general; an err

something cxquisitely nice rather than practi
cal ard within the view OF purchasers. We
believe the object OF gatherings of this kind is
something akin To the English market day,
where me chanical, agricui ural, dairy and 9th
er products are brought forward for barter and
SAFE, with prices attached; and not a fancy ex
hbi.ion room where the spectator admires but
81 not te mpted to buy because the extra labor
hes owed has put an exaggerated price upon
the article beyond necessity or the limits of his
purse. PortIaod can contribute boots, shoes,
hArLesse., carriages, sewing machines, edge
tools, sugar, agricultural implements, glass
ware, machinery castings, and ten thousand
otner thing. prod uced or sold here that will be
