THE AGRICULTURAL FAiR.--The County Ag-
ricuItnral Fair, OF which due notice has been
given, commences Wednesday next, and will
continue three days. From what we can learn
the people Of the county feel lively interest
in the success Of the Fair, and are preparing
for the exhibition. This is certainly highly
commendable, and we hope the Farmers Of old
Montgomery are putting forth their best efforts
in this most laudable undertaking. Through
out the country Fairs have become the .sOrder
of the day. and each succeeding year fur
nishcs evidence of their utility, while at the
same time 1t affords the opportunity of sup
plying any deficiency in the manner of con-
Quoting them, and Of correcting the mistakes
of other years. 1t is needless to tell the reader
that Fairs are Of ancient origin, and were in
stiiuted to promote the common good. What
we wish to impress upon the mind of the Far
mer, and all interested is, the duty of using
every effort to make the Fair complete sue
cess, and reflect credit upon themselves and
upon the county. To do this allmnst be NOV
ing now in the right direction-evcrything
must be put in ample ORDER and their best
productions placed on exhibition. There is
another thing connected with these gatherings
Of the people which is not unworthy of notice.
1t is the mEgling together Of old friends who
are engaged in common pursuit, and what is
the interest OF one is the interest of all, and
thus in the interchange of sentiment mutual
advantage is derived. Let all get ready for
the Fair-the time is short-leave nothing un-
done TO make it complete success.
Our ScHooLs.-The vacation being over the
duties of all our Schools wsre resumed on
Monday last under the same Instructors and
under flattering auspices. True, thus early,
the classes are not full, and will not be until
the close of the Fair, now so near at hand
After that the classes all will fill up and the
labors OF teacher and pupil seriously begin If
anything we may say would be of advantage
TO the youth, we would urge all TO diligence in
their studies, remembering that the days of
their youth are rapidly passing away, and they
will soon be called on to enter to upon the ac-
tive duties Of life. Whether their part is to be
well or i'll performed depends upon how they
improve their time.
The reader is referred to the advertisements
of these Schools in the Sentinel.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT. On Wednesday morn
ing last, rs Mrs. Judge Bowie, in company
With her two neices and nephew, were on their

NORTH CARoLINA.-A circular has been is

State announcing their intention to contest
the election of Caldwell, radical, as Governor
of North Carolina. The paper has been widely
distributed and it urges all lovers of right
to see that justice is done. This is proper. If
there has been fraud, of which there seems 10
be no doubt, Caldwell should not be permitted

Tue Baltimore Gazette has the following. We
call the attention of the Democratic State FIX
