WILLIAMSPORT ITEMS.

A prominent citizen and old Mary
KinZer, COL, had a lawsuit last week
about the hire Of her son, before Esq.
Russell. Aunt Mary, who is said to
have wicked tongue, so provoked her
antagonist that he struck her. The JUS
tice fined him Sil, including costs.
Last Sunday was quite lively day at
the Ridge Church, not far from, the VII
lage. Rev. Mr.. Bouiton preached to a
large audience They have good Sun
day School. There was preaching at
night
Tho village looked quite calm and es-
rene Sunday last, owing to the absence
of the pastors of different churches,
but quite lively friday evening last,
owing to small chunk of fight,
Mr.. VIM. Southall was very suddenly
baptized on his return from the Christian
Church Sunday evening, by his horse
falling while crossing the Delk ford of
Duck river. 60" Bill, "and sin no
more"
John Lawson's child. year old, was
badly burned one night last week by
lily had goi,a to sleep.
There were several f4nc; full fig' res cut
by pair OF sOrrel ffllies running away
with a harrow last week, on Green
Plaips farm.
The farmers are busy chopping
through their cotton and running around
their corn, all OF which is looking quite
promising. The late rain was very re-
freshing.
Mr.. VIM. Revere, Of the village,
caught yellow cat fish that weighed 60
pounds, also a red horse that weighed

sIaury County Fair.

MEssRS. EDITORS:-Let me offer one
or two ideas for the consideration of the
Directors of our County Fair. In dis
play of stock and in general attractive
ness, it is equal to any i'll the State
but it is not making enough money to
keepit going.
WIN not reduce tie time from five
days to three? Last year, as the books
will show, the attendance was almost
altogether on three days-and so it
always is. BY condensing little, by
selecting judges beforehand for the
different classes, by beginning more
promptly and pushing matters more
vigorously, nothing need be neglected
that now receives attention. Nothing
more depresses and eXhausts both mana
gers and spectators than a "beggarly
account OF empty" benches-a dragging,
spiritless exhibition of a scanty amount
of stock to q few listless beholders. On
the contrary, a large crowd is always
lively and easily entertained helps in
deed to entertain itself.
There is another side to the question.
[ live in one end of the county,--four-
teen miles from the Fair grounds. OF
course / can't leave my business and
attend five days of the Fair, so L select
those that suit me best, and go once,
or perhaps twice. 1 see small amount
of what is shown and get little benefit
from it. Were there but three days, l
could still go twice, and should be more
likely to do so, as l could see most of
what was to be seen. l have no idea
the farmers of the county, taken as an
average, attend more than one day I'M
der the present system.
The reduction OF expenses by perhaps
one-third is also an item worth consid-
ering---but needing no argument--and
Pm afraid OF being tedious.
Yours, &c, b.
