A DRAWBACK to Cairo of no inconsider-

reason now, for indulging the hope that
in the future, we shall escape annoyance
from that source altogether.

Autumn.-The numerous aud bright oolors
of the foliage again remind as Of the de parture
of Summer. The seasons revolve and stay not
in their course, seemingly obliyious of the do
ings of mankind they hasten on, chasing each
other with flying feet iuto that osean Of eternity,
the vastness and immensity of which the human
mind is unable to comprehend.
SO with the course of men, the ambitions the
intrigues, the petty schemes, the triumphs and
disapp1intments, the victories and defeats, will
soon become things of the past and while re-
lentless time will sing their requiem it will
welcome upon its stage the eager feet of com
ing generations, who may, perhaps, look back
upon the actors Of the present with disdain, or
pity, or contempt. Let us so live Ghat when
the Autumn Of life comes we may depart
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him,
And lies down to pleasant dreams"

The wood County Fair.

The Wood County Agricultural Society
closed its Twentieth Annual Exhibition, at
Tontogany ON Saturday evening last, which
is generally spoken Of as the most success
ful of any yet held in the county.
II was believed by some that the opposi-
ZION or Central Fair, held at Bowling
Green this week, would detract to some
extent from the interest in the County Fair,
but on the contrary, it served to stimulate
the friends of the old society, and they
rallied to its support with an increased
number of entries and larger number of
spectators.
The enterprise and hospitality of the
citizens Of Tontogany were fully sustained
in their efforts to provide for the entertain
ment of all.
We had hoped to produce this week a
full report, with List of Premiums, &C.,
but have not yet been furnished with the
list,and have not the space for extended re-
marks.
