TIE DISTRICT FAIR.-Thc First Annual
Fair OF the Eastern Montana Agricultural,
Mineral and Mechanical Association opened
on Monday last, and has been successful be-
yond the most sanguine expectations of the
projectors. The exhibition ofstock has been
much larger than was anticipated, and the
display of cereals is exceedingly fine, and we
are assured by gentlemen, who have attended
every fair held in the Territory, that the one
held at Gallatin City this week eelipses them
al. The neighboring counties of Madison,
Jefferson and Mcaghcr..contributed largely to
the success Of the fair, and made an excellent
showing of the resources of their beautiful
valleys, both in agricultural products and
the splendid varieties of stock exhibited. The
races, of which we have given reports in
s'extras" forrneds Of course, prominent fca-
turc OF the fair, and have been well conduc-
ted, and although, in some eases, the results
took many of the s'initiatcdn by surprise.
causing large sums ofmoney to change hands
Every thing passed off in the mos. harmoni-
otis manner, and we are glad to be able to
record, in the most unqualified terms, the
sHccess OF our First District Eair..' We
hcpe that it may be the precursor of many
more equally successful exhibitions of this
kind, and are certain they will contribute
very largely to the material wel-being of the
con- munity.

VEsUvIUs. The eruption of Mount Fesu-
vius continues, but the latest dispatches, re-
ceived last night, report cessation of the
flow of lava and the probable safety of some of
the threatened villages, though that of San
Sebastian is still in danger. The stream of
lava advances slowly, but surely, aud the peo-
pie are abandoning their homes for safety be-
yond reach of the fiery food. The devasta ton
is reported to be terrible, thousands of acres of
cultivated land having been overwhelmed, and
it is feared that the loss of life has been heavy,
though it has not been possible to ascertain its
extent. The Government has been authorized
to make all necessary provision for the comfort
of the people who have been so suddenly de-
priged Of their homes.
