THE STATE FAIE.--A gentleman passing
through here from the State Fair at Peoria, who
attended the exhibition of the same society here,
reports that the State Fair is failure at Peoria.
The attendance is much smaller than at Ottawa,
and the exhibition of animals and machinery
falls far below the display when the fair was held
here. Gentlemen from Ottawa who have re
turned corroboratc the above statement.

PARKER's LANDING, April 4, 1873.
This place was visited last nlght by another very
destructive fire. which ragged with great violence
till nalrpasttwo this morning, when 1t died out
through scarcity or anything else to consume. This
conlagration exceeded in its work OF destruction
that which visited US last January, when half tho
town was burned. The fire was first, discovered
about ten o'clock In the building used as olces by
Messrs. Armers Reawer, and, a. . stiG breeze was
prevailing, the names spread with fearful rapidlty
until all the buildings on both sides Of the street.
from the point where the old fire was checked, ss
the uppsr part Of the town. down to the old Parker
Mansion, was wrapped In flames. 6 y = = ..'
The excitement was intense among the inhabi-
tants who found 1t absolutely impossible to pre-
vent the spread Of She names, and the saving Of
household efiects was dangerous toiffe SO rapidly
DID fire leap rom one building to another. Barrels
Of salt were emptied ON the roofs, but appeared to
have no effect. Asthe wind was strong from OF the
river and sweeping down the valley with consider
able force 1t was at once 0oacluded that the re-
naming portion OF the town would have to 70.
The fire burned wickedly for nearly I'VE hours, by
which time it nad reduced to asneS the larger por-
tion Of the business part Of the place.
The loss is estimated at upwards Of three hum
dred thousand dollars on which there is some in
suranCe, but not suticte ut by any means 70 cover
