AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF CITI-
ZENs.--A meeting of "members of the
Chamber of Commerce, Tobacco Ex-
change, and the Corn Exchange, together
with representatives of the various trades
and callings in the city, is advertised to be
held in the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce, this evening at clock, to ''delib-
crate upon the propriety Of appointing
committee to confer with the executive
committee ofthe State agricultural society,
in order to organize such plan as may be
promotive of the interest of Richmond in
connection with the approaching fair"
This movement has for its main object
the acquisition of funds from the citizens of
Richmond to be applied, under the direc-
ton of the executive committee of the So
ciety, to the promotion of the attractive
ness of its next annual fair.
In the abstract we have no objection to
this scheme, but its PRONUNCIATION at this
time, reminds us of another "plan," to
which we beg leave to invite the attention
of those who may attend the meeting this
evening. We refer to the proposition to
establish here an annual industrial expo
sition" similar to those which have been
held, with signal success. in several of
the western cities.
The consummation of this scheme would,
more surely than that of any other which
could be devised, ensure US Especial ex-
hibition at the earliest practicable moment
Of our large and growing industries, and
capacity to supply our varied needs" The
older citizens of Richmond remember the
very attractive exhibitions held in by-gone
days under the auspices of the "Meohan.
ics' Institute.o Now, what we need to in
vite attention to our growing industries"
is revival, on larger scale, of these ex-
hibitions, continuing not only during fair
week, but a week or two before and after.
We ought to have specimens of Richmond
skill and handiwork on exhibition at a
place within the city limits, which shall be
open and accessible at night, as well as
during the day, and for longer period
than the four days usually, allotted to the
.'cattle show' Of the State society, Why
cannot we have such an exhibition?
These remarks should not be construed
as an indication Of antagonism on our part
to the State agricultural society. We arr
friendly to that society land will cheerfully de
what we can towards making its next annua
fair the best it has ever held. But we d.
not want it to take charge of all our indus
trial interests, unless it be ascertained tina
there is not sufficient public spirit and en-
ergy to organize an independent but coop
| crate exposition of our growing industries
The treasury of the society can be easil,
replenished, in our opinion, if the price O
life membership is reduced to $40, Blu
whether we err or not in our judgment OF
this point, we hope that the meeting thi
evening will not, without due deliberation
commit the people of Richmond to an,
course of action which may destroy tn
hope of having here, next fall, a grand ex
position of our industrial interests.

WHAT Is A FLOODED HORSE ?-He is
a horse having more than an ordinary
amount of drops or pounds of blood in his
system. in proportion to the SIZE and
weight. This large amount Of blood acts
upon his system though large heart, and
correspondingly large arteries and veins |;
and, put in motion, it acts driving him
to speed, the same as an increased amount
of fire under the boiler drives Oft a greater
amount of steam, and makes the machinery
20 faster. This large amount of blood also
acts in refining the skin, making it and the
horse finer than in horse of less blood; il
refines and gives elasticity to the muscles,
the feet, &C.; it refines the entire horse,
making strong the valuable parts, and
fitting the whole system for speed and en-
durance.

AN unprecedented combat occurred at
Albany recently. 1t was fight between
two goats and man. The cunning and
boldness of the animals are said to have
been remarkable. They lodged about like
professional pugilists they ran between
the mans legs /; they jumped against his
body, and, as the report says, "bucked
him in all possible ways" AS for the
man, all he could do was to kick out
wildly. The more he kicked the more
feroeious became the goats, and it is
thought that they would have killed him if
their owner had not by force withdrawn
them from the arena.
