ton to the stock, the most improved
agricultural implements and the many
useful and novel articles that will be on

ers to present superior attraction, VIII
induce persons living far and ne,N 10
visit it daily. The Baltimore 81 ONO
Railroad will carry passengers at hail 'he
usual rates, and every train will stop al

one or more jolly excursions SO that all
the people between Martinsburg and
Harrisburg will have an opportunity Tor
a days holiday and days sight seeing
Neither expense or labor will be spared
to make this Fair success; aud efforts
of that character deserve the patronage

earth's revolution upon its axis. or holds
it back with force OF 5000 millions
OF horse powers. Hence 1t is easy to
zee that without come counter force,

ginfus Question.


Einius Question.
The full text OF the correspondence
between the governments of the United
States and Spain on the Virginius ques-
ton, is ready for Transmission to Com
