The Directors OF the Van Buren, County Ag-
ricutural Society Will hold an all days meeting,
at Town Hall, on Tuesday, Feb, 9Th, for the
purpose or revising the Premium List and
Regulations, and for making arrangements for
holding the 26th Annual Fair. All persons in
terested in the success OF the Society are invt-
ed and urged to be present
Many complaints and objections to the Prem
ium List and Regulations, and brought for
ward during Fair time, which seem plausible
and reasonable to those urging them, while
looking at only one side OF the shield, but had
they attended the meeting which formed the
rules, and heard both sides of the case, the
objections would undoubtedly vanish. The
Board OF Directors have but one object-that
Of making the Fair success. They come to
Paw Paw several times during tue year. leave
their business pay their own expenses and re-
ceive no pay. It is no part Of their business
to concoct schemes OF extortion, and they have
no desire to do 80. They would gladly make a
Fair free to everybody, furnish dinner to all,
and give each exhibitor premium. But it
takes good deal Of money to run fair It
requires stringent rules, and when they are
once published they must be lived up to. An
Agricultural Fair, in an agricultural country, is
one OF the requirements OF the age. Its sue
cess is usually measure OF the intelligence
and enterprise OF its people, 1t should be the
Harvest Home Holiday-the annual gathering
Of the people-to look at, and show the beet
the season has produced.
The Directors of our Agricultural Society,
earnestly desire to make the coming exhibition
tae best and most successful Of ALL To do so.
will require the corporation and efforts of all
citizens OF the town and people from the
country. The coming meeting will establish
the rules which sball govern it and fix the
premiums to be awarded. Thew hope to make
them both so wise and judicious, that at the
coming far neither complaint nor murmuring
will be heard.

CENTENNIAL BELLS.
BY Ausr1cIA.

Centennial bells, centennial bells!
Their ring has jubilant tone,
That proudly of ancient victory tells;
And tyrrany strong, overthrown;
AS with Titan voice they send forth their notes,
months q thousand and hundreds twain
Since naughty Albion's minion red-coats
Bowed to our Flag" is their refrain
Glad, listening millions, the freemans firm
In this joyous clangor and hear
AS when, unbidden, they hastily sped,
Lexington's stricken SONS to cheer
Or on Concord hill, IN motely array
Gathered, swift the foeman to meet
In deep, silent awe, which takes tongue to-day,
Their thrice noble names to greet
Nov. grim Punkatassett, whose turf was pressd
hat day, by those rude yeoman feet;
(And in some old hearts, is still laurel dress'dD
Echoes back this jubilance sweet;
Where, untold by glowing historic page
On his gently uplifted ridge;
They gathered-the iron men OF that age
The British to watch at the bridge.
Thence, when the oppressors that structure
pass'd.
And began it's planks to remove;
They rushed down, as one, with weapons held
fast.
The audacious foe to reprove.
Honored old Hill would thy quaint, Indian
name,
Were the theme of some bard, whose fire
The Genus of Song, with his touch OF 1ame,
To coruscant blaze should inspire
The scenes and tales OF that nerve-trylng day,
By an eyewitness dear lips told;
Have the writer oft charmed from childish play,
In the happy home-hfe OF old
The pealing chant of centennial bells,
A Republics great heart, now, thrills
As Llberty's birth-cry, repeated, swells
Der our country's battle-bought hills
Now, our Liberty Tree hundred years,
Its evergreen needles has waved;
To it's proud height nursed, by rich blood and
tears
While the Eagle the Lion brsved;
Where the cannon pour'd its sulphurous breath,
Round Bunker Hills time honored crest;
And plain yeomen faced patriots death,
Which laid low their bravest and best
Glorys silver bells-centennial bells
From the peaks Of our mountains grand;
Send the anthem Of Peace IN royal swells,
To our most remote island strand;
And their vibrating tongues and brazen throats
Pour flood Of exultant sound;
While ColumD;;a's 8 barque The Free Flag floats,
And no slave on her soil is found
