rently reported that this society was about to give
up the ghost and hold no more fairs at Bethel
Our correspondent at that place assures us
that, instead of this being the fact, at an ad.
journed annual meeting held the 4th instant, il
was unanimously agreed to hold their yearly fair,
and it was the opinion that the society never
stood so well as at the present. The society gets
the ground rent at a much smaller figure than at
any former year. 1t was concluded by the large
number of stockholders that this fair can and
shall be made the best fair in the state. Great
enthusiasm was manifested. The directors will
meet the 29th to appoint committees and make
other arrangements for the fair
