The Annual Fair of the State Agricul tural and Mechanical Society corn:e cnc ed in Columbia on Tuesday the 8th inst., con tinuing four days. From the )aily Record of that city is taken the following account of what was lone and what was there to he seen: First Day. Many persons were disappointed this morning when the rain-drops began to pat ter lown, and it was very generally thought that the shower would continue durin the (lay. But not so. The ralin held U;) and the weather was just the pr"oper tectpera ture. The Fair was vcll attended today, ald everything on the grounds wears a gay 11a( lively appcarance. The beauty and itlelli gence of the State are pretty well r-pr sentedl. though the crowd has by no neans reached the tlood-tide. The hotels and boarding-houses are rapidly filling up. It is not South Carolina alone that lats gtll ered 'her beauty and ha r chivalry' here, but several other States have contrillted their quotas to swell the tide of hum::nity that is now crowding the Fair grounds and sweeping through our streets. 'l'his is always a OALA w1'K IN (OI.t'\ilA and her citizens ttsd+tlly give themselvts iap to the social and bp%sincess (l('mands ot the OCCasionl F iencds wIho have n it met since the last Fair meet now, and the SiCaIl ti's between the various sections of the 'ate are renewed and strengthencd.

It was his purpose to give in briei and without comment, the history of ngri cultural societies in South Caroliua from 1785 to the present time. On the 9th of August, 1785, twenty-four citizens of Charleston met at the City Hall in Charleston for the purposo of forming a society in this State to encourage the, pursuit of afariculture. This soeiety continued its operations and held suc cessful faire until in 1861, whon the war closed its operations. On the 28th of April, 1869, the Agricultural Conven tion of South Carolina met in Columbia in Carolina Hall. 'wenty tivo couuties were represented. The Agricultural and Mechanical Sooiety of South Carolina was formed mulder the con.titution adepted. Thus the present society was oianized and the present State lair lirst provi(ed for. The iirst Fair was held in 18I9, 18 yeara) Igo. 'The nociety las conduiei(d its operations since under tle p1rsitlt "cy Suie('msivly of Messrs. i 11tgood, Voodwar], 'aylor, Cray ton and )uncan.
