Wilder at Louisville—Arena for Display of Stork — Zealous Co-op*ration of 'Cit zens —The Grand implement Trial, &e Corresponcence of the Stsr Leutsvinugw, Ky. March 21 1857. The Executive Board of this society tive been in constant session for several days past making the necessary preliminary srran ments for the Fifth Annual Exhibition, which is to be held on the ground of the Southwest- ern Agricultural Association of this place. Hon. Marshall PB. Wildor, president of the society, arrived here on Wednesday He war acoompanied by Mr. H. S. Olcott, of the im L serpey committee, who bas in charge the eld trial of machines and implements of agri- culture. The Board ‘have decided to con form to the arrangements of the other leading societies of the Union by fixing the exhibition of the United States Society a month earlier than that of last year. It will commence on the 1st of September, and continue five days ending on Saturday with the usuat grand banquet, at which some of our most distin- guisted orators will deliver addresses. On some accounts this year’s show will be supe- rior to its predecessors. There will probably be a larger and more superior entry of stock and horses than has ever been | epee seen in this ecuntry The herds of the great breeders of Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Virginia, will be fully represented, and insomuch as liberal arrangements will be mads with the various railroad and steamboat lines centreing at Lou- ieville, there will bea considerable number of animals of the improved breeds from our Eastern and Northern growers. There seems extant acommendable eectional pride which will cause the Kentucky gentlemen fo unite in securing as imposing a display ac that of Phil adelphia met with the heartiest. co-operstion on the part of the officers and members cf the South western Association, and the citizens of Louis- ville generally The utmost readiness to lend perzoual agsstapce and influence is shown, all difficult: real impediments to success, and theconfident | hope is entertained by them that the United | Statessociety may have no cause for regretting | their choice of locality. : Some little idea may be formed of what these Southwestern gentlemen can accomplish for objects in which they bave a real interest ' whon it is considered that they have purchased | a level tract of forty five acres at a cost ef | seme forty thousand dollars, have surrounded this entire area with a tight board fence. erected a spacious srena for the exhibition of stock, around which are tiers of,seats capable of accowincdating 10,000 spectators, and put up several hundred cettle and horse stalls 1s not that doing something for azimple cown- ty society? ‘This arrangement of displaying stock botore the judges in au arena is new to Kastern people, but Mr. Wilder seems to re- gard it as a very desirable feature. There are large gates at either side of the amwphi- theatre for the entrance of the animal: in charge cf their keepers At the ringing of the large bell allof acertain breed or sepa class are led in; the jadges make their ex inations, arrive at a decision, and without de- lay the vietoxicus animals are adorned with ribbons, led around the arena to be seen by the spectators, and then removed to give place to another class. Thus the public are epeedi- ly made acquainted with the superior animals, and those wishing to make purchases have safe guides to follow after On the grounds is a large brick house, neatly painted and surrounded by shade trees, in whicn are commodious apartments for the use of ladies and children who may wish to retire awhile from the dust and confusion of the Fair grounds Ample eupplies of water are at hand {or the stock and a sufficient po- lice force is in daily attendance to preserve order. It is expected that the grand banquet will be held 1m a beautiful grove at one side of the grounds. This is carpeted with the thick, green turf of blue grass, which grows £0 lux- uriantly in Kentucky; the trees ars very large and tall beech, ash and hickory, without underbrush or any decaying vegetable refuse If canopies of flags are made and the trunks of the trees alongside the tables are draped with banners, the sight of some one or two thousand people feasting in this beautiful temple of nature will be surpassingly grand The grand trial of implements, of which so general notice has been made by the prese, will be held simuitanoously with the fair, \ upon a suitable field in the vicinity of the grounds. This will certainly be one of the wost important features of the exhibition, and of great interest to both the spectators and the entire farmirg community. You remember what itis proposed to acocm- ish The commitiee on impiements at the hiladelphia exhibition decided that no award for implements could be made with any jus- tice to either farmers or manufecturers with- out an actual working trial, and practical ex- emplification of their qualities before compe- tent judges They recommended the United States S.ciety to inaugurate a much needed reform, and meke this field trial. Their views were warmly scconded by the enlightened President and the members enerally, and the present committee on implements were ap- pointed with full powers to elaborate and exe- cute the intentions of the Philadelphia com- mittee. The result of their action is that their Secretary, Mr. Ulcott. of New York, is here with Col Wilder, to make selection of grounds and settle the necessary preliminaries. A competent superintendent will be secured to arrange the details of the trial, set the ma- chines in motion, and carry out the entire harmonious working of this ‘arm of the ser- ” {really think that when wo consider the great stock of the country by which Louisville is surrounded, the indomitable ene; and State pride of the citizens, the novel imple- ment trial, the increasing prestige attached to the United States Society's shows, and last, by no means least, the cloar headed energy dis- layed by its presiding officer, we may look ‘or a repetition in Kentacky of that victory, which on the peaceful fields of Boston, Spring- field, Ohio, and Philadelphia, has perched upon the bammers of an Agricultural ssocia- tion, in which American citizens can feel-a commendable pride. > Tanowine Corp Water Uron Sestiment.

The Bachelor and Baby. ‘‘What shall I do?” and the old bachelor Stamped abvut the sitting room in as perfect rage of doubt, looking first at the napping babe in the little willow cradle, and then at the busy French clock on the mantle-shelf. ‘Assure as my name is Joseph Phelps, that little, two-fisted, large-lunged nephew of mine, is about waking, and it wantsone whole hour of the time which its mother appointed for her return. Whew! I actually sweat, thinking about it.

Backwards and forwar#s, fromone side of the pillow to the other, the round, red face rolled; the infant fists were clenched with a force that purpled them; while from the white, plump throst, came a cry that set the bachelor wild with fear. Again Joe looked at the clock “What inthe deuce can I do??? he ex- claimed, viewing woefully the little inflamed face before him He sat cown in a big chair before baby— spread a double cradle-quilt over his knees, end with a look of terror upon his face, pro ceeded to take baby from its resting place He drew the young bopefal into his lap, just ag a very neat old lady would iokjup & pocket handkerchief with his thumbs a: A fresh yell from the rosy mouth of baby was the only expression of thanks as he commen- ced the never out-of fashion baby-trot ‘« Tt must be that something is pricking him.

But no pin wasto be found, and he made an attempt to turn baby over, but oh, the clumsiness of his fingers—the little eel-like form fell out of his lap to the floor, eending forth a cry that wag ‘louder, clearer, deadifer than before "’ * Lord save me!
