in THE PBRRYSBURG JOURNAL. PERRYSBURG JOURNAL. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1854. The Next County Fair. copy paper, M. Democrat, the Premium List for the next County Fair. The attention of the farmers of Wood county is respectfully invited to this 'subject. By a little effort on the part of t ach one, commenced in season, a much better display may be easily made next fall than has been heretofore witnessed. the successful competitors will at the same time be the ones most benefitted. The pri mary object of ihe societv is to infuse into agricultural pursuits higher and higher stan dards of excellence and more scientific and improved methods of cultivation. Every member is thus interested not only in the improvements he may himself have in hand, but also those of all his neighbors and fellow- inembers the aggregate improvements of the year. There is one new feature in the premium list, as will be observed. The distribution of "JO copies each of the county newspapers a year as premiums, is a compliment as un Andior xpected as it is gratifying, and will incite the publishers to renewed efforts to properly deserve this mark of confidence and favor on the part of the officers of the agricultural society. .r'-The proposed extension of the corpo rate, limits of the town of Perrysburg, for which a majority of the voters of the town decided at the last spring election, has been prevented for the present, as we understand, by a writ of injunction, allowed by Judge Hall, of the court of common pleas for Wood county. The ground of the injunction is, that the law, under which the proposed en largement was to take place, is unconstitu tional. The last two legislatures seem to have had very little conception of their true powers under the new constitution. The effect of this injunction will be bad for our town, improvements and investments can never be expected to amount to much in a place taxed to the extent this is. 2The var news from Europe by the Arabia, unintelligible as the telegraph makes it., still renders it very probable that Austria has committed herself against Russia, and will, ere long, be found in arms side by side ! with England and France. If this shquld prove true, Prussia will very likely follow the example, and the result of the war may ihen be considered as settled against Russia. In .such case Russia would no doubt be glad t'j accept any reasonable terms of peace, for a prolonged war, against such fearful odds, would be but madness and folly in her. We have no details of any very important j movements yet at the scenes of war. j sy-The new planing mill and sash ma-jthe chine are just getting into operation in Per- i and will be ready, probably, before i long, to supply all orders for planed and j matched lumber and window sash in this j quarter. This will be a valuable improve-! ment for this place, and we sincerely hope! the proprietors may find the investment a payiug one, and be well rewarded for their enterprise. The Indiana State Sentinel gives, from re liable data, the population of the principal cities and towns of Indiana. In this state ment New Albany is set down as containing a population of 17,000 ; Indianapolis Ib.uuu ; Madison 14,000; Evansville 10,000; La-drews fjyette 9,000. Sandwich Islands. A Washington letter writer says : " My impressions in relation to the contemplated annexation of the Sand wich Islands are fully confirmed by addi tional and positive information. The nego tiations have been industriously pushed for ward for some time past, and a treaty of annexation is expected by the President, in the next despatches from Hawaii. It is ful ly believed that the arragemeni had been so far perfected at the last advices, as to be safe from future accident." Missouri. Luther M. Kennett, (late may- of St. Louis.) has been nominated for con gress by the wlr.gs of the 1st district. We presume the anti-Bentons will elect him over Old Bullion if they can. There is war to the knife between the Benton and anli-Ben-ton factions, and each is nominating full tickets almost everywhere. The antis being the weaker party, they will be driven to throw their votes for the whig candidates in many districts, and the result will probably be a practical whig triumph. The President has approved of the decision of the court martial in the case of Major Wyse, which is that he be suspended from his rank and pay for the period of six months. What does the Toledo Republican think of this ? A short time asm the Republican said the punishment ought to fall on Gen. Scott instead of Maj. Wvse. There seems to b ; a difference among dignitaries "on points o' 1U u , haPP6ne(3 "nder the Old Testament dispensa The Springfield Republican says : " There are two parties in that town on the Nebraska question.

This is something new to our farmers. " There is Nothing New undek the Sun." If old King Solomon had flourished in the present century, he would not have uttered this controverted adage. Our eyes are made to stand out almost daily by something new, decidedly new, and which could never have tion. By recent New lork newspapers, we notice that the eminent Dr. H. K. Root, of No. 512 in that city, offers the sum of one hundred dollars for the best poetical criticism upon his new medical work, the " People's Medical Lighthouse." Now if this is not something new and original, pass us an al manac for 1S55.
