of a mile and a half, running in parallel lines scram the
length from north to south. The former has been epee

and articles entered for exhibition. The sheds are crowded
with implements, and on the open space to the south is
a long line of portable and fixed engines for driving as
machinery in motion ; and the curious will end every article
bearing the most intimate cud the most distant relatios-
ship to agriculture, from a mouse-trap to a corn-mill, or •
brickmaking machine. In the multitude of articles detail

inspecting the largest and most perfect collection of imple-
ments ever brought together on such an occasion.
