AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The following communication was re-
ceiyed TO late for insertion in our paper
Of las, week. for (which il was evidently
intended. Though too late for part Of
its object, VIC nevertheless publish i this
week, hoping il will have . tendency TO
draw the attention Of the people oforange
to The importance Of attempting an inn
provement in the agriculture Of the coun-
Try, and to union Of action under the forms
Of an Agricultural Society, as the most
eiicien, means of attaining that end.
The proposition for an annual address
we consider a good one; and we know Of
no more suitable person than the iudlHl-
dual named Cor the performance OIL the
task. We are sure he would do justice
to his subject, and give great satisfaction
to his hearers.
The suggestion in the last paragraph
meets our entire appreciation. Now thai
the political contest is in measure set
lied fer time, portion of our columns
cannot be better occupied than in the iur
therance of Agricultural Improvements
We only regret that our superficial &C
quainiance with the subject OF Agricul
mre, and our otherwise limited opportu
mites, will enable us to do 50 little. we
however, invite the assistance OF gentle
men whose pursuits enable them to glea'
knowledge in the matter. and whose lei
sure will permit them occasionally to dc
vote an hour to the subject; and IN TIN
way we hope to be able to fill up an AZ
riculmral Department which will be pr'
ftable to our readers.
