WASHINGTON COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

cinty; the attendance was very large, and with
the crowd, the music BY the Band the Ladies' Fair,
the blowing match, the procession and addresses,
and the multitude Of things to be examined, the
affair went OFF grandly. We began to take list
of the articles exhibited but, as the advertisers
say, there were too many forthe limits of a coun-
try newspapers" and besides, the dictionary didn't
afford terms enough to Indicate the relative merits
of each. The ladies', we think, did the best rlto-
gether; their exhibition Of carpets, rugs, hosiery,
and the numberless and beautiful articles of fancy
work, was splendid many of the articles would
bear comparison With the very best exhibited in the
great fairs a, Boston or Ncw-York, and would
doubtless command premiums there Oh vegeta-
bes fruit, sugar, honey and products OF the dairy
the quantity exhibited was much too small, though
the quality was excellent; and in the department
of cattle, Sheep horses, &C., there not so large
a dsplav as Their, should have BEEN But this was
the first attempt, and as such it remarkably in
terestiog and successful: another year will I'M
questionably show far greater things. Many a
farmer was heard to say, Of one prize article and
another, that he had better at home. This was half
Boosting and half complaining, and all ont of place.
Such men should not leave their great things at
home on such an occasion; If they do, they should
not brag about IT. Bring hem all out next year.
