almost every work on the subject, whether pnb-

essential parts of which being comprised in this
Dictionary, render it as perfect and compreheh
siye as possible. The publishers have endeavored
to use great economy in type so that each page OF

less of cost, to make the work as complete as pos
sible and it is hoped every one DESTROYS to obtair

n STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 23d,

hold it's annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your Stock
the products of your orchards and Of your gardens
Don presume that any ANIMAL or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, ms it is
ONLY by comparison that the relative merits any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to gallantly enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the Judges is u guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
fled to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
AZ are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oiucs and daughters to bring whatever appertalns
to hei, peculiar departments as embroidery, hOuse
hold nnactres, the proaaets Of The dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserpe. domestic ,oines, contec-
lions, and, above all things to come themselves as
c,thout ,oon,an and the beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery Of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage Of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States Of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
Ground. Such ambition is laudabe-s worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer a favor by copying this notice.
