they fail if Oh the contrary, success should
crown their efforts, who can calculate the
advantages. The display Of good things, Mr..
Editor, was not as large as might have been
made, and am afraid some of our farmers
are not sufficiently alive to the importance and
the value Of that generous rivalry in trying
to bring forward samples Of the best of earth's
productions that ought to be cherished in the
breast Of all. 1t becomes every one to bring
something, to show what he or she has been
doing to improve their condition; and when
any one has discovered cheaper or better
way, in any respect, Of augmenting the COM
forts Of man, or beast. let him come and give
his neighbors the benefit Of il.
The exhibition Of stock was, in quantity,
not by any means what it might have been,
but in quality, highly respectable. The
horses were worth visit without any other
inducement. The sheep were such as have
never been seen here before, and, Oh We
mutton eaters why should We hesitate longer
IN increasing the stock ! A look at the bulls
aud heiiers on the ground proved an evident
tendency in the right direction in that branch
OF husbandry. The display of implements,
though not imposing, manifested degree Of
skill very much to the credit of the produ-
GERS, and farmers should remember that the
pillow, loom and anvil should always be found
together and firmly leagued to each others
maintenance. The people Of Orange, as one
0i her sons remarked is his interesting al :
dress, are almost loo sfeady. They seem to
De altogether unmndful, that when they
come together to examine the results of one
another's labors during each succeeding year,
they are looking at some articles that will
compare iavoiably with the like in any
part OF the world. Nowhere could YOU find
better wheat and flower, or corn. The bacon
and butter. the sweetmeats apd pickles,
were such as Mr.. Fillmore ought to have in
the White House and any man ought to be
proud of the wife or daughter that could do
such needle work. One lady was charged
with buying French worked handkerchief,
by some Goth Of fellow, to exhibit as her
own. But he knows now the French are not
the only people who can so wicld the needle
as to call forth the admiration Of even the
sterner sex. Time would fail me to mention
in detail all the useful and pleasant things
