Agricultural Progress.


If wo have ever had a suspicion
that the interest Of our people in ag.
ricultural exhibitions was on the wane.
that their success is to bs measured by
the novelty of the thing, the demons'ra.
tions of the past few weeks have done
much TO correct the mistake Never before
has there been reported 50 great num-
Der and such a variety of successful ex.
hibitions as have been reported for
few weeks past These are from every
part of the country and of every doscrip'
ton from that which represents the na.
ton. down to the township. To our mind
the character Of these shows is fair in
dex Of the spirit which insures agricultu-
raj progress In this respect we are
proud, and more than ever hopeful Of Cur
own county. The show in this place
under the auspices of the county society
was to say the least, one Of its most sue.
oessful demonstrations.
To our mind this show had peculiar
significance, in the fact, that from the
long standing, and from the annual ex-
hlbitions of the institution there could
be to the mass of those interested but
little of pure novelty. To this should
be added the fact that less than the usu.
al means were used to awaken interest
In the community. Tho only conclusion
is that whatever of success res ulted was
the effect of spontaneous causes, and
those which may be relied upon hereaf.
! ter.
One fact of the first Importance was
noticeable, viz. disposition to examine
critically articles of practical USE though
they might have nothing about them
interesting, aside from their practical
value, the shrewduess with which, not
only the good aud bad points of ami.
mails were detected, the sagacity and
interest with which every machinery or
implement from the Mower to the
Pairing machine, which concerned any
department of industry were inspected
were worthy Of observation. From this
it is plain that these annual lessons are
we'll improved, that our agriculturalists
are discovering more intelligence, not
only in the improvement of stock, but
in saving machinery, and every
aid to the production of wealth.
1t is not little remarkable that two
successful exhibitions of this kind, Oh q
large scale should be made in the coun
ty which Of course adds emphasis to
the remarks above. In addition to these
we might mention tue town exhibition
at Lake Dunmore, which we learn, by
the by, was very large and interesting
for single town, We look with no lit
tie interest upon the rise and progress,
of these town societies. Let them BE-
instituted in every town. nffording opor

none of these; but something quite as astonishing
being nothing more nor less than the eclipse of that
respectable and rather ancient landmark of North

AS this not put down in Blum's Almanac, It
rather took The natives by surprise. Now, you will
ask which of the heavenly bodies could have thrown

mountain is quite resort for pleasure seekers in this
warm weather; and deservedY SO. Well, party of
ladies and gentlemen started al very cary hour
from the hospitable mansion of our friend Gillian,
for the purpose of seeing the sun rise from off the
pinnacle of the mountain, which. indeed, is most
glorious sight As soon as they got fairly in view Of
where the mountain ought to have been, 10! it was
gone No mountain was 10 be seen!
Thunder stricken, they stared in each others faces.
They had never seen, nor heard, .ead, of such

WEIGHT OF CoRN-We have frequently had

surement of com bought at Wilmington for this mar
ket, two bushel bags, called, containing on an
average, II bushels. In contrast with this, our at
tenton has Just been called to the weight of lot of
corn just received here from New York. The two
bushe bags weigh 113 bs.-being Sc lbs. to each
bushel of corn and h. for the bag. This is honest;
and there ought to be some authority in Wilmington
to compel sellers to do likewise Observer 25M inst.
This thing of the measurement of corn we know to
be subject Of complaint throughout the interior of
the State and we know, also, that the complaint is
not without reason. The two bushel bags will not
weigh what the law calls for.
But the Wilmington merchants are not the parties
who are primarily chargeable with this. If the two
bushel bags short of what they purport to be-,
they are in nine out of ten, just they were
measured into from board the schooner that brings
the corn 10 this port, as any one may see on the
wharf. If there be deficit, the Baltimore or North
country seller is the party that gains by it. Up in
the Western part of the State we have never heard
any such deficit spoken of as that alleged by the
Observer. Instead of one-e;ghth, the shortness in
weight has usually been stated to US at sixteenth
