The first exhibition OF the Hancock Agri-
cultural Society was held in this town Tues
day and Wednesday of the resent week
The attendance exceeded the expectations
of the most sanguine: and the exhibition of
horses, cattle, farm produce, diiry products,
&C., &c, was highly credit.able to the
county.
We have not time to cnumcrate the arti-
c!cs, but refer our readers to the reports OF
the several Committees, which we shall
publish next week.
The trial of Engines, on Wednesday
awakened much interest Our citizens in
dependent of No. seemed disposed to grant
t. their competitors every facility to ena-
bic them to show what they intended to
do. We do not consider it our place to
Judge as to the result of the trial, but give
tn, decision of the awarding Committee,
whom We have every reason to believe were
good men and true.
The Tigers bore their defeat with good
grace and frankly owned themselves ex-
cellcd. Their gcntlemanly conduct and fine
appearance won for them golden opinions
from all.
As the Tigers were never before beaten,
We anticipate that NJ. l, at some future
time, Il ay expect to hear from them, and
if they are able to retain their laur.ls they
may well be pl ased.
The .Unlon,'' No. 2, after her first play
broke her shackl pin and withdrew
from the contest.
The estimated distance on the perpcndicu-
lar play, was for the Tigers, lS7 feet.
For Zimmerman No. 1872 feet.
Each playing through 800 feet of hose.
At the times of playing, both horizon
tai and perpendicular, the wind was very
high, almost a perfect Oat1b'r gale, and
little WAS expected. of either machine On the
ground; but We have not seen better playing
recorded at any Of the trials this season. =

PASSENGER DISCIPLINE on SufP.
BoARp.-The recent disastrous event OF
the wreck the ste1m hip Austria has
iven rise t. several queries as to the
proper discipline which should b. main
tanned on board passenger ships 10 meet
such an emergency. We take pleasure
in recording the following. Capt. Rob
ert II. Pearson, who commanded the first
st amer on the Pacili: for the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, and carried
the first treasure from San Francisco to
Panama, and who is now the popular
commander of the steamar Joha l.. St.
phcns, has from the commencement
adopted the following plan, Whenever
the vessel unler his charge leaves the
port. he Immediately organizes the male
passengers as follows. A certain num-
Der are regularly drilled to meet the
emergency neccss ary to the cutting away
of the masts; second squad are cxer-
ciscd in launching boats; still a third in
passing buckets Of water IN case of fire.
These different companies are exercised
about two hours each day during the pas
sage. At the end of the VOYAGE Capt. p
calls them together. and in brief speech
compliments them for their duties. THIS
arrangement: not only affords pleasant
exercise for the passengers. but what is
OF more imPor'ance. secures discipline
nee ss4ry in time Of danger.
The prevailing difficulty on board our
