HORTICULTURAL ExHIBITLoN.-The exhi-
bition of the Horticultural Society closed last
evening, the reports of committees were sub
mitted, and the premiums announced, as priut-
ed below. The President of the society, d.
Waldo Lincoln, made brief address, in which
he announced that it was desirable that he
should be superseded in his Office, he having
held the office for some time, and preferring to
give way to a new man. He stated that the
debt of the society was $4,000; $500 had
been paid in the last six months, and as much
more would be paid during the next half year.
His experience led him to believe that the
twelve following varieties of pears were the
best for cultivation :-Rostiezer, Bartlett, Belle
Lucrative, Flemish Beauty, Fulton, Seckel,
Beurre Bose, Winter Nelis, Doyenne Bonsock,
Buerre d'Anjou, Louise Bonnie de Jersey, and
Duchesse.
