AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

AGRICULTURAL AIN.
The Annual Exhibition of the Meckleuburg
Agricultural Society was held on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday last. Although the weather
was very unfavJrable with great deal OF rain
on Thursday and Friday, the Fair was grand
success-eoual to any ever held.in the State, not
excepting the State Fair at Raleigh. The num-
Der of visitors was very large, and there were ar
tcles on exhibition from all the surrounding coun-
tics and others in n. Carolina and from several
Districts in South Carolina.
The Horses, Cattle, Hogs and other stock were
of superior quality, and we heard gentlemen,
who ought to be good judges, say it was as fine an
exhibition in that line as they ever saw anywhere
Floral Hall and Mechanics Hall were well FILL
ed, and the display of the handiwork of the ladies'
and the work of the ingenious Mechanic, was very
creditable to that class of exhibitors.
988 articles were entered for exhibition.
The Annual Address was delivered in the Court
House on Thursday evening, by Martin P. Craw-
ford, Esq., of Lancaster, S. G. 1t was we'll con-
ceived, and contained profitable information for
the planter and farmer and matter of interest for
every one. A copy of the Address was requested
tor publication.
