the gas was inhaled by number of our
citizens. The exhibition was novel one,

publication by Mr. Needham, we make

Although the difficulties of transporta
ton NAV be an obstacle in sending any

have from Vermont some fine specimens

ment on the original hreei. Our country
furnishes some of the finest working cattle
IN the world, and it is to be hoped we
shall send a specimen of these and other
kinds of stock and poultry. as proof of
what we possess IN this particular.

distinct nationality, surrounded by the
people of Northern and Central Europe,
to many of whom the knowledge Of our
condition is but conjecture, and it is there
fore for our interest that we should give
evidence OF the continuance of our nation
al life as well as our public spirit; and
mainly upon this ground have the very
liberal contributions been made by some
of our patriotic fellow citizens, and the
highest officers of our government have
been deeply interested in the part we are
to take in this exhibition.
