WHAT THE FARMERS ARE DOLNG.
Among the various working committees
ot the coming Fair, the labors of few, j!
indeed Of any, are more oDevous than that
OF the committee on agriculture. To this
co~mittee is confded the duty of solicit
irg contributions of the Products Of The
Firm and the Farmers Household, in the
three States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware, and the system OF opera
tions which has been adopted is so com
plete that wheE carried out, not only ey-
cry county but every township, however
remote is reached, IFS inhabitants inform
ell Of the objects of the commission, the
friends OF the soldier, organized, their
contributions collected, forwarded to a
central po'nt cony enient TO a railroad, aud
finally transported without expense to
contributors, to the warehouse in this city.

secured is so simple and yet so efficient,

sixteen were from Pennsylvania, eight
from New-J ersey and five from Delaware,
making with the chairman thirty in all.
