Mr.. EDI7oR:-Tn passing through the
several towns of the county, we find the
spirit which is this year being evinced in
regard to the great exhibition of the La
noble Co Agricultural Society, which Is
to take place at their Fair grounds near
Morrisgillc, Sept. 18th 18th, 1867, is
highly gratifying. From all parts of the
County we arc receiving accounts of the
great preparations being made by the far
mcrs for the exhibition Of live stock OF
various kinds, and also from several pro-
minent mechanics in diffcrentparts Of the
county. for display of farm implements
and mechanical productions; and oil
agree that tho interest and zeal manifest
ed is beyond any former precedent. We
regard this as positive indication of the
advance of agricultural Improvement; it
shows that the people arc awaked to its
Importance, and that a determined action
is aroused, the beneficial results Of which
caunot fail to be experienced. An i'm
mense interest is evidently awakened
throughout the county in favor of these
meetings, and it is only necessary that
they be properly conducted to ensure
their. great aud permanent usefulness.
There arc, or may be, important adyan-
tagcs of social. may VIC not b. permitted
to say, a pecuni.ry nature, connected
with these annual gatherings Of those de-
voted to the agricultural interest. A free
and familiar intercourse should be had by
farmers on all topics connected with their
calling. The various modes of protect
ing and advancing this interest, the most
important of all interests both in ma
tional and individual sense, should be
freely discussed and understood. AS no
other opportunity is moro favorable, let
the great meeting of the Lamoille County
A Agricultural Society be made an annual
agricultural convention, whore the ways
md means Of advancing the cause Of agri-
culture and the interests herewith con-
lccted shall be fully considered. Let
his plan be adopted and continued, till
! union of feeling and concert of action
lmong this class shall cause their inGu-
ncc to be felt and acknowledged.
From the advantage which these shows
fford for the sale or exchange of animals,
he purchase of implements of husbAndry
md articles of every description, it is
cry desirable that the features Of Fairs
hould be incorporated into the general
ystem of Agricultural Associations. 10
Ii classes it would be convenient, but to
purchasers and breeders of stock the op-
ortunity Of comparing the merits of diff.
crent breeds, herds and particular ani-
lals, and obtaining by purchase or ex- s
hangc such as each one needs to carry c
onward his improvements, would be of t
ncalculablc lcncGt. The Ladies connec- {
Cd with the Agricultural Society are ,
laking great preparations to make tho 6
loral Hall one Of the most interesting 7
,atures of the Fair. For the better &C. /
ommodation of exhibitors and those Wis
ing the Fair, they arc erecting large |
nd eommodious Floral Hall upon the O
air grounds. This ia laudablc enter =,
rise and should be properly appreciated v
y the people Of the county, and their 7
ppeal to the citizens of the county for T
id in building their Hall will be respon- t
. with liberal hand. The ladies pro. h
osc to pay cash premiums on contribu. d
ions to their department. and although r
he contributions to that department OF d
ur former Fairs have been highly cred n
able, yet VIC shall expect to see greater b
nd richer display at the coming Fair q
han at any former one. Y
The Hon. Geo. wilkins, who has con, n
,ntod to deliver the address, is gentle d
ian who is awake to the agricultu- q
Al interests Of tho county; and from his v
ell known reputation as public speak |,
: we venture the assurance that he will |.
raw around him large crowd of admir- Il
lg hearers on that great occasion. c,
