The Far Of the New Castle County Az
TtcutturaI Society. Thirty-second An
nual Exhibition of the New Castle County
Agricultural Society, took place on Tuesday
and Wednesday last. The threatening as
pect OF the weather on Monday and the rail-
on Tuesday morning, had the effect of deter
ing many from bringing their stock, goods
and wares TO the exhibition, and this, to-
gether with total indifference on the part
of some who should be interested in rendering
the effort of the Society successful, conspired
to produces different result. The display was
very small and the number of visitors nothing
like what should have been present. The
managers deserve much credit for the ex-
cellent manner in which all their arrange.
ments were perfected, and had our farmers,
mechanics and manufacturers manifested
half the zeal they did, it would, no doubt
have been one OF the best exhibitions ever
held in the State. Messrs. II. f. Pickles &
Brother, made fine display of stoves
ranges, heaters, and planished ware. Messrs
| Wilson Il Wood, exhibited a number of va
rious patterns of stoves, and improved milk
cans, buckets, &c. The display made by
this firm was large and reflected much Gre
dit on the depositors. Mrs Mcdaniel, No
4l0 Market street, exhibited an elegant u.s.
sortment of boys clothing, which was much
admired by the ladies. Lemon & Co., had
a complete candy mandatory ON the ground
with men engaged in making candy. They
also displayed a number of varieties of can.
dies, cakes, &c, which were very fine.
