r AoRicULruRAL SocIErY. The directors
of this society met in Bel Air, on Saturday
last, and after some consultation adjourned
to meet again on Saturday, the 18th Of June.
In the meantime, the Directors urge all per-
sons who have been appointed for that pur-
pose to go theoretically to work soliciting
subscriptions to the stock, and report the
same to the adjourned meeting.
So far the prospects of establishing success.
full society are good, and they have met with
much encouragement. Already about $500
has been subscribed, and this, too, without
much effort, No grounds for holding their
fairs have yet been selected, but will, we
think, at an early day. This movement is
one of importance, and deserves success
No county in the State is now improving so
rapidly as this, particularly in raising stock,
and under the circumstances, a society is of
the first importance.

The SUsqUEHANNA TRADE.-The Wrights-
vile Star says there is great activity among
the lumber, lime and coal dealers, and that
the shore is lined with timber and lumber
RATS. The boating business, says our cotem-
porary, has been unusually active this season.
The Canal Company to avoid delay in cross
ing boats between Columbia and Wrights-
vile, have commenced running their tow
boats night and day, making trips at all
hours, In referring to the up-river fisheries
the same paper says:
sour fishermen at the dam and short dis
lance below ID have been unusually successful
during the past week in catching this priced
inhabitant oftbe Susquehanna. On Tuesday
last we were informed that upwards of one
thousand were caught at Mud Island besides
the number at other batteries, which reached
the hundreds. This success will no doubt
tend to reduce the price of shad, and place
them within The reach of everybody.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE RoADs-The Coun-
ty Commissioners gave notice last week by
advertisement in our columns, to all supervi-
sprs Of roads who have received warrants,
that they work the roads assigned them as
soon as possible" This is, without question,
the proper season of the year to make the
necessary repairs on our county roads. Work
done now, it is we'll known, is durable, and
by the time the winter weather is upon us,
has settled SO far as to resist the action of the
frost more efectually than work done in the
fall We are informed that some of our su-
pervisors have already commenced their re-
pairs, and hope that the good example will
be generally followed
