"TTE WORLD" AND ITS WORK,

Those of our Democratic friends who
desire to subscribe for 4 New York
Paper will find none that equals The
World in ability, or that 80 fearlessly
and clearly advocates Democratic
principles. In the news from all parts
of the world, it is complete, and its
editorials on all subjects arc vigorous
and logical. TO the farmer it is un.
valuable: teaches him many things
shat tend to promote his best interests
which he sorcly needs his eyes opened
to. The World is now doing a great
work in behalf of the Democratic party,
and should be fully sustained. IL Bins-
hamton Leader.

The Centennial Exhibition.

1t is already intimated that the Agri-
cultural Department, in the forthcoming
Centennial Exposition" will be repre-
scented by every State in the Union, and
represented in manner the most thor
ough and complete The conception is
a grand one, and implies an aggregate OF
agricultural products the sight of which
will be we'll calculated to astOnish visitors
of the Exhibition, whether from our own
or other lands. Calling to mind our
country'S almost limitleSs extent Of area
an area not more than commensurate
with the future We have pictured to our
selves Of the area Of agriculture, We may
well give reins to the imagination while
specializing as to the agricultural shoe we
shall make in July next year. An at
tempt on our part to enumerate the arti-
cles, or the hundredth part of them, In
tended to be exhibited in the Agricultural
Department Of the Exposition, would, OF
course, be next TO absurd Fruits and
cereals of every description, from all the
States, it may be expected, will constitute
a prominent and characteristic feature of
our agricultural display; nor is 1t too
much to anticipate that, in this direction,
We SHALL be able successfully to compete
with thc'world at large. In other mat
tiers, too, connected with and dependent
upon the cultivation of the soil, and COM
ing under Of the head of agriculture, we
might mention the very important pro-
duets Of Timber in its various forms aud
uses; Of animals domesticated aud
wild; Of animal products, &c, &c, did
time or space permit. Suffice it to say
that the Agricultural Exhibition
aloRs, to take place next year in Phila-
delphia, will not only be worth seeing, Jlst

out to find work outside for all the fair

for the remainder Of this year. In addi-
ton to these we have mentioned, there
are many other necessary things to be

reads these remarks, and we would urge
him to lose no opportunity in preparing
now for that season when he must Of
