The Centennial Exhibition.

1t is already intimated that the Aeri-
cultural Department, in the forthcoming
Centennial Exposition" wiK be repre-
sented by every State in the Union. and
represented i'll manner the most thor
ough and complete. The conception is
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 limitlcss ex-
tent OF area-au area not more than COM
mcnsuratc with the future we have pic
turcd to ourselves of the area of agricuI-
ture, we may well give reins to the i'm
aglnatlon while speculating as to the
agricultural @t0U we shall make about
Tins time next year. An attempt on our
part to enumerate the articles, or the
hundredth part of them, intended to be
exhibited in the Agricultural Depart
ment OF the Exposition, would, of
course, be next to absurd. Fruits and
cereals OF every description, from all the
States, 1t may be expected, will consti-
lute prominent and characteristic iea.
lure oil our agricultural display; nor is
IL TOO much TO anticipate that, in this
direction, we shall be able successfully
to compete with the world at large. In
other matters, too, connected with and
dependent upon the cultivation of the
soil, and coming under the head of az.
ricu'ture, we might mention the very
important products of Timbe in its va
rlouS forms and uses of animals domes-
uca,cd and wild; OF animal produces,
Ne. nc, did time or space permit.
suffice 1t to say, that the Agricultural
Exhibition atone, to take place next
year in Philadelphia, will not only be
worth seeing. but roJh going to see.
