THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBI-
TON.
Notice to Farmers and Their Tamilie

|
visitors to Philadelphia, there is ne
class to whom the advantages of The
Exhibition are so important as to the
agriculturalist. The residents of oul
large cities have daily opportunities
more or less extended, for the study
of art and manufactures, as represent
ed in the many large collections con
stantly on exhibition; but to the farm
er, secluded from society in a great
measure, the present opportunity
should not be neglected. A weeks
visit to the Exhibition will give to
himself and family information such
as years of reading and school would
not supply. A week can be easily
and proftably spent, and at no very
great cost. Advantage can be taken
of the Changers Camp, where ex-
penses will not exceed $50 per day;
or, by writing to the Centennial Lodg-
ing House Agency, ROOMS may be
secured in private families at prices
varying from to 10 dollars per
week.
OF course, to the farmer, the Agri-
cultural Hall would be the first object
of attraction; and 4 comparison Of
what the United States has done, in
competition with foreign nations, will
satisfy every American. Capt. Land
reth, Chief of the Agricultural Bureau,
with the object in view of presenting
all matters connected with his De-
partment under the most favorable
auspices, has arranged for
STATED DISPLAYS.
Which under their respective dates,
will be held during the International
Exhibition. Applications for entry
may now be made on forms which
will be supplied by the Chief of
Bureau.
