being our first visit to that place, We must
say we were surprised, for we did not sup
nose there WAS such beautiful spot in the
county. The lake is beautiful clear sheet
OF water, about one and one-haf miles long
and nearly a mile wide, its shores have
nice sandy beaches, and there are two or
three fine groves of trees. Arrangements
had been made, and large awning was
spread in one of the groves, tables were
erected, and every thing was done to en-
sure q pleasant time. The name-Frog
lake-was not considered an appropriate
one for such beautiful SPOT, and it was
decided to change it, it was therefore re-
solved to call it lake Richardson" as a
compliment to one of our oldest and most
respected citizens, the Hon. r. NJ. Rich
ardson. The name is proper one, as
Uncle RUDE as he is famliary called, is one
of our oldest settlers, and it is but de
serving compliment to him and one of
which he is justly proud, as it was the
unanimous wish of the representative men
of the county assembled there on that oc-
casion, that it should henceforth bear his
name At Foss's Lake good time was
had, and the programme as arranged by
Mr.. Foss was carried out to the letter, and
nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the
day; everything was harmonious and agree
able, and all had thorough days enjoy
ment, the young folks danced fished and
hirted. the old folks sat in the shade, and
enjoyed themselves looking in. In the eve
ming large party assembled in Goods
hall, and closed the days festivities by a
dance. We have never seen larger as.
semb)age in this town, nor do we remem.
Der of ever seeing lot of people enjoy them
selves more thoroughly; and we must com
plilnent the managers by saying that the
success of the evening was due in q meas
ure to their efficient management The
music was of better class than we gen
eraly have, and we hope the band boys
will make still greater efforts, as the en-
joyment Of All evening depends good dea1
on the music. There were about sixty Ave
couple present, which is Il large number
for place of this size. The supper wa:
at the Perkins House and twelve O'Clock
those who wished went there, and filled
their acting voids with the many goot
things friend Perkins had prepared. 1ht
dance was kept up till nearly day break
and it was considered by all present tina
they never had a more enjoyable time
The fourth heretofore has been q wild day
in this town. but there was no trouble Of
any description, and with the exception Of
one or two boozey individuals, every thing
was pleasant, and we do not know bu
more enjoyable than had there been an at
tempt at big display.

AGRICULTURAL.
Farm Producs. at earis

The Washington Commissioner of Agricul-
ture has published circular, in which he
SAYS be has undertaken TO collect and prepare,
as Tar as practicable and with as little delay as
possible suitable specimens of the agricultu-
raj productions of the several States aud Ter
rltories OF the Union at the Paris Exhibition.
de therefore proposes 70 accept from any
source. specimens of native fertillZlng materl-
ais, OF vegetable products OF every description,
capable of ready preservation aud exhibition,
and OF Material manufactured from such prod
ucts. They will include intermediate p Cd
ucts of the methods of manufacture, which
may be so arranged as to show, as far as pos
sble, by means of these, the processes in-
volved. The classification of materials
adopted by the department is as follows:
Flrst-Native fertiZng materials.
Second-Raw products of States and Terri.
tories, to be arranged with special reference to
the locality of growth or production.
ThlId-Materials, raw and manufactured.
to be especially arranged to illustrate the
methods of utilization and manufacture of
Agricultural products.
Fourth-Plans of methods of farming, irri-
CATION, fruit culture, &c.
Fifth Working models of machinery and
apparatus employed in the utiliz .ton of agri-
cultural products. Expenses of transporta-
ton to Washington must be prepaid by con-
tflouters, out Tor packages the weight OF
which will not exceed the limit allowed by
law, for mailab!e matter -four pounds), the
department will fcrnish. on application, post
age to prepay the expense of transmission
through the mails. After the arrival of goods
at this point, the department will take charge
OF them until their return to this country.
The exposition will be opened May l., and it
is therefore necessary that all material for ex-
hibition shall be delivered there before March
B. Persons desiring to contribute material
should, therefore, communicate the fact at
once, 10 order to avoid further delay. The

Noteworthy New Roses.

OF all the new roses annually sent to this
country from Europe only very small num-
Der ever prove worthy of second years trial.
As the teas appear TO be coming into fashion
on account of their many excellent qualities,
we append list OF the cream of those tested
by trustworthy rosarian:
Marie Galllot is truly first-class rose and
the best of its color in our collections. 1t is
pure white, OF large size and very fragrant.
Perles des Jardins, variety of the highest
promise in this Country, as we'll as abroad, is
grand deep yellow tea, holding its bloom
well up, great consideration in tea roses.
1t gives Que an idea of Marshal Mel and
Madame Facot mixed. Nine. Devacoutt is
the way of Isabella Sprunt, only better and
should it prove to be as free blooner we
shall have a great acquisition. The flowers
are large, double and of bright canary gel
low. Tue fragrance is very decided. Nine.
Cene Berthod is another grand new rose of
good form and substance and of deep, clear
yellow color. 1t is OF very large size aud ex-
ceedngly fragrant To these we might add
as being especially worthy of notice, Aline
Ssley and MARQUIS de Stamina. The. former
is OF a rare shade of violet red, large, double
anu sweet, and forms beautifully intoxicated
buds. The latter is copper yellow, with a
bright rose centre, and is very double aud es-
pecially sweet.
Tea roses, to succeed properly, should be
lifted in the autumn, potted and placed in a
cool pit or cellar during wiuter. The practice
of forcing them in warm room is not to be
recommended, as all vegetation delights in a
season of rest. If one cesires to have flowers
during the winter months, it is all very well !;
but the same plants should not be expected
to do double du'y-boom all the year round.
