&D-A general invitation is hereby ex

Exhibition, and bring with them such ar
ticles of their own growth and manufacture
as will interest the public and illustrate the
improvements that are going on in these
branches of American industry. The prizes
above mentioned are open for the competi
tion Of all who choose 10 attend under the
regulations of the Society. The design Of
the Association is to stimulate all those who
are connected with it to the attainment Of
the highest degres of excellence that can be
reached II is very desirable, therefore, that
the production OF these two great classes OF
society, should be brought together, so that
by comparison, the relative merits Of the
various improvements that have been made
may DO ascertaned.
Under the arrangement Of the present
year all articles placed within the uelosure
for exhibition (exeept when they interfere
With the mechanical production OF Carbon
county, will be sold at public sale, without
charge, il the owners desire it, thus relieving
Exhibitors from the labor Of removing their
property, and enable others to supply them
selves with the choicest specimens Of agri-
cultural and mechanical productions. This
we think a most important feature Of our
Exhibition.
We invite, therefore, all, both at home
and abroad, to attend and participate either
as exhibitors or spectators, feeling that none
will be disappointed. The officers aud
members of the vesious agricultural societies
in Pennsylvania and elsewhere are especial
ly and cordially invited to attend.

able on Thursday, then the Fair will be
continued on Saturday.
