improvements that are going on in these
branches of American industry. The prizes
above mentioned are open for the competi-
tion nf all who choose TO attend under the
regulations of the Society. The design of
the Association is TO stimulate all those who
are connected with il TO the attainment Of
the highest degree 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, 50 that
by comparison, the relative merits Of the
various improvements that have been made
may he ascertained.
Under the arrangement Of the present
year all articles placed within the inclosure
for exhib biton Except when they interfere
with the mechanical production Of Carbon
county, will be sold at public, sale, without
charge, il the owners desire il, thus relieving
Exhibitors IRON the labor Of removing their
property, and enable others TO supply them
selves with the choicest specimens Of sgri-
cultural and mechanical productions. THIS
we think most important feature Of our
Exhibition.
We invite, therefore, all, both at home
and abroad, to attend aud participate either
as exhibitors or spectators, feeling that NINE.

members of the verious agricultural societies
in Pennsylvania AMI elsewhere are espeeial-
ly aud cordially invited tn attend.
