tended to the farmers and mechanics ofCsr
bon and surrounding counties,t to attend this

ticlcs OF their own growth and manufsctura
as will interest the public and illustrate u 0
improvements that are going on in these
branches of American industry. The prizes
above mentioned are open for tho competi-
regulations Of the Society. The design Of
tho Association is TO stimulate all those
who are connected with it to the attainment
of the highest degree Of excellence that can
be reached. 1t is very desirable, therefore,
that the productions Of these two great
classes Of society, should be brought together
so that by comparison, the relative merits
Of the various improvements that haye been
made may be ascertaincd.
Under tho arrangement Of the present
year all articles placed within the inclosurc
for exhibition texcept when they interfere
with the mechanical production Of Carbon
county, will be sold at public sale, without
charge, If the owners desire it, thus reliev.
ing Exhibitors from the labor Of removing
their property, and enable others to supply
themselves with the choicest specimens of
agricultural 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 and
members ofthe various sgricn tural societies
IN Pennsylvania and elsewhere are especi-
ally aad cordially inYted to attend.
