■what notSj and picture frames of leather, very handsome, 

 ■wax-flowers, shcll-^work, a harp made by Miss Gale of am- 

 aranths, pine cones, &c — a cottage, literally moss-covered, 

 by Mrs. Trcfcthcn — a table and some fine pictures, by Miss 

 Sawyer of Brentwood — all these ■were but a part of the 

 abundance of riches. Mr. Morrill's display of silver -was 

 very handsome, and shows that the expense of a journey to 

 Boston, for the purchase of any article in his line, is unnec- 

 essary. Mr. A. J. Hoyt, had a case of bonnets, a la inode; Mr. 

 Piper and Mr. Lyford, of shawls, talmas, cfcc. The orna- 

 mental seemed rather to predominate over the useful, in 

 the ladies' department — but still there were patch-work 

 quilts, rugs, &c., to show that, because you have attended to 

 the one, it is not a necessary consequence that you should 

 neglect the other. The Hall was handsomely lighted, the 

 music fine, tlie attendants gentlemanly and obliging, the ac- 

 commodations made on a liberal and broad scale, and if 

 there were no other good result, the bringing so many people 

 togctlicr, and giving them two such holidays, must go far 

 towards remunerating the officers of the Rockingham Far- 

 mers' Club, for the expense and trouble incurred by them 

 on that occasion. But this is not all; the interests of As:- 

 riculture arc so interwoven with the interests of all classes 

 and conditions of society, that no man, not even the most 

 selfish, can hope otherwise than that the society may con. 

 tinue to prosper, and that every year, the exhibitions may 

 grow as steadily better as they have done, ever since its 

 formation.
