ONEIDA COUNTY. 



The Fair of the Society, held on the 15th and 16th of October, 

 exceeded those of former years ; and the interest evinced, by attend- 

 ance, was as great as at any previous period. The prosperous condi- 

 tion of the Society is shown by the fact, that $400 have been paid to 

 its treasury by members, which, with the State donation, amounts to 

 $656. The premiums for crops were, on Winter Wheat, 38^ bushels, 

 and 36^ bushels per acre ; on Spring Wheat, 39^ bushels, 37 bushels, 

 and 81 bushels per acre; on Corn, 103 bushels, 98 bushels, and 88

 els, and 59 bushels per acre ; Oats, 96, and 72 bushels ; Carrots, 1120
