■Awards were made uj^on the several varieties of hordes, cattle? 

 sheep, swine and poultry, and upon domestic manufactures, im- 

 plements, fruits, flowers, &c. Now the result of the whole exhi- 

 bition was in the highest degree encouraging, and will not be lost 

 in its influence upon the county. Already has a notice been 

 given for the formation of a county agrj.cultural society, and 

 there is little doubt that an effectual one will be organised.

ALLEGANY. 



The annual fair and cattle show of the Allegany county Agri- 

 cultural Society was held at Angelica on the loth September, 

 1852, and was attended by a large number of the citizens of the 

 county, and there appeared to be an increased anxiety on the 

 part of the farmers for the prosperity of the society. The show 

 of bulls, cows, heifers, oxen, steers, fat cattle, calves, shrep,hogs,' 

 fowls, &C.J of butter, cheese, maple sugar, garden vegetables, 

 honey, fruit, flowers, &c., was gratifying to all. The show of 

 •stud horses, matched and working horses, mares, colts, &c., was 

 better than on any former occasion. The show of domestic manu- 

 factures was fully equal to any former exhibition, and showed 

 that the ladies contributed their full share in keeping up the in- 

 terest of the society.
