GENESEE. 



The first exhibition of the Genesee County Agricultural Society, 

 under its new organization, took place Oct. 8th, 9th, and lOtli. 

 it attracted by far tlie largest gathering of people ever witnessed 

 in tliis county on any similar occasion, and was in every respect 

 higlily successful, and reflected credit upon its ofiicers. Visitors 

 seemed pleased with tlie display, pleased with themselves and 

 delighted with their neighbors. 



The occasion was imj)roved to compare the products of skill 

 and labor, to gain valuable information, to excliange civilities, to 

 form new acquaintances and io revive old friendsliip. The 

 weather was most j)ro])itious, not a cloud obscuring the sky on 

 either day, and the temijcraturc of the atmosphere most favorable.
