NORTH PEXOBSCOT SOCIETY. 



Mr. Patten, acting Secretary, in absence of Mr. Clark, writes me 

 that this Society held its Annual Exhibition at Lincoln, October 5th 

 and 6th, 1859. There was decided improvement in the stock ex- 

 hibited over former years. The show in other departments was 

 highly creditable. There is a demand for more light and knowledge 

 on matters pertaining to agriculture. Thought is more active and 

 discussions more frequent and interesting.
