WEST PEIN'OBSCOT SOCIETY. 



The Secretary writes me as follows : 



" This Society now embraces 207 members — 9 new ones having 

 been added the past year. 



Its Annual Exhibition was held at East Corinth on the 27th and 

 28th days of September, A. D. 1859. This exhibition was good — 

 fully up to any of the previous ones. The farmers appear to take 

 an interest in the improvement of all kinds of stock and of agricul- 

 tural products, of which there was a good show of the different 

 kinds. I think the Society is exerting a good influence upon the 

 agriculture of this vicinity." 



So far as can be judged from returns made, few, if any, of our 

 county societies are actuated by a more commendable spirit, or bet- 

 ter accomplish their mission, than the West Penobscot ; certainly, 

 in the style and completeness of the returns made to this office, Mr. 

 Batchelder, as Secretary, is excelled by no one.
