WASHmGTON COUNTY SOCIETY. 



The Secretary, Wm. D. Dana, writes me: — "Its Annual Exhibi- 

 tion was held at Pembroke on the 28th and 29th days of September. 

 The Cattle Show was a decided improvement upon the last — as to 

 good order, good feeling, and a good time generally ; but was not a 

 success, so far as cash receipts go to make success. Thi^ exhibition 

 showed the results of the efforts to improve stock — Grade Devons 

 being quite plenty, and as handsome as anything of the ox kind can 

 be. As a contrast, a Jersey cow and bull, and some Galloways, 

 were exhibited — not pretty, (as some think,) but good. The influ- 

 ence of the Society for good is plain to any one who will take pains 

 to observe carefully the results of its operations." 



LIVE STOCK. 



Hoi^ses. First premium on stallion, to J. W. Hartford, for a 

 Drew and Tiger horse. 



Best breeding mare, to E. W. Chadbourne. 



Neat Stock. For best bull to Andrew Rogers ; breed not given. 

 For best Devon bull, to W. E. Stoddard. 

 For best one year old Devon bull, to "Wm. D. Dana. 

 For best Jersey (Alderney) bull, to William D. Dana, for one of 

 which he says : 



Alderney Bull, five years old, tliorough bred. — This bull was pre- 

 sented to the N. B. Charlotte County Agricultural Society* by a 

 Mr. Sharp of London, and sent out to St. Andrews in 1856. He 

 ■was kept in St. Andrews till Sept. 1859, when I purchased him 

 and brought him into this county. I know nothing of him, more 

 than that Mr. Sharp in his letter, of which I furnish the committee 

 a copy, describes him as a superior animal, and seems anxious that 

 the county (Charlotte) should avail themselves of his valuable 

 properties. The stock of his get fully sustains his reputation.
