LINCOLN COUNTY SOCIETY. 



The Secretary writes me as follows : 



"This Society now embraces 1,150 members, 90 new ones having • 

 been added during the past year. 



Its eighth Annual Exhibition was held at the city of Rockland, on 

 the 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th days of October, and was almost a failure 

 in the stock department, on account of the weather, it having rained 

 every night, and three of the four days of the exhibition. The show 

 in the hall was as good as it has been at any of the previous exhi- 

 bitions, and to the ladies of Rockland the Society is especially 

 indebted for the interest and zeal they manifested that the show in 

 their department should compare favorably with former years. 



To Mr. John Currier, of Waldoboro", the Society is largely 

 indebted, for the largest and finest display of fruit that has ever 

 been exhibited by any member of this society. It included about 

 sixty varieties of apples, fifteen varieties of grapes ; also a large 

 variety of pears, gooseberries, currants, &c. The exhibition of fruit 

 as a whole, was much, the best we have ever had in this county. 



W. S. Brown, Secretary.^'
