 logical" is the feature of the Fair. All who go in are struck 

 with the beautiful evergreens and fine paintings (many of 

 them from Patten's Art Emporium), which materially aid in 

 making it a scene of unrivaled beauty. Crowds, the densest on 

 the grounds, continually throng the hall, yet all are pervaded 

 with a feeling of respect, — of kindness toAvard everybody, 

 which leads to perfect decorum in manners, and the best of 

 behavior. The officers return their thanks most sincerely, for 

 this manifestation on the part of the people. 



The State Pomological Society will be one of the educational 

 powers in it, and all who arc interested (and who is not ?) in 

 the production of the finest kinds of fruit should sustain it, 

 both by their aid during its Fairs, and by becoming members, 

 •either life or annual, and then taking an active part in its 

 graver labors.
