day I think tliey fully coped witli our Clucinuati Society, both for 

 fruits and flowers. The attendance upon the exhibition was large, 

 of both ladies and gentlemen. Indeed, it seemed that the former 

 ass?.yed to eclipse Flora herself as to fragrance and beauty, so full- 

 blown, wide spread, gaudy and perfumed were they all. Many of 

 them might charitably be adjudged green-house plants, exotics, 

 touch-me-nots, certainly not farmers' daughters. I looked to find 

 the lilly, modest flower ; but alas ! if there at all, 'twas trodden down,

It will be borne in mind that Louisville is the seat of the next, 

 and fifth annual exhibition of the United States Agricultural Soci- 

 ety, to take place on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th days of Septem- 

 ber. There will be, no doubt, a very large number of really scien- 

 tific farmers in attendance from every portion of the country. All 

 expecting to be present should avail themselves of every informa- 

 tion in their power — the published arrangements and Premium List, 

 especially, and if they intend to enter live stock or contribute in 

 any way to the exhibition, forward such notice, at furtherest by 

 August 23d, to the Assistant Secretary, Col. L. A. Whitely, of 

 Lousville, that arrangements may be made for their accommodation. 

 On the wing, Yours, W. H. 0.

 ness. The frontispiece, the same as the one in this number of the 

 CiNciNNATUS, represents faithfully the intended House and Park, 

 which are to be a little more than half a mile south west of our 

 College, and about a mile north west of Cumminsville. 



The proposed Park is to contain eighty acres — to be purchased 

 and improved by a company — to have a Vegetable garden, Chicken-
