WoRCE-jTEn (Mass.) Houticlltl'Ral Exiiiiiitiux. — The Horticultural Exliibitioa this year, has 

 boeu eminently successful, in every point of view. The long continued summer droutli, extend- 

 ing even into the autumn, had cnated serious fears of a partifd failure. Many kinds of fruit 

 seriously felt its elTects, especially the Pear, the growth of which seemed almost suspended for 

 some time, yet the subsetiuent favorable weather so nearly recovered them, that the fruit exhibi- 

 tion would compare well in tjualitj- witli that of any former year, while in quantity, it was the 

 largest exhibition ever made b}' tlie Society. We have not space for details, but will merely
