Horticultural Fair at Auburn. — Horticultural exhibitions in June, so as to include Roses, 

 Strawberries, (tc, <fec., appear to be rapidly on the increase. Cayuga county has long been dis- 

 tinguished for her devotion to fruits and flowers. Very much of this is doubtless owing to that 

 truly distinguished and accurate pomologist and horticulturist, David Tuomas, Yvho has long been 

 a resident of that county. 



For the first time that county held a June exhibition on the iVth, and, I am happy to say, 

 f.'om personal observation, that in every respect it was worthy of her sons and daughters. Roses 

 of the rarest varieties, finest specimens, and in the greatest profusion, graced the exhibition. 

 Among the exhibitors I noticed the Messrs. Morgans, Dr. Thompson, and Hrnry "Wells, Esq., of 

 Aurora ; Mrs. E. Throop Martin, of Willow Brook ; Messrs. Graves, Freeoff, S. A. Goodwin 

 John II. Ciiedell, H. T. Dickinson, U. R. Pomroy, 0. W. Wheeler, Mrs. Butler Sheldon, and Mrs, 

 S. Blatchford, of Auburn. Their tables exhibited the largest and best collection of boquets I
