DAHLIA SHOW. 



The commiltco made extraordinary exertions to render this show tho most 

 splendid and attractive of the whedo season, and they fully realized their 

 purpose. The first object which met tho view was a most singular figure on 

 tho right hand lawn : it was that of a Mexican chief, holding a basket of

 taodl of Dahlias, comprising 100 varieties, were sent by Mr. Salter, of
