The past season has not been favorable to the growth and 

 maturity of pears, and the crop throughout the County, com- 

 paring it with that of the two or three previous seasons, has 

 been a light one ; consequently the display of this fruit at our 

 annual exhibition was not fully up to the usual standard. 

 Nearly all the pears exhibited were from Gloucester, or vicinity, 

 with one large collection from Marblehead, and smaller ones 

 from Lynn, Danvers, Salem, Essex and Ipswich, a single plate 

 from Newburyport, but not a specimen from Amesbury, Haver- 

 hill, Lawrence or Methuen.
