The committee cannot conclude this report without awarding their 

 mead of unqualified approbation to the gentleman whose name stands 

 opposite No. 29; he having exhibited samples of grain of very su- 

 perior quality, comprising superior specimens of sweet table corn, 

 and a sample of extra fine wheat. As we do not feel authorized to 

 adjudge a valuable premium for small samples, we recommend that 

 a diploma be filled up, containing a summary of tie articles alluded 

 to, as an honorable memento to the exhibitor. We are also con- 

 strained to admire some fine samples of wheat, containing eleven 

 varieties, with oats, millet, canary bird seed, &c. which stands un- 

 der No. 63, and recommend that the exhibitor be furnished with a 

 diploma containing a list of the articles above enumerated, as an ho- 

 norable memorial for his efforts in the cause of agriculture.
