Fcra; CucmrBERS. — Some friend sent us in the 

 spring four cucumber seeds, which were represented 

 as being very fine, only one of which grew. On 

 this vine we now have a fine show, the cucumbers 

 when fit to pick averaging fourteen inches in 

 length and nine in circumference. They appear 

 to be very similar to a variety we have seen in 

 England, but of which we had not been able to 

 procure seed. 



New York State Fair.— The State Fair for the 

 present year will be held at Utica, on the 7th, 8th, 

 9th and 10th of September. Persons may become 

 members of the society by the payment of gl, 

 which will admit himself and family to the exlii- 

 bition during the continuance of the show. Single 

 tickets, admitting one person, once, 12^ cents. 

 Members of the society will be admitted to the 

 grounds on Wednesday, the 8th, and on Tliuraday 

 the grounds will be open to the public, and con- 

 tinue open two days. 



Exhibitors must become members of the society, 

 and have their articles and animals entered on 

 the Secretary's books on or before Monday, the 

 6th September, and all articles and animals, except 

 horses, must be brought into the enclosure as early 

 as Tuesday noon, in order that they may be suit- 

 ably arranged. Horses will be received early 

 Wednesday morning, but must be entered pre- 

 viously. The Secretary desires ell entries for- 

 warded to him previous to the 4th of September, 

 that he may be able to print a full Catalogue pre- 

 vious to the Exhibition. 



Forage and water will be furnished for stock 

 free of charge, and grain for pigs and. poultry. 



Persons desiring accommodations for stock will 

 have provision made on application to John But- 

 TERFiELD, of Utica. Mr. B. will also take charge 

 of all articles directed to his care, and provide for 

 tlieir delivery at the Show Ground, if notice is 

 given and provision made for the expenses. 



A Quick and Pleasakt Trip. — On the morning 

 of the 19th ult, we left home at 6 o'clock in the 

 morning, took a seat in the cars of the Niagara 

 Falls Rail Road at half past six, and a few minutes 

 after seven found ourselves very pleasantly located 

 at the breakfast-table of our friend, H. P. Norton, 

 of Brockpoi't — cnjd^ed a very pleasant visit 

 with Mr. N. and his am'able and intelligent wife, 

 examined his fine garden, admired the beautiful 

 flowers and well kept trees, feasted on his deli- 

 cious summer pears, looked at Mrs. N.'s excellent 

 currant wine, (only looked of course) — visited the 

 model p;aeh and pe.ir orchards of Austin Pinnet, 

 of Clarkson, to see which are well worth a trip 

 to Clarkson, and returned and wrote this article, 

 before half past ten ; thus having crowded abaut 

 forty miles of travel and a week's enjoyment into 

 four houra We live very fast in tliese railroad 

 times.
