 Prppnrntions arc making for an extensive and in- 

 restinj exhibition. The .\lbany Cultivator says : 

 t IS presumed that the show and fair will be one 

 tlierlo unequalled In the United States, and that 

 e collection of animals, implements, &.c. will be 

 the must satisfactory description." It is seldom 

 St "c deem it expedient to till our columns with 

 names of committees appointed by societies out 

 the State; but since this Society opens its doors 

 competitors from all parts of the land, and as the 

 'ords will be interesting to the intellifrent agri- 

 Iturisls of every State, we should fail to recipro- 

 te tlie liberality of the Society, and should with- 

 Id from many of our readers a valuable reference 

 ge, were we to omit copying the following: —
