Society. The contributions of the products of female taste and 

 skill were as numerous and beautiful as on former years, showing 

 the attention of the sex is devoted to the cause of agriculture by 

 their mode of adorning its exhibitions with such specimens as at- 

 tract a crowd of admirers. The display of flowers far surpassed 

 that of any former exhibition. The Society was much indebted to 

 a new contributor in that department, Mr. Hunnewell of Need- 

 ham, whose display of exotics, in great variety, seemed to sur- 

 pass in beauty any one ever before presented in this section of 

 the country. The day of the exhibition turned out to be as per- 

 fect as could be for the comfort of the spectators and the purposes 

 of the show, and we are happy to state that the result was seen 

 in the acknowledgment of the treasurer as to the receipts of the 

 day.
