COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES. 
The Fruit exhibition, though smaller than last year, was 
much better than might reasonably have been looked for, owing 
to the unfavorable season. 
Amur Committee would remark, that with the experience of 
the past, in the arrangements of our Society for the future, in 
our opinion, we have Reached the point when we ought to be 
the owners of our Fair Grounds, and those, too, much enlarged 
above their present size. We trust the Society is of the same 
opinion, and that it will manifest this opinion by entering into 
contract for the same as soon as possible. To this we are invi¬ 
ted by the financial condition of the Society, which was never 
so flattering as at present. 
We are happy to state that the Society has been enabled 
to pay promptly all premiums and claims against it, hence we 
feel that our future is bright with hope, and our success no 
longer problematical. 
The following is a true exhibit of the 
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. 
Amount of receipts from all sources,.$631 25 
expenditures,. 589 69

OFFICERS.

In conclusion, we would ask suggestively, if the time has 
not come when we should devote three days to our Annual 
Fair.
