Slate Agricultural Exhibition. The first exhibition of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society took place on \Veil lierodav, 'Thursday and Friday of week before last, in Harrisburg, and it is universal ly conceded that for a first effort, it has never been optall-d in this country. This is the more ermilying to the officers of the Socie ty and the friends of agriculture throughout the State, as they had, at almost'every step to CDColititer the croakers who predicted a disgraceful failure, and the prejudice and want of knowledge of a number of our citi zens in reference to the objects of the Cx lei bition.
