AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS
The committee on Agricultural Imple
ments would respectfully report that in the
absence of four members of the committee,
as published, the chairman selected Noah
Musser, George Otenkirk, J. Lingle and
Wm. Foster, to serve in their stead.
The committee proceeded to examine
the several articles in their department as
they found them entered in the book
placed in their hands, and give the follow
ing as the result of their examination :
It is proper to remark that the display
was not as extensive as might have been
expected, nor as much so as it is hoped
will be made at the next Fair, and there
fore did not attract the attention of visitors
generally; yet the exhibition was quite
creditable.
The main competition seemed to be be
tween the agents of Reapers and Mowers,
and with regard to the merits of the sever
al machines there was a divinity of opin
ion. We award a diploma to the three
following, in the order named :
Peter Holier—the Excelsior Combined
Reaper and Mower, , manufactured at
Akron, Ohio. Price $l9O.
Isaac Haupt—the World Reaper and
Mower combined. Manufactured at
Ohio. Price, $47).
S. G. Shannon—the Keystone Harvester,
Reaper and Mower, manufactured by the
Centre Hall Manufacturing •Company.
Price, $lBO..
The committee deem it unnecessary to
speak more particularly of the two first
named machines, as they • are both well
known in this community, and justly rank
among the best manufactured in the Uni
ted States.
The agent of the "Keystone Harvester,"
an implement manutitctured at Centre
Hall, in this county, claim several iniprove
snouts which your committee were of Lhe
opinion were entitled to consideration.
It is hilly probable that by another year
this establishment will be able to offer a
machine that wilt be creditable to the
owners. and perhaps inferior to none now
in use.

tor, (Guier's patent), diploma; Hay liake,

and Fertilizer, diploma.

exhibited by C. Dale, jr., of Logan's Mills;
and the other called the "Cat's Claw," ex
hibited by J. PAunvt, of Zion, were ex
.-.
amined by your committee, and both were
pronounced improvements on those they
had previously seen. The majority were
of the opinion that the grab machine was
best suited for hoisting hay, particulariy
when short or wet. We award to C. Dale,
the premium, St
A number of other articles were on ex
hibition, for which no premium was oiler
ed, but which the committee think worthy
of notice, as follows :

The committee on Fruit submit the fol
low; la; ievo:r. That they met and exam
toverai va:ieties on exhibition am
hoe gianted prem . :ants to the ibllowinr
C Da!e, for the best and larges
v.i Of 11 1 /111'..'..3 2 Agv!ealtaral
T. IL Thmert, for the best twelve varie
ties of apples not less Lima six each, Amer
lean At:ricalturalist.
JosePh Baker, for the best and larger ,
display . of fruit, $5,00.
Joseph Baker, best varieties of grapes
$2,00.
The committee expresses their regret
that so few persons have taken an inter
est in the culture of fine varieties of fruit.
'the quantity of fruit on exhibition was
small, but the qualities very good, taking
into consideration the almost total failure
of the crops this year.
Mr. Christian Dale, had on exhibition
upwards of twenty varieties of apples,
prominent among which are found the
"Northern Spy, Rhode Island Greening,
Hub bardstones Nonesuch" with other sorts
equally line aue profitable.
The apples exhibited by T. B. • Rupert,
were large and smooth, with fine flavors
and hardy appearances.
Mr. Baker, showed us eighty varieties of
apples, eight varieties of pears, and three
of grapes. He also had strawberries, peach
es, quinces, water-melons and mask mel
.ons, making the largest variety of fruit ex
hibited by any one person.
Mr. Elias Zimmerman, also exhibited
twenty-live varieties of apples, some ofthem
were of the best qualities, but others show
ed the effect of the unfavorable season.
Our attention was called to live varieties
of apples exhibited by Hezekiah Hoy, they
made a line appearance, but not a sufficient
number to justify the cmmuittee in making
an award.
There was also a fine display of apples,
by Mr. Riddle, giving rise to discussion as
to the merits of the varieties compared with
some others on exhibition. But it was
found upon examination, that Mr. Ruperts
collection, represented a larger quantity of
the liner varietes, and the premium was ac
cordingly awarded to him.
Mr.. Derr, exhibited one dozen of Quin
ces, but as no provision had been mhde in
regard to premiums upon Quinces, the com
mittee did not feel justified in making au
award.
The committee hope and expect that at
the next annual exhibition, more attention
will be manifested in their fruit department,
and an attempt made to enlarge the dis
play.
Committee—John Hamilton, Adam Hess
Dr. E. J. Dreschler.
The Executive Committee approve the
above report, and award to Danl. Derr, for
the best 12 Quinces, the Practical Farmer.

cide any particular parcel to excel the rest.

the most diligent and persevering search.
There was one very beautiful hand boquet
on exhibition, but it was not labelled, and
the committee could do nothing more, on
that account, than give this notice.
After the committee had made their ex
amination, and directed itt the premises,
but before making up the report, a very
handsome boquet was placed on exhibition
by Mrs. J. N. Hall, but it was too late to
receive any other notice from the commit

CA-BLVET WARE
The committee on Cabinet Ware most
respectfully report, that the display was of
the most meagre discription, their being but

The Chinese Government having (through
the Hon. Anson Burlingame) conceded to this
Company the,privilege of connecting the great
seaports of the Empire by submarine electric
telegraph cable, wopropose commencing oper
ations in China' and laying down a line of
nine hundred miles at once, between the fol
lowing ports, viz :
Canton
Micoa
Hong-Kong.
Swatow
Amoy
Foo-Chow...
Wan-Chu....
Ningpo
Hang Chean
Shanghai....
Total
Theso ports have a foreign commerce of
5900,090,000, and an enormous domestic
trade,besides which we have the immense in
ternal commeroo of the Empire, radiating
from these points, through its canals and nav
igable rivers.
The cable being laid, this Company propo
ses erecting land lines, and establishing a
speedy and trustworthy means 4of communica
tion, which must command there, as every
where else, and of social life, especially in
China. She has no postal system, and her
nly means now of communicating informa
on is by couriers on land, and by steamers I
on water.
Tho Western World knows that China is a
very largo country. in the main densely peo
pled; but few yet realize that she contains
more than a third of the human race. The
latest returns made to her central authorities
for taxing purposes by the local magistrates
make her population Four hundred and Four
teen Millions, and this is more likely to be
under than over the actual aggregate. Near
ly all of these, who are over ten years old, not
only can but do read and write. Her civili
zation is peculiar, but her literature is as ex
tensive as that eir.nrope. China is a land of
teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early informa
tion. It is observed In California that the
Chinese make great use of the telegraph,
though it there transmits messages in English
alone: if the telegraph we propose, connect
ing all their great seaports, wore now in ex
istence, it is believed that its business would
pay the cost within the next two years of its
successful operation, and would steadily in
crease thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as in a
greater degree remunerative to eapitalists,
and to our whole people. It is of a vast na
tional importance commercially, politically,
and evangelically.
Aft - The stock of this Company has been
unqualifiedly recommended to capitalists and
business men, as a desirable investment by
