EE — CENTRE FARMER. BELLEFONTE, PA., NOVEMBER, 1876. A LIST OF AWARDS. At the regular meeting of the Exec- utive Committee, held on Friday, the 13th instant, it was resolved to apply the rules of the Society, as published in our issue of September. This has the effect of cutting off some of the premiums awarded, and for the benefit of those interested the publishing com- mittee was instructed to re-publish the rules, which will be found below. We notice that among the first batch who were struck off for failing to comply with the rules, are President Woob- wARD, and Chairman of Executive Committee, BEAVER. While Mr. Taompsox's failure to furnish the pedigree of his bull pre- vents him from receiving the premium, his animal is a very fine one, and merits all the praise bestowed upon him. Capt. Hunter, of the Executive Committee, also, fails to receive a pre- mium because of neglect to furnish pedigree, but has the satisfaction of posessing the best Berkshires in the county. The pen of Chester Whites exhibited by Mr. Garrick, and the four shoats exhibited by Mr. BryaxT, could not be awarded premiums be- cause they did not “fill the bill,” but were very meretorious and deserve the diploma awarded them by the judges. A large proportion of the samples displayed in class 13 were very credit able, but all the exhibitors had failed to comply with the conditions, and are therefore out. In this time of “small potatoes,” Messrs. SHAFFER, UNDERCOFFLER, Hoy and Foster, are to be congratulated. Dr. Haves proposes to solace himself with onions. G. W. F. Gray will winter on bean soup, and Messrs. Havpr and CorNmanN will stimulate with pumpkins and turnips. Mr. Eckrey carried off the honors in fruit, but must yield the palm for orchards to Messrs. Grove and GiLLI- LAND, as will be seen by Dr. CaLDER'S report, which will be found under class 16. The buggies and carriages exhibited by Mr. Krape were much admired, and the only reason he did'nt get all the diplomas was that McQuistiaN was on hand and “held him level.” In class 20 the home-made cooper- ware exhibited by Mr. Carzer, was very meretorious, and the spittoon and chain carved by Mr. Wxaver, evi- denced patience and ingenuity. Our oid friend DAN’ Derr had a beautiful lot of samples of different kinds of wood neatly turned and polished. Mr, SAM'L BruceGer, of Unionville, had a “collection of the native woods of Cen- tre county arranged to show the an- nual growth ;” which was worthy bf special attention. There were seventy- eight different species, all natives of the county excepting the apple and the weeping willow—two each, and all carefully arranged and properly labelled with both botanical and common names. Of course Messrs. Derr and BrucGer both won the pre- miums offered, and their collections become the property of the Society. In this connection we desire also to commend Mr. Bruceer’s display in class 28, consisting of a model of rail- road bridge, and a collection of the land and fresh water shells of Centre specimens of | No county, some 40 varieties being repre- sented. Mr. BruGGer deserves, and ~ Jwe hereby tender him the thanks of the Society for the pains and trouble he took to make an interesting and valuable exhibition. JonN Powers and Gramam & Son, booted each other vigorously, and, as will be seen by reference to class 21, are both winners. Miss Minnie WEBB and Miss Katie SHAFFER, both under 16 years of age, were the successful competetors in bread and butter, and we trust they will maintain their reputations, at least until we have an opportunity to endorse the judgment of the committee at their own tables. Miss Mary KrLeprPER, but twelve years old, exhibited a very creditable patchwork quilt, while Mrs. C. G. Ry- MAN, at the other end of life's journey, presented a case of skeletonized leaves, which attracted much attention. In the same class Mrs. ABRAM SuUssMAN'S embroidered pillow shams, and Miss Luca Meuk's canvass tidy were notic- able. The fire (?) acreen exhibited by Mrs. Beaver was beautiful. In “fine arts and penmanship,” Mrs. B. B. ELse made the largest exhibit and carried off the greatest number of premiums. Miss Grace E. Doun- HAM'S specimen of penmanship was very meretorious, and Master Harry BaANEY's picture was worthy of an ar- tist of more than eleven years. The carbonized stone and pipe of Mr. Snook seemed to be a very com- mendable article. The only ‘“centen- nial” exhibit which came under our notice was Gen. WasHINGTON'S spur, exhibited by RaNpoLrr NIGHTINGALE. LIST OF AWARDS OF AGRICUL- TURAL SOCIETY. Class 1,— Horses for General Use.

W. GEpHEBART, Seer’y Centre Co. Agriculitral Society.—Dear Sir: I would report that in accordance with the appointment given me, I examined all the orchards which were named ag competing for premiums. For the first—*of over twenty years”—but one was named, that of Samuel Gilliland. It contains 74 trees which are generally of good varieties, clean and thrifty. It is 33 years old and probably is better than any other of that age, in this section. Three were named as competing for the gecond premium: 1. Daniel Grove, 179 thirifty, clean, well- shaped, free from worms. Planted in 1864—8. A model orchard. 2. Wm. B. Eckley, 84 trees. A fine orchard, bat inferior to No.1, Planted in 1868. FOREET rr ctrerssssiosissinrinsasnssonetpensariss 75° 3. Sam'l Gilliland, 112 trees. Planted in 1550. Above the average, but inferior to No.’s Yours truly, JAMES CALDER, Com. on Orchards.
