' , . . - The Annualshow of Live Stock, Mechanical Arts, &c., &c., took place on Friday, the 23rd day of September last. The weather had been any- thing but inviting for several days `previous, especially to persons who visit Annual Exhibitions merely for pleasure, nevertheless there was a large number of people on the ground. A A great number of_useful'Horses and Colts were brought forward to compete for the Society s prizes, but the Directors '-scarcely `think they would be justified in pronouncing them first class. The Horned Cattle were numerous, and it is 0` but justice to state that thestock shown gave `evidence of .a decided improvement, ascornpared 11 with past years; there being distinct breeds to 33 judge from, so that the merits of each particular V` breed could be seen. Your Directors would beg "to refer to` a young Durham Bull, purchased by f` , one of our members at the Provincial Exhibition, when held in Toronto in 1858.

Your Directors are happy. to report that the show of Grain and Dairy Produce was equal to former years, and we might add .that. Spring Wheat was superior; indeed, we believe we are correct in stating that Spring Wheat was more abundant in Northssimcoe in 1859.than for many years previous, (perhaps than any one year) But Hay was almosta failure in `many parts of this riding, and is now selling for almost fabulous prices for this part of the Province. We perceive from the `reports from the Township Branch Agricultural Societies that the loss of the Hay crop this year has caused a much larger breadth of Turnips and other roots to be cultivated. Therefore your Directors feel inclined to believe that the wantof Hay, although it will be felt to an enormous extent, will not be a nal loss to the ,,_u-.-.1 ..........1,.

Another benet the cultivator of the soil will derive in, the portion of land that received extra cultivation to produce a. crop of roots, will next year produce alurger quanty of grain. The Union Ploughing Match, which took place `in October last, appeared to give universal satis- faction.
