Somerville Agricultural Show

The fall show of the township of Somerville Agricultural society was held at Coboconk on the first inst., and was quite as good as usual, although the day was cloudy and threatened rain, which, however, did not fall under after dark. There was a marked improvement in short horn cattle and pigs, which were more numerous and of better quality than at previous exhibition, and the roots and vegetables were remarkably good. As this Society offers three prizes for almost everything, the list is a very long one and in order to save space, which is precious, we omit the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, merely giving the names of the successful competitors in the order in which they took prizes, which will be just as easily understood.
