One ot the most successful under takings of the character ever held was the impromptu lair of to-day. Itut a few weeks ago the suggestion was made, and to-day was held one of the best exhibitions of llm Thomas Coun ty Agricultural Society. There were near otic hundred and filly entries. The display of vegeta bles excelled atu. thing of this kiud that has ever been witnessed iu lower Georgia, and will go far to dissipate the miserable conclusion that We are unable to raise cabbage, corn and po tatoes. The collection tvould have done credit to any city market, where vegetable growing is made a specialty. There wcie six contestants for the premium upou babies. Of course tiv mothers have a poor opinion of the taste of that committee. They never had any children ot their own, and how could they judge impartially iu a matter of this kind, one would argue. Another thought it was all a humbug anyhow. She never iuteuded to come back there agaiu. is strange how newspaper men can make one believe that they are competent for anything. In this af fair Majoi Bryan anti Captain Triplett were tlic moving men. They «ent to work to make it a success, and they have succeeded. The editorial fraternity was well represented. There were on hand Col. Filds, of tin: Quitman Banner, Pendleton, of the Valdosta Times, Ma jor Gallaher, of the Quitman Indentnd- ent, Frank Evans, ot the Albany Aries, Col. S. \V. Baker, of the Blackshear (ifirepan, Mr. Sullivan, of the Savan nah Independent, and Taylor, of the Milledgeville Recorder. So far ns I can learn they deported themselves admirably. Col. Baker is a philoso pher, and we make u distinction thus- ly : The Fair at Thomasville is one tiling and the Thomasville fuir very different thing. The floral display excelled every former display ever made iu Thomas ville. As the report of the committe shows, it was haul to tliscrimiiiub favor of any one individual. The whole arrangement in this department was a success. But the best of all the displays was that made about dinner time. Your correspondent having been on the com mittee lo decide ou lunch baskets, his appetite was well whetted for dinner, and, under the direction of Mrs. Dr, Clower,"lie was led like a sheen to the slaughter,” but unlike the "sheep be fore iu shearers," he was not dumb, but opened his mouth frequently. It was altogether a plcasaut d; the vast crowd, save the rain in evening. There were large crowds from Bainbrulge. Quitman. Valdosta. Boston ami elsi where along the line ot the Gult ltoad.

It was a spieudid adveitisement lor the city, aau shows enterprise and shrewdness upon the part of those getting it up. The best order prevailed, and but little drunkenucs visible to the public eyc. Crops were the chief subject of con versation. anti 1 believe that the gen eral testimony w as very encouraging and a fine crop this year. I am under special obligations to CapL Triplett, Chairman ot the Com mittee of Arrangements, for special favors, and the citizens generallv for their kindness ; and when they iia>e another fair, may I be there to’ see. Simon. {From th* Valdosta Times. Thomasville Horticultural Fair.—The Horticultural and Flor al Fail at Thomasville last Friday was a decided succes*. The collection of vegetables were superfine in the strict est sense of the word. We were really agreeably suiprised to see that our sis ter county could, with three or four weeks notice, produce such a variety and quality of the^ things to tempt a man’s appetite. We have only to re- § ret that a larger number of farmers id not go aud see what Thomas coun ty is doing in the gardening line. A day spent there discussing these mat ters—interchanging views in asocial way, would uot only have been very pleasant but highly beneficial to all parties. Ia order to keep pace with e age. think we know it all, hut most occa sionally stir ont among our neighbors and learn what they know and add it to our stock and we will find that we are wiser than before. The Floral department tvas equally as tine a success, but, for the want of space we leave this to be pufled by the more apnreciative minds ef Jno. Gor man and Capt. Triplett. (From Hie Independent.

This was certain ly very liberal on the part of the citi zens of Thomasville ; but it will ulti mate prove an advantage to them.— For the season of the year, the various collections of vegetables excelled.any- thing we have ever seen. The floral Exposition was bewitch- ingly grand, excelling anything in that department we have ever seen. Every plant in the hot-house depart ment was so judiciously arranged as to render each flower conspicuous.— The cut flowers in beauty, variety ar tistic arrangement transcends our powers of description. To the modest wreathes, the brilliant flashing boquet, the towering and majestic pyramids and crosses, we content ourself with the exclamation Excelsior. To Col. A. P.

Wc hope that Thomas will con tinue, as she has taken the lead, in this encouraging and praiseworthy en terprise, and that all the couutics in Southern Georgia may follow her ex ample.

Tiie Thomas County Horticul tural Fair.—We regret that want of space prevents an extended notice of the impromptu exhibition of vege tables and flowers at the Thomas Couu- ty Fair Grounds, on Friday, the 30th ult. That it was an impromtu exhi bition adds additional eclat to its com plete success. Had the horticulturalist and flori- cuhuralist trained their skill aud en- ergy, with due notice of such an or deal, still the exhibit made would have reflected credit and honor for the in trinsic merits of the exhibition—mer its that would take rank and prece dent when viewed in the entirely, at any exhibition at such a time. Among the vegetables were no mammoth wonders in size, a sort of lu- sus naturee, to astonish hy hugeness ol bulk, but iu the Irish potatoes, beets, turnips, cabbage, squashes, parsnips, &c., there Was an ampleucss and gen eral agreement ol size combining the attractive with the useful, that would have commanded highest prices in market, as just the articles best suited to the highest style of the culinary art. To attain all this is td achieve com plete success, and this is a measure of triumph of skill and energy without extra exertion, aided by the genial climate and grateful soil of South Georgia, as evinced by that interesting exhibition of products at the Fair Grounds in Thomasville. • * • * The long tables in the centre of tbe large building were graced with beau tiful and rare flowers, tastefully ar ranged in boquets, wreathes and gar- Iauas. Thus, while man brought for ward the products of his labor, woman presented her tasteful, graceful handi work, aud the utile et Juice, the useful aud the beautiful, reciprocally bright ened the interest of the occasion. From tb« Quitman Banner.) Horticultural and Floral Ex hibition at Thomasville. — We were present on last Friday at the grand Horticultural and Floral exhibi tion. on the Fair Grounds of the “South Georgiu Agricultural and Mcchauical Association,’” situated a short distance from the cuterprising city ofThomas- villc; aud wc aro happy to announce that the affair was a complete success. The display of every character ot Spring vegetables far surpassed our most sanguine expectations and the floral exhibition was really maznili- cent: there were beautiful wreaths, towering pyramids, imposing crosses, splendid boquets, &c.. all giving evi dence of tiie admirable taste aud artis tic skill of the fair ladies of Thomas The floral exhibition was the centre of attraction, and although a thousand tongues uttered word, of praise, they were bat a faint tribute of apprecia tion of the leal merits ol this most wouderful display. In the vegetable line there were, in profusion, cabbages, turnips, beets, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, beans. The Quitman Cornet Band, although two very important instruments were missing, crowned itself with laurels.— It received the plaudits of not only the citizens of ThomasviJle, but likewise the vast concourse of visitors, for ihe dignified and manly deportment of its members, and the very excellent mu sic furnished. The Thomasrillc Band also plays well, and wc particularly admired its beautiful uniform. The citizens look upon their band with great pride, and extend to it generous encouragement. Personally, we are under many ob ligations to several of the citizens of Thotuasville for courtesies on this oc casion, and especially lo our esteemed friend, Capt. T. S. Paine, and his beautiful and accomplished lady. tbe Albany New*.) The Horticultural Exhibition in Thomasville.—We had prepared a rather lengthy article on our visit to Thomasville, last Friday, but found that our space was limited, and this nccessiated our leavingit out. We have room to say, however, that we had a pleasant time, and were the recipient of many acts of kindness and hospital ity Horn our friends doYvn there. The Exhibition was one of the grandest of the kind ever held in Georgia ; and we are firmly convinced that Thomas county is one of the most productive, wealthy and prosperous in the South ern States. It yvos a real beautiful sight to witness the mammoth vegeta bles which lay spread on the many ta bles in the Exhibition Hall,—the result of earnest, skillful labhr, and the pro duction or our own Georgia soil. The beautiful and fragnent boquet9—the handi-work of the fair daughters of Thomasville ; and last, but not least, the six beautiful, healthy, clean and fat little babies that Yverc there competitors for premium. Whether or uot the raising of these little cher ubs come under the head of Horticul ture, ytc are unable to say ; but they were there, and a premium was awar ded to one. To Mr. H. W. noi’KlNS wo return mauy thanks for courtcsis. We made his office and home our headquarters, and his kindness added ten-fold to our enjoyment. Messrs. Christian a Triplett, of the Times, also have our thanks. We visited their office, aud found that they had one of the best lil ted up printing estahlisnmeuts tu the State.

Pic Xic, Horticultural Fair, AND BABYSnOtr AT TnOMASVILLK. —At 8:30 a. m. we found ourself on the extra train bound ft* Thomasville. The mercury eveu at that hour was rapidly ascending the ladder of fuliren- heit, and when wc had reached the Fair Grounds it had dimed almost to the topmost round, threatening a tlier- mometrical explosion. The party from the Oak City was small iu uuin ber ; the intermediate towns and sta tions however, increased the passen ger list to the utmost “capacity of the coaches. Thomasville 1ms long becu noted for the refinement and intelli gence of her citizens. The ladies are remarkable forjiheir comely fpersons. attracti\'c manners and simplicity iu dress ; while the gentleman are cour teous and hospitable, and many are eminent for ability and character. The appearance of the business aud dwell ing houses, impress the stranger that thrift, comfort and taste are enjoyed. The busy warehouses, foundries and work-shops, evidence the industry and enterpries of the inhabitants. The attractive feauturc of the dfly led us to the Fair grounds, where we encountered a iar"c assemblage of South Georgians. The hall in the cen tral building presented the appearance of a Saturday market-place. At the different stalls could he seen'vegeta bles of every variety and dimension, equaling the finest exhibitions of the kind we have ever seeu in Northern markets. The centre table contained many massive and beautiful boqucls, arranged and combiutd with artistic taste and pleasing effect. Through the kindness of Mrs. Barrette, the wri ter was presented Yvith a floral wreath, aud a perfect £em, a heart-shaped bo quet, a beautiful emblematic dcsigu of purity and loveliness, deyoid ofpit-r- ciug thorn# and withered leaves but fresh with buds, blooms and aromatic odors. The floral department wa« rich ly represented by box flowcrs,andplanti of rare kinds and luxuriant growth. The generous Pic Nickers knowing their inability lo work miracles, brought forward a bountiful supply of rations to feed the multitude, and there was doubtless more than fl basketsfuli of fragments gathered l,. after dinner. The baby show seemed to be an object of intern to admiring mothers and indulgent fathers. Not being petsoually interested iu the* infantile aspirants for the prize, w tarried hut a moment, and thought that the time would *oou conic whtu they would no iougcr be uuconsci< actors in the dratna of life. The Thomasville and Quitman bauds dis- coureds sweet music and a ided much to the interest aud enjovtueul of t! day. Above us was a caiacious hall, adorned with wreaths, flowers, festoons ol cedar in which could be heard the soft strains of the violin and the “tripping of the light fantastic toe. ” The pleas ure ot our visit was heightened hy the welcoming smiles and kindly greetings ofthe writer lady acquaintances of that Ijlace. Our affable and hand»otnc con- Our affable a’nd hand: doctor, Mr. J. S. Desverge*, who quality variety, cannot be excelled in any country. The exhibition, therefore, was a success, and no doubt will influ ence an annual repetition. It was moic attractive than tiie annual Fairs of the >outh Georgia Agricultural As sociation, and furnished a true illustra tion of the wealth of our soil aud ad vantages of our delightful climate. • • • • • • The attendance at the exhibition far exceeded the expectation of the clever people of Thomasyille. They came from Bainbridge on the west, Albany on the north, Blackshear on the east, and Monticello on the south, and all the intermediate country was repre sented by its manhood and beauty.— We should judge there were present between fifteen hundred and two thou sand persons, and all appeared to in tensely enjoy the occasion. The Thom- asviUe and Quitman Cornet Bands furnished splendid music, and the la dies and gentlemen of tbe city and county vied with each other in expend ing courtesies to the visitors. A splendid dinner was served on the grounds, and for variety, quality and quantity of viands, it was unex ceptionable.

Our Trip to Thomasville.— The sun was shining blight and clear from cloudless skies, as on the morning of the 30th ulL, our party started tortn for the Pic-Nic and Ex hibition at Thomasville. The train left promptly at 6 a. m. and we were soon dashing along un der Mr. Smallwood’s careful guidance leaving Albany far behind us. wenU seeping past well tilled fields, through forests of the resi nous pine, and past little country booses, everything seeming so quie’t and still in the hush of the early morn- ing. On the train with us were several udies ard gentleman of our city, all “P° n ^ ** me ojrand, viz: that eff baying the best possible time among tbe Thomasvillians. As we neared our destination, the car rapidly became better filled, and long ere we reached it every seat was occupied. At ten o'clock wc arrived at Thom asville, and found a committee wait ing to receive us. The trains from Qnitman and Bainbridge steamed up to the Depot directly after, and strain* of delightful music from the Brass Bands, of Thomasville and Quitman, welcomed the arrival of the visitors. Our friend. Levy, with his usual courtsey, took us in charge, ami we were shortly driving throughlhe streets of the beautiful city iu style “par ex cellence.” Our phaeton couvcying us safely to our slopping place, we were soon all ready for fun. Reaching there about one o’clock. e found the Grouuds presenting quite au animated appearance, more than two thousand persons being prescut. The Horticultural and Floral Exhi- bitou was oue of the best we have ever witnessed, aud really put our section to the blush. Tbe stalls fairly groaned with their eight of vegetable productions, all of tbe finest quality ana of the most enor mous size. To give a full description of them is beyond our scope, and to re late their magnitude would sound too much like exaggeration ; hut we leave it to thefreaders imagination. The flower's were arranged in the most tasteful and attractive styles, a large table being tilled with graceful floral pyramids, crosses and other de signs. The exquisite flowers, though chaste and elegant, could not compare with the brilliant boquet of beauty formed by Thomasville's fair daugh ters, and both created a blended ex pression of loveliness aud splendor up on our susceptible hearts thrilling with responsive throbs uuder such bewitch ing allurements. At the hour of dining, hospitnlity tairly beamed upou the faces of the people of Thomasville, and the most dclightlnl lunches met our gaze in ev ery direction. We had the honor of sharing a portion of the contents of tiie Prize Basket, aud greatly did we en joy it. The dinner of our German triends was chuiming and picturesque. Outside the Grounds out ol the dust aud heat of the multitude, aud under thc cool shade of the trees an elegant meal was tmread in real Pic-Nic sV 1<- aud presided over hy Mrs. Jcrger. Seated at ease away from tlic throng ing crowds they were enjoying the most delieous viands. We were iu ci ted to partake with them and found their meal the ‘*Ne Plus Ultra” of Pic- Xic life. Amid the beautiful ladies of Thom- ville, and completely charmed with the bright smiles and bewitching glan ces, the golden hours fllew bv like min utes, until twilight fast approaching, intervened to cud the happiness of our dance. Leaving early next morning, we started en route for home, met several of our Albany friend's reached here safely and rounded off our delightful journey among the most charming of eompanions-devoy age. M e now look back with unfeigned pleasure to our visit to Thomasville : 1 the day spent among its noble hearted men and lovely ladies, will be ever treasured iu our memories as among the happiest hours of our lives; and the rccollecliou of their kind treat ment and generous hospitality time- can never efface ; for There arc moments of life th;»t w. : never I'hVh brighten, and brighten ut tluiu at cal a M., B. & R. Language among Animals. M.Hotizeau maintains that not only Joes each group of animals possess a language which is muter stood br other memlicrH of the same group but that they can learn to under stand the language of other groups. His dogs for instance perfectly un derstood his poultry. Cocks and hens have one danger signal for tin approach of a bird of prey, anothei for that of a terrestrial animal or foi a man. When the later was sounded the dogs would rush out and bark, while to the former they paid no at tention whatever. He therefore, con cludes that fowls have the power of expressing slightly different but closely allied ideas, and dogs can loam these differences. M. Hoitzeau says: The mule is supposed to lx: able to count as far us live, at least; and this is consider ed to bo established by the following observation : There is :I short branch line of omnibuses in New Orleans, where each mule makes the journey live times successively before being eliangod. The veterinary surgeon ol these animals called attention to the fact that at the end of each of the first four journeys they are silent, but us they approach the end of the fifth they neigh. But this is not sat isfactory. The end of the fifth trip may be marked by preparations for feeding the animals, which thev hear or smell ut a distance, and these may have produced responsive neighs.—Scribner's for February.
