We present a cut of this early and excellent fruit produced on the place of Charles F. Erhard, Ravenswood, Long Island, N. Y., who has it now for sale. The cut represents the fruit rather below the average; though small it is lively and excellent; as will bo seen by the following report of the "Proceedings of the American Pomologi-cal Society," for 1858, page 196, it has been favorably noticed in a paper there read by Mr. T. W. Field. Mr. Erhard now attaches his name to "the fruit and calls it" Erhard's Raveuswood," to which name he is fully entitled.

"The Ravenswood, obtuse pyramidal, tending to obovate, small to medium in size, with a very short thick stem, has qualities that entitle it to much regard. Ripening from the middle of July to the middle of August; it is superior to most pears of that period, in rich aromatic flavor, and in its great abundance of vinous carbonated juice. It is a very great bearer, and almost all the fruits are equally good.. It is a seedling found in the woods of Astoria and planted on the grounds of Charles T. Erhard".

A Real Blanket Sheet is the great Poster of the New York Agricultural Society's Fair, to be held on 4th, 5th, and 6th of October. It represents, too, a large and excellent society - shall we say the most progressive? Large enough to be a cradle cover for four twins, we have found some difficulty in placing it "In a conspicuous place," but at last, with a long ladder, and some long nails, it greets every passenger of a not insignificant Railroad. Good luck for the scheme, and fine weather, is our benison. Of the National Agricultural Society, at Chicago, and the Fair at Elizabcthtoum, New Jersey, we have most flattering accounts of success in all respects.

The New Hampshire State Agricultural Society will hold its tenth Annual Fair at Dover, on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of this month.

We are quite sure that the following, which we take from that excellent periodical the Southern Cultivator, is from the pen of the author of " What's in a Name," which has had so many admirers; in short, it can only be from T., of Torchhill, Georgia, who is termed the Tom Hood of Southern pomology, by the Cultivator.
