AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The meeting of the Shropshire Agricultural Sa-
tiety was held in Sheewsbury on Tuesday. The
animals exhibited for premiums were few in num.
her, and less emident for value and beauty thun on
tuany former meetings. For five premiums these
were no claimants; also five .premitmws were with-
held on account of limit of merit in the stock
shewn ; and three of the sweepstakes were without
competitors. The extra stock comprised a singu-
larly large and handsome 4-years old heifer, the
property of Lord Hill, bred from a cow brought
from Holland and the Durham boll of P. Charl-
ton, Esq.; a tearful and handsome Durham hei:
fir, the property of IVilliam Price, Esq. of Felton

perry of the Rev. H. Burton; is Hereford cow and

Didellebary flock ; a Durham heifer, the property
of the Rev. R. Corfield; end a cart inure and colt.,

risks of the Society, Mr. Broome offered for sale,
on the ahem ground, several lots, the property of

These prices, considering the state of mow
culture. were deemed good, trod denote the (reorie-
nts', ottininn which is entertviiwd 'of the Royal
hired of Herefords. A row and "Calf of the mune
breed, were either bought in or sold for 321. Si.

named heifer, fsoits • Felton Butler, which was not
advanced upon after being put up at 46/.

excited by the appearetwe, in front of the auc-
tioneer, of a pigged boy. with three nigged scabby
skeletons of half-sward sheep, fastened together
wish collars, like a leash of greyhounds. Some
wags -had, it seemed, sent bosh this thepherti and
h.• flock for exhihitiour and safe, and the waggery
was enjoyed by the spectators with iihuitr Komi
bummer. The prize, we presume, was awarded and
