At the late Cattle Show of the Agricul-
tural Society Of Worcester were exhibited
turnip slicer; drilling machine; gar
den rake with double set of teeth; a
Scotch churn. aud straw cutter, Of SIM
pie but excellent construction, patented
10 Giles Dayton; also great variety OF
vegetables, of extraordinary size, among
which were, 7 Swedish turnips or Ruta
Baga, of the average weight Of 10 pounds
each, from field of quarter OF an acre,
in which are growing many OF an equal
size; winter squash, weighing ll5
pounds; 1 ditto weighing 1876 pounds; a
remarkable large summer squash, and a
cucumber, very large winter squash,
measuring in length 8 feet inches. The
Society received valuable donation from
the Hon. Jonathan Russell, Of half a
bushel of Wheat and half bushel of Rye,
from Finland, which are of the most val
liable kiud, and imported by him for the
benefit Of the Society. Fifteen yoke of
oxen we're tried by the single yoke, upon

making an aggregate of SIS cwt. 2 quarters
and Ia pounds gross, which was drawn

were next attached by the chain to a drag,
loaded with II cwt. gross, placed on the
travelled path, up the same hill; and
were afterwards tried with plough on a
piece of unequal and partly tough sward
ed ground. The tests TO which they were
subjected were calculated to exhibit their
strength and docility--and the perfect

Singular cure for Scolding. Happier

A woman, on her way to Cincinnal' IL

passenger, a few hours before the ooa'
landed. Notwithstanding the vast eSpe'
rience of this modern Xantippe IN Inc ~
of scolding, she unfortunately opened ns'

The late trial of Carlisle, the bookshelf,
in the court OF kings bench, England ~
the publication Of Paine's Age Of keasa'
and Palmer's Principles Of Nature IL,
minated 10 his conviction. A sketch Il
the trial we have read 10 the Londo'
Morning Chronicle. 1t is really cum
osity, and that OF most lameutabIe "a
ture. The crime was the publications
40 impious, proiane and biasphemou,
libel upon religion, with an utentions
bring The Scriptures into discreda ad
contempt. Carlisle defended himself: real
to the jury the whole of the Age oil Re-.
son, with extracts from other simiIa,
works, aud animadveited upon them, ;us
Itilying and euIogizing their principles.
repeatedly declared his belief thai lhs
Bible was an imposition upon The credaIiV
of mankind, al obscene, immoral and Der.
snicioas book and was about 10 readt
through, to convince The jury of the truth
of his opinions /; but chief justice ABBor
stopped him several times, and told him
that as christianity was part Of the law
of the land, he could not permit him 70
examine or to revile in that court tbe
Holy Scriptures. Carlisle, however, pei.
sisted SO far as TO read and reprobate
several passages. In the progress Of the
trial, he treated the court with a bold
ness and independence equal TO those
which his friend Hunt displayed to The
chief justice at the same siltings, denying
the law laid down by the bench, andtfII.
ing the court that he had no confidence
in it. The chief justice bore his remarks
with exemplary patience, and allowed
him latitude and freedom OF defence,
which perhaps would hardly be permitted
in this country. The jury Frequently
exhibited symptoms of horror at the imp-
Gus language of the defendant. They
found a verdict against him almost iustaR
taneously.
Upon the whole, we are Of opinion, 90
reading this trial, that prosecutions Of the
kind are extremely unwise; that the
cause Of christianity does not need their
aid; that they tend to give countenaaee
to the cry OF persecution for opinions re
speeding religion, and thereby to spread
the very blasphemies which they are de-
signed to punish and suppress. At tht
same time, we cannot avoid the expires
sion of our detestation of the irreligiou'
and wicked opinions, SO wantonly an(
foolisbly avowed by Carlisle in open court
and so fatal in their tendency to subyer
morality and social order in this life, an
to destroy the best hopes of man here
after.

subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage

be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init
