premium to John Prince for a native cow-and
the third TO Gen. Derby, of Weston, for a
COW of the Attorney breed.
On the subject of Fat O9en the committee
say
As TO fat Oxen, the show was comparative
ly meagre. We do not at all refer to the in
ierlorty OF the animals offered, though we
nave undoubtedly had better in some wears.
From fourteen in number we have fallen to
Jour. Whether this is TO be attributed TO the
season. or the market, or both, we cannot de-
termlne. We have, in deciding these premi-
nms, followed one fully and deliberately set.
ued rule, to give the premium to the best ami
NAL on the whole, without regard to weight
we, therefore,. award the first premium for
fat oxen, J. Hubbard, of Hatfield, SO dol.
lars-weighing alive, 2,308 pounds.
Inc second, to Stephen Howe, of Peters,
man, Az dollars-weight- of his OK, 2,46O
pounds.
o. The third to Asa Rice, jun. of Shrewsbury,
~ dollars, for an admirable and extraordi-
mary year old steer, weighing 1908 pounds.
The best Heifer was of the {! Coalebs,
breed; the second best of the {. Fill-Pail.n
The Report of the Committee on Sheep and
S~ine contains nothing very interesting. For
the premiums for Merino Sheep and native
Wethers, there was no competition.
The Committee ON the subject of Intentions
awarded a premium Of 90 dollars to Mr..
Hotchliiss, of Brattleborough, Vermont. for a
Machine called the Fiaxseed Separator -,
and 10 dollars to Mr. Hogdon, of Newton, for
Washing Machine. They notice C Rota-
tory Churn, having horizontal movement; >,
and Machine for threshing grain, upon a
new principle, by Mr.. Asa shattuck, of Pep
perell; neither of which, however, they
thought so superiour to others now in use as
to merit premium. A Machine for threshiaf-
and winnowing Wheat was presented by
Mr.. Gragg, of Londonderry, of which very ia
vonrable notice is takenby the Committee
They defer, however, awarding premium
until the proprietor, shall produce proper GER
tificates OF its powers.

A piece of Stair Carpeting, Manufac-
tured by Miss Anna Edes, of Charles
town, was of sufficiently good quality to
be entitled to premium, and would
have obtained one had there been the
number Of yards required by the Trus-
tees.
A premium was withheld for the
same cause from Mrs. Oliver Fiske. of
Worcester, who presented piece of
Flannel In point of fineness, soft
ness and strength, it was thought entitled
to favourable notice: The committee
exceedingly regretted, in another case,
that OF Mr.. James Howarth, of Andover.
that they were precluded by the unsea-
sonable entry of his Flannels, from give
ing them the advantage of a premium.
The specimen was thought very good,
and perhaps there is no article of do
mestick manufacture more deserving of
liberal encouragement.
