gricul'urai imple rents, and with the trial Of

ceived the premiums, together with full
statement nf The proceedings of the society
will soon appear in the official report which is
preparing for the press, we must. dcf'r the
reader to that communication for particular
detail Of what transpred. There was one
part of the exhibition, however, which excited
so lively an interest, that we cannot siicutly
pass il by-we allude To the rich display ui
domestic manufactures, which, for quantity
and quality, we believe, surpassed all expecia-
tons. Some OF these articles were not inferior,
perhaps, to any ever manufactured in tins
country. Among those chiefly admired for
their texture and beauty, were--a piece, OF
linen diaper, about equa! in quality to the i'm
ported diaper which rctas AT SL75 per yard
some fine blankets, an excellent imitation OF
the imported ones; variety of Competing,
among which were two hearth carpets that
attracted much atten,ion-,hc one which re-
ceived the premium, and which was manu-
featured by young lady of this place, was
particularly admired for the richness Gifts CO.
Inring. There were also some superior he'd
ticking almost every species of counterpane
!: most beautiful bed canopy--and variety OF
other articles which reflected great credit ON
the hands which wrought them.-Ths exhbi
fion took place in the Town Hall, and was
honored and enlivened by the presence of
many of our most respectable females There
was but one Inconvenience felt-the Hall
proved too small for the anxious crowd that
pressed into il, aud fur as fair an exposure of
the articles brought, as could have been wished
Indeed we have never seen SO great "A squeeze.
1t was en- ihe whole nevertheless, an interest
ing scene.
To speak of the utility Of such institutions,
IN the face Of such practical results, would truly
be superiluous. This last exhibition proves To
us, that there is great emulation excited, and
that all the essential articles of do nestle COM
fort can be manufactured at home, and those
too Ola very superior quality. What may not
snch beginnings lead to, in the course of time (:
We have no fear of mcetipsa dissenting ,nice,
when we say, that the President of the Ere
dericksburg Agricultural Society deserves the
thanks of his country, fur his uuwearied and
interchangeable lnbours in the cause ofagriculture
and domestic economy, whereby he promotes
her best and most lasting interests. Herald

In the National Intclligencer Of the 18th in

Upon reading in print the para graph in our

Secretary Adams had received an invitation
from Mr.. Jefferson To visit him, it occurs to us
that this contradiction may be understood as
proceeding from The authority of the sage of

than due to tue parties, therefore, 10 say, that
the paragraph in question is from Il source
