Has met your flu delighted gaze.

DEDICATIOM

On Monday last, we attended the dedica.
ton of the new and beautiful Town House.
lately erected in this place. After a solemn
and appropriate prayer, by the Rev. DR.. Ban
croft, peculiarly adapted to the ocoasion-an
Address was delivered by. John Davis, ESQ.
1t IS so common, after such occasions. TO
speak in the language Of enthusiasm, that it
has become almost matter of course to al
low the orator praise whether he deserves il
OF not. We are happy, however, on this oc-
casion, that we are not obliged to have re-
course to tattery. We are confident that ev-
cry one, who heard this address, must have
been gratided. Nr. Davis dwelt with pecn-
liar interest, upon the history of our town, in
PRODUCING to our acquaintance many facts new
and interesting. We know not how it is, but
there Is something in the matter and manner
OF this gentleman, that always affords us pleas
ure and gratihcation. Without attempting.
any thing like display, he completely engages
our attention. No word is superduous, no
sentence without particular point. He is,
IN fact, one OF those writer's, who possess the
happy faculty OF being so plain and simple,
that the most unframed can easily compre-
bend, and, at the same time, so pure and ele-
waited IN his style as not to offend the taste of
the most learned and refined. We trust that
the public will be grati6ed with the publica-
ton of this Address,th they may have an OPP
portunity of Judging for themselves.
The following communication is from an un-
known correspondent. We rarely meet
with an attempt at irony so successful as
this, and We hope for a continuance of IA
vors from the author.

goodness to publish il, if he can read il, for |
cannot write like Euphemia, and some Of the
long words may not be spelt right; but sup
pose he can correct them without looking the
dictionary through, as should have to do. So
you see at once, Mr.. Secretary, am in no
danger of being stigmatized with that odious
epithet, Blue Stocking oh! shudder at
Che idea. 1t always reminds me of my grand
mothers woolen stockings that she used to
colour in her dye-tub. Poor Euphemia her

The SeaSon.-On May day the peach,
plumb and cherry trees were in full bloom
with US, and the apple and pear trees partial
ly so. The next morning our fields were s clad
with winters snowy vestment." In some
places the bright green grass showing itself a.
oove the snow made most singular appear
ance. In few hours the fields were again
bare, but frost followed at night, which we
fear has injured the fruit in exposed si:ua-
tions.

SAGE your fruit.-A friend informs us that
Caterpillars have made their appearance in
unusual numbers, on the fruit trees. Now is
the best time to destroy them, and little
time spent in doing it, will be well repaid in
the increased quantity of fruit, and in
the health and vigor of the trees.
