Manufactured ARTICLES, other than Cotton,
Wool, and Far.--This part of the Exhibition
was not SO well sustained this year as it has
been on some former occasions, with the ex-
ception of Cheese, of which there were TWEEN
ty-fve lots presented, all Of them but one be-
ing from .NeIc- BTdintree. We know not why
the farmers of other towns are SO willing to
suffer all the premiums on this article to go to
that town, without any attempt at a compe-
Gtion. New-Braintree probably furnishes a
greater proportion Of frst-rate Cheese than
any other place, yet there are diaries in other
towns, which make it of equal quality, and
we hope another year to see specimens
brought forward, which will, at least, divide
the honors with them. We this year noticed
one specimen, made at the dairy of David P.
Chase, in Millbury, which appeared uncom-
monty well, and which, We understand, was
considered worthy of premium, had not most
of il been seasoned with sage, the committees
having uniformly made it rule to reject
such.
Several articles were exhibited on which no
premiums were offered, some of which dis
played much taste and ingenuity. These are
noticed in the report, which will shortly be
published. The premiums awarded were
On Cheese,
To Elisha Matthews, of N. Braintree,
1st premium, $40 90
To Job Ranger, of do. Cd premium, 5 90
To Ebenezer Tidd, of do. for old
Cheese, 3 90
On Butter,
To Stephen Hastings, of Sterling, 700
To Stillman Fitch, of do. S 90
To David P. Chase, of Millbury, 800
On Soal Leather,
To Jacob w. Watson, of Princeton, 10 90
On Calf Skins,
To Brigham & Knox, of Dudley, 10 90
On Morocco,
To Walter Russell, of Ashburnham, 90
On Chairs,
To ellison Brown, of Sterling, 800
On Card Wire,
To Pliny Snow, of Leicester, 5 90
We cannot, in justice to the subject, close
this article without noticing the valuable
stock presented on this, as on former occasions,
by Stephen Williams, Esq. of Marlborough,
who has contributed in no small degree to
the interest of our annual Shows. The fine
English Horse ROMAN, one of the nOblest
animals of his. kind, i'm this orany other coun-
try, excited very general admiration. We
have before noticed his Dishley Sheep. Sew
eral fine Cattle, the progeny of Denton. were
also present from his stock. The introduc-
ton of this breed has already produced very
sensible Improvement in our stock, and it will
every year become more apparent. We did
not find Denton himself in the pen which he
usually occupied, and should have regretted
it the more, bad his place not been so well
supplied by Admiral, Bull of the same
breed presented to the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural Society by Sir Isaac Coffin. Though
not so large as Denton, he bears a strong
resemblance to him, and a successor wor-
thy of being placed at the head of such a
feet,
Ward Nicholas BOylston, Esq. of Princeton,
with his accustomed liberality, also presented
for exhibition several valuable animals, which
are appropriately noticed in the reports Of the
Committees.
The business Of the Society, and all the
performances of the day, were conducted
with great propriety and decorum, without
noise or confusion, and every person present
seemed to feel aware, that the character of
the County was best supported by the care
which each took to maintain iaadiuidlal repu-
tGtion.
Among other luxuries at the farmers table
at their annual show, was a rich specimen of
English home-brewed Ale, made at South
Leicester by Miss Wildly, sister of Francis
Wildly, Esq. Of Boston. The people of every
country must be healthy and happy where
this grateful and nutritious liquor is in gene
raj use.
