CATTLE SHOW.

The Annual Cattle Shoac. Exhibition Of Man
'ydctures, and PlOughing Match, of the Wor-
cester County Agricultural Society, was held
in this town on the 18th inst. The concourse
Of people assembled on the occasion was large,
and the most perfect order and decorum were
maintained through all the exhibitions and ex-
ercises of the day.
Agreeably TO the previous regulations, the
competitors for The Ploughing Match assem-
bled at o'clock, on a 6eid prepared for the
purpose, near Deland's, (late Hathaway's,)
tavern, and, at given signal, commenced the
contest. The manifest improvement from year
TO year, in this part of the exhibition, cannot
fail to be highly gratifying to those who take
an interest in it, and must doubtless be pro-
ductive OF the best results. The good training
and management of the teams, their strength
and docility, were conspicuous on this occa-
sion. There was no hallooing and whipping Of
the oxen, no noise and no confusion. Each one
went quietly and orderly to his work, and car
'ried it forward, without hurrying and fretting,
till it was completed. The lots were of one
eighth of an acre each, and the time occupied
in ploughing them varied from 25 to sc min
utes. OF the performance of the work, it was
well remarked by the committee, that "the
skill and perfection with which it was done,
rendered it extremely embarrassing TO settle
and award the premiums" II should be re.
WONDERED, that this is not a trial ofspeed, but
competition for excellence of work, done in
reasonable time. We perceive, by the ac-
counts Of the Pawtuxet Show, that the same
quantity of work was done there in l6 or 10
minutes, which required 80 minutes here
Now 1t is perfectly obvious, to every intelli-
gent farmer, that work hurried in that manner
can be no fair test Of the skill of the COMPETE
tors, or of the excellence of their ploughs and
teams, and that ploughing match, so con-
Quoted, can be of no possible utility,

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

In acceptance of previous invitation from
his Excellency Gov. Lincoln, the President OF
the United States, accompanied by his son
G. w. Adams, Esq. arrived in this village on
the 9th inst. and was entertained during the
time he remained here, at the hospitable man
sion of the Governor. On his arrival in town,
national salute was fred in pursuance Of the
Order published below. On Tuesday the
President dined with his Excelency. Among
the guests, beside the President and his SON
were Chief Justice Parker, Judges Putnam
Wilde and Morton of the Supreme Court, Hon
E. II. Mills Of the U. States Senate, Hon. J
Welles, of Boston, Hon. J. Davis, of the U. 5
House of Representatives, and other citizen:
Of the vicinity. In the evening the Presiden,
with the Governor and Judges of the Supreme
Court, were invited and attended the delivery
Of a'Poem and Grafton before a literary society
OF this town, on its anniversary. On the day
following, the citizens of the vicinity very gen.
orally paid their respects to the President, al
the house Of the Governor, which was thrown
open on the occasion. The President then
witnessed the Exhibition of tie Agricultural
Society, and diDed with the Society at tie
Town-Hall, particular notice of which will
be found in another, column. In the evening
the President attended the Oratorio, and re-
turned therce to the Governors, where he
passed the residue of the evening and the
night, and left Worceste. the next morning
after breakfast; having enjoyed, we hope,
much of the qualification which his presence
afforded to his friends in this vicinity.

MANUFACTURED ARTICLES.

Three lots Of Sole Leather were offered,
on which the premium was awarded
70 Phinehas Davis, Esq. of Northboro', $40 90
or Calf SKINS, four lots were exhibited,
the premium on which was also a.
warded to Phinehas Davis. Esq. $40 90
No Cardwire was offered.
There was but one Grass BOnnet offered,
which was made within the county, and that
vas not considered of sufficiently good quail
ity to entitle it TO a premium. There were
two presented, made by Selma Parker, Of Fiz-
william, which were very fine and beautiful,
exceeding, "a our opinion, any ever before
exhibited here. For these, the committee re-
commend a gratuity of S., which was voted
by the Society. No premium was offered for
Strdw Bonnets, but one was exhibited, Of such
superior quality, that the Society awarded
gratulty Of So to Hannah Dunton, the manu-
facturer of it. Several other Bonnets were Of
fered, among which was one Of Turkey down,
and one of The dOrT Of .MiIkweed.
But one lot of Se'c,ng SAX was exhibited,
and that was of quality inferior to what has
been offered on former occasions. But, as it is
an article, the production Of which is deemed
worthy of encouragement, the committee re-
commend gratuity for it of So, to Sophia
Bailey, of Sterling.
Various other articles came under the no
tice Of this committee, among which were
lot Of highly finished and ornamented Chairs,
by d. J. Wilder, of Worcester :; Account
Books, bound in superior manner, by Dorr
81 Rowland, Worcester; model Of side hill
Plough, of ingenious construction; machine
for pairing and quartering apples; an improv-
ed e Seli-feeding Brick Prcss,'' by John Win
slow, of Portland, Me-; and machine for
threshng and winnowing grain, by Edmund
Warren.

The Turkish youth who was men
toned short time since in the Albany
and Utica papers, has been sojOurnl0g
in this village for a week past. He
describes himself as the son of the
-Pacha of Damascus, and says that he
was captured by pirates while making
voyage, on his fathers account, to
the island of Cuba. He was left upon
the sea in an open boat by these
free boo;ers-taken up by an English
vessel and carried into G Quebec, whence
he came to the United States. He

going home at present, and has wander
ed into the interior to see the coun-
try. Such is his account, and we see
no reason TO doubt ii.
The Turk has always been descrlb.
ed as the most incident and ignoraD'
of men; as one wholly Indifferent tC
the acquisition of knowledge, anC
proudly unconcerned about the condi
ton Of other countries. Such may be
the national character, but it does no
seem TO ho that of the is,Aiv idual il
question. On the contrary, (assuming
his narrative TO be true) he has resisted
the natural yearnings for his afluent
home, rendered still stronger, we
may suppose, from danger and priva-
ton, and remains here for the sole pur-
pose of gratifying his curiosity. He
: has no other means than those which
are afforded him as he proceeds; yet
he seems determined to stay some time
in the country, in order TO examine it.
He has picked up good many Epglish
words, though he proDounces them i'm
perfectly; and after a little practice
one can converse with him tolerably
well. He appears TO he we'll read,
siTewd, and Intelligent. He is we'll
acquainted with ancient history, and
answers promptly and correctly all
questions relating to it. as we'll as those
concerning eastern history in general
he appears, however. TO bestow his
admiration upon military characters
exclusively; aud towards these he
is liberal in the application of the
epithet BONO" which with him seems
TO include all degrees of manly merit
He is observant of our character and
customs, and delivers his opinions un-
reservedly. He refuses to cit at the
same table and eat with Christians
but is 10 general mild and civil in his
demeanour. He processes an intention
of writing thick book, when he gets
home, upon the subject of our country

The Priest party and the Monarchls's
are both dissatisfied with the DEGREES
because they consider it, and, with some
reason, as virtual recognition OF 'he
Portuguese charter.
The trial of the 70 deputies who
voted the inability of the king in 1885,
has at last terminated and they are
condemned to be strangled, and their
property is con6scated.
From an official report it appears,
that Colombian privateer captured =
Spanish merchant vessels on the lztn
July, going to Galicia, and another on
the 14th. There were several DINERS
on the coast. Some Spanish vessels
were blockaded in Miuos, by schooner.
and the brig Vencedor. They captur'

is said that all accounts agree in stating,
that bloody battle has been fought at
Cardami, between the Mainotes and the
troops sent by Ibrahim 10 occupy.
.Mistra-Only few Turks escaped
TO Nisi; and the Mainotes have renew
ed their oaths. to die rather than sub

on the part of the Greeks, and on enter

and cut off.
The Greek government have deter

A letter written off Syria, Aug. 4th,

fought near Samos by The Greek and

The Greeks are said to have burnt
