CATTLE SHOWS.

BRIHGToN FAIR AND Snow. The an
nual Exhibitions of the Massachusetts Ag-
| ricultural Society took place on Wednes-
day last, at Brighton, agreeably to arrange
ments made, and in imitation of other So
cieties they were completed in the day
which was uncommonly favorable.
The Committee of the Society were
prompt in the execution of their preparato-
~ duties. The Ptoughing Match CONNIE nc
ed at the early time assigned, (half past 8
o'clock and although there were several
more competitors than there were lots
(ticeatl0 marked out, the arrangements
were satisfactorily made, without occasion
ing delay. Nine Single and Eleven Double
| Teams started at the signal, and the
regularity, order, and neatness, with which
the work was executed, excited great in
terest, and gave unanimous satisfaction to
more numerous body of spectators than
were present for several previous years.
The science, care, and experience of the
best ploughmen of Worcester, Middlesex,
and Norfolk, were successfully exerted on
the occasion; and the silence with which
the labor was performed, and the kind
treatment of the cattle, added to the graft
fication of the numerous spectators. The
ploughs generally were of improved con-
struction, and one of them was so contrived
as to require no person to hold it.
. The trials Of strength by fourteen yokes
of working oxen took place Immediately
after the ploughing match and attracted
unusual attention and observation. Wor-
cester County, as usual, we learn bore away
the palm.
The Pens were not so numerously filed
as they have been on former years but
contained samples of improved stock, native
and imported and the show of fat cattle
was excellent.
Among the inventions, was model Of
the stone hammering machine. 1t consists
of seven hammers, which are worked by
turning crank, the stone tfaversing some
what like log in a saw-mill. A boot
cramp, by Jonathan Snow, of Concord,
worked with screws, was considered by
one of the craft as an useful invention If It
would perform the work for which il was
intended. There was handsome whip
handle, of horn, made by Stephen Hough-
ton, of Bolton. A new hammer was exhib-
tied by Sylvanus Easton, of North Bridge
water. Some pears, weighing two pounds
each, from the garden Of Mr.. Edmunds. of
Framingham were among the mammoth
specimens of fruit.
At the close Of the exhibition, &c. the
Society formed in procession at the Hall,
and proceeded to the Meeting House, and

For a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise.
In the rich enjoyment of the blessings OF
public tranquility, of health, and the album
dance of the harvests, the People OF this
Commonwealth have passed through anoth-

contemplation of the goodness of divine
and merciful Benefactor, who has sustained

To afford opportunity, at the accustomed

preservation of their lives, and in the null

exercise, to communicate the influence OF
the Gospel to the ignorant and vicious OF
the whole earth And truly and deeply

DELAWARE, September Z, 1897. We do
hereby certify, that several propositions
have been made to us by the partisans of
General Jackson, to obtain the possession
or the control of the American Waterman
Newspaper Establishment The principal
of these proposals has been to purchase
the establishment, or to guarantee three
hundred additional subscribers, provided we
would suffer the columns of the paper to
be under the exclusive control of the pro
posers,' or, in technical phIaseology, to
come ouf ourselves in favor of the Gener-
al. In consequence of rejecting all these
proposals. mapy Of the jackson men have
withdrawn their names from our subscrip-
ton list, and others have threatened so to
do. In addition to the loss We have sus-
tanned on account of the withdrawal of
these men, We have suffered species of
persecution which it would be unpleasant
TO disclose. We therefore throw ourselves
entirely upon the support of the friends of
the present Administration, whose cause
the Waterman advocates, and whose poll

place which is famous from. 1.-The circum-

money, supposed to have been coined and
concealed there by Spaniards, before and
during the revolutionary. war. While
searching for game, he discovered near
him rattlesnake of enormous size, upon
which he levelled his piece and shot it
through the head; he had no sooner done
this, than, on looking around he discover
ed that he was surrounded on every side
by these venomous serpents He then
took club and commenced killing, and
before they could make good their retreat,
he had forty of them lying dead before
him. He took four of the largest and re-
turned home. On measuring them they
were found to be over four and half feet
in length, and nine inches in circumfer-
ence. Their ages could not be ascertain
ed, as many of their rattles fell off and
were lost among the leaves, when they
were killed; but they were probably near
! thirty years old. Two of them were of
the yellow kind, and their heads resembled
very much in color, copper that has beem

after its capture, until such time as the

its native element. If caught in the ensu-

is asserted that the unhappy animal is sub
iected to a second ordeal of fire, reward
ing its capturers this time, however, with
very thin shell. This, if true, shows

The NON-DEsCRIPT. The bones of the
non-descript, lately discovered in SWAMP
near New Orleans, were last week exhib-
tied in this place. The mammoth, the re.
mains Of which have heretofore caused SO
much speculation among naturalists, must
have been a mere pigmy in comparison
with this monster. The largest appears to
have been the left upper jaw bone-it is
" twenty feet IN length, three in breadth
and weighs upwards of twelve hundred
pounds" with a remarkable projection, in
the form of a horn, about nine feet long.
and seven or eight inches in diameter.
which must have been a weapon of de-
fence the other bones are in exact pro-
portion. The vertebrR, or back bone. is
sixteen inches in diameter, the passage for
the spine, nine by six inches, and the ribs
nine feet long," To what species these
immense remains belong, we believe is
yet, and perhaps will ever be, desidera-
tum. 1t is generally supposed, however.
that it was aquatic, or at least dnphib;ous
In its nature-its race is, no doubt, long
since extinct.
Alter seeing these bones we can scarce
y any longer doubt the existence of the
hraken and other monsters, whose history
mas generally been considered fabulous.
The proprietors, Messrs. Bailey and Co.
informed us that it was their intention to
visit the eastern cities, where we have no
doubt they will be paid for their trouble
and expense, by the curious and the sciea-

DEDHAM, OcL. II.
DEATH BY SUFFocATIoN. Mr.. Edward
III. Adams, merchant, of Boston, had been
residing in this town, at Aldens hotel,
day or two, partly for amusement, and part
ly to ENJOY the pure air of the country
The circumstance attending the sudden ex-
1t OF this man are melancholy and distress
ing. On Friday evening last he retired to
bed in usual health, in a small tight cham
Der, without fire place and in which he
left two lamps burning when sleep over
took him, whether by design or notE
is not known. He was discovered by a
maid domestic on Saturday about noon.-
On opening his door she was met by thick
body OF smoke, that much alarmed her, to-
gether with faint groan from the unfor-
tunate man. The family were called, who
found him lying on his back in bed, speech
less and senseless. Medical aid was in
stantly called, and hopes were for some
time entertained of his being again resus-
citated. But after three hours constant APP
plication, he expired. Before removing
him into fresh air, his nostrils and throat
appeared furred up with the lamp eff1uvia,
similar in degree to the fiue of chimney.
The curtains also of the bed were black by
the same Ingredient. no doubt is entertain
ed but this was the cause of his death. The
circumstance ought to be sufficient eau
ton to those who are in the habit Of burn
ing candles and lamps in their rooms dur
ing their sleeping hours, without suitable
ventilators, as an open door, fireplace, win
dow, &c. Indeed, it is injurious to lodge
in closely confined rooms, especially with
more than one person, without any lights.
Lodging rooms, as well as beds ought to
be well aired every dav,
