Gtepheh Davis, OF Oxford, sent IN for exhi-
billion, only, fine pair of bfindle oxen, 6 years
old, well built, and of beautiful appearance
They were all choice cattle, Of remarkable
strength, well matched, docle and easily gov
erned. Their size, their appearance, and their
work, were highly gratifying to the Commit
tee, and attracted, notwithstanding the unfa-
Vorable weather, the attention of such crowd
OF spectators, that they are justified in saying,
that well may their owners be proud of such
cattle, and all of us, of the day that brings to-
gether SO much strength and beauty The
unt!rlng patience and the steady perseverance
OF the well trained OK, while at labor together
with the value of his flesh when his labor is
done, make him no less an object of admiration
to all, than OF real profit to his owner
In the discharge of their duty, the Commit
tee have adhered strictly to the rules of the
Society, which have long been before the pub
lie. They are universally acknowledged to be
Just and equitable, and in administering them
we have been impartial
Yet, it was not, in all instances, easy to
satisfy ourSeiges, it Will not be surprising il we
have not satisfied all others. We noticed with
much pleasure the brass buttons on the horns
Of most of the oxen; they are useful as well as
ornamental; and, with red yokes, display judy
nent and taste in their owners.
After comparing the size, form, and equality

To Benjamin Woodbury., of Sutton, Sd do 10
To Silas Allen, jr. of Shrewsbury, 9Th do. 5
The Committee are DESTROYS To notice, in a
particular and public manner, the excellent
cattle of Messrs. Stephen Marsh IT, Joseph

! for his years old cattlc-their strength anC
discipline deserve more than our praise. Al
excellent team of 65 Jokes of Working Oxen
only the vanguard of greater force, made
their appearance for third time from Shrews-
bury. Having been driven round the common
and viewed by the Committee and Society,
they passed through the street on their way
home, with the thanks of all for the honor they
had done to the day and the occasion, and no
less to themselves for so proud display OF
their public spirit and praise-worthy example
A few days since we heard voice from the
North and hope another year TO see in this
place whence it proceeded. Our brother farm
ers in that quarter have good cattle and pub
lie spirit; and we should be glad to have them.
and others who have not done it, give their
testimony on the stand.

REPORT

0fhe Directors Of the .4u1iljary Bible Society
Of Worcester County, presented al their an
aual meeting, IN Leicester, Sept. 10, 1897.
The Board of Directors present their con-
gratulatons TO the Society on this anniversary
for the continued smiles of heaven on the great
and good object for which this and similar as
sociatons were formed. They rejoice in all
the happy influences which these associations
have exerted on any portion of the great hui
man family in the kindly feelings they have
called forth in the different sects of christians,
prompting them to act in harmony, rs one
great brotherhood, in the divine work Of benev-
olenco in the increased interest they have ex-
cited through the community in relation to the.
sacred writings in the timely and liberal sup
plies they have afforded the destitute, IN our
own, and in foreign lands; and in the aid they
have, in these and in other ways, contributed
to the advancement Of the Redeemer's king
dom. Is it not delightful reflection, that
there is one object at least, in which all chris
tians are united in promoting which they
can forget for season their mutual iealousies
and heart burnings, and know each other only
by that honorable nano which was first given
at Antioch2
The influence Of these associations upon
those persons, who before possessed copies OF
the Holy Scriptures, in leading them to feel a
deeper interest in them, and to mako them
selves more familiar with their heavenly con-
tents, has not, it is believed, been inconsidera-
ble
But, in order fully 10 appreciate the impor-
lance ofthese noble Institutions, we must learn

IF THAT HIGH WORLD.

If that high world which lies beyond
Onr own, surviving love endears
fthere the CHERISHED heart be found,
The eye the same except in tears
How welcome those untrodden spheres!
How sweet this very hour to die
To soar from earth and fed all fears
Lost in thy light-Eternity
1t must be SO It's not for self
That we SO trenble on the brink
And, striving to o'erleap the gulf,
Yet cling to beings severing link.
Oh! in that future let US think
To hold each heart the heart that shares
With them the immortal waters drink
And soul in soul grow deathlcss sheirs.

A COLD WINTER.

Since the goth Of December this truly may
be termed hard winter; and during the past
week in particular, the cold has seldom, if ever
been, as intense within our recollection. The
winds since that period have generally prevail
ed from NJ w. and W. with very little rain, and
but one light fall of snow. Wednesday, Thurs.
day, Friday, and Saturday, were remarkably
cold days. The ice on Friday night extended
itself across the river from the Forts as low as
Craney Island; and the steamboat Hampton
which left here with the Northern mail on Sat-
urday morning for Hampton and Old Point,
finding the obstruction 10 her progress insur-
mountabie, returned. The sail boat with the
arriving Northern mail from Hampton, encoun-
tered the ice below at later period Of the day,
when it was rendered less firm by the action Of
the sun, and about three O'Clock had worked
her way up nearly between the Forts, when she
was brought to complete stand, and found it
impossible 10 proceed There were large
