LANCASTER GAZETTE.

A society has been formed in Salem for
the protection of orchards and gardens from
depredations of thieves.
WINsHIP's NURSERY. All our readers,
probably, are not acquainted with the fact
that Narsery, on an extensive scale, has
been established by Messrs. Winship, of
Brighton. The proprietots have been care
full and assiduous in their endeavours to col
lect a sufficient variety of the most approved
trees, shrubs, plants, and roots, and have
made arrangements to supply them at mod
crate prices. We cannot but hope that this
enterprise will find liberal share of favour
with the inhabitants of this vicinity. Far
mers, and all, indeed, who have even small
spot of land to cultivate, can well and profit
ably devote portion of their time to the
culture of fruit trees, if not to such produc-
tions as are calculated merely to please the
taste. AS to ornamental trees, there is no
householder, we trust, on the beautiful and
fertile soil of the heart Of the Commonwealth,
who will begrudge the very trifing expense
of adjoining his residence with something
which will defy comparison with any of the
arts of man.
catalogue of Messrs. Winship's Nurse
ry has just been published, copy of which
will be given to any who are DESTROYS of a
vailing themselves of this very favourable
opportunity of supplying themselves with
fruit trees, ornamental and Towering shrubs,
herbaceous plants, or dubious roots. Apply
at this Office, or at the Lancaster Bookstore,
the proprietors of which are Agents for the
Nursery.
BRIGHToN CATTLE Show. The annual
farmers festival took place at Brighton on
Wednesday last. Though the weather was
unfavourable, the exhibition attracted much
company. The pens were well filled with
animals, constituting, says the New-England
Farmer, an exhibition "superiour to what
we have ever before witnessed at Brighton"
Worcester county bore the palm in this part
of the show. B. Harrington of Princeton,
obtained the first premium, of IS dollars, for
fat cattle, and Gen. Towne, of Charlton, the
second, of 90 dollars. Mr.. Harrington also
obtained premiums, of Is dollars for the best
bull calf, and 90 dollars for the second best
milch COW. Mr.. J. L. Boylston, of Prince
ton, obtained premiums, of Is dollars for the
second best bull calf, Is dollars for the third
best mich cow, and IL dollars for the best
young heifer. The Ploughing Match was
ably contested by nine double and ten single
teams. Silas Dudley, of Sutton, obtained
the first premium, of Is dollars. He also
obtained premium of dollars for swine.
Mrs. J. Hunter and Mrs. J. Ranger, of New
Braintree, obtained the first and second pre-
Imiums, OF and 4 dollars, fer linen sheeting.
tanned premiums at Worcester.
The exhibition of Manufactures was def
cient; this branch seems to have lost all in
terest, except at the exhibitions of the New
England Society.
1t will be seen in another column that Mr..
Boylston, of Princeton, obtained the premi-
um of 100 dollars, which it will be remem-
bered was offered by number of gentlemen
of Boston. The complimentary notices Of
the enterprising citizens of Princeton, which
we have extracted from the Boston papers,
are richly merited.

convened at Montpelier, on the 9th inst Robert
b. Bates was chosen Speaker of the House. The
GoVernour Crafts delivered his speech on the 10TH
in which he recommends some improvement in the
law providing for the support of common schools
and cautions the General Assembly to proceed with
great prudence in acting upon applications for bank
charters The GOVERNOR, in the close of his speech,
made the following just and well-founded remarks
"There is another subject, which 1
approach with reluctance, but which the
solemn duty owe to my country induces
