Friday and another on Sunday evening, to
the citizens of Fitchburg in aid of the cause
in which he is engaged, and high as our

hearers irresistably to conviction of the
vast Importance of taking speedy and de-
cided stand against the great, though we
are happy to believe, decreasing, evil of in

room to take any further notice of this sub

annual exhibition, together with the plough

day the 9TH day of October next. These
occasions call together large
number of the yeomanry of our county, and
afford good opportunity for strangers to
Judge Of the character of our population.
That character wiH stand the test of severe
scrutiny. The address before the society
will be delivered, says the Worcester Coun-
ty Republican, by William Lincoln, Esq,

ware Gaz., that "Mr. Thomas Rodney, Com
mercial Agent at Havana, has been removed,
