The Baltimore Annual Conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has,
we understand. determined upon es
tablisbihg, within its jurisdiction, a
College, in which a liberal education
may be obtained. The Western Shore
of Maryland, the Southern part of
Pennsylyania, and the Northern part
of Virginia, are comprehended within
the bounds Of this Conference; and, we
learn, that the location Of the College
IL contemplated at one Of two points: :
either at Boonsborough, in MARYLAND.
or at Iecsburg, in Virginia. With q
view to securing its location at Boons-
borough. the citizens Of that place are
now engaged in procuring Subscriptions
conditioned upon its establishment
there and We understand that they
have already obtained subscriptions 10
the amount Of about $4,000. As this
institution is not 60 be conducted upon
sectarian principles, and as its esta
blIshment IN tlic county must necessa-
rIly afford facilities 10 It's citizens, and
add to its wealth and character. II is 10
be hoped that general and liberal e.
fort may be made to accomplish that
object, by those Of its inhabitants who
have the means Of exercising a Judi.
eious li5eraIity.-C Torch Light.

MI. Cyril Finn o ! Hardwick, exhibited an in
strUment for extr1cting teeth. so inviting in APP
peafaRce and ingenious in construction as to
make ones mouth water TO experience its ap.
plcation.
Messrs Rice g. Drury of Worcester, exhibit
ed Coach Wrench and two Hammers of poll
ished steel, Of improved construction and ex-
quisitely beautiful workmanship,-for which the
Committee recommended gratuity of two
dollars.
Messrs. e. G. & A.:Partridge of Worcester
exhibited a Work Table from their factcry Of
beautiful wood and good workmanship.
|. & Nj Pool Of Easton, Mass }. exhibited a
Genmetrical Protractor for surveyors, engi-
neers and craftsmen, graduated by a machine
of their own invention. IL isof simple con-
struction but of extensive and valuable a5plica-
ton, particularly useful in making plots of land
and might be very conveniently used in
making plans of every town for the map of the
State, if that desirable object should not be too
long protracted.
The committee examined twelve patent
prong hoes, nade'by Messrs. Woods g. Lowe
they are Of good work and are furnished at
a very reasonable price to any farmer who
shall break orwear out his old ones, for it can
not be supposed that any Worcester county
farmer is destitute, except by such accident, Of
SO useful implements of hssbandry.
Messrs Leonard &c Tyler of Worcester and
NTlilbury exhibited superfne hat of good
workmanship.
>Ploughs of very good workmanship were ex.
hibted by Mr.. Joel Nurse of Shrewsbury.
Several agricultural m lchnes were shown
kythc owners or inventors-but not being en-
tered according to the rules of the society,
were not particularly examined.
Among other articles, not exactly mannfac-
tured, were seven pumpkins weighing OBJ lbs
raised by Mr.. Artemas Bartlett of Holden,
from one seed.
In conclusion the committee recommended
that there be awarded 20 each person who has
furnished articles to increase the interest of
the occasion, as a gratuity, the thanks of the
society.

other year
The committee would remark, in closing
their report, that all the ploughs in the field,
with one exception, were of cast iron, and gen.
orally with rollers, and many with cutters at.
tached to the same and it IS no more than
just tribute to the skill of the Mechanics to say,
that sia of the above ploughs which obtained
the premiums, were constructed by Mr.. Nurse
OF Shrewsbury, with castings of A. s. T. Hanks,
Hartford, Connecticut. The rollers and cut
tiers were all so constructed, that they might be
removed at pleasure, as necessity or conven-
venlence might require.
The time which each competitor consumed
IN dofng tho work varied from % to "A minutes
occupying more time in the whole, asyour COM
miltee believe, than has been consumed on for
mer occasions. Blu: the committee, in forming
their-opinions upon the merits OF fhe respective
competitors, had but little regard TO the time of
performing the work, unless their claims were
n'ethcr respects equal web knowing that, in
pt0nghtng al least, to run is not always to be
! gloriied
The committee only would add that the work
was all we'll done, ard not single land was
lploughed on the occasion that would not do
credit to- the best farmer in the County. The
uniform beauty and good training which our
| Worcester County Oxen have hitherto display
ed, was equally conspicuous on this occasion
and the committee congratulate themselves and
their fellow citizens throughout the County,
that we have this day sustained our reputation
for good Oxen, good Pioughs and good Men to
use them-All which is respectfully submitted

The whole of these operations are performed
