The individual who prepared this toast, the
committee who sanctioned it and authorized its
publication, and the company who drank it,
clearly stand responsible for gross charge
against the character of large portion of their

Who are the persons referred to, under the
contemptuous appellation of beggars; and

The Public here, will have an opportunity
on Sunday evening, to enjoy the double pleas
ure of listening to an Oratorio given by the
Harmonic Society of this town, and of contri.
buting TO the aid of very deserving and very
unfortunate fellow townsman.
The services of MIR. Perry in improving the
character of Sacred Music in this town, have
been acknowledged by all who have had an OPP
portunity offormIng an estimate of their value.
The public have often had the qualification
of listening to the performances ofth Society
which will generously volunteer its services
on that occasion, and there could therefore be
little occasion to offer any inducement in addi-
ton TO the pleasure which has always been de.
rived from these exhibitions for full attendance
upon the proposed Oratorlo. But on that &C.
caslon there will be strong additional induce

Papanti and Mr.. Gear, who, though in a good
degree strangers, will, with a most commenda.

Mr.. EDIToR-l am young man, Il subscrib-

therefore cannot be suspected of having CON

the paper For this reason hope TO be heard
patiently, although do not in truth deserve it
more than others, for believe that the story OF
"frebrand' being thrown among us BY older
men, is a sheer coinage of the writer's own
brain, dull as it is. No sir, the honest ind;g.
nation of every young man IN this town who
Joined in the celebration, was reused by the
scurrility and alsehood-barefaced .falsehood
Of the writer of" Paul" Some of the young
men who have felt most on this subject, are Of

CATTLE SHOW.

The Committee of ARRANGEMENTS for the an.
preaching Cattle Show and Exhibition of Man.
uiactures by the Worcester County Agricul.
tnral Society, would respectfully solicit The at
tentlon OF the farmers of the County to the
list OF the premiums offered for that occasion
The Trustees Of the Society, for the purpose of
exciting greater degree of emulation have
added to the number of the premiums for stock,
in the hope that the owners of choice animals
VIII be disposed to offer them at the Exhibition.
1t will be found, by reference to the printed
bills, that two additional premiums have been
offered for bulls-four premiums, in addition
TO those OF last year, are now proposed TO be
gwen for heiJerS-three premiums have been
added for Steers-one additional premium is
offered for merno ewes, and one for weaneG
pigs. For fat cattle, the amount of the pre-
NUNS have been increased and an additional
premium offered The Trustees have not been
unmind:ul of the cluims Of the dairy to public
attention, and they now propose to give four
premiums for butter. and four for cheese instead
OF two as in former years.
In consequence of the omission Of the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural Society to have Show
the present year, it has been the intention of
the Trustees of the Society of this County to
make their Exhibition as interesting as is pos
sIble and they have appropriated large pro-
portion of the dsposable funds of the Society,
to the benefit of the growers OF stock, The Com
mlttee confidently expect, that from the in
creased number of the animals offered for the
Exhibition, and the improved appearance of
their Sh0ac, there will be found to have been no
mistake in this calculation.

tuck, the first practising physician of that
town. He was graduated at Harvard Univer.
Slty in 1877 and was tho chum and class mate
of Thomas o. Selfridge, Esq, late member OF
the Bar in Boston. He never studied any pro-
fession, but soon after leaving college was APP
pointed Midshlpman in the U. S. Navy. This
appointment, he soon resigned, and after hav.
ing been employed as captain in mercantile
service for few years, he migrated to the West
and finally settled upon plantation near Lit
tie Rock in the Territory of Arkansas, where
he died on the 29th of May last, at the age OF 81
His father, DR.. Benjamin Shattuck, was BON
in Lttleton, Nov. IL, l742, and settled as a
physician in Templeton, by invitation of the
town, in ITO, and died Jan. IA, 1894. An in.
teresting notice Of him may be found in Mr.
