now, without entering into a scientific analysis of
the reasons, for all practical purposes, it is only

| Mn. EpiToR: ! am pleased 10 see the various
counties in this State forming Agricultural Socic.
! ties. 1t shows an increasing interest in Agricul-
tural improvement. Although Vermont has been
behind some Of the States in the application OF sci
ence t. agriculture, yet she stands at the head Of
the other States in her agricultural projections
This is the result of her industry. Then, surely,
with her industry combined with science, Nermoat
might become very eminent.
Industry, without knowledge, is very likely to be
msapplied and Improbable. There is too much
guess work in vogue among our farmers it is high
time they began to see things clelrly-t is too late
in the day TO laugh down book farming; and if
farmers do not wish to be behind the times or
suffer their neighbors to get the start OF them. and
consequently see others prospecting at their expense,
let them take hold of the matter in earnest, and
not wait to be pulled along by professional mon,
who seem to take more interest in their improve
mcnt than themselves.
| wish more particularly to call the attention Of
the farmers Of Olnngo county, to the importance Of
forming an Agricultural Society. 1t seems strange
that county almost exclusively agricultural should
be so backward in this movement. Are the people
all asleep to their own interest? There seems to
be lack of enterprise somewhere. 1t is a shame
to them that they are so willing to be taxed to sup
port Societies in other counties while they neglect
to secure the benefit Of one to themselves; yet such
is The fact. A well conducted Society in this
county, would be of vast benefit to The community
The Agricultural Fairs would be kind of market
for farmers. Cattle, sheep, and all kinds of do
nestle animals would there be exhibited and for
sale. The benefits would be ncalculable. hope
10 see old Orange moving very soon.

BREACH OF PRoMsE.-A breach of promise
case OF rather a novel character, has lately been
before the twelve Judges of England The lady
sued her quondam lover for the non-iulflment of n
contract in which he engaged to marry her in u
reasonable time, after she should have requested
him to do so. But he waited some time, and as
she did not ask him, he married another His de-
fence was, that the lady had never made the re-.
quest, and therefore he had not violated any con-
tract Lord Denman, however, held that the mar
that he had no right to take advantage of his own
wrong, by which he had rendered it impossible for
him to comply with the request, if it had been
made. The marriage itself was in fact breach
of the original contract and clearly entitled the
plaintiff to maintain the action without alleging
any request. Justice Coeridge remarked that
there had been no attempt to show that more than
reasonable time for making the request had trans
pred, and so all the Judges concurred, and the la
dy will recover damages
