The Committee would remark that the sheep
exhibited were generally very good specimens
of the several kinds; but they regretted that
there was not more competition, as there were
several premiums offered for which there were
no claimants.
The Committee would also beg leave to sug-
gest to the wool growers of Lltch6eld County
the importance Of raising superior quality of
u ,f,,1l
the wool grower Of the Western States, and so
far as their knowledge extends of the present
range Of prices in market. the super6ne wool
pays the best profit to the farmer.
All which is respectfully submitted.

The Kenebec Journal seems to have cond-n
sed the arguments, pro and con, on the alleg-
ed tendency Of Protection TO enrich particular
classes, into very small compass in the follow
ing paragraph:
WHICH IS BEST 1.-The most common and
most popular argument against the Tariff OF
1912 is that it enables tie - manufacturing
Capitalist" to make large profits. Very we'll. II
it be desirable 10 reduce these profits. there
were two ways Of doing it, and the Polk party
have taken the worst way. The better way
was to let the law remain, and under it free
competition would have rapidly multiplied new
works in all branches Of mechanical and manu-
featuring business. making great demand for
labor This competition would have equalized
profits in business generally. The other way
was adopted Of reducing duties and inviting
importations. this not only stops all progress,
all increase in domestic manufactures, but stops
the works altogether in many places, and r edu-
GEES wages every where.
Which is the best policy for the labouring
man!

WASHINGTON,S PSALM.

The Rev. Mr. Waldo, an old revolutionary
veteran from Connecticut, who attended the
celebration at Wesl6e,d on the 4th OF July.
made himself quite interesting at the dinner ia
BILE. He is now neatly ninety years old, but is
in the vigor OF green old age. and was able t
Preach two sermons last Sabbath.
In his remarks he referred to the aluSon
made by the orator to Washington. and observ-
ed that he never heard even the name of that
glorious cheiflain and good man, "wthoul
feeling the cold chllls through his whole sys-
tenn"
He remarked that there was single incident
that came within his personal knowledge,
which he believed was not generally known
1t was that Washington, on the day that he as
sumed the command of the American army al
Cambridge, read and caused to be sung the lois,
Psalm, portion Of which we publish:
If am raised to bear the sword,
I'll take my counsel from thy word
Thy justice and thy heavenly grace
Shall be the pattern of my Ways.
No sons of SANDER, rage and strife,
Shall he companions Of my life;
The naughty look, the heart of pride,
Within my doors shall ne'cr abide
III search the land and raise the lust
TO posts Of houGur, wealth. and trust;
The men that work thy holN will,
| Shall be my friends and tavourit.s still.
In vain shall sinners hope to rise
| ny haitering or maiCious lies
| Nor while the lnuoccn | guard.
snail bold offenders Ger be spared

And all that break the public rest,
Where have power, shall be suppressed.
This psalm the reverend wcr,hv deacon rs,,
on to the company in true primitive stylc.
line at time. which was sung to the tune q
"Old Huodred,' that tune being. as II e oil,
veteran said. just the thing for H."
Modern imPrort men.s in lsalmcdy hay
almost obllerated the good old 2, aims am
Hymns, with many of the tunes tina, the "a

ding. Such Psalm as the one quoted abov
would be deemed a political one a.day
and sorry are we to say it, very many miNisrel
would hardly deem il proper o..e to be sun

ON BUTTER AND CHEESE.

Your Committee in entering upon their du
ties. were gratified to find that with the nec> 8 4
sary attention to other departments, that of thAl
dairy had not been neglected, showing that the
farmers wives of Litchfield county are deter
mined to maintain the high rank which they
have hitherto held. But this fact rendered
the task of the Committee more arduous, as the
articles were all first rate, the difference being
so slight as to render decision difficult on
their comparative merits
William Wheeler exhibited 80 lbs. of bntter
in stamped balls to whom is given the first
premium Of So %.
To Titus L Fart is given the I'd premium of
81 90.
MIR. Wheeler also exhibited sample of but.
Ter Of 90 lbs which was worthy of the premi-
UNI offered under that head. but as in the regu-
lations g no person is entitled to two premiums
on the same kind of agricultural product" they
would divide it equally with the premi.
S,m of 81 90 on the best 10 lbs. between Mr..
Gurdon FilIey and Mrs. Hubbard, giving 81 %
to each.
For the best sample of cheese not less than
so lbs William Wheeler has received the LIST
premium of $3 90. This sample consisted of
three cheeses of about IS lbs. each, unequalied
in richness, and one dozen in pine apple form
The two samples presented by Mr., Lewis c.
Waihams and Mr. Jonathan Wadhams were
SO equally good that we would recommend
division Of the I'd premium of 81 90 between
them.
Mr. Gurdon Filley exhibited box of pine
apple cheese, for which discretionary premi-
UNI of 81 90 is recommended.
10 Mr.. Titus L Hart the first premium of
81 90 on cheese not less than one year old, is a.
warded Some of these and others contained
sage, which agrees remarkably with the taste
of your committee.
Three elegant cheese offered by Mr.. Morse
of the town farm received the I'd premium of
81 90.
All the exhibitors of cheese deserve the
highest praise, and your Committee are very
sorry that they have no more premiums Tor
them: and in conclsion they would invite them
and others TO come forward with their pro.
ducts another year, that the ladies ofLitchheid
county may appear as they really are, unsur-
passed in this as in every other department.
Which is respectfully submitted.

Mr. EDIroR,-In one of the papers, it is stated
that the recruiting officers this station, cannot
enlist sailor in this city-that they refuse to 60
into the Mexican war to die of yellow fever. This
totally false, and must have been published for
some vile purpose. There has been no objec-
ton made on the part of seamen to the war IN
Mexico, and the enlistmen,s have averaged thirty
five week for months past; and some weeks
have extended to over forty; any one may see,
