in the bay, driven in by stress of weath>

he would most likely pay avisit to Green

Spanish cargees are rife enough.

Addison County VII Fair.

The Agricultural Society of this County
held its exhibition at Vergennes, on the 25th
of September. The County embraces the
richest portion, perhaps, of that part OF Yer
mont, lying between the Green Mountains
and Lake Champlain. 1t is a district more
especially devoted to grazing, than any 9TH
er branch of farming. Hence it was to be
expected, that the leading objects of this ex-
hibition would be the various kinds Of live
stock, particularly horses, cattle and sheep.
In all these classes Of animals the display
was highly respectable, and in horses it was
decidedly fine. BY the politeness of j. H.
BARRETT, Esq, Secretary of the Society,
we are enabled to state the aggregate num-
ber of animals exhibited, excepting swine,
as follows cattle, 1856; horses, "a; sheep,
ll2.
Among the horses, the "Black Hawk "
stock was very conspicuous. With the ex-
ception of one breeding mare, five years
old, the oldest of this stock exhibited were
but four years old. None of them compe-
ted in the Class of matched horses in the
other classes comprising twenty premiums,
the progeny Of Black Hawk took fourteen,
including the premium Tor the best breed
ing mare, best single driving horse. (mate
or geldingl," and all the first premiums ex-
ceptne one. Among them were some very
superior animals. Such stock as the four
year'old mares Of MIR. Sherman of YER
gennes, and Mr.. Moore of Shoreham, the
two-year-od colt OF Mr.. johnson of Mid
dlebury, and the yearlings of Mr. Doanc
and MIR. Moore OF Shoreham, and Mr.. Ad
ans of Panton as well as others of the same
family, cannot fail to be highly valued ant
admired.
The sheep were mostly Merinos, ihougl
there were some Saxons and some Leiees
ters. With the facilities for rapid and easy
transportation to market, which are now o
pen to this section by railroad, we have n,
doubt that the production of mutton, on til,
best land, will be found profitable and th
English breeds of sheep, or some crosse,
from them, will be adopted to a considerabl
extent. Those who intend to engage il
rearing this description of sheep, should en-
deavor to breed from the very best animals
We venture 10 give this hin, from the eli
cumNance that most of the Leicesters eS
hibited here, did not appear to be well brcC

Winter Apples.

quested the subscriber, on their behalf to
make report to the Society at the annual
meeting. | have very little personal expc-
rience on this subject, except in regard to
Grapes. Yet after the instructions / have
obtained and expect to obtain from the
Committee from much conversation with
many good judges on this subject in this
County and from an examination in regard
to the most salcabe apples in Boston and in
London, | may possibly venture to make a
few suggestions. | write this article partly
to invite hints on the subject from those who
can give me information, especially from
personal experience And as the communi-
ty is interested, hope for information YER
bal or written.
As find that many are making inquiries
for trees, to set out this Autumn or in the
Spring, will offer suggestion in regard to
winter apples only, and solely for the bene-
fit of those, who have very little acquairt>
anee with this subject. Give the Baldwin
preference. Were l setting out hum
dred trees for winter apples and determined
to have half dozen varieties, | would take
at least fifty Baldwins and for the rest
Pecks Pleasant as substitute for the New
town Pippin, though l would take few
Pippins in the hope thar our climate, espe-
cially near the lake, may yet produce them
in as fine style, as does Connecticut; also,
the Canada Red, or the Esopus Spleen
burgh which is not considered quite so hard
y; the Swaar for light soils only; the
Rhode Island Greening the Roxbury Rus
setting and, for sweet winter apple, the
Danvers or English or Ladies Sweeting.

Recollections of Thomas Campbell.

In his intercourse with society, Camp
bell was shrewd observer Of those Of
ten contradictory elements, Of which il is
composed. Adyerling 10 the absurd and
ludicrous, he had the art or talent of
heighlening their effect, by touches pe>
culiarly his own while the quiet gravity
with which he related his personal an
ecdoles or adventures, added greatly to
the charm, and often threw his uusus-
pectng hearers into uncomfortable fits
OF laughter. Nor was the pathos with
which he dilated on some tale Of human
misery less captivating; il runs through
all his poetry, and in hearing or relating
a story of human wrongs or suffering,
we have often seen him affected TO tears,
which he yainly sirove 10 conceal by an
abrupt transition TO some ludlcrous Incl
dent in bis own personal history. As an
example, which has not yet found lis
way to the public, We may relate the fol.
lowing, which he told, one evening in
our little domestic circle, where he was
frequent visitor. and where the conver
satiou had taken, as he thought, some
what too serious turn:

Sunday the third of March was our
intended sailing day, but as the wind
blew from an unfavorable quarter, we
only unmoored the ship from Central
Wharf, and dropped down the harbor a
little, where she was brought to anchor.
Monday morning dawned pleasantly,
and with it came stiff and fair breeze.
At 9 o clock, the Pilot boarded us, and
the cheerful cry OF All hands up an~
chor ahoy," sounded through the ship.
You may think strange, that say the
cheerful cry, as we were now on the eve
of starting on long, and perhaps. per

Autumn.

Upon lcaf-strewn walk,
I wander on amid the sparkling dcws;
Where Autumn hangs, upon each frost-gem-
med stalk,
Her gold and purple hues =
Where the tall fox -govesi ishakc
Their loose bells to the wind, and each sweet
flower
Bows down its pcrfumod blossoms, to partakc
The influence of the hour;
Where the cloud shadows pass
With noisclcss speed by lonely lake and rll,
Chasing each other through ths low crispcd
grass,
And up the distant hill =
Where the clear stream steals on
Upon its silent path, as it were sad
To find each downward-gazing flower has gone
That made it once SO glad.

Seeking shelter from the summer rays
Where flowers and wild birds dwell
While gemmed with pearl-drops bright
Green leaves and silken buds were dancing there,

"And blessed them, unaware"
How changed each sylvan scene!
Where is the warbing bird the suns clear rayl
The waving brier-rose and foliage green,
That canopied my way
Where is the balmy breeze
That famed so late my brow ! the sweet south.

That, whispering music TO the listening trees,

Where are the notes Of Spring?
Yet the brown bee still huns his quiet tune,
And the low shiver Of the insects wing
Disturbs the hush of noon.

Like flames Of amber, quiver in the light;
While Autumn round her silver frct.work

In glittering hoar.frost white.
