MaryIand State Agricultural society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIErY.-We desire
that YOU should bear in mind, that on the go,
Gath, and 25th days of October, your Society Will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al the city cf
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your stocH'
the products Of your orchards, and Of your garaens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t Is
only bv comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you nave
is as good if not better than that Of others, and
thai il behooyes YOU to calamity enter the list of
competition if defeated honorabiy, and the high
character of the Judges is guarantee that you
can he defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
the luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
uires and daughters to bring whatever aPpertains
TO their peculiar departments as embroidery, hoSe-
hold manufactures, tie products Of the dairy and o.
the poultry yard, preserves domestic tcines co9ec-
tions and above all things, to come themselves, as
,r,ltoui pon,an, and the beautiful celebrations o. her
taste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest ana Patri-
otsm both combine to enon upon you the pro-
prie,y Of making grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices'
we are led to believe that the assemblaSe OF iarm-
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here o.,
Elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Inement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

T EONARD SCOTT & CO., No. "a Gold street,
J. Ntn York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Black wood =
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agr-
cultural work, called the
|" FARMER GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRIcULTURE,"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, F. X. S., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor Of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &c. assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c.
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with l8 or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than GOO engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
hayng, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render It Of ncaculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthy
numbers OF ia pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at IS cents each, IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-two
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NoRrH BRITIsm REVIEW Gree church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLACKwoops EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals their class.
Black,cood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel (both by BuIwer,) "My PeninsuIar
Medal, 1.-The Green Hand" and other serials,

leading publishers in this country, have to be ref

MEMORIAL. ,..
To The Senate and House of Representatives of The
United States in Congress assembled: The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled 10 Bounty Land, under the act
Of 2sh Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect desire to reside on the
land thus granted !; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun es
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
liqen and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV he so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &C.
