calculated to give strength and toughness to the
nail, as well as avoid the tendencyto to flaws and
splitting which are the too common defects OF
nails generally.

of the meaning and effect of the language used,

A Card.

The undersigned, proprietors of the Virginia
Iron Works, accustomed heretofore to rely upon
the quality and character of the article manu-
factured by them, as the best and only proper
recommendation of their work, regret at this
late day, being compelled to appear before the
public in reply to an article which appeared in
the Times newspaper, of this city. The article
referred to, processes to be a voluntary tribute,
on the part Of the master workmen of this city,
to the.supeiior quality and standing of the nails
made at the Belmont Iron Works. We invite
the attention of the public to the following GER
tifcate of those gentlemen, themselves, as the
best authority for the manner in which the said
article originated, (asit will be seen) being ex-
pressly solicited, and the motive, viz: 10 secure
custom which prompted member Of the firm
to ask, in his own person, for their recommen-
daton. Regarding the puff accompanying it, by
the editor, as only in the way of his vocation,
we repeat that our apology to the public mus
be a wish TO meet fairy and justly, the recon-
mendation only of the worthy and highly re-
spectacle gentlemen whose signatures are affix.
ed to the certificate.

an editorial in favor of an establishment thai

of the peculiar manner in which they made
their iron, which by the way is falsehood mills
in Pittsburgh making their iron in the same wa,
long before the erection of the Belmont Works,

Vermont ENTERPRISE.

Vermonters ate noted, the world over,
for their enterprise and thrift. Whatever
they undertake, they generally accomplish
While our Maine farmers, when wool de-
clintd in price, slaughtered their sheep till
some neighborhoods could hardly shear
wool enough to furnish themselves with
stocking yarn, Vermonlers, instead of kill
ing off theirs, not only hold on, but have
actually spent thousands of dollars in i'm
porting more from Europe.
We have heretofore given all account OF
the importa ions made by S. W. Jewett,
of Weybridge. He and his friends have
recently had great agricultural festival at
Mlddebury, a short sketch of which has
been published in the Boston Cutivator in
a letter to the editor of that paper, from MI
Jewett himself.
From this we learn that the show o
horses and sheep was superior to anything
OF the kind ever seen in the United States
There were present over eight hundred
sheep and over three hundred horses. Mos
of the horses were of the Morgan breed
ana many OF them were represented a
being very fast ones.
They had trotting course upon tn
ground, where they tried the speed of thei
horses, when they wished to show thei
powers and action.
Over two hundred of the Merinos exhiL
tied were recently imported from France
Some of these were represented TO weiu
from one hundred and fifty to three hui
dred pounds.
There were no premiums given. Ticket
Of admission were sold-those granting
single admission were put at IL 2 cents
those for the season at so cents In this wa
$4,000 were taken at the entra zee gat,
which gave them $500 more than their e,
penses. We think this was pretty SUI
cessful festival, and highly creditable to II
farmers of the Green Mountain State
Maine Farmer.

that the spring, just after the grass began

fermentation of the green grass which was
greatly felt on the first crop, and he though
