THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Maryland state Agricultural Society.
4 PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Re desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 3d.
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at The city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions Of your Stock
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits fany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
is as good if not better than that of others, and
that behooves you To calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
lied 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
,oipes and daughters 10 bGiaS whatever appertaIns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures the prJaitts Of the dairy aud Of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic toineS conec
lions, and above all things, to come themselves, as
,otthom ooman, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no-dispiay can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otsm both combine to enjOln upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advces
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States Of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement 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 laudabe-is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart. ."

fer favor by copying this notice.

T EoNARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold sire p
| .Neio York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agrl-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAI
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, +. X. s.. Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &c; assisted
by JOHN p. NORTON, NJ "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 20 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engrdvings 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,
haying, 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 incalcuIabe value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of Ga pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers ofwhich there will be
at least twenty-five.

AND
BLAcKwooD's EDNBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class
Blackoood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and Isl at this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer 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 "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "My PENINSULA,
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
ofwhlch numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after has been issued by .Nessrs. Scot
G. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of thai
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. oftht
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th 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 nlemorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e
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
igent and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
nav be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray &c.
