MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House of Representatives. ofthe
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, 1885, 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 or desire TO reside on the
lond thus granted; that if patented to them, the
eypense of agencies and lakes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
bv preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
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
leent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

~ STATE AGRICULrURAL Society. We desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 23d !,
Oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold it's 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, it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you have
. as good, if not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
the luxury of knowing that others were more en-
filed to success than yourself
And while weNddress you to bring such articles
az are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
.pipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the pr0ahcfs Of The dairy aud Of
the poultry yard preserves. domestic ,oines contec-
tios and, above all things, to come themselves, as
,pittopt iuonan, and the beautiful deliberations Of her
aste and genius no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers If Agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patr-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery Of all kinds, from our present advices,
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 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 audable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer a favor by copying this notice.
