thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, 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 Is or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 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,
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 incalculabe value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of "a pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be

The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW conservative
The EDnBuRoH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW Gree Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but 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
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class
Black.cood, still under the mastery guidance OF
CHRISTOPHER North, mantairs its ancient celebrity,
and u.s. at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as 'srhe Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" doth by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, I" "The Green Hand" and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after it has been issued by Messrs Scot
& Co., SO that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF THE

M8ryland State Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY We desire
that you should bear in mind, that the Odd,
24th and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition aud 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 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
haracter Of the judges is guarantee that you
an 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
,uives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold the proaicts of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic Wines contec
tions, and above all things, to come themselves, as
,o,hout ,conpa, and the beautiful Celebrations of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturer Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advces,
we are led to believe that the assembage 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 laudable-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.

MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House of Representatives fthe
Laited States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 2th 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, assum ef
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
ligent 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.
