The day passed During the school hours
George aud Mary bad almost forgotten that
their tree was d,iag; but at evening as they
drew their chairs to the table where their
mother was sitting, and began to arrange the
seeds they had been gathering, the remem

"Mother." said Mary, you may give these
seeds to counin John; never want another

would like to be informed of the result of
Alonzo Bingham, Esq.'s sheep shearing, al
the far famed establishment of Mr.. Hyde's
Sudbury, which came of on the LIST and %
instant and Knowing you take lively in
terest in Agricultural pursuits, | have
thought proper to send you a brief account
of the " doIngs" as we Yankees say, on tha
occasion.
The weather was very fine, and multi
tudes from the region round about, as well
as many from distance, were on hand, to
enjoy the same. Ii was computed that
there were over two thousand present on
the last day, aud the occasion was enrich
ed and enivened BY the Mddlebury Band,
and AmphIon singers, who dlscoursed
sweet music, much to the qualification OF
those present, The speaking and ,oasts
were to come off in the afternoon of the
last day, and as left short time previous,
| am not able to give them TO you. IN
derstand they were excellent. Whether
the toast wrote and handed to friend
was read or not | cannot say. If i, was
not, it ought to have been, as you will testl-
fy. This is il:
John A. fainter and Solomon W. Jew

Posterliy will award to them the title Of
benefaclors of their race"
Nothing but sickness will prevent these
gentlemen, with the Messrs. Binghams
from being present at our next State FAN
at Montpelier, and you may Just say to
friend Baxter. of Derby Line, TO bring on
those farmers in his section, who would like
to see those enierprising citizens. "and

day was sheared some forty yesrling ewes
that averaged fifteen pounds aud half a

CIRCULAR SAw.-The above is an in
venlion lately patented in France, by NJ.
Smyers, machinist, al Chattemoue, for
saving and polishing slabs of slate. Ii
consists of two circular saws mounted
on separate shafts, which dress at the
same time with the greatest exacInes the
two opposite and parrellel sides, and al
forwards the two other sides in perpen-
dicular direction to the former. The
slab placed in truck is approached of
its own accord by the movement of the
machine as the saws turn round. Ii
follows that the operation is performed
very rapidly, and with very little manual
labor. This machine is applicable for
slabs Of marble and stone.
