entitled Poems 6v Matilda which appeared some
two or three years since OF these poems, Daniel,
then of the E1crxiaer better known for mis- denun-

authors held this language: "Some of them are

Mr. y. Francis Cabell, OF this neighborhood. an
able contributor to some of our magazines, has, it
is said the finest private library in this region, and
il is doubted whether better can be found IN the
State.
Reudolph's remark to the Bookseller to the effect
that he (the bookseler) quite familiar with the
outside of ten thousand volumes, but entirely un.
lanllaC with the Inside Df q solitary one docs not
apply to Mr.. Cabell. He is reader of all his books
original and philosophic thinker, and chaste
and handsome writer.
Speaking Of Mr.. Catel / reminded Of the
late Agricultural Fair OF Virginia at which he acted
az chairman of an important committee. As Viz
ginians, we are pleased to know that the affair
passed of with such ecIGt. Every body unites with
you in awarding just praise TO those through whose
labors it was gotten up. TO General Richardson
particularly our farmers and planters are loud in
their expressions Il kindness and gratitude. They
will, douot not, carry out most willingly the sug-
sesti0n TO present hun medal, a service of plate
or some other substantial evidence of their appre
citation OF his efficient la6ors in their cause.
That the Agricultural Society will accomplish
much for the State, ifeficiently conducted cannot
admit OF doubt. Under its present auspices it
has IN very brief period, surpassed the expecta
sIons OF the nloss sanguine to beneficial results
Its future is bright. But to secure any great and
lasting benefit to the State, the Society must oon
tinue IFS organization and its active efforts through
series OF years
Asyet, they have merely put the ball in motion.
Let them strengthen their organization, meet
ayear at the capital brother farmers interchange
opinions about farms and farming, exhibit speci
mems of whatever productions may arrest the a.
entisn OF the progressive and utilitaran and III less
than dozen years we report progress with
pride and pleasure. The ball put IN motion in 1853,
will have rolled over the entire Comm onwealth,
enriching every CALLED spot upon the old fields with
in its limits. Proudly, then. may the Agricultural
Society turn to the Commonwealth in the language
of the old lady's children: There, mother. we
have GoRe IT," RAMBLER.
