fnd only two artists entering the arena

The Committee found some articles which
were not numbered. They were skillfully
made, and exhibited no ordinary talent
Your Committee supposed they were put in
Cor exhibition, and not for competition for
premium. and they therefore content them
selves with the notice Of their exhibition.
Your Committee would also take this op
portunity to say that the value Of the exhi
bition and its attractiveness was increased
by the rich display Of eleg,n, goods Of vari
Gus descriptions from the Dry Goods store;
Of L. ii. c. Hooper OF this town. and thu
Messrs. Fisher &. Seigman OF Saco. The
goods Of these we'll known and en,erprizins
firms, consisting oi Carpetings of the rich
est texture, Silks OF the finest lusire, anC
every variety Of fancy goods, were arranget
in the best style on the sides Of the Hall
and laid upon the tables, and attracted mucl
attention.
Your Committee feel highly grati6ed h
see these important aids In the manufacture
OF Cotton and Woolens arrive at so high
point Of taste and workmanship, all OF which
n respectfully submitted.

Having disposed Of The frs, class, your
Committee, having been admonished by
the great body which were presen, by
their representatives, 10 be respectful, ami
even delicate in their examinations, and
mindful also Of The ancient reputation OF
the class, proceeded 10 notice The delegates
in the order in winch :hey found them
placed.
Tweniy.hree representatives, small and
great, appeared 10 speak for this latter class,
as follows:
one Sow and ten pigs entered by Jerry
Wadlin, OF Biddefurd.
One Sow and five pigs en,eIed by Samuel
Milliken, OF Saco.
Two Boars entered by George v. Jordan,
of Saco.
One Boar entered by Thomas Desmond,
OF Biideford.
One Hog entered by Timothy H. Locke,
OF Biddeford.
One Hog entered BY Japhe, c. Locke, Of
Bidieiold.
One Pig. 9 months, entered by Elisha
Height, OF Saco.
Your Committee say with pleasure and
pride ,ha, they find no trace OF any evil
spirits remaining in either ol these natives.
The mothers, with their families, appeared
10 be well bred, aifeciona,e, and depor,ed
themselves with proprieiy OF manner
which could not be excelled.
The males appea cd 10 be well bred -
Some Of them would compare favorably
in this respec, with their associates from
yonlh, aud lad acquired as much informa.
ton as they could probably obtain without,
being sent TO more advanced teachers, and
all OF them had that indiscribable manner
which so sells off and adorns gentleman

ing Sow. This lady is Of Suffolk mixed
breed, only l3 months old, has very mai.
ronly appearance, aud her len children, 7
weeks old, are beauties, and so much alike
that your Committee could see no material
difference in conduct or weight Of charac.
ter. They averaged 35 lbs. each. They
also award 10 Mr.. Wadlin the Socieiy's frs,
premium for The bes, liner Of pig.
The Sow presented by Mr.. Milliksn was
beautiful one. and most prolific breeder,
having had fily.eigh, pigs !, all, and your
Committee did mol come TO the conclusion
to look with more favor upon the one pre-.
senied BY Mr. Wadlin wi,hou, some hesi.
iation. But having come 10 this conclusion,
they could only wish, while awarding 10 Mr..
Milliken the 2d premium, and also the 2j
prsmirm for the 2h best litter Of pigs, that
the amounts Of the two premiums were
nearer equal.

IMPURE LANGUAGE.-There are some habits
which we can never entirely annihilate, after
we have once formed them. The use of inn
pure language is one of these habits. 1t may
be subdued and slumber for years, till its ex-
istence is almost forgotten and then, in the
delirium of fever, it may suddenly burst forth,
to the establishment of all who listen. Many a
devoted Christian in the delirium of o sick bed,
has shocked his friends by the use of profane
and obscene language, which could be ex-
planned only by the fact that he had been fami-
liar with such language in early life. In read
ing the memoir Of DIR. Grant, the missionary to
the HISTORIANS, was struck with the fact rela-
ting to his last illness. For seventeen days
previous to his death, he was...in a delrium /;
but, says his biographer, " though speaking al
most constantly on many topics, in three diff
ferent languages-that is, English, Turkish
and Syriac-he did not utter q single word he
would have been ashamed of afterwards. His
associates listened to these disclosures of his
secret heart, and wondered that nothing APP
peared they would have wished to conceal.
