To Our READERS IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS
We have received document, Of which the
following is copy, from one of our Southern
readers
Received Of Mr. Montgomery, the Of ten doila Is

(pcstage included). JOHN RICARDO,
SO. Agent and Travelling Correspondent.
PASS CHRmnAS, July 3, ls54.
1t seems that this Mr.. Ricardo has been
6nanciering after the most approved modern
fashion, and obtaining money on the pretcoce
that he was an agent and travelling correspoa-
dent. As We have frequently stated, We have
no agents anywhere, except United States Post
masters who forward subscriptions to the He
RAID office. We regret that our readers should
be done out Of their money by such men as Ri
cardo, but We know of only one way by which
they can guard against such occurrences in
future. They should apply to Their Postmas-
tiers, subscribe for the HERALD. and read it at
tentively. Thereby they will become perfectly
well posted up in all the wicked ways Of this
wicked world, and be able to receive the kicar-
dos in manner appropriate to their deserts.

HORSE EXHIBITIONS or LIVE

HORSE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. or LIVE
STctK-Not T. e least sign If healthy progress
in the United States 10 the attention which has
lately been paid to improvements ia agriculture
OF d tie breeding of live stock III amount OF
capital inv, ste in what is call d fancy stock, OF
ell kinds, from ten thousand do lar stallion
down 10 five dollar chicken, is enormous; and
with some peop'e the pursuit has become sort
Of monomania. Grand conventions, with dele
cations of bipeds and quadrupeds, are held
every year in every State, and they result pro-
fitably TO all parties concerned. The agricul-
tural societies gil their coffers-the breeder
sells bis ST OK for round sum- and the farmer
obtains vest amount of useful inf rmation.
Formerly all varieties of animals were sent TO
these great bazaars; but as time passed away
many persons found that they could make their
vocation mere pleasant and more lucrative by
paying attention to one branch. Some of these
gentlemen bent their energies toward chicken
cocps, Others were attracted by the magnificent
proportions of Devon bulls aud Hereford cows,
while third class have proved to demonstra-
ton that the speed, strength, endurance and
appearance Of the horse may be improved to a
wonc erful extent. The success of the expert
ments with China and Malay fowls filed the
pockets Of many speculators and societies for
the improvements Of domestic poultry have been
fmmtd in several States. These s. cieties have
given novel, unique and successful exhibitions,
sptly termed Hen Conventions" Cattle
shows have proved no less interesting and
lucrative; but the greatest triumph Was
reserved for the horse breeders, who held their
first fair at Springfield, Mass, In September,
1853. Fifteen hundred dollars worth Of pre-
miums were distributed one thousand horses
we're OH the ground, and nearly thirty thousand
ladies and gentlemen witnessed he show. The
profits are eaid to have reached the sum of ten
thousand dollars, and the hotels, railway com.
ranies and shopktepers reaped . rich harvest
from the great influx of strangers.
Early in September Of this year, q "Na-
tional Horse Fair" is to be held at the new
race course near this city, and the opening
programme is o very tempting one, both to
the bre. ders and admirers OF blood stock The
fault in the Springfield affair should be
remedied in future exhibitions, and arrange
ments should be made to ensure proper repre-
sentatioD Of the hard shell democracy of the
the stable-the farm and draught horses.
We have also received the programme of the
Ohio and Pennsylvania Horse Exhibition, to be
held ct Salem Ohio, October IL, IL, Is and IA.
Horses from oil States will be allowed to COM
pete for premiums. We get great many good
horses from Pennsylvania, and foe show may
be expected. Nothing can be more novel and
interesting than these exhibitions, and the fact
that they ore always successful, proves that
there is great deal of interest felt by the
public in them. Live stock in the United
States has been much improved of late, but
there is room enough for further Improvement
still.

EMIGRANT SHIPS. report Of the Com
mittee Of the British House Of Commons APP
pointed to inquire into the state Of the emil
grant vessels railing from Great Britain has
just been published and contains some sug-
gesiions addressed to us. 1t appears that not
outstanding the ou'cry that has been made
upon The subject, no statistical record is kept,
in available form, of the condition in which
emigrants arrive here. Yet this record is OBJ
viously the only true test of the working Of
the foreign regulations respecting emigrans
ships Whether the present rules are adequate
and sound can only be ascertained by tho
rough examination Of the entrants on their
arrival here, and by comparison of their con-
di.ion at that moment with the statement made
by the officer at the time of their departure
The committee earnestly recommend the OPEN
ing Of negotiations with this government on
the subject; and we trust their overtures will
be met in the same spirit We are more Ill
rectly concerned in the welfare Of our adopted
citizens than the country they are leaving;
and interest as well as humanity should lead
US TO leave no means untried to obviatc the
evils they now euffer. In many respects, such
as the regulations regarding space, and accom-
mediation for Storage passengers, the British
have much to learn of US; but, strange to soy,
in one particular in which we are usually in
advance Of the world, viz. in statistical re-
cords Of immigration, we seem to be sadly
deficient. We hope the deficiency viii be sup

LOCAL ITEMS.

WARMING TO BoYs.--During the freshet,
the other day, two boys, at New Worcester,
undertook to get large stick of timber, lying
on the railroad bridge at that place, into the
water, for the purpose of seeing it float down
stream. But, as bad luck would have it, it
got caught between the timbers of the bridge,
with one end projecting high above the track.
Just at that moment, the up passenger train
came in sight, and the frightened boys took to
their heels. The enginecr, seeing the obstruc-
ton, reversed the engine, and had the brakes
put down, and the train was brought SO near
to a stand that the only damage sustained was
the destruction of the railing to the locomo-
tive. But for his timely discovery, there is
reason to believe that consequences might
have ensued, of the most disastrous nature
The boys were arrested, and brought into
town, but Mr.. Gray, the superintendent of the
road, becoming satisfied that there was no
malicious intent on their part, declined prose-
cutting them.

gin. Next day he became intoxicated, was
taken to the Watch-house, was fined, and, in

and fined the defendant $40, and costs, on
each charge, and likewise ordered him to give
bonds in $1,000 not to violate within year
any law of the Commonwealth for the sale of
spurious liquors. Mr.. Stratton appealed, and
was ordered to recognize with sureties in the

ANOTHER SToRM.-We are, at this writing,
Thursday evening" in the midst of another
drenching northeaster, which has poured I'M
mitigated floods of water upon us for the last
two days. There is great reason to fear
that we shall have further accounts of dam
age by the additional food it must make in
the rivers. The Boston Journal says:
The streets in the city were turned into
channels for water, and the capacity of the
culverts was thoroughly tested. The "empty
basin," on the Back Bay, which receives the
drainage of part of the South end, belied its
name, for it was full of water this morning.
From the Mill Dam to the fremont road and
from the Public Garden to Roxbury, there
was one vast expanse Of water. TWAS sight

In the immediate vicinity of Boston, more
rain has fallen during the last fifteen or TWEEN
