admiration, was q fine Black Hawk horse,
owned by Mr.. E. I. Balcom, of Worcester,
which he has recently purchased at the round
sum of fifteen hundred dollars. The dam OF
| this horse was the celebrated racer Abdallah
and he was sired by the far famed Old Black
Hawk of Vermont. The speed and action of
this animal showed the purity of the blood,
and did credit to his progenitors. Mr.. B. is
| entitled to great credit for the iberality and
| public spirit which he has manifested in bring
ing this fine stud into the county, and we
are glad to see that the committee awarded
him the first premium for animals of this de-
scription.
| THE DINNER.
| The Society was fortunate in obtaining the
| services of Mr.. ]. B. Smith, of Boston, as
caterer for the occasion. The repast served
| by him was fully up to the mark, and was in
striking contrast with the dinners which have
at times been served in this city by another
distinguished caterer from the same city, who
has fourished on similar occasions when the
multitude have gone away hungry.
Upon assembling at the festive board board,
Hon. Isaac Davis, President of the Society,"
congratulated the members upon the favorable
circumstances under which they had assem-
bled, and invited Rev. Horace James to in
woke the Divine blessing upon the feast, 10
which invitation Mr.. James responded in an
appropriate grace When the hunger of the
multitude had been appeased, Gov. Wash
burn was introduced and delivered very
excellent address, after which sentiment
from the President called up Hon. Levi
Lincoln, of Worcester, who responded in
very felicitous manner. Gov Lincoln con-
cluded. his remarks with the following senti-
ment:
Farmers and Farming. Farmers should
learn that it will no longer do to put the hand
to the plough, but that the farmer should
bring the powers of intellect and mind to d.
rect the course and business of husbandry, to
make farming prolific or even living interest.
David Lee.s Esq, OF Barre, responded to
toast complimentary to the Agricultural Soci-
ETY. of that town, and concluded with the fol-
lowing sentiment
agriculture. May the love of it be our rul-
ing passion, and its enjoyment our best treas
ure.
