LARGE PREMIUMS orfEREp ron LAnon-SAv-
iNe MAcHiSrs.-Thc State Agricultural Soci-
Of Massachusetts offers the following liberal
premiums
Sit hundred dollars to tho possessor of the
moving machine which shall cut during the
present season, with the greatest economy and
to the best advantage. not less than fifty acres
Of grass within the Stats-the machine to be
worked by horse or OK power,
As further incentive to the skill and inge-
nuity Of the manufacturers Of moving machines,
the trustees offer another premium of one thou
sand dollars TO the maker and exhibitor Of the
best moving machine-te be awarded in tho
year 1856.
Under such stimulating influences it cannot
be long before we shall have as good machines
as the ingenuity Of man can invent. The plan
proposed by this society we conceive to be the
right one. A trial of%cutting less than so acres
cannot always he conclusive. A machine go'
up exclusively for a trial of an hour or two
may cut well but fail entirely before the end oil
a week.

A LEGEND OF VI

Mr.. Enron II noticed 10 your last an sex
citing adventure with 4 bear" It reminds me
of one Of the legends of Vermont. This state
was, in its early settlement, infested with a
formidable number Of Bruins race and the
"Green Mountain Boys had to contend not
only with the New-York and New Hampshire
claimants Of their lands, but also Within In
dians that roamed the forests and this mischiev-
Gus quadruped that prayed upon their comfelds,
deyoured their lambs, and frightened their chill
dren. Many devices were carried out for the
determination OF the race. Some were caught
in traps. some were worried to death by dogs,
some were dug out of their hybernating re
treats and not unfrequently a grand hunt by
several men and dogs would be provoked by
the depredations which the beast had presump-
luously made upon some field OF farm yard
When the dogs were once upon the track and
men in hot pursuit kept them in courage, Bruin
would very soon be oyertaken and take refuge
in the top Of a tree. And then the keen
marksman would not be long in bringing him
to the ground.
In one of these hunts, land will tell the
story as it was told to me, and | had il from a
man who represented his father as one Of the
actors, VINO was iam'liariy called Uncle
Bill, ~ the bear after a hot chase was over
taken, and as usual sought safety in a tree
The tree was very tall, and for a great height
without iimbs, and crowned wi'h a Top whose
many branches and thick loiiage prevented Tue
hunters from getting a iair sisht AZ MN 10

hard beast to Kill, and you must hit MN IN me
head or the heart, or you waste your ammuni-
ton in vain
All efforts failed. a council OF war was
held, five men in all, Uncle Bill, and a stout
built, wheezing, pulling fellow who might, Tor
want OF a better, represent "Johp falslaif' IN
the scene that iollowed,-and three others, one
of whom wonld not have looked his mother in

MAMMOTH STRAWBERRIES The cabbages
Of California are famous for their size they
have had their day in items. The Sacramento
Union is now giving California strawberries a
turn. 1t chronicles a basket of big ones that
was held before The editor on Wednesday. 1t
says
"The larges, specimen Of The many present
ed is Of the shape Of fig leaf, and measures
exactly six and a half inches in circumference
latludinally, and five and a half inches long
iludinally. This is by far the most enormous
strawberry We have ever seen or even heard Of,
and VIC challenge the world to produce its equal.
Only think Of single strawberry measuring over
half a foot in circumference! Other specimens
in the basket, OF pine apple shape, measure from
three TO FIVE inches in circumference, and ten
of the largest weigh 'one quarter Of a pound
These huge samples of our mos, luscious fmi,
were raised in tho famous garden Of A. p. Smith,
on the American river, three miles above Sac
ramento.

scond. But as a bear always doscends a tree
tail foremost, Jacob was not alarmed by this
caudal approach Of his adversary Of this mode
of meeting, offered Jacob one side Of the tree
and taking the other himelf hoped to descend
in peace, and trust to his legs on reaching the
ground. But Jacobs jacknile had too often
done him service to be forgotten in this oppor-
tune moment. 1t was already open and ready
for action. AS the bear descended opposite,
Jacob gave him such a slit in the belly, that he
lost his presence Of mind, slipped his whole
length upon the blade and fell to the ground.
Not exactly up on the ground, either; for our
Falslaif was so anSiously gazing at the scene,
that ere he was aware, the bear in his fall
knocked him over upon his back, aud in a con-
yulsiye struggle rolled of from him leaving him
in the awful plight Of 4 disembowelled man.
Never did FaIsiaff groan more bitterly in any
scene that Shakespeare has presented, Than our
hero Of the woods. His iniestincs were gath
cred with as much care as possible upon his
stomach and carefully put in the arms OF the
dying man a litter was speedily formed, and
the grooming sufferer carried carefully TO the
nearest log cabin, and a doctor sen, for with all
Imaginable speed. None were allowed to make
any examination until the doctor arrived, for
fear Of displaeing the parts. The patient, after
a long season Of agony, heard the joyful an
n%ouncement, ''the doctor is coming" The
doctor sprang from his saddle, tore, oifhis coat,
rolled up his sleeves, ordered some warm milk
and water, and and in a professional way com
menced The careful lining Of the extending in.
i~estines to fnd The rent through which they had
made their nncomoly appearance upon the vision
Of weeping friends and the despairine sufferer.
How a man in a gore Of blood and his bowels
all upon the outside could live so long and ut
ter such terrific groans was the wonder Of the
surgeon, bn, on a more thorough examination
he found TO The infinite mirth Of the whole com
pany, ,ha, the patients old fashioned long jack

he was handsomely dressed inside.

Oh, Dickie Lee oh Dickie Lee,
OF the sunny days gone by;
The bonny lad | called my lover,
The bOnny lad that loved no other,
No other lass but me
Oh, we were in love when our years were few,
Aud our hearts were as fresh as the morning dew
Six years was | and seven was he;
And since those days long years have past
Long years Of blossom and Of blast;
But in them all there never grew
A love more sweet, n love more true,
Than that Of Dickie Lee.
I often think of Dickie Lee,
Aud the summers long ago
Of the old school-house and the little brook,
With its messy banks in the shady nook,
Where we would fish, till the bell did ring,
With our homemade line Of a bonnet string,
And a crooked pin that served for a hook,
And learned more joy than in the spelling-book
But If we were late and the teacher cross,
The blow and rebuke | "counted but dross,"
And during it all, | only could see
The sparkling eyes of my Dickie Lee!
1 wonder now if Dickie Lee,
Looks back across the years,
Smiling, perhaps at the thought of me,
And the funny times we used to see,
In that sehool-house dim Of yore |
On the little bench close by the door,
The little bench that would hold but four
Jane, Lois, Dickie and me
And the lambs Of the flock were we.
wonder now If he ever THINKS
of the dreadful time he stole the pinks
And roses rare to give to me
And what beiell poor Dickie Lee!
They tell me that my Dickie Lee
Is q man of wealth and pride;
That he has ships upon the sea,
Titles too, of a high degree,
And that n lady became his bride.
Very well, SO let ii be,
Tickle have | been as he.
'Tis many a year since he was my lover,
Loving me well, and loving no other;
I'll many a year since the barefooted lad
Romped close by my side, making merry and GLAD
II is many a year, tits many q year,
That seals up the past and brings down n tear
But | think Of him yet as a laughing boy,
Knowing or dreaming nought but joy,
Unless he dreamt Of me-,
And | would not see the man Of care,
That calls himself Richard Lee;
That has wasted checks and thin gray hair,
For, oh he would steal from me,
Something | love and cherish we'll,
An image shrined in a sec ret cell,
And ii is dear to me;
Though the face is ~freckled, and plain and lean,
Yet memory calls it bright and serene,
And keepeth the spot of its dwelling green,
For the sake of Dickie Lee,
The little boy that long ago
Was really in love with me

These meadows green and pleasant;
Fresh flowers are springing where | stray,
Sweet voices call along the way,
And sounds Of cchoing laughter,
The glorious flowers a measure dance
with sunlight yet more golden;
And blithe feet more lightly glance,
Than butterflies their chasing.
The bright winged birds are singing gay,
The brooks with lilies are at play,
Oh let me in these meadows stay,
These meadows green andplcasant

Beside the surging ocean;

For labor or for pleasure;

Behind me comes an eager band,
Oh let me on this hilltop stand,

For long has been my travel.
The sun Is low; the shadows deep;
The way begins to darken;
Strange fancics Ger my spirit creep;
Strange phantoms seem to beacon.
Cold damps from yon damp rivers breast,
Cont with the winds from out the west;-
