CnrrIe Show.

To-day is the great annual jubilee of the Wor-
sester County Agricultural Society, and we may
expect to see our city filed with the hardy yeo-
many of the interior, with their wives and chill
dren, thronging our thoroughfares and partici-
pating in the pleasures and enjoyments of the &C.
casion The earth has afforded them a most
bountiful increase,as reward for their summers
toll, and, however men engaged in other pursuits
may have suffered from the "hard times" the
farmers, as class, have been but little incom-
moded by causes which have depressed trade and
manufactures for the past year; and if any por-

titled to little extra enjoyment, it is them.
Most of them will have little cash to spend,
and some will have large OUTLAWS to make. The
good man will want new coat for Sundays wear,
and the little faxen-haired boys, who have drop
ped the corn and potatoes, and helped to stow
the hay in the barn-who have driven Brindle and
Short-horn while their fathers have held the pillow
who have carried the corn to mill, and turned
the grind-stone under the apple tree for the hay
makers, will want some stout boots for the COM

in the bitter cold days that coming soon,
when they will trudge away upon the froz-
en- ground to the district school, to learn how
many barley corns will reach around the globe,
how many square rods make square acre, and
how many square acres make square mile
They have looked forward to Cattle Show these
many weeks and the anticipation of coming to
Worcester, where there are such perfect hay
stacks of new clothes, "large enough for any
man and small enough for any boy" have light
ened many day of toll. No kind father or low
ing mother will let the little fellows go home
sorowing. It is meet that they should have
good time while here, and make good appear
ancc in the village church next Sabbath, so let
the old folks and the young folks yum their eyes
over the advertisements in the Spy, and find out
just the right places to call at, where they are
sure to get their moneys worth; and go in for
some new clothes and all the other new things,
for Father and the boys"
And the women, too, Heaven bless them who
have been toiling in the diaries of old Worcester

into the most "slap up" kind of butter, worth
