First of all We de a very important character
in fixing up the and took good care to give
Wrappers to thediddle diddles; we did intend
to get 500 for oustantinoplc cat, butthey would
not stand that n, we could fix it; SO we went
to work the best ould without her; first we told
our cousin Marya Ball Bottom Ruebot'om' 10

up, some prune,, lie cider, and few dried aI'-
pies which our g great and very great grand
mothers used to dwell as any body; but "e got
a V piece for allie little notions and you know
they cost nothingwe could lose nothing BY the
operation; we alwakes care Of No. one. Well,
we told uncle suria to get up his Hong kongs'
Bremens and hisgspeckled Bantams, so ua'u-
able to agricultural above all the Fan 1a,ss-

our Usage Orange ID that we produced by bud
ding, grating and lsing with various other varie'
ties for the purposefe fencing; for we think IN th'
course Of hundreears we shall need something
of the kind but matter, we got s2O for them
Our Tom brought at full of Walnuts, but the!
would not give him ed cent, told him they gr0''e'
,Oild; but we got $a piece for our apple switches

for which we got that was decidedly asrieui'u

Now, friend Sirins, we had delightful t'm'

What had their Stock ,ot to do with AgricuItu
We just made one polic bow to each class, CIV

To the Officers we aye all praise the Pre'ia

cult tasks with great energy and industry.
George Hall over the horses had very ard'
task; Mr.. Dikes was over the Cattle.
Now, MIR. Editor, one word to our able and
cellent President, Qong may he live,) but if he

gentlemen, he may at once order his suit Of moi
