and when they beginto fst, begin way down by the root of the Ai and it ai along the ribs even up to the headk I know it aint tho most slightly thing that eser was to see crcter with it's horns twisted

Hiichcock's. of New Prcston-them too bulls,s sssnd all them COWS suited us any how. They ain't quite so fine, but they weigh down; and it's fattening cattle, neigh bors, that you've got to make your living by, and you'd better remember. Mir Hitchcock's bulls stand over in New Preston, and have taken more premi- urns than any stock inlNew England. z Now, as for sheep, we ain't much of | judge any how but we shouldsay them square -butted. black nosed, pretty fne-wooled cfeters they call South Downs, are about the things, The oxfordshires and cottswolds, the butchers say, make mighty heavy mutton; and the whole ef it is that Mir. Andrew, and Mir Hitchcock, and Messrs. Hart ard Hurlbutt, and a few other ahout the County, have done more good and are deserving of more credit than alinn dred of. our old farmers who have grubbed, and scrimped and bartered, and accumulated, and died, with out nobodyss caring nothing for .tfcm except to get theiI CSaSu. aiiy uouy NuHtS " oSc sno finest broken, fnest looking, finest mated Devon cattle in New England, let 'em go and sec Mir. An. drew. of Cornwall i; let 'cm look at his yokes and farm fxens in general let 'en see his sheep, and calves and colts, and they get paid for it, and learn of the right kind of lessons of thrift to the bargain. And with Mr. Hart and Hitch cock. Itcll you, neighbors, such men are a bles- sing to community. 74g sa Then again, there was the posies, and bowpots
 and flower fxens folks sent, and the cheeses, and big heets, and garden in general It all looked l we'll, and went to show how people are waking up | Them flowers suited our eyes-the gals and the women kind that tied them up is deserving of a deal of credit and the look of them poses touches the heart, tells folks that they think of Gods u- ings on arth, otherwise than in making lnilch COWS and stud horses. tell you neighbors, every flower pot you have in your houses, is jist many step stones towards Heaven for your young ones. It's eultivating the finer faculties its cultivating sentiment, and what some folks call the idcal-it.s growing violets among cheese. presses, and roses among milk-pans- s,a softening down of acute angles and scratching the old churs back with something beside milken stool Grow 'em, gals; tye cm up and send 'em to the cattle shows
 Stick 'cm in your wndows-call them to the atten- ton of your sparks and teach your little brothers and sisters that God Almighty made 'en, and grows 'cm every where to minister and lead men up to Him away hom the grovelling things of the arth.- We don't like to call names but when we look at such flower fxens as Mir Buckley's wife tied up, and some other folks, we can't help but think of Heaven and little babies that Christ loves and looks arterof little graves where white lillies grow, and blue yiolets shine and which are, watercd by many fond wolnans tears that steals out there to weep, when no eye but that of God Almighty perceives her. Coon, gals; grow 'em in your gardins and send en to the cattle shows They'll wake up sen. timent where you didn't think it grew No matter \ if some old farm chap like me, that smells of the stablc and looks like q bcg-hopper, comes in and sticks his proboscis in among your rses-no mat

 they looked fine But we have our notion about
 things, and don't like any thing there's more show
 than substance to. If tl,cm gals will make better
 wives for having on them long petticoats and pran- cng up and down the street better mothers-bet

 to show how they thcyca make their horses prapre and kick np n dust and hsm tpcy don't carefor the fjokcs A coarse men and bad boys we don't approve of it.; and on the whole, ifthcy such fine horse women we'd rathers see them single, save with some civil young chnp by their side, riding along the edge of the wood about sundown, when the finger of God is painting the sunset, and His angels whisper
 ing through the breath of the pine-trec. But we are getting sentimental, and it won't do. All we can say about it. is, that we had fust rate show, and fust rate weather, and fust rate things in gen
