montgomery Co. Agricultural Soc.


The more we see and hear Of the i'm
provement our county has undergone
since the origin of this Society, to whose
operations we are mainly indebted for
such improvement, the more lively our
interest becomes that its support should
be Of a character to ensure its perma-
nence among US. To effect this, nothing
more is necessary than simple return
to the treasury of the Society of small
portion of the profit that has accrued to
every person in the county anywise con-
nected with its industrial pursuits, from
the capital furnished by the Society it
self. OF course, we do not speak of pc
cuniary capital alone or primarily; for
that would be insignificant when meas
ured with the scientific, social and ex-
detrimental resources that have been open
ed up and employed through the instru-
mentality of this Society for the benefit
of every class of our people. There are
few if any among us who will not readi-
ly acknowledge their obligation to this
Society for advantages it has conferred
upon them; let every one, then, who
feels that it is to his interest and that of
his neighbor to foster such an institution,
promptly come forward and take an act
i've stand in its support, not merely in
word but in deed; not only by well wish
ing, but by literally contributing in
every available form to its future sue
cess. This done, the Society will be
grounded upon permanent basis, its
future Exhibitions will exceed in attrac-
tiveness those heretofore held, the COM
mon wealth and prosperity of the coun-
ty will be rapidly promoted, and its citi-
zens will enjoy the proud satisfaction of
knowing that it will be the banner agri-
cultural county of the country, as it is
now conceded to be of the State.

addresses in behalfof the good cause may
be expected from the President of the
Society, II. j. BowrE, Esq, and others,
who have at heart the best interests Of

That the occasion will be one Of Pc

surance than is furnished by the nature
of the enterprise itself and the character

we consider the general intelligence Of
our people and their lively appreciation
of the claims of philanthropy in whatever
form presented, we cannot believe it ne
cessary to address an appeal to any por-
ton Of them with view tointerest them
in this grand and cnnobling work. We,
therefore, merely remind one and all that
Wednesday next is the day appointed for
the meeting, and we are sure it will be
ATTENDED by large and noble band Of

BErs ON THE CoMEr We ought to
have published long ago the propositions
of the Urbana Gll.) Constitution con-
corning the comet. They have beer ex-
tensively quoted and credited to a paper
which stole them from the Consultation,
and, late as it is, we'll do what we can to
set the matter right Zimmerman, after
observing TIE ''critter" carefully with
the instruments Of the Urbana Brass
Band, came to the conclusion
LIST. The comet will not strike the
earth but
I'd. If it docs strike it will never do
it the second time.
In case, however, any gentleman holds
opinions different from the above, and is
willing to back his views to limited ex-
tent, in order to arrive at the truth in
this momentous matter, we hereby make
the following
PROPOSITIONS.
1st We will wager $40, 900, more or
less, that if the comet offers to strike we
will dodge before it does it; in other
words, that it can't be brought to the
scratch
ID A like sum that if it does strike
it will be knocked higher nor kite.
3D.. Twenty-Five times the above
amounts that in case the comet strikes il
won't bulge the earth six inches by ac-
tual measurement.
4th. A like amount that after the comet
strikes its tail drops.
9th An optional sum that the earth
can knock the comet further than the
comet can knock the earth, nine times
out Of eleven.
9th. That after the comet gets through
striking the earth IL will never want TO
strike anybody else.
These propositions are intended To-
cover the case Of any gentleman on this
globe, or on the comet or elsewhere.
All wagcrs to be decided by the judges
Of the Supreme Court
Money to be deposited in the Banks Of
New Foundland.
Time Of striking aud other arrange
ments to be fixed by the parties.
Applicants for bets have right to Sc
lect any comet they choose.

The Apiarian has the entire control
over all the comb; any or all of the

vcnicnt, beautiful and saleable forms.

difficulty BY this system the Bees
Comb and Honey can be removed from
ordinary hives into the Langstroth hive

THE "PLUG UGLrEs. I'm evidence
of the degree of humanity and deccncy
possessed by the thirty Plug Uglies who
SO precipitately decamped by the 8 o'clock
train on Monday afternoon, it may be
stated that on their passage in the cars
to Baltimore, they expended the contents
Of their revolvers, originally intended
for the persons of the citizens of WASH
ington, upon the bodies of the cows and
horses that were grazing in the fields
along the road. There must have been
several hundred shot fired. When the
train arrived at the fork Of the road on
the suburbs of Baltimore the thirty
Plug Uglies got out, undoubtedly for the
purpose of avoiding the risk Of an arrest
at the depot. Tie other passengers
must have felt themselves especially for
tunate and agreeable in such company.
The testimony on which we make this
statement is unimpeachable Is not the
Railroad Company responsible for any in
jury done to property in this way?-
