CENrRAL AanIouLruRAL sooIErr-Y

CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-
have been requested by number of the leading
agriculturalists in Henrico county, TO call meet
ing of their feilow-citizens,at their Courthouse
on Monday next. at IL to take such actor
as NAV be necessary ID Fe contributions and
memberships to the Cehtfdi Agricultural Society,
now being formed. The people Of Henrico are
deeply interested in the success of this organiza-
ton, and judging from all that we have heard from
various parts of the county,a long list of member
ships and contributions may be expected of them.
As Monday will be court day, it ia hoped that
every section of the county will be represented in
the meeting. and that the warm interest row felt
in the Central Society may continue to increase
until every voter in the county has become a mem
Der. If the ladies in the county are as much in
terested in the success of the new association as
are those of Richmond-aDd every enterprise must
have their approving smiles to ensure its prospe
rity-Iienrico will noby respond to the call made
upon her at this time. Deeply interested as are
her people in having grand Fair this tall at their
very DOORS they cannot ial 10 sustain the Central
Society with all their zeal and strength. When
she has spoken, other counties in the State will
move into line with one accord, and in the course
of a few months we shall have not only credita-
BILE Society, but that will do noble service in
the cause Of agriculture throughout Virginia.
After action has been taken in relation to the
Agricultural Society, the meeting will be called
upon TO appoint Delegates to the Southern CONNER
cal Convention to be held in Montgomery, Ala,
on the 10th of May. Other counties and cities
have already acted on this matter, and Henrico
must follow suit or suffer by not doing so. The
subject of ''direet trade" with Europe will be
brought before the Convention, aud il line of
mers is to be started. and Norfolk is 10 be their
landing place. Henrico will be as largely interest
ed in the enterprise as ary other county in the
State. For that reason she should be ably repre-
sented In the Convention.

Granger, slave to Mr.. Albert Aiken, who Runaway
from his master nine years ago, and has been
spending his time since then in the neighhorbood
of Richmond. When captured, this fellow had free
papers, said to have been obtained upon the oath
of Mr. Albert ii. Golf, who had known him
prisoner in the county jail where he was commit
ted for want of papers. Mr.. Glf denies testifying
to the freedom Of Isaac, but when questioned by
the court, said be knew when he was sold for jail
fees. Yesterday morning several members of Mr.

nized him, but he pretended not to know any of
them. At the next term of the Hastings Court
Mr.. Aiken will prove his property, and then have
the register awarded him rescinded.

WHERE THE CANARY BIRDS COME rRoM--There is
an association in Philadelphia. composed of about
thirty Germans, who aim at improving the breed
of Canary birds, and last mouth they published
their thirteenth annual report. From that it ap-
pears that the bird sales of Philadelphia are con-
fined to Germans, and amount to $40 go annually
and three-quarters Of that is derived from the
sale of Canaries. The common, or original Canary,
is of the least value. and sells at about 81 tine i'm
proved kinds bring from s. to $40 piece, and are
from Central Europe. The great majority ofthess
birds were obtained from Belgium. where they
bred in houses by the peasants. who raise them as
pastime. They are what are called .'lOng' and
'short" breeds. Birds Of the long breed PRO.
cured from Brussels, Antwerp. and Dietz. where
they sometimes obtain extravagant prices. Their
cost depends upon the color and shape, the pure
yellow being the most esteemed They are only
used for the purpose of breeding, and oftentimes
sell for $50 pair. The short breed is raised by
the people of the Hartz Mountain. Next to the
Belgian, the French bird is most priced. 4,f s.tf
