burns the one inextinguishable divine

NEW AGRICULTURAL PRIZES.

1t has been pausibly suggested that the pro-
gramme Of prizes in money, so much in iavsr with
Agricultural Societies, does not inspire competitors
with that honorable emulation that should distinguish
so noble rivalry. Approaching this truth, and dis
corning the advancement in popular taste and cutiva
ton which a distribution of articles Of use and ele-
gance combined can effect, the Mississippi Agricul
tural Society ordered Of Tiffany & Co, some weeks
SINCE complete list of prizes for the State Fair,
which takes place in November. In this provision, the
Mississippians have wortbily followed the custom of
the Stewards Of the English Fairs and the successful
competitor need not regret the absence Of filthy ucre,
since Tiffany s Co. make all their slyerware of the
standard of sterling coin.
The premium let Of the Mississippi Bureau includes
1853 awards. Three large pitchers embsmatcaly
chased are the prizes of the first Glass; The fourteen
secondclass awards include five goblets, four sugar
baskets and five large creamers or the third class
there are sight smaller goblcs five large chased cups,
and five email creamers. The fourth class includes
four pairs of elegant salt cellars The hth, which
numbers 90 prizes distributed 10 soup ladies' 20 sets
OF teaspoons and kindred articles for the table; and
20 with the sixth class which allots III cake servers
sugar sfters and topgs, preserve spoons, pickle
kpives, &c, to the Mississippi home. Sxty-three
elegant silver medals are the last award. 40 add.

contributed by John Robinson, e'q is, OF course to
