MEETING OF THE WORCESTER AGRIcUL-
TURAL SoCIETY.-The members of this socie-
ty held a meeting at the brick Court House,
Saturday, to revise the premium list for 1860,
previously adopted. The President, Mr.. Lin
coin, said he had learned, within few days,
that the state was about to publish "Harris's
book on Insects injurious to vegetation" each
society in the state being entitled to fifteen
copies of that work to be distributed in pre-
mums. He had also received letter from
Joseph Burnett, Esq, of Southboro', pro-
testing against action on the part of the
society-which would degrade high blood
stock by reducing it to level with mixed and
accidental stock. Messrs. Henry r. Keith and
Stephen Salisbury sustained the protest OF Mr..
Burnett and also of Ex-Gov. Lincoln, who
moved a reconsideration of the vote whereby
grade animals were admitted to competition for
premiums with full blooded stock. The motion
prevailed. 1t was also voted, on the motion
OF MIR. Salisbury, to require each competitor
to fill a certificate of the purity OF the blood OF
his stock exhibited, and to admit Jersey stock
" COupete tut preullullS hAS O1hSA S'"Sh1
The eight S3premiums offered for blood stock,
it was voted on the motion of Mr.. Brooks of
Princeton, to pay in Harris books. The So
premiums, offered for classes l and of grade
bulls, and the 81 premium, offered for the I'd
best two year old heifer in class will be padin
the same way. 1t was voted to offer two pre-
miums of 50 and So for the best and second
best specimens of butter, Of not less than twen-
ty pounds each, made in June, and kept in
earthen jars, or wooden frkins; and to offer
list of premiums instead of gratuities for
household goods The amended list of pre-
miums was then adopted In behalf of Mr..
Alzirus Brown, manufacturer OF Manny's
moving machine, John Brooks, Jr., of Prince
ton, offered a machine to be awarded as a pre-
MUM, at the discretion of the Society. Messrs.
John Brooks, Sr., Walter Bigelow, and John
Brooks, Jr., were appointed to consider the
subject, and, on the motion of Mr.. Salisbury,
it was voted to offer the premium in the name
of the officers of the society, under the direc-
ton of the above committee.

The SECOND SKATING PARTY TO QUIN-
sIGAMoND.-About five hundred persons took
advantage of the excursion to Lake Quinsiga-
mond, on Saturday; and everything working
favorably, they had an unusually pleasant
trip. The ice was in excellent condition, fur
nishing the best skating Of the winter, and the
temperature was just about right. 1t was low
enough to require constant motion for comfort.
The rush from the Davis cottage station over
the hill, and the DOMINIC of five hundred skates
occupied but few seconds. Then the soli-
tude of the lake was fairly dispelled. Adven-
turous and stronglegged skaters explored the
extremities of "long pond, and, except the
floating bridge and an occasional road that had
to be crossed, they found good skating from
end to end 1t took them six minutes to skate
from the northern extremity Of helake, cross
ing the floating bridge, to Davis cottage.
These skating parties are grand institutions.
There is no lovelier sight on winter after
noon than they afford. The variety of cos
tune, and the rapid and Kaleidoscope changes
in the scene are good to the eye, and we all
know skating Is good for the physical man."
We have heard the suggestion that prizes shall
be offered to the swiftest STATESMEN and
women. 1t is good idea. Weather and ice
being tolerabe, there would be in such an
event gathering which would recall the re-
gattas of last summer, and it would call forth
speed which would rival that of the locomo-
tive or tempest. By all means let us have the
skating prizes. The excursionists, who occu
pied eleven long cars, returned at ten minutes
past five, having met with no mishap or de-
lay.

FREAKS OF NATURE.-An account is going
the rounds of the papers, similar to others that
have been repeatedly published before, of some
one, who has an apple tree, the fruit of which
is part sweet and part sour, in the same apple.
The account closes, as some that have before
been published do, by saying that this freak
was produced by budding with two halves of
buds inserted together, one half taken from a
sour apple tree and the other half from a
sweet one. That such fruit grows is very
true. The divisions into sweet snd sour are
longitudinal, running from the stem to the
blossom or calyx end We have seen such at
various times for fifty, years past, and from
many sources. The men who go about the
country, grating trees, generally carry scions
OF this kind, and thus they have become WIDE
ly disseminated. We believe that this won
derful account Of the origin of the variety has
been disseminated by them almost as widely
as the variety itself. But we do not believe
there is a particle of foundation for it. We
have seen the fruit from many sources and it
is all as much alike as if it grew upon one
tree, thus indicating its common origin. That
origin was probably long ago, as the first trees
of the kind we know Of were old trees in our
boyhood, and that was some little time since.
The origin was doubtless one of those freaks
of Nature, which are constantly occurring
and which defy explanation. The one above
given is palpably unphilosophical. We have
no evidence that any part Of tree or of two
trees when brought together, will unite except
at the inner coat of the bark, where the new
wood forms. If they will not, then, although
the two pieces of bark having the parts of
eyes thereon might grow together yet the
parts of buds would be left distinct, and each,
if it grew at all, would form separate branch
of its own kind. But, granting that the buds
themselves, would unite and grow together,
so as to produce from the two a single branch,
then one half of the branch, that produced by
the half of the sweet apple bud, with all the
minor branches proceeding from it, would
produce sweet fruit, while the other half, on
the same principle, would produce sour fruit
We have often been furnished with the above
explanation of the origin of such fruit, but
never could find the man who had tried the
experiment and succeeded in it. e.

1t is curious fact, not generally known,
that New Jersey has fugitive slave law of
her own, enacted in 1893, and re-enacted with
notifications in 1886 and 1886 The slave
holder or his agent can apply to Common
Pleas Judge, and the arrest will be made by
the sheriff, and the question Of property de-
cided by three judges. New Jersey has also a
law authorizing STAKEHOLDER to take his slaves
through the state, and to make temporary
residence with them. a- 4'

The ARTEsIAN WELL.--Several days ago
and falling water in the artesian well III the
rear of the Bay State House. 1t is the pre-
vailing opinion of gentlemen who have been
interested in the case, and we understand that
Professor Hitchcock, of Amherst College,
gives it as his opinion, that the fiuctuation is
caused by intermittent springs, acting on the
syphon principle. There is a cavity in the
earth-probably in the solid rock in this case
which, after filling with water, discharges
itself into the well. 1t then ceases to flow till
the cavity is again full, and thus repeats itself
from day TO day. The work upon the well is
still progressing, having now reached depth
of upwards of 40 feet

DEATH OF WILLIAM E. BURTON. - The
death of this eminent comedian which has
been for some time anticipated, occurred on
Friday last, at his residence in New York
Very few of the representatives of his profess
sion have left behind so agreeable and widely
extended fame. For many years, "Burton's"
has been one of the places of amusement which
visitors and strangers have found it impossible
to pass by, and his impersonations of "Amini-
dab Sleek" "Mr. Toodles," "Micawber,"
Captain Cutie, "Ebenezer Sudden" eau
tolycus," or "Falstaff," in the merry Wives
of Windsor" have heightened the lives of
play-goers all over the country. But his
merits were not limited to the stage. He was
thorough Shaksperian scholar and critic, and
had accumulated the choicest Shaksperian Ii
brary in America. He had contributed to va
rious magazines, and in the year 1858 edited
the encyclopedia of Wit and Humor," pub
lshed by the Appletons. He had accumulated
large fortune, amounting to nearly half
million, the care of which is thought to have
contributed to his decline.

A political writer patty says, Lincoln and
Hamlin represents a principle-that of Ma
tional resistance to the diffusion of slavery.
Breckenridge and Lane represent the an
tagonist principle-that of National pro-
lection to the diffusion Of slavery. Doug
las and johnson represent dodge--name-
ly; Rational indifference to the diffusion of
slavery. Bell and Everett represent sham
National blindness 10 the diffusion of
slavery. Earnest men are necessarily with
one or the other of the two first named
And earnest men happen to be greatly in
the majority about these days. Really very
few are Indifferent, while none who can
read arc really blind to the great, over
shadowing issue of our age. Political
trimmers who would ignore the gravest
facts, by resolving that they don't see, or
care nothing about them, may vote for
Douglas or Bell; but the people are over
whelmingly in favor of a settlement of the
slavery extension issue on its merits-oue
that shall be real and binding.

avisible Admixture,, in virglnla.

Our benevolent Democrats In Ohio, who
have repeatedly signalized their yea! in car
piug out not only tho Dred Scott doctrine
that tho negro has mo rights which the
white man is bound to respect" but also in
maintaining that the least mixture Of Afri-
can blood makes one negro, should send
missionaries into Virginia, where a statute
exists in strict accordance with the "yisible
admixture decision of our Supreme Court
which has so provoked Democratic denun-
citation. We invite the careful and partic.
ular attention Of these zealots to the follow
ing, from the Alexandria (Ya.) Gazette of
the 9th inst:
"At the recent session Of the County
Court two men Of mixed blood appeared
before the Court, and having proved them
selves to be octoroons, or possessing but
one-eghth Of negro blood, asked the court
to certify that they were no negroes. The
court having heard the evidence, granted
tho certificate asked for. The object of
this process is to release the parties apply
ing, from the obligations and penalties at
tachcd to free negroes by the laws of this
commonwealth. The application was found
ed upon the following section Of the Code
Of Virginia
"The court of any county or corporation
upon satisfactory proof, by q white person,
of the fact, may grant to any free person
Of mixed blood, resident therein, certii-
cato that he is not negro; which certii-
cate shall protect such person against the
penalties and disabilities to which free ne
groes are subject as SUCH"

joice to hear that such men as Messrs. Shep-

so clearly and soon seen the obvious path of
