and spoke of the ennobling character of agri-
cultural pursuits.
Hon. VIM. Mxter Of Hardwick, late presi-
dent Of the society, made a patriotic allusion
to the present condition Of the country, andits
effect on the agricultural interests of the con-
venton. The very fact of the utmost ener-
gies Of the country being eXerted to put down
this most unrighteous and uncalled-for rebel
lion had served to develope our vast product
i've resources to such an extent, that as far as
our industrial interests are concerned, it could
hardly be realized that we are IN the midst of
such IL conflict, or that we have any war upon
our hands. The effort eXerted to put down
the rebellion, had tended to show the might
sumbpring in a freeman's arm, and the dor
mant power of a freemans will. Our vast ma
tional debt even now is but the aggregate of
our industrial earnings since the war COM
menced, so that, should it cease tomorrow, it
would find our resources unimpaired. When
taxation comes, we have the consolation to
fluid its amount returning again to the pockets
OF the citizens. Is not, he well asked in con.
clusion, such a nation worth saving!
Hon. Oliver Warner, secretary of the COM
monwealth, was introduced to speak for the
commonwealth in the absence of his eXcellen-
cy the governor, who was prevented from at
tending by the press of duties in looking after
the interests of Massachusetts soldiers. Mr.
Warner made an eloquent speech, charging
upon the great secret of national prosperity,
the development OF the industrial and produce
tive interests of the country in all its various
! departments, agricultural and mechanical. 1t
was this which had made our country such a
mighty power in Europe, making us the
greatest nation up IN tine face of the earth. 1t
was sure preventive of European intermed-
ding with our affairs or difficulties. The
latest foreign news was alluded to in confirm
alton of this.
One interesting affair of the day was the pre-
sentatiOn OftwO cheeseS, one by Mr.. w arner to
the orator Of the day, and the other by Mr..
Stone to Mr.. Warner, both of them in behalf
Of the ladies of Barre. The presentation
to the orator of the day was part of the pro-
gramme, inaugurated by last years example.
The accomplished secretary performed his
part in so finished and taking manner, COM
pletely bringing down the house, that an i'm
promptu counter presentation was imme-
diately arranged. The exceedingly graceful
manner with which the affair was per-
formed by Mr.. Stone, was well attested by
the rounds of laughter and continued roars OF
merriment, which fairly shook the whole
building. The ladies themselves appeared
most wonderfully pleased and grathed that
their two best cheeses had fallen into such
good hands. Previously to the presentation,
the cheeses were delivered over by the presi-
dent of the day, Col. Smith, in neat and ap-
propriate remarks in behalf of the donors, TO
the presenters. We hope it will not be more
than one year before we shall again have the
pleasure of attendance at so pleasant an en-
tertainment. The responses OF both gentle
men to the gifts presented, in accepting them,
we're models of their kind and inimtabe
Genery Twichell, Esq, president of the
Boston and Worcester railroad, former res
ident of Barre, was called upon, and express
ed himself most felicitousy and happily in ref
erence to what had TRANSFERRED. He alluded to
| the presence at the table, among other guests,
OF Mrs. General Wild, and he knew of nothing
which would have secured her attendance at
the exhibition but the influence OF Mr.. Stone.
