The premium carriage and buggy har-
ness, exhibited by S. S. Cottrell 4 Co.,
Were made by Mr.. George L. Granger, ot
this city, and demonstrated the fact that
Richmond mechanics in skill, taste, and
fidelity of workmanship, have no superiors
North or South. We have never seen
more beautiful and stylish harness any
where.
Mr.. A. Gift, of Stafford county, neigh.
Dor of Judge Moncure, exhibited a hal
bushel of splendid Early Rose potatoes

crops Of this vegetable can be raised in 9
single season in Virginia. He did not tax,
premium because none is given for {
quantity less than bushel.

4th, I776, and deed made in the carl,
part Of the same century, attracted mucl
