Exhibition Of the Worcester West AgrI-
cultural Society.
The twenty-second annual exhibition of the Wor-
cester county west agricultural society, opened
upon the grounds of the society, in Barre Thurs
day morning The weather was rather unfavOrable
for an agricultural exhibition, heavy rain storm
prevailing early in the morning which undoubtedly
kept many exhibitors, as well as visitors, away
from the grounds All roads leading to the town
were very muddy, and made the wheeling bad, as
well as preventing the transportation of stock The
people of the town have, however, been looking
forward to the exhibition with the usual amount of
interest, and the result was that there was very
large display considering tho state of the weather
Among the exhibitors of stock, j. I. Ellsworth Of
Barre was prominent with herd of grade Dur
hams; A. II. Holland, also of Barre, exhibited
number of fine looking animals of different breeds;
DIR. George Brown was also prominent exhibitors
Luther Crawford of New Braintree exhibited
FIVE good dairy COWS, grade Durhams being
the breed; A. H.. Holland of Barre also ex-
hibited i've dairy cows j. I Stevens of Barre con-
tributed thoroughbred Durham stock, and j. w.
Hagan large thoroughbred Durham bull. John
Sanderson of Benardstou sent two pairs fat cattle
of the Durham breed, Franklin Babbitt of Barre
one pair of tat cattle, and d. Il. Woods of North
Brookfeld large tat OK.
The display of dairy COWS was unusually large,
and the contributions included many fine breeds,
among which the animals exhibited by N. e Hol.
land and IL. H. Conant Of Barre, Moses Pollard Of
New Braintree, and j. r. Utley of the same town.
were prominent Among the steers exhibited were
those of William Adams of New Braintree, j. W.
Hagar, %. q. Carruth and John Miller of Phillips

arbitration.
Chambers of commerce in several large cities
of England have adopted resolves congratulate

termination of the Alabama arbitration, and

night, expressed the opinion that it would have
been better had Chief Justice Cockbum signed
the Geneva decision, with the other arbitrator,
instead OF reviewing the arguments after the
dispute had been settled. Ii was also unneces

RULE OR RUIN.

AS We surmised and predicted the
Democratic Convention lately held in
New Orleans, have nominated 2 full
straight out Democratic State ticket
headed by Col. Jno. d. McEnery Of
Ouachita for Governor. This state
nomination is one of the preludes of
the great National one to be held in
Baltimore on the 9th of next month
which win result in a similar blind
and suicidal policy for in this matter
reversing the proverb, 1T will be, " as
the young cock crows SO crows the
old. Our neighbor tie Louisiana
Democrat has an article copied from
the Chicago Times with the caption
Of 5. Greely's Failure in which it is
endeavored to be proved, that he can
not unite the opposition to Grant, and
this article is type of n number of
Others in the ultra and uncompromis
ing Democratic papers throughout the
Union.
1t would seem taking into conside-
ration the flag which yet flies at the
mast head of the Gazette, that it was
q matter of very little concern to us,
what course the Democratic party
takes, or rather that we would rejoice
at the fair prospect which presents it
self OF their again imolating them
selves, their hopes and aspirations, on
the altar of principle as they call it,
or as it is designated by outsiders, OF
presumption, but the wagon is not out
of the woods yet, and We do not know
exactly when it will carry us.
We are taking now a mere phylo-
sophical and appropriated view of the
situating putting ourselves for ht
present and for arguments sake in the
position oft wife and the husband
in the bear fight. The action OF the
Convention in New Orleans which we
have been discussing was decided by
a mere meagre majority, and SD most
likely it will be with the Baltimore
assembly; and if SO, it is on tile cards
that the minority which is so respecta-
BILE a one, may revolt and traternise
with another respectable minority and
so make another majority and a win
ming one at that.
