complished by her Jersey dairies which have
excited so much comment and surprise dur.
iug the last few years, have called attention
to the fact not before so generally known,
that the farmers Of this town are not only
industrious, prosperous people, but are taking
the lead in farm improvements, social en-
joyments aud mental culture.
II is very unusual aud remarkable for
the farmers and people of town to be so
united and harmonious in social gatherings,
which are free to all, where rational enjoy.
rneuts usurp the place of and crowd out
low class of itinerant shows. To this fact
must be attributed the well known taste Of
the people for what may be termed intellect

ing with promise Of an exceptionally good
time. Oui expectations were more than re-
allied in every respect. The good people
met US at the station. six miles away, aud
made their houses our homes, and gave every
attention to our comfort that heart could
wish. Delightful as this was to US, the in-
terest in and appreciation Of the work of the
board, the enthusiasm for improvement aud
the evidences on every hand that improve
ment goes beyond mere theory, were still
more gratifying
One of the plsasantest features Of the oc.
cason was an impromptu collation. at the
hall on Friday noon, when instead Of dis
persing to the farm houses for dinner, the
ladies brought in their lunch baskets and
loaded down the tables with bountifu re-
past such as farmers wives AMI daughters
know so well how to prepare, of which all
we're invited to help themselves. They were
probably satisfied with the silent apprecia-
tiOn manifested, and perhaps ustonished at
the display of manual deIterities with knife
aud fork.

which followed the reading OF the several

accounts Of the experience Of farmers and
