Your Committee on fruit .vege ables' and

Good fruit is held in high estimatio
\ \, \ft,„
its all, and May justly be regarded as a !amt..'
ry for. culinary uses and the regalia of the so

appreciated;

mired as ilii encrnbranee, and new ones be
'planted in their stead: .-- ; '. .
The. process of grafting itriong 'us, and the
utility. of good fruit, -were, riot,
.twenty five
years ago, as well. unders.tood as they RCM
are. Hence, if thU pioneent of. our county
were-culpably rends, in this particular, we
have been and are !1-till much . mo . re' so. Th . !:
choice speebnena exhibited this day should
excite us all to s)steinatio fruit-growing.
The time' was when apples were - prineipal
ly used for eider-making, and - when every
fainter-would, if lie could, fill his cellar . with
"hard cider;'-and for that purpose any va
riety:would do,-as alfar greater - zest ar . as evin
civ,e for,the- intoxicating Juice than for. the
fruit. There need then be.no wonder that',
taste for excellent freit was ,gpnerally deprar

There is no department of the (anus-that bet.=
ter- pays for Caltivitionnot .even. as. well—
as it thrifty tearing orchard of Well selected
varieties. Fruit is too much refused for fee&
ing, because, as some alle g e , it will not fat ,
ten swine. Very true; but.it will givethrift
before the time of fattening :arrives,- and is
beneficialeven then, mixed with otherfoixl—
worth then more than it is fur cider and to,
per making. -- It is excellent for store swine,
during Winter by: giving thtift and saring;
grain. Ii is a great mistake, as experiment
hazy proved, that the sour varieties have not
equal nutriment -with the Sweet :-the. only
diterentsi is the sleet do pot affect the teeth
as the sour do.
Your committee might, if they had time,
say much on the utility of 'fruit raising and
fittit feedifig; hence we have only to recora-.
mend to. our brother fartuers - the importance
of Systematic hortieultnre,' than which no la
bor devoted better pays the husbandman. •
*This season is not one of 'abundant fruit; .
notwithstanding; the great variety exhibited,
Unequalled at any previous fair, adinonishes
.
us of our great neglect hitherto, and calls up
on us all to go 'and do likewise. •
The fist premium of $2 we award to Mr.
Abel Cassidy--the second of $l to Mr. L. M.
Terrell.
There were other specimens which deserve
not only notice but commendation, especially
one by lion. Wm...Jessup—another by Ur
-bane litrrows, Esq..
.There were only two specimens of grapes
offered ; one by E. 13. Lyon--premium $2--
the other by J. Etheridge, premium $l.
Your Judges propose a 'discretionary. pre-mium to M.K. Tingley of $l. for the beg: lot
of quinces;. and to J. Tewksltury of 'sl for
best lot of pears.
The garden vegetables were a noble and
rich display,:and give great credit to the soil
of our county, when properly tilled. So,
Much and so great a variety - has never hith
erto, at our fairs, been exhibited.
:The first premium of $2 Is awarded' to
Hugh Mitchel, and the second of $1 to. Ed=

THE REPORT ON PLOWING.
• .The increasing interest manifested' in this .
l3rnneli of agriculture is Very. gratifying
and it hoped will be. continued. The
day was fine—the swyrd to be broken stiff
and the ground it heavy loam., In some parts
stony, but affording a reasonable fair field for
competition... At. our first ,plowing match
five years sinee, only three teams were enter-'
ed. This year the had ten, and a most spirit -
ed match in which the work was creditable
as Well to the PlOws, as to. the --learns, and
Plow=men. Taken 'together it is believed the
Plowing was much superjor to any 'before,
petfortned in the-coanty,and might Well chal
lenge competition with that,- at - any of the
plowing matches in the country.

A eelebrate'd artist, in one of his rainblea„
met with the must beautiful child he had ever
seen. I, will paint the portrait of - this child,
he said, "'and - keep it4lir my own :-for I may
neve! look upon its like again ! ". Ile painted
it, and whin trouble 'came, and evil passions
moved his spirit to rebel, he gazed upon, :the
likeniss of the boy; end passion fled, and ho
sier thouOtte entranced his soul. Years pu
led away, and at length within a prison's walla
stretched upon thtfloor of stone, he sees a
man, stained with blood, with glaring eyisk
and haggard face, and with demoniac !sip
cutting , himself and his fellow:beings as
blaspheming
blaspheming God, as be' lay waiting fir the
hour of his execution. The artist tzansferree
his likeniss also to canvas, and placed it:op
positeposite to the child's. flow striking, - Ito*,
