THANKSGIVING. 



His E.vcellency Governor Lincoln, has appoint 

 'ul Thursday, the 27th day of November next a ' of the dis 

 day of public Thanksgiving and Praise. 



The same day is a|ipointed a day of Thanks- 

 giving, by Governor Tomlinson, in Connecticut. 



The Worcester county Agricultural Society has 

 eight hundred members, and a permanent fund 

 of $5000. 



In our attempts to improve on natme, we fre- 

 ipiently defeat our own purposes. Farmers are 

 extremely anxious to get rid of moles, whose hil- 

 locks, it must be confessed, destroy the smooth 

 level of grass and corn fields, when they are very 

 abundant ; but it has been found, (in some farms) 

 by experience, that when moles are extirpated, 

 worms increase so prodigiou.sly that the moles 



have been wished for again, as the least evil of h"^fj"^l(y^'{^{;^^j|'jYj"j;

REMEDY FOR THE GAPES IN CHICKENS. 



Take as much kitchen soap as will cover the 

 thumb nail, and having mixed it up with some 

 meal dough, give it to your chickens, at any stage 

 isease. This has been found effectual op 

 the fir.st ai)plication, almo.st always ; a second is 

 rarely necessary, and when it is so, it is next to 

 impos.sible that it should fail.

ITALIAN SPICE SEED. 



i\f R P.ussELL — I send you per the bearer a 

 -^uiall quantity of the Italian sjuce seed. It was 

 first introduced into this town about seve 

 since, irotn Italy, via New York. The seed par- 

 takes of the qualities of the Thyme, Sweet Mar- 

 .jorain, Summer Savory, and Lemon ; and ans- 

 wers all the purposes of those herbs combined for 

 the stuffing of meats. The plant is about the 

 -ize of the pepper plant, and requires about the 

 .-^ame culture. The blossom imitates very nr.ich 

 the Bachelor's Button, and the pod which con- 

 tains the seed, that of the Columbine. 



The seed is submitted for your consideration. 

 I csonfess I never have seen any before. I think 

 it may prove an acquisition to the valuable as- 

 sortment of seeds vended at your Establishment.
