 containing a list of premiums offered by the New Haven 

 County Agricultural Society, to bo awarded at their 

 Annual Fair, to be held on Wednesday the aOtli inst.

 of varieties of plums. Also, a box of fine iiiitive grapes

If («aysthe Albany Cultivator) a man would: under- 

 stand the value of agriculture— in, e would learn to prize 

 the art of ail arts, the one that confers wealth and bread 

 on the world-if he would .see the true nobility of the 

 country, the real sovereigns of the United States— if he 

 would learn to look upon labor in its Irue light, lionora- 

 ble and useful to all— if |,e would have his heart glad- 

 dened at the successful results and rewards of honest 

 industry, let him go among active, inielligent, practical 

 farmers-men who in their practice enforce the same 

 salutary lessons they embrace in their theory or incul- 

 cate with their pen.
