 ItllDDLESKX CATTIE SHOW. 



The Middlesex Afiricultiiral Society held their 

 annual Cattle Show on WXidnesday, 4th inst. The 

 day was cold atid di;>agreealilp, which diminished 

 coni|ielition at the Ploiif;hini< Match, and at tile 

 Cattle pens; yet there was a more niimerons at- 

 tendance from all parts of the County, than on 

 any former oi'casion. The procession of inemhers 

 anil others, moved from Shepherd's Hotel at 11 

 o'clock, to Dr. Ripley's Church, where prayers 

 were offered liy Rev. IMr Frost, of Concord, and 

 an Address deliv'red by William Kenrick, Esq., 

 of Newton. The Exhibition at the Court House 

 was good. The specimens of vegetables were nu- 

 merous, and the Household manufactures highly 

 creditable ; but the great variety and excellence 

 of the fruit has not before been equalled — £i par- 

 ticular account of which would be interesting, hut 

 whicb must be deferred this week, for want of 

 space. We ought also to say that several valua- 

 ble implements of husbandry, presented for exhi- 

 bition only, by Joseph Breck, Esq., proprietor of 

 the Agiicidtural Warehouse in Boston, were no- 

 ticed by our fanners with approbation. At two 

 o'clock, the Society sat down to a dinner, provi- 

 deil in Shepherd's usual good style, during whidi 

 the regular and volunteer sentiments served to 

 show that, however bleak, dusty and cold it might 

 be without, there certainly was good cheer within. 

 We are now convinced, that the Cattle Show is, 

 above all other days, the holiday of the people. — 

 Let the wind blow, dust, or rain, or cold, they are 

 ready to attend the Caltle Show. This is well, 

 ami it should lead those under whose direction 

 they are jdaccd, to make such improvements in 

 their arrangement, as will promote, still more, the 

 great object intended by them.
