TO COKRE5P0NDENTS. 



We have received an "Address delivered at the 

 formation of the Berkshire Horticultural Society, 

 bf S.ivi i.i, \Y. Bush, Esq*" together with a copj 

 of a resolve of said Society relutive to its publica- 

 tion in the N. E. Farmer, for which we are under 

 great obligations to the Society and to Mr. Bush. 

 We shall commence publishing the Address in our 

 next. We have also several other favors from cor- 

 respondents, which we consider valuable, and shall 

 as soon as practicable, give each a pluce in our 

 columns. 



ITEMS OF INTELLIGENCE. 



Fine Sheep and Hard Times. A correspondent informs 

 >is tli.it the ten wethers, mentioned in the Brighton Re- 

 portasthe fineBt ever seen there, were of the pure Dishlev 

 stock, nosed on the farm of Thomas Dunn, Esq. of Al- 

 bany, whose stock of sheep and swine has long been dis- 

 tinguished for excellence ; and were fatted at Meadow- 

 banks, Deerfield. It appears by the Franklin Mercury 

 printed at Greenfield. Mass. that two hundred dollars 

 had been offered and refused before they started. At 

 Lancaster the owner rejected another offer of one hun- 

 dred and fifty dollars. At Brighton the highest bid was 

 one hundred and twenty-five. This is probably the lot 

 mentioned by the reporter of the Daily Advertiser as 

 ;t the finest he ever saw." 



A pair of white steers owned by Mr. Phineas Page of 

 Barnardston were weighed Feb. 25, and their weight 

 including the yoke was found to amount to two-thou- 

 sand two hundred and twenty pounds. Tkey do credit 

 to their feeding. — Greenfield Mercury.
