 FRUITS EXHIBITED.

 globular formed fruit, of a yellow color — very fair, 

 very sweet and good. A native Apple which orig- 

 inated on the farm of his ancestors ; the trees are 

 stated to be extraordinarilj' productive. 



By Messrs Winship. — Apples from Mr W. R. 

 Champnoy of Brighton, color green and red, and of 

 handsome appearance ; evidently a winter fruit — 

 quality not ascertained. Also from the same. Na- 

 tive Apples received of Messrs C. & D. P. Dyer 

 of Providence, from the originrl tree growing in 

 Johnson, R. I. These were rather large, of a 

 globular form, and white color, with a faint blush 

 next the sun — ^juicy, saccharine, subacid and of 

 delicious flavor. An uncommonly fine fruit, and 

 said to be a good bearer. This new apple well de- 

 serves a name, for the name by which it is some- 

 times called, is applied in common to many others, 

 and it has been suggested that it be called Dyer^s 

 Apple, from the gentleman who has introduced it 

 to notice. — From Mr Jacob Deane of .Mansfield, a 

 box of ap])les as follows: Pumpkin Sweet, a veiy 

 large red striped apple, sweet and of good quality.

 green and yellow color, very sweet. Jf'inter Swee!,

 be injected with any requisite force, and without the 

 necessity of once removing the Pipe until the operation 

 is completed. When the animal is restless, as is usually 

 the case in Gripes and Inflammation of the Bowels, the 

 iDBgfh and flexibility of the Elastic Tubeing utTords great 

 facility and security, as the operator may stand at a con- 

 siderable distance, or even in an adjoining stall.
