branches of Industry, embraced by their a|)|)oint-| I" addition to the preceding regular premiums, 

 mem, every encouragement within the means of i the committee recommend for the premiums set 



the Society, not inconsistent with what may be 

 considered as due to other branches. The vari- 

 ous articles, entered for premium at the present 

 Show, evince, on the whole, an improvement on 

 those exhibited on previous occasions ; and the 

 committee are persuaded, that the money, hereto- 

 fore paid out in premiums on similar articles, has 

 been a truly profitable e.xpenditure. They have 

 awarded for the article of Butter, exhibited at this 

 present Show, the following Premiums : — 



To Clarissa Webster, of Johnston, for the 

 best box, containing forty pounds, the first premi- 

 um $10 



To Joseph S. Budlong, of Warwick, for the 

 next best lot, the second premium, 8 



To Silas Spink, of Cranston, the third premi- 

 um, 6 



To Welcome Alverson, Johnston, the fourth 

 premium, 5

 mium, 4 



To Thomas R. Greene, of Warwick, for one 

 firkin, weight 50 lbs. the first premium on firkin 

 butter, 6 



To Hannah Dawley, of Warwick, for one fir- 

 kin of fifty pounds, the second premium. 4 



The committee regret to have to state, that 

 some firkin butter was entered for premium which 

 proved on examination, to have been plated ; the 

 under layers, being found to consist of butter of a 

 quality very inferior to that presented on the sur- 

 face. Several parcels of the box butter were so 

 nearly alike, that the committee found it diflicult 

 to decide between them. 



For the best lot of Cheese, one hundred pounds, 

 made by Benjamin Greene of Warwick, they award 

 the first premium on that article, $8 



For the second best lot, of 100 lbs. the second 

 premium, to Nicholas S. FVey. 6 



There was very little competition in this article; 

 but the two lots on which the premium are 

 awarded were found to be of excellent quality. 



On Household Manufactures, by females, they 

 have awarded the following premiums. 



To Mrs. llosanna Greene, of Warwick, for the 

 best piece of Carpeting, being of excellent quality, 

 the first premium, §6

RAW SILK AND MULBERRY TREES. 



[A report of too great length for this pa- 

 per, was made by the Committee, embracin;^ 

 some facts and statements, believed to be useful 

 in reference to this imjiortant branch of industry. 

 In conclusion the Report says] 



The Committee regret to have to state, that 

 there is a great falling off this year, compared 

 with the last, in the exhibition of raw and sewing 

 silk. At the same time they notice with satisfac- 

 tion, an increased attention to the cultivation o 

 the Mulberry Tree in this state. This is tlie 

 foundation of the silk business, and the rearing of 

 worms will follow, as a matter of course, the cul- 

 tivation of the tree. Most of those who presented 

 specimens last year, are ready to continue and 

 extend the experiments, as soon as they can find 

 a market for the material produced. 



In silk there was but one specimen offered 

 this year, a very fine sample, remarkably well 

 handled. The quantity was small, being 2J lbs, 

 of raw silk, for which the Committee award. 



To Miss Maria S. Levalley, of Warwick, $5 



To the same, for small samples of sewing silk 

 and cocoons, 1 



To Charles Dyer, on certificate of the reariiu' 

 of more than 10,000 mulberry trees, from seixi 

 planted the 17th of last April, at the Mulberry 

 Grove Nursery, in Cranston. The first preiniuiu,

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society held a 

 special meeting on Wednesday evening last, at the 

 Washington Hall, for the purpose of exhibiting to 

 the members and their friends the Fruits of the' 

 season, the growth of our city and vicinity. The' 

 notice was short, but the collection brought to the' 

 room was extensive, and gave great satisfaction. ' 



Charles Chauncey, Esq. sent several Lemons, 

 of a very large size and flavor, raised by himself: 

 Pound Pears, very large Apples, and the beautiful 

 Lady Apples (ponime d'ajji). 



The collection of Peaches was truly grand. 

 Mr Bates, of Camden, New Jersey, the well' 

 known extensive and successful cultivator of fruit, 

 sent a quantity of his'fine white free-stone Peacheg 

 (seedling,) in high order, tender and luscious; and' 

 Roilman's Cling. Heath Peaches, from Mr George, 

 Pejjper. Do, for preserving, by Mr M'Arann,
