d Ploughinn; Match, for the County of Esse.x, 



k place at the South Parish, in Danvers, on 



ur,s.l,.y, tlic 12th inst. 



"h'^ lay was favourable for the purpose, and the 



ubition as a whole, decidedly superior to that 



my preceding year made by the Society. 

 The number of cattle exhibited was not so large 



uas desirable, and as it ought to have been in 

 ounty of Essex ; but the quality of the ani- 

 ls in a good degree balanced their deficiency 

 niuubers. Tliere were 5 Bulls, 3 Bull Calves, 6 

 h Cows, <j Heifers, \'2 pair of working Oxen, 

 >air of Steers,.") parcels of weaned Pigs, 2 Boars, 



t wore exhibited for premium, besides several 



er j.ri; e animals, that were presented for Exhi- 

 lon oidy. The Nurse Cow, now owned by Col. 



kering, to which the 1st premium was awarded 



uperior to any other Cow within our knowl- 

 le. From her milk, during the space of 73 days 

 the months of April, May, and June last, was 

 de 154 pounds of butter, of the best quality. — 

 Cow, ](j years old, owned by Mr Sibley of Sa- 

 1, was exhibited, which it is said, gave the past 



son, 3!l27 pounds of milk in 119 days, averag- 

 33 lbs. per day. She is also said not to have 



n iiy for the last 10 years, more than 4 weeks 

 iny one time. The Ploughing Match was per- 

 med to tlie entire satisfaction of all who witnes- 



it. It was equal to any one we have ever seen. 



soon as opportunitv can be had for preparing 

 Reports of the several Committees they will 



publio'ied. 



The folio-', in? is believed to be an accurate 

 dement of the jr^iuiums awarded : —

SLIGHT BUILDING. 



Nothing can be said in mitigation of the inex- 

 cusable neglect of the Common Council of New- 

 York, in permitting, as they at present do, our 

 houses to he put together after such a flimsy paste- 

 board and job-contracting fashion, that the lives 

 of the citizens are every moment jeopardized. I 

 look upon the persons who erect those cobweb ed- 

 ifices, as guilty of a high-banded misdemeanor 

 against the rights and privilges of the community. 

 In former years a better spirit prevailed. Our nu- 

 merous churches, and the faithful and elegant 

 manner in which they have been constructed, 

 show, that although we may offer up too many 

 sacrifices upon the altars of mammon, we wish at 

 least to be thought the worshippers of a Christian 

 Deity. — ,/V. Y. Inquirer.
