lbs. These looked healthy and hardy, and were ornaments to 

 the pig tribe. 



Mr. John FusselJ, of Jamaica Plain, honored us with a ro- 

 bust pair of the Suflolk breed two years old. Their age and 

 hardy appearance gave them an acceptable rank among their 

 competitors. 



J. and J. E. Eaton, of Dedham, exhibited a Suffolk boar, 

 sixteen months old. This pig is looking up towards a high 

 station among the favorites. 



A Suffolk boar and sow, owned by Mr. John Deane, 3d, of 

 Dedham, deserve a good place in the present hog-scale of 

 excellence. At last came those superior Suffolk pigs, a barrow 

 and sow six months old, owned by Mrs. George Hallet, of Rox- 

 bury. These were indeed specimens of excellence every way 

 well proportioned, — round and plump, — speaking well for the 

 crib of their mistress.
