RemarTis. 

 The Trustees have heretofore been very free in their offers to 

 induce the exhibition of good butter. It is an article in which 

 the farmers of Essex have a great interest ; and for which, they 

 are always sure of a liberal reward. It is to be hoped that they 

 will prove by their exhibition of this article the present season, 

 that they are not behind their neighbors in this most valuable 

 domestic manufacture. Ladies, if your husbands are wanting in 

 enterprise, come forward yourselves, and you will find your re- 

 ward.
