PLOWING— DOUBLE TEAMS.

 Alonzo P. Goodridge, of Fitchburg, Michigan plow, not 

 swivel; Nathan Caswell, of Fitchburg, Mason's EagleVswivel; 

 Page & Shattuck, of Fitchburg, double Michigan swivel; 

 I. & J. T. Everett, of Princeton, double Michigan swivel; 

 N. B. Reed, of Princeton, double Michigan swivel ; Downs 

 & Hosmer, of Fitchburg, double Michigan plow, not swivel.

 the teams went to their work with spirit and energy, prob*

 by the cash that was to be found in the last furrows of the 

 successful compefitors.
