THE CULTIVATOR, 
July, 
Kossuth. —At the Annual Meeting of the State Agri¬ 
cultural Society, a resolution was adopted instructing 
the Executive Committee to present to Gov. Kossuth 
the Medal and Transactions of the Society, as an hum¬ 
ble token of the appreciation of the Society of his patri¬ 
otic and republican principles, and of their desire that his 
country may be permitted to enjoy the same privileges 
guarantied to us by our free institutions. 
The President and Secretary of the Society called upon 
Gov. Kossuth on his arrival in the city, to ascertain his 
pleasure in relation to the presentation, as designed by 
the Society, and were informed that it would give him 
great pleasure, on his return from Niagara Fails, to meet 
them at the Society’s rooms, which he much desired to 
visit, and examine the collection of implements, seeds, 
&c., which he had been informed the Society had collect¬ 
ed and arranged. 
On Saturday, the 5th of June, Gov. Kossuth, and 
Mrs. Kossuth, Col. Pulzky, and Mrs. Pulzky, Capt. 
Kalapsza and Capt. Frecheneh, were introduced by 
Mayor Perry to the officers and members of the Society 
present at their rooms. 
Mr. Johnson, Secretary of the Society, in the ab¬ 
sence of the President, Mr. Wager, who was unexpec¬ 
tedly called from the city, addressed Gov. Kossuth on 
presenting him the gold Medal and Transactions of the 
Society. He remarked that, as the representative of the 
Society, it gave him great pleasure in being permitted to 
present him the gold medal of the Society and a com¬ 
plete set of its Transactions; and he indulged the hope 
that Hungary might soon be in the enjoyment of those 
privileges guarantied to us by our free institutions. 
Gov. Kossuth made a brief, and, as always the case 
with him, most appropriate reply, and returned his most 
cordial thanks to the society and to its members present, 
for the gratifying occasion which had so unexpectedly 
been presented, to speak of his country in that relation 
which was dear to his heart. 
The Governor and his attendants spent nearly two 
hours in the examination of the museum—and made par¬ 
ticular inquiries in relation to the implements, seeds, &c., 
which were shown by the secretary of the society. 
Agricultural Journals. —The Green Mountain Gui¬ 
tarist , is the title of a new dollar monthly, just commen¬ 
ced at Middlebury, Yt., by D. R. Bassett 8c Co. The 
first number affords promise of an excellent work. 
The Wool-Grower, heretofore published at Buffalo, by 
T. C. Peters, has been transferred to D. D. T. Moore, 
editor Rural New-Yorker, by whom it will hereafter be 
published, at Rochester. This arrangement will adcf ma¬ 
terially to the interest and value of the work, as besides 
the continued labors of Mr. Peters, it will have the be¬ 
nefits of the experience and energy of Mr. Moore. 
Terms, 50 cents. 
The New Era, is the title of a weekly journal recent¬ 
ly started at Goldsboro’, N. C., by Robinson, Murphy 8c 
Co., a considerable portion of which is devoted, in a most 
efficient manner, to the cause of Agricultural improve¬ 
ment. — 
Good character is above all things else. 
Never listen to loose or idle conversation. 
Have no very intimate friends.

Bickford and Huffman’s Celebrated Grain Brill. 
T HIS excellent machine has been greatly improved, and double 
the usual number has been sold during the past year, without 
supplying the demand; and in all cases they have given perfect satis¬ 
faction. [(“r* Of the great number sold, not one has been returned , 
although each is warranted to sow all kinds of grain with accuracy, 
to suit the purchaser, and to be made in a workmanlike manner. 
Several years experience, and increased facilities for their manu¬ 
facture, enables us to offer them with confidence as the best grain 
drill in use. The grain is distributed with great accuracy and pre¬ 
cision, and in any desired quantity, by means of different sized gear¬ 
wheels. We manufacture them with drill tubes, either in single or 
double rows, to suit purchasers—when in double rows, the front row 
is several inches forward of the back row, (sowing the grain in rows 
seven inches apart,) facilitating the passage of the tubes among stones 
and clods. We will make them to order, if desired, with tubes at 
any required distance apart. 
Purchasers ordering Drills will please state distinctly the kind they 
prefer. Orders will be promptly attended to, and should be sent ear¬ 
ly, directed either to “ Bickford if Huffman , Macedon , Wayne Co.
