The foreigner who, after reading the dreadful history of the sufferings of revolu. tionary France, traverses her extensive plains, her valleys and sloping hills, which display the greatest fertility, and exhibit the happy scenes of rural and pastoral life, is tempted to suspect the testimony of his own eyes, and to believe that he has been seduced by the charms of a pleasant dream.

The difference of climate, government and habits, might, however, present an objection calculated to weaken the influence of the above cited examples.

Gentlemen of this society:

I do not know a more laudable end our society could have in view than that of preventing the use of ardent spirits. I wish I could, without tiring the patience of my audience, represent here all their pernicious effects upon the human mind and body. Poverty and ruin, crimes and infamy, discases and death, would be found the leading features in this woeful detail.

Yet in its progress we may find great encouragement, and sufficient cause for anticipating the greatest bene. fits, by treading in its steps. But, to carry conviction still further, I will here, gentlemen, give you word for word a statement of the prosperous situa tion of Berkshire in Oct. 1817, made by the president of the agricultural society of that county: "Only six years ago, the agriculture concerns of Every reflecting man is sensible of the infinite the county were stationary.

correct information prevails, and greater emulation is awakened. The vast increase, variety and excellence in our crops, satisfy our warmest desires, and leave us nothing to wish and nothing to envy in the most favored regions of the west." Only six years, gentlemen, have been sufficient to work these wonders; and yet I must observe, that they for a long time labored under great disadvantage, before they could obtain the legislative aid they were solicit ing.

Gentlemen of the society: The incalculable advantages resulting from agricultural societies seem to be daily better understood, and regarded with increasing favor.

In the Legislature of the State of Georgia, on the 11th Nov. 1818, the following message was received from the Governor of the State:

Those efforts were repelled; and the proceeds arising from the sale of them, after deducting the expenditures incurred, amounts to $34,736 18 cents, which sum has been deposited in the Bank at this place, subject to my order.

The common wing gudgeon is slightly bevelled on both sides. Models of both kinds were produced to the Court. No person could be found who had ever seen a wing gudgeon in use corresponding to the model produced by the patentee, at the District Court upon the above hearing, as comprising his improvement, and the general opinion was that it would be useless.

The counsel for the defendant, after calling one or two witnesses, rested his case upon the grounds, that the facts proved did not amount to a conspiraey in Law, and that there had been no cheating with false tokens sufficiently laid in the indictment or proved upon the trial.

The cause was submitted to the Jury after a patient hearing of a day and a half, full argument of Amsterdam, counsel, and an elaborate charge from the bench. The Defendant was found GUILTY upon both indictments, and sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars and to three months imprisonment under each. It is hoped that this case will prove a warning to all rogues, and particularly to surreptitious patentees.
