THE MOSS ROSE. The Angel oi the flowers, one day, Beucatii a rose-tree sleeping lay ; That Spirit, to whose charge is siv'n To bathe young: buds in dews from heav'n, Awaking fronfhis light repose, The An^el whisperd to the Rose, 4* Oh, fairest object of my care, Still fairest found where all are fair, For the sweet shade thou'st given to rue, Ask what thou wilt—'tis granted thee." "Then," said the Rose, with deepened glow, u On me another grace bestow." The Spirit paused—in silent thought What grace was there that (lower had not; ?Twasbut a moment; oVr the Rose, A veil of moss the Angel throws ; And rob'd in nature's simplest weed, Could there a flower that Rose exceed ? u- AGRICULTURAL. From the Upper Canada Gazette, Mity 18. At the Cattle Show of the Upp^r Ca¬ nada Agricultural Society, held at York on Wednesday the 17th May, 1820, the following premiums were adjudged : FOR HORSES. No. 1.—Five Guineas to Jacob Snyder, of the Towuship of Vaughan, for a Horse five years old, raised by him- sel r. 2.—Three Guineas to Joshua Wixon, of the Township of Pickering: ten years old, raised in New-York. 3.—Two Guinea^ to Peter Romer, of the Township of Markham, touryears old, raised by himself. FOR BULLS. I.—Four Guineas to Thomas Bright, of the Town of York, three years old, raised in the United States- 2.—Two Guineas to Anthony HoUings- bead, of the Township of Vaughan : thrre years old, raised by himself. 3.—One Guinea to John Richardson, nf the Township of Scarborough ; four years old, raised bv himself. FOR COWS. 1.—Three Guineas to Thomas Bright of the Town of York ; three years old, raised in the same Town. 2.—Two Guineas to Joshua Wixon, of * the Township of Pickering ; three years old, raised by himself. 3.—One Guinea to Thomas Bright of the Towa of York. FOR BOARS. 1.—Three Guineas to George Skeling, of the Township of York; fourteen mouths old. 2.—Two Guineas to Lieutenant Colonel Heward, of the Township of York. 3.—One Guinea to William Hall, of the Township of York. FOR RAMS. 1.—Three Guineas to George Skeling, of the Township of York. 2.—Two Guineas to Thomas Adams, of the Township of Scarborough. 3.—One Guinea to Valentine Fisher, of the Township of Vaughan. The Show of Horses and Bulls did great credit to the District; and (he spe¬ cimens of all the animals were in gene- rtL*He*iyvttt>& 8fc%«*Ali<UftuM cumuli u.< ,-.. Dot entered, the owners not having ap¬ plied until after the limited time had ex¬ pired. The Shew was amended by 3 very large number of spectators, many of whom came from a considerable distance. Although it excited much more inte¬ rest than was expected, yet the Society ■was disappointed in not having a larger number of practical farmers join the in¬ stitution* which was formed for their im- mediate h^nefit, and to render their aid as little burdensome to themselves as pos¬ sible, the subscription to become a mem¬ ber of it wat reduced to one dollar per annum. This small sum from every far¬ mer would enable the Society to be of vast utility to the country instead of be¬ ing as at present, from the smallness of its funds, coniined to a single Cattle Show in the year for a few animals. Hith¬ erto the Society has been almost entirely supported by the inhabitants of this town, who are only indirectly interested, from motives of public spirit. , R. C. HORNE, Sec'y. to farmer's wives. A most excellent method of making B UTTE ft, as now practised in Eng* land) which tjfectually prevents its change tng^ and becoming rancid.—The day be¬ fore churning, scald the cream in a clean iron kettle, over a clear fire, taking care that it does not boil over. As soon as it begins to boil, or is fully scalded, strain it, when the particles of milk, which tended to sour and change the butter, are separated and left behind. Pat the vessel into which it was strained, into a tub of water, in a cellar, till the next morning, when it will be ready for churn¬ ing, and become butter in le«s than a quarter of the time required io the com¬ mon method. It will also be hard, with a peculiar additional sweetness, and will got change.—The labor in this way is fk .s than the other, r*s the butter comes so much soone?, and saves so much time in working out the buttermilk.— By this jnetbi d good butter may be made iu the hottest weather. From the Medical an J Surgical Journal of Edinburgh. Cure for foundered horses, by a Bur^irai operation. Ct The operation has fuccccded adraira* bly, and will probably lead to a fimilar t pra&ice in the human fubje£ts. It has hitherto failed frequently in the Tic DoU oureux and other difeafes, either from the regeneration of the divided nerve produ¬ cing a union and refloration of ferifation, or from the effect being produced by the fwellin£ of the ends of the cut nerve fuffi- cient to effeft the union. But the excis¬ ion of two inches in length effe&uaUy prevents fuch a reftoration of feeling Mr. Sewell, the well known afliftant profefTor at the Veterinary College, who has the exclufive claim to this improvement, in the courfe of the laft eighteen months, per¬ formed this operation on above loo horfes, with uniform fuccefs, except perhaps two or three cafe«, in which there was great organical difeafe of the foot. Although the operation requires the fkill of Mr. Sew- ell, it 19 very fimple. It confilh in cut¬ ting down upon the trunks of the nerves which e;;ter the foot in contact with the arteries, on each fide of either the fmall or large pattern joint, and then remov- in^ a piece of the nerve.—A few minutes after the operation, the animal walks and trots like a found horfe, which jud before could fcarcely move at all, and then in extreme pain. The principle is obvious— it is that of removing the conductors of fenfation from the feat in the difeafe to the brain. The divifion of the arteries ac¬ companying the nerves is carefully avoid ed." *• :*.. v fTlHE fubferiber feels it his duty, from L the villainous treatment he has receiv¬ ed, to guard the public againft any impo- fition on the part of Mr. Solomon Johns, by his offrring to fell any part of half an acre lot, with buildings thereon, in the vil¬ lage of Erneft Town, bounded on the ealt by the Farmer's Store, and on the weft by the property of the heirs of the late John Davy, as any title to the faid property hdd by him, wns fraudulently obtained by a furrender of a bond that was in my own vsmefor th? purchzfc made of ft in i 806, when Johns was at low wages, and as can be made appear evidently by various proof taken at the time of the examination of his tranfaftions in 1812—had no fliadow of a claim.
