SEYMOUlt, A Committee. ?jThe cotnmittce nppointed lo examine Crops pioposed for premiums at the present Agricultura] meeting and fair of Waslitenaw County, lespectfully report, that thcy have endeavored to discharce according to the best of their ability the duty cissigrïed them. Every field to which their attentiori was callcd has been visited eithrr by the whole committee, or by a mnjority of them, and guch a careful and impartía] examination givcn to e;ch as was judged nece?sary tb form an aeouratë estímate f tho quaUty and quantity of the respective producís. The folíowmg is the result to which they have come: Luther Boyden of the town of Webster, submitted to their inspeclion a field of wheat of 20 acres. T!ie kind sown was the Red chaff-bald. This erop was remarkably thick and even, and éhtirely free from chess and othcr weeds. The yield was 34 bushels to the acre. Joscph WyckoiTóf the town of Superior, invited their attöntion to two fields of wheat, each contaming 10 acres, of the kind tlenominated Beardcd Kcntvcky or JVavlttckei. The erop was tolerably even and very clean, but not so thick as the precednïg. The berry however was quite plump, 38 bushels to the öcre. The committee would here remurk, that a field of benrded wheat ahvays appcars, from the very nature of the heads or ears, thicker than it actually is, nnd that in comparing it with wheat not benrded, a very close observation is necessary, or injustice will bedone to the Jatter. Thomas Alexander. jr. of the town of Webeter, proposec for examination a field of wheat of SO acres. It was principally of the llrd chaff hald, The erop was as thick as the one last mentioned, but not so clean as cither of the above. And as it was struck with the t rust and cut rat her late, the committee were Lf the opinión it would not yield more than either of the other?. They thercforc award the first premium to L. Boyden, $8 00 The second, to J. Wyckoff, 5 00 The third, to T. Alexander, 3 00 Besides the above, the committee examined several other fiuldsof remarkubly good wheat. Of these the best was one belonging to Lemuel Foscer, of the town of Ann Arbor. This consisted of L0 acres and all of óne kind, the White Flint. The erop was perfectly clean and cultivnted m the best farrner-like manner. The committee would have rejoiccd h:id the fiinds of the society cnabled them to award a premium of $3 to Mr. Foster. For although his wheat yielded not as much to the acre as that contained on some other fields, yet the great attention which it was evident had been bestowed upon it, entititles it to particular attention, and places it very nearly if not quite on an equality with the one lnst named. In the further prosecution of their duty, the committee discovercd that in several instances 4here seemed to have been a want of sufticient óarc in thé selection of wheat for secd. Some fields exhibited 4 and one 5 different kinds in alqaojt equal proporüons. The committee'rr'r-Tnrfr'1 ' i ni ■■!■ i,.- i, 1 state the fact, simply because tliey nre indnc. to beheve any future committee, m awardir premiums, wonld bc influenced, as they ha' been, at least in some degree, by tuis circuw ' stance. The committee have fortlier to add, thi therewereno applications for premiums c any other crops, made with the time for riviu nonce thereof except by Mr. üoydeon fieWofflax. Onth.shewouldhavebeenei Ulied to a premium. In consequence howev er of the want of competition ho generousl requesfed tbat none mierht be awardcd As the society cotemplntes improvements i ZtC?U''e' f, U',]1 as a&cuItUre, the con m ttee has indiilged the hope, there would b a largo exhibido of the producís of the rar (ion : they are obhd to add, however, tlM J uiongn in Ihia particular they were not entírc j ly lorgotten, their expectntions were not real i izea. h.

In thecourse of their examination tho cemTiití ee passed severa] fields of wheat and othet proiJ'iciVons, which they (ïeomed it not improbable miVlit oresent as fair claims for premiums as either o." t'?oee already mentioned.

Americart kill an j induslry exhibited at the fuir of the nierican Instituto, are American pins, made. the Ilowe marinfactúring compnny, Bir iiiiigham, Conn. Thoy are all the usual ixes, but differ from the imported pinmamly ti this, that they are solld headed - that is, he pin and hcad are one and indivisible. - Fhe pina are twice the stiftness of the Engsh, and the pemt of exceeding fineness, owng to the improvgments in the methud of nanufacturing. They are of admirable qualiy and finish , and are afforded cheaper than 'ins have ever been before - 300 forfwe cents. l'he establishment now turns out over 1,000,100 pins per day, and is prepared to supply iromptly the Union.
