The Committee on Discretionary Pre-' miums and Awards, report: That they have . examined, with- qj much care as possible, a number of arti cles not included in tho regular premium list, and find several worthy of notice and reward. ; Mrs Elizabeth Coleman exhibited "cna . worsted embroidered picture" a very fine specimen of skillful "handiwork'. Mr. Peleg Redfield different products cf his garden, including apple pie melons, California citrons, rutabaga, sweet com and pumpkins, common and ne plus ultra ' cucumbers. These products furnish sat isfactory proofs of skillful and well dir ected industry, and affords additional cvi-" dence of the already established fact that" the invincible soil of Nebraska is as -a ' rious in capacity as it is prolific and- rich in production. -: Mr. James Anderson exhibited an ex cellent quality of butter, made from app Us pie melons. .It bears som3 resemblance to peach butter, and is delicious in flavor. One solid limestone gate-post, cut and finished by Mr. George Clinton, is entitl ed to especial notice and commendation. The material wa3 procured from hi3 cv cellent and inexhaustible quarry, within six miles of Nebraska City. A fine saddle mule, of srr.all r.ze, but pos?essing great powers cf endurar.ee. was placed on exhibition ly McCall Rasia It attracted general and favorall? notice. Messrs. Davi? & Teeso's lay retlting, Ben. Bolt, was the fastest trotting nag exhibited. The Committee had the rleasuro uf taking reliable testimony oa the claim .of Judge II C Wolph, cf Cass cemtv. to tho "best cultivated farm of 40 acres." Thi " evidence wa3 very satisfactory, and fully justifies a favorable report. We do. not pretend to enu.nerate the good points of. this excellent farm, but we canoe?, omit to mention that fine fencinrr and plowing, and "constant attention to keeping out all kinds of weeds," were some few of th evidences furnished by Jud::e Wolph hi' favor of his claim to "the best cultivated farm." To each one of the persons named, wo recommend that a suitable diploma should . be awarded. In closing their report, your Committee beg leaveto say. that this first Territorial Fair of Nebraska, though not a complete success, i3 far from a failure. Taking all things into consideraticn, it is a marvel that we have done half so well. Tha Territory i3 but a little more than five years old. Daring the first half cf her existence, she was exposed to the prevail ing epidemic cf wild and insane specula- . tion; and for the lasttwo years : ehe-hm suffered under the prostration censeq-ent upon a long run of financial dissipation and folly. But instead of yielding to the almost fatal effect3 of low times after " high times, the people cf Nebraska betook themselves to their fields:, and forsaking all the delusive schemes of speedy fortune by speculation, followed that never sailing friend, the plough, to prosperity and in- dependence. . This Territorial Fair is a part cf the first fruits. Energy, perseverance, and -the awaiting courage which never sinks, bein to reap their irreat reward. In ev ery element of prosperity, the present exceeds our utmost anticipations. The future is filled with encouragement and promise. " - S. W. Blacs. Cha-rraa'a, R. W. YVL: :r II. II.
