Notices, ^'C. 



Vol. IV. 



KOTICES, &c. 



We hereby inform the public that Mr. Francis C. 

 Wilson, our late carrier and agent in this city, and 

 who travelled for us to some extent in Delaware and 

 Maryland, is no longer authorized to transact business 

 for the ofBce of the Farmers' Cabinet. We are the 

 more particular in giving this notice, as we have re- 

 ceived information that Mr. Wilson is engaged in cir- 

 culating a work similar in appearance and character to 

 our own, and we wish our friends distinctly to under- 

 stand, that the new Cabinet is not their old friend the 

 Farmers' Cabinet. 



Our New Jersey agent, Mr. John R. Post, will oblige 

 US by informing us how a letter should be directed to 

 be received by him. 



Union of the Cultivator and Oenessec Farmer. — We 

 have received the first number of vol. vii. of this ever 

 welcome periodical, being the first number of the con- 

 solidated paper, to be edited by Willis Gaylord and 

 Ldther Tucker, Esquires. We congratulate the pa- 

 trons of the Cultivator that the place of the late Editor 

 is thus so soon and well supplied. We are also grati- 

 fied to learn that the subscribers to the new paper are 

 to be presented with an engraved portrait of its late 

 Editor, JunoE Buel, which we have no doubt will be 

 cherished by thousands as a valuable remembrancer of 

 departed worth. The portrait is to be accompanied by 

 the " Horticulturist's Coat-of-jlrms,'" devised by A. 

 Walsh, Esq., of Lansinburg, and exhibited at the Fair 

 at Niblo's Garden, New York, in October last. The 

 impressions are to be from a wood Cut of large sizfe, 

 and the two will constitute a liberal present to the 

 subscribers. 



Maine Farmer. — No. 1, vol. viii. of this work is be- 

 fore us. We are happy to learn from the address at 

 the commencement of a new volume, that friend 

 Holmes is encouraged to persevere from the success 

 and experience of the past. May his labours in the 

 cause of agriculture be continued until his high hopes 

 shall be realized, of seeing our native state "a model 

 of improvement, enterprise and virtue." 



We omit the usual account of the markets this week 

 for the want of room. 



To Our City Sn1>8cribers« 



We are preparing bills to present to our city suB 

 seribers in a few days by the carrier, which we ha* 

 no doubt will be met by them with their usual promptB 

 tude. Some of them have already called at the office, and 

 paid up their subscriptions to the close of Vol. IV. for 

 which they have our thanks, and should any mistakes 

 occur in presenting bills, they will of course be cheer- 

 fully corrected.
