 The following is an eKtracl from a letter ad- 

 dressed to Mr James Deering, by I\lr James Sis- 

 son, of Warren, (R. !.)—'• In the fall of 1820, I 

 imported from Bremen, (Nor/li of Germany) 3

 their progeny fur three successive seasons. The 

 first year al gl5 the pair; the two succeeding

 weigh nearly and in some instances qiiile, twice 

 the weight, have double the quantity of feath-

THE USE OF TEA. 

 There are as many opinions among physicians

 tea has many friends. Perhaps there is no one
