contents have it." So the rorn law repeal bill was 

 passed, and a suppressed cheer ran through the ranks 

 of the free-traders that thronj'ed ihe strangers' gallery. 

 Meantime, in the house of commons, as the tedious 

 debate on the coereion bill was dragging itself along, 

 messengers from the lords announced that their lord- 

 ships had agreed to the corn and ouslonis bills, without 

 nniendmeiits. The members on the opposition lietieh- 

 es marked their satisfaction by a loud burst of cheering. 

 The debate then went on, its dullness redeemed by an 

 excellent speech from Mr. Charles Buller, and a. spark- 

 ling one from Mr. Shiel. It was filly concluded by a 

 short anil pithy speech from Cobden, w hen the que.slion 

 was taken and the ministers were ilefealed. The free- 

 trailers remained in the lobby of ihe bouse, and as Peel 

 passed out greeted him with rounds of enthusiastic ap- 

 plause. — Boston Post. 



Importation of Sheep. — We learn from the 

 Albany Kvt^iiin;; Joiiiiiul, I bat Mr. S. VV. Jevvett, 

 of \V(-fyl)riiJ;re, V't., lias jiisl iiii|)orte(i from En<r- 

 laiiii, ten yearliiiir ewes iVoiii llie tiimoiis !\leriiio 

 'flock of liie late Lord Western. In 1808, the 

 Spiinisli Cortes tenJeief) to the King of England 

 file Imiiilied Merino sliee|i lo disiriliiile anion}; 

 his .snbjeels. From tlii.s flock Lord Western was 

 allowed lo sel<!et liiriy. He was a distiiipuislied 

 breeder. In onr Inst niimlier lint one, we gave 

 an aceoiint of liis siiceess in forinini; a cross be- 

 tween the lAlerino and long wooled breeds. His 

 aim vviis to "engrail the Merino wool on a Lei- 

 cester carcass." 



A portion of llie flock were kei>t pure, exce|.t- 

 ing Siixoiiy bucks were occasionnlly used. It is 

 said that Lord Western, by a jiiilirious course of 

 breeding, increased the weight of fleece, without 

 deteriorating the ftiieiiess. Mr. J.'s iinjiorlalion 

 is from this lot. — Boston Culiividor. 



G-^OD Pj.an of Setting oit Pla.nts. — An en- 

 terprising nirinor in this vicinity, wlio reads !is 

 well as ploii;;lis, as all fanners slionid do, informed 

 us a few days ago thai In; bad learned from some 

 ogriciillnral p.-iper, an exeelleiit plan of transplan- 

 ting', wliieli aiisi\ers well, even in dry weather, 

 for eahliagr, potato slips, strawberries, and prob- 

 alily tobacco, &c As he fiirnislied us at the time 

 with a qnantity of strawberry vines, ue set them 

 out according to bis plan, and tlioiigli it was 

 done riming the very warm dry days we had a 

 short tiiiK! back, not one of the plants has for a 

 moment presented the least appearance of any 

 check in its growth, not even llie falling of a leaf: 

 but all have contiiined to grow with apparently 

 as much freshness and vigor as if tliey bad not 

 been removed from their bed. The method is 

 simply Ibis:— 'I'ake equal ipiaiiliiii'S of ashes, 

 rich swanjp mud, and slronir, well rolled manure 

 of aiiv kiiui, and pour water lo them in a vessel 

 iiiid stir milil the mi.xtuie is made into a " /o/j/o/- 

 1)/" of the consistency of paste ; taken bucket 

 of this coniposiiion with you along the rows, aiid 

 clip the roots of your plants in it; and then set 

 them out ill the ordinary way as quick as pos- 

 sible, vvilh as much of the preparation adber- 

 iiiL' to them as they can hold. Keep ibe mix- 

 ture well slirred up. Plants can llius he set out 

 successfully "in season and out of season," with 

 soinetliing too around the roots to give them a 

 start. — jYurtk Carolina Fnrmr.r. 



American Pkoducts i.n England. — A Lou- 

 don correspondent of the ISoston Traveller 

 writes : 



" American cheese, when hrst iniri)duceil bore, 

 was not esteemed ; only the poorer classes would 

 jiiirehase it ; now, the leading cheese mongers 

 always have a large supply of .■\nii'rican cheeses, 

 mill take care to iufirui die public of its superi- 

 or quality. Indian cnrn isaiioiher article of food, 

 now iniifli talked of, and gri'al efforts are making 

 to introduce the bread from corn-meal amongst 

 till' people of Ireland, Kugland and Scotland. — 

 Dr. Tiiompsoii recently read an able paper at a 

 meeliiig of the Olasi;ow Philosophical riociety, 

 on the nnlrilive qualities of Indian corn, which 

 lie ranked very liiuli, and said it made "au agree- 

 abh; arlirle of diet." The hi.\uries, too, of the 

 I'niled Slates, may he foniiil in the metropolis of 

 England. To say noihing of American ice, ex- 

 tensively used by the iiobilily and gentry, the 

 tables of the West l''iid aristocracy may now he 

 supplied willi canvass-hack ducks, wild turkeys 

 and venison, 'i'bese, and several oilier delicacies 

 from the Uiiiled Slates, are advertised for sale by 

 the ' .American Ice Company,' 106 New Bond

Law of Newspapers. 



1. Siihscrihers who do not give express notice 

 to the contrary, are considered wishing lo con- 

 tinue their subscription. 



3. If subscribers order the discoiiliniiance of 

 their papers, the publisher may continue to send 

 them till all arrearages are paid. 



3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to lake their 

 papers from the oflice where ihey are directed, 

 they are held responsible till they have settled 

 their bill, and ordered their paper discontinued. 



4. If subscribers remove to other places with- 

 out informing the publisher, and the paper is 

 sent to the former direction, they are held re- 

 sponsible. 



5. The courts have decided that refusing to 

 take a paper or a periodical from the oflice, or 

 removing and leaving it uncalled for, is "/jrima 



facie'''' evidence of intentional fraud. 



Manures for Fruit Trees. — No tree appears 

 to he more benefitted liy animal manures than the 

 pei4ch tree. We may often observe this when it 

 grows near a barn-yard, so as to reach the man- 

 ure: that the growth Is greater, the leaves green- 

 er, and the fruit larger, than when it stands on 

 sterile ground ; and even as a general rule, fruit 

 of the same variety is flavored in proportion to 

 its size ; the larger, the finer. Urine may lie very 

 advantageously applied to this tree, especially 

 while it is small, as well as to young apple trees. 

 It not only hastens their growth, but, by its offen- 

 sive odor, repels the borer from the latter, and 

 the |ieacli-wiirm (/Egeria) from the former. A 

 small tree will bear a pint once a tbrlnight, and 

 perhaps more and olieiier ; fiir I have never in- 

 jured any of my trees by ibis application, and 

 consequently have not ascertained the amount 

 which may be u.'^eil upon them; certainly large 

 trees will hear much more. — Am. (^nar. Jour. 



Agf, of Sheep. — The age of a sheep may be 

 kuinvu by examining the i'rout teelb. They are 

 eight in number, and appear during the first year, 

 all of a small size. In llie second year, the two 

 middle ones hill out, anrl their jilace is supplied 

 by two new teeth, which are easily disiiiiguislied 

 by being of a larger size. In the third year, two 

 other small teeth, one from each side, drop out 

 and are replaced by two large ones, so that there 

 are now four large teelh in the middle, and two 

 pointed ones on each side. In the liuirth year, 

 the larfje teeth are six in number, and only two 

 small ones rcinaiu, one at each end of the range. 

 In the fifth year the remaining small teelh are 

 lost, and the whole front teeth are large. In the 



I sixth year, the whole begin lo be worn; 



I the sevenlh, sometimes sooner, some fall 

 are broken. — Mountain Shepherd's Mayiual.

Manufactures at Saco, IMe. — The Portland 

 Adverliser says this town is growing' fast. One 

 large liiclory and over 100 other liiiildings, some 

 of lliem very large and costly, were erected here 

 during the year 181.5. There are now in this 

 place five large liictories, coiitainiiig :W,()'J4 spin- 

 dles and 1100 looms, making a'^O.OOO yards of 

 cloili a week. Another large mill to contain 

 a-l.OOO spindles and between (iOO and 700 looms 

 is in progress of erection. 



Destroying Grub Worms — .A correspondent 

 of the Gencssee Farmer says tliat finding these 

 insects were ciitiing off' bis corn and labbases at 

 a sad rate, he applied ashes, then soot, then 

 Scotch siiufr to the hill, hoping lo drive aw/iv llie 

 worm, but it was all to no purpose. He afier- 

 vvaids applied two table spoons liill of salt lo each 

 hill, placing it so as not to loiicli the plant, and 

 the worms left immediately. 



'i'lii: Potato Rot. — The llarlford Courant says: 

 We fear that our farmers are again to sailer extensive- 

 ly by this disease. It has already made it.s appeur- 

 ancc, we understand, in several sections of this coun- 



ly-,. 



The Colunitiia Spy, published in Lancaster county. 

 Pa., states that the disease has seized upon the early 

 pol.itoes in that region, and threatens ilcslriirlion to the 

 whole crop. One geiilleiiian who expected to get fifty 

 liusliels from a field, received but five. The disease is 

 said to be mora fatal to the Mercer than any other kind 

 of potato.
