 my examination about the region of the colon ; — 

 but found no inflammation, nor any other morbid 

 aj)pearance, nntil I came to the duodenum ; it con- 

 tained nothing but a little yellow, greenisLi slime, 

 the duodenum somewhat inflamed, but the liver 

 quite sound. I then passed the knife between the 

 ribs and cartilages which connect the ribs with 

 the sternum, which I removed. 1 dissected the 



posed of the same blood, and united by the same 

 ties — a wound inflicted on either is felt through 

 the whole system.

a remedy for the disease I will not undertake to 



decide, as but one or two experiments have been 



made ; but it may be deserving a further trial.

AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS. 



The annual meeting of the Rockingham, N. H. 

 Agricultural Society was held at Exeter on the 

 15th inst. The exhibition was attended by a 

 goodly portion of intelligent yeomanry from dif- 

 ferent parts of the county. The show of neat 

 cattle was the best sustained part of the exhibi- 

 tion ; some of them were very fine. 



Mr. Peabody's address was highly spoken of, 

 and a general wish expressed of having it pub- 

 hshed. 



Among the premiums, were one of ten dollars 

 for the largest quantity of corn on an acre, being 

 eighty-six bushels and a half, to John Moulton, of 

 Exeter. For the largest quantity of potatos on 

 an acre, being three hundred and ninety-eight 

 bushels, to Josiah Butler, of Deerfield, six dollars.

 moting Agriculture was holden at the Society's

 vited guests proceeded to the Rev. Mr Austin's 

 Church, where the Premiums were announced by 

 the Assistant Recording Secretary. A procession 

 was then formed to the Mansion House Hotel, 

 where a sumptuous dinner was provided, at which

 cattle be not ashamed of their acquaintance.

CAROLINA SWEET POTATOS. 



Mr. Samuel Pond, of Cambridge, has left ar 

 the New England Farmer office four Sweet, or 

 Carolina potatos, weighing four pounds— raised 

 from slips sold at this place. Mr. P. planted one 

 quart of the slips, in eighteen hills, which yielded 

 three and a half bushels of very fine sweet potatos. 

 The hills were raised up on the soil hke large 

 squa.sh hills— the slii>s placed in the top of the 

 hill without any manure, and were not even start- 

 ed in a hot bed. The only care required, is to 

 , keep them free from weeds. The soil should be
