former in size, but lacks more in weight, -from the 

 want of equal hardness ; and a third, very nearly 

 ihe compass of the last, makes up a formidable 

 triumvirate. The second, are a number of heads 

 of Broccoli, a species of cabbage much resembling 

 Ihe cauliflower, of unusual dimensions. Tiie third, 

 are several heads of lettuce, grown from seed 

 planted in August, and plucked yesterday. They 

 are very handsome. These were all grown by 

 Mr. William Wilson. From the same garden were 

 also produced a splendid bouquet of roses and 

 honey suckles, of delicious redolence. They were 

 out yesterday, off bushes and vines standing in 

 the open air. This we believe to be rare, at the 

 present season. The la.st of the catalogue, but 

 not le.ist, is a bunch of carrots, each root being 

 about 16 inches in length, and 10 in circumfer- 

 ence, at the larffo end ! Doting philosophers in

 ofthe bosl kind for sale by subscription, offers to the public setts 

 of a dozen vines^ 'vith good rools of the most select and choice 

 grapes tor the table; iiaany of which are quite new in this 

 country, and all of which will ripen perfectly in any situation 

 either in town or country.

 United tS'ates. 



Mr Alphonso [.oubat, having considerably enlarged his Vine- 

 yard, on Long Islami, where he now has, in full cullivalion, 

 thirty-five acres of ground, containing 72,000 Grape Vine 

 Roots; having also the peculiar advantage of being enabled to 

 procure the best sijecimens of rooLs from his fatlier s extensive 

 vineyards and nurseries, in tiie districts of Bordclais, Cierac, 

 and Buzet, departments of Gironde and Lot and Garonne, in 

 France, (45° N. Lai.) propo'ies to the numerous friends (o the 

 cultivation of the grape vine in the United States, a subscrip- 

 tion will be opened on the first of August, 18*8. 



IMr A. L. will engage to furnish subscribers with the Grape 

 Vine Roots, before tlie first of March ne.xt, aud forward them 

 free of expense, to the different cities where subscription lists 

 shall have been op-inetl. The roots will be three j-ears old, and 

 ^■ill produce considerable fruit the second year /t-om the time ot' 

 their being planted. 7'hey will be care.'ully cla-^ped and packed 

 in boxes, with some ofthe original soil in which they have been 

 raised, which will greatly lucililate the ibriving of the roots, 

 when transpiantc<i.

The secret of rendering docile, and handling 

 with impunity the most venomous serpents, which 

 lias so long been in possession of the inhabitants 

 of Western India, is not unknown in China. It 

 is observed that snake-catchers here rub their 

 hands, previously to taking hold of the snake, with 

 an antidote composed of pounded herbs. The vir- 

 tue ofthe preparation is such that they hold with 

 the naked hand,'and provoke, jfearlessly, the dead- 

 ly cobradi-capello, or spectacle viper, which is, 

 ne.xt to the rattlesnake of America, one of the 

 most dangerous reptiles in existence Canton Reg. 



Worcester coal. — This article is likely to prove 

 more valuable than was anticipated. The Spy 

 asserts that "Capt. Tliomas has fitted up a stove 

 for burning it in his bar room, where, for about a 

 week past he has not used a particle of any other 

 fuel, and has had as handsome and as good a fire 

 as we ever witnessed of either the Lehigh or the 

 Schuylkill coal."
