 of life. He was removed and is now in the borough of 

 Easton, alive and well. — Gazette. 



The Weevil. The Ballston Spa Gazette in the State 

 of New York, mentions that the weevil lias commenced 

 his destructive operations. On wheat fields of 00 acres, 

 where there was every prospect of an abundant yield- 

 there will not be sufficient to pay the farmer for har- 

 vesting. It is said, that sowing lime on the heads of 

 wheat when the dew is on, will drive the weevil from 

 the field. 



The Edgefield Carolinian of the 27th nit. says, " The 

 wheat crops in this district have been almost totally 

 destroyed by the rust." 



More Gooseberries. On Saturday, Col. Mosely brought 

 in for our inspection, a lot of gooseberries — the stated 

 number nine — which, upon comparison with those, of 

 which we have already spoken, appeared to be a leetlc 

 larger. One of them measured four inches within a 

 hair or two. They grew in the garden of Miss Mary 

 Greenleaf, in Union street. 



By the way, we are obliged to our friends for raising 

 a newspaper paragraph for us in these dull times — a 

 paragraph interesting enough, although it grew on a 

 gooseherr}' bush. Our main object however is to stim- 

 ulate the Horticultural Society. The members of that 

 association have it in their power to 'bring about a new 

 era in gardening here. For our part, we see no manner 

 of reason, why we cannot get up horticultural exhibi- 

 tions here, which shall vie with those in Boston. There 

 is leisure, space and (there should be) spirit and intelli- 

 gence enough to do it. Let us have it done then. —
