commonly good ; potatoes very fine, and no doubt plen- 

 ty of them. Indian corn is not ripe, and may be cut

 was a little frost in some places last week.— Kennebec

The annual meeting of the Strafford N. H. Agricultu- 

 ral Society and Cattle Show, will be liolden at the Iron

 mestic articles, at 12 o'clock noon — 2d day ploughing 

 match and Address. 



Wheat. Seldom have we had such a bountiful crop of 

 wheat from the amount sown, as has been harvested this 

 season. The only thing to regret is, that more had not 

 been sown in the Spring, for the crop of Indian corn 

 will be very light, and there will probably be a greater 

 demand for wheat than can be supplied from our own 

 harvest. — Maine Farmer. 



The Fifth Annual Exhibition of the Pennstjl ran i a Hor-

Mr. Audubon, the celebrated naturalist, has recently 

 returned from li is Northeastern excursion to Labrador, 

 &c. A narrative of his adventures, discoveries, and sci- 

 entific acquisitions, has been published in the Boston 

 Daily Advertiser. 



Petrifactions. Petrified cars of corn impregnated 

 with silver, copper and other metals, have been found on 

 heights where they do not grow. The trunk of a petri- 

 fied tree has been found upon Mount Stella, in the coun- 

 try of the Grisons, at 4000 feet above the height where 

 the shrubs grow. In Spain, near the tower of Munda, 

 at an elevation of 1500 feet above the sea, there exists 

 entire beds of petrified wood. The impressions of plants 

 found in Europe generally are those belonging to tropi- 

 cal climates of India and America. The strata in the en- 

 virons of Paris have furnished sixty genera of fossil ani- 

 mals. At Rotewick, in Sweden, 3000 feet above the 

 aea, entire beds of fossil shells are found ; also upon the 

 summit of Mount Perdu 10,578 feet higli, and the tops of 

 the Andes 13,300 feet high, are covered with petrified 

 oyster shells. Such are some of the facts showino- that 

 our globe has undergone great revolutions."

PATENT GRATER CIDER MILL. 



DANIEL LELAND having purchased the patent of the 

 above named Mills, would call the attention of Farmers and 

 others in this vicinity, to the undersigned certificates of their 

 merits, and teels confident that they are superior to any other 

 in use, for grinding apples. 



These Mills are drawn by one horse. Six, eight, ten, and 

 twelve feet wheels are used, some with one and some two 

 drums. They'may be placed in a building, and so fixed as to 

 grind upon the press, or into a trough. The following certifi- 

 cates will probably give the public some proof of their value. 



" Tim may certify that we the subscribers have made use of 

 Joel Fa mum's Patent Grater Cider Mill, for three years past. 

 We gnnd a cheese of cider in one quarter of the '.ime we did 

 in the old mill ; it grinds belter, makes more and better cider ; 

 we grind upon the press, and save the shoveling of the pumice, 

 and the juice may be extracted in less time. 



JOHN CLARK, 2d. 



Medway, August 8, 1833. JAMES P. CLARK. 



" This may certify that we the subscribers, have used the 

 above named machine for three years last past, and approve of 

 the plan of grinding apples. We save one third part of labour 

 and time in grinding and laying up a cheese of cider. It grinds 

 belter than the old mills geneially do, the cider is clearer and 

 contains less sediment ; the cider is pressed out in less time, 

 and the mills are kept in repair at less expense than the old 

 mills. AARON LELAND. 



Sherburne, Aug. 9, 1833. JOSEPH P. LELAND. 



'■This may certify, that 1 have assisted in the making of ci- 

 der in the above named mills, and consider it a valuable im- 

 provement in the making of cider. At one lime we ground and 

 laid up, apples sufficient for eight barrels of cider, in forty 

 minutes, by the watch. We save one half of the lime, in 

 grinding and laying up (he cheese.

 Warehouse, where Mills, are on hand, or will be furnished at
