mealy, keeps tlie longest of any." This last, per- 

 haps may be identical with the Black apple of Mr. 

 Nutall, ami the former a near relation. But we 

 find it necessary to postpone to our next some fur- 

 ther remarks on subjects suggested by Mr. Parsons' 

 experiments. 



ITEMS OF INTELLIGENCE. 



A short Passage.— The packet ship Napoleon, Capt- 

 Smith, sailed from New York on the 8th of November, 

 and arrived at Liverpool on the gSth of November, after 

 o run of only sixteen days from dock to dock.— Bait, pa 



Mammoth Hog.— A hog, weighing about 1300 pounds, 

 9 feet long, 7 feet 3 inches in circumference, is adver- 

 tised to be shot for in York County, Penn. 



Large Calf.— A full blooded bull calf of the Durham 

 breed, raised by Samuel Look, in this city, short of 11 

 months old, weighed, a few days since, 775 lbs. by the 

 scales. This is believed to be the largest and best calf 

 ever raised in this section of the State. Who can pro- 

 duce an equal ; — Lancaster Penn. 



ll'inl.'irr. In December, we were scarcely reminded 

 by the temperature of the atmosphere, that we were in 

 the midst of winter Jan. 1st, snow fell sufficient to cov- 

 er the ground, and the weather suddenly became intense- 

 ly cold, and so continued for several days. On the f>th, 

 the thermometer stood at IS below zero, at sunrise. The 

 oldest settlers say they never knew it so cold in Illinois. 

 We have already verged again into open spring ; the 

 sun is as pleasant as in May, and water is running in 

 the streets — III. Intel. 



Coltlrr Still. At Jacksonville, Illinois, according to 

 the Patriot, the cold on the 4th of Jan. was so intense, 

 that the thermometer stood at 26, and on the 5th at 26 

 degrees below zero. 



In the Niagara Courier a notice is given of an intend- 

 ed " general wolf hunt." The arrangements seem to be 

 conducted with true military precision — marshals are 

 appointed, and the line to be pursued by each company, 

 distinctly marked out.
