At lluntsvilie, in Alabama, there lias been exper dic- 

 ed a more severe frost, and greater damages have been 

 done by it, than has ever before been known in the 

 country. The whole of North Alabama has been affec- 

 ted by it, and it is feared that the entire cotton country 

 has sustained serious injury. — Ibid. 



A JVeto Continent. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce 

 has an extract from the Hobart's-town pupcr, giving an 

 account ot the discovery of a large body of land, some- 

 where to the southward of the Cape of Good Hope, the 

 particular of which have, they say long been a desider- 

 atum. Such of our readers as may wish a full account 

 of the Voyage of Discovery, during which this land 

 was first seen, taken from the " Log book of the brig 

 Juba, commanded by Mr. John Briscoe, R. N." may 

 find it in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Socie- 

 ty ol London, vol. the third, 1^33. first pait. 



Colony of Pigeons. A Susquehannah, (Pa.) Co. pa- 

 per mentions that immense numbers of Pigeons have ta- 

 ken possession of, and appropriated to their use, a terri- 

 tory said to be nine miles in length, and two miles in 

 width ; every foot of which, and almost every tree and 

 branch of a tiee upon it, are constantly occupied liv 

 them. It is presumable that the beech woods are indebt- 

 ed far this pigeon v sit, to the abundant crop of beech 

 nuts produced the last season ; by which they are abun- 

 dantly supplied witli food.

[From the Afeto England Magazine of Jam ls(, 1834.] 

 All men love a (arm and a garden, and Mr. Fessenden is 

 belter qualified than any oitn-r mail in Mew-England to com 

 pose a ijood work on these praci cal subjects— albeit he was in 

 his youth addicted to the less profitable pursuits of wit and 

 poetry. Tins work should lie on l he shell of every fanners 

 library : th<re is much in it to gai le him and nothing lo lead 

 him astray. Ail is practical, nothing is speculative. It em- 

 braces the entire transactions-ofa farm. The manuals for the 

 work mu. t have been collected through many vears. Excel- 

 lence is comparative— an I any traveller in England m ly then 

 best notice ihe defects of American husbandry. Still, however 

 it is with e. union ibat in our sol and climate' we should adopt 

 the English mod.', of cultivation. 



The .oils are first ireveil of, then irrasses, grain, rattle, ani 



ma's, dairy, manures, harvesting, poultrv, implements, &c. Sit.. 



Those who would have a choice of implements may choose 



amon S mauy al Ihe New-England Agricultural Ware! .,■ 



Here is every facility for snvmj lahor and increasing crops; 

 and the implements that are useful — it any snrh lliere he- 

 are studies ot ingeiiu ly. All are made in the best manner, .me 

 iln-y arc in some sort an illustration of Mr. Fesseudens book 

 many being neatly delineated in ii.
