 few days since to a load at the door of a citizen in . 

 which in appearance resembled unburnt bricks. Upon in- 

 quiry we found that it v\as an article of fuel, mi 



vicinity of Newton's Corners, a few miles out of the 

 city, from a swampy piece of low land which furni h 

 article much resembling peat. We learn that this mi 

 pcai is thrown into a mill and ground, then pressed in the

In issuing a Prospectus for the Eleventh Volume of the

 to state at length the design and objects of the work, or re- 

 peat former pledges as to its management. Those who read 

 the Farmer are the best judges of its value and character, 

 and can decide whether it is worthy of contint; 

 and those who are unacquainted with it are invited to exam- 

 ine its pages. In popularity and usefulness it now ranks 

 first among the various monthly journals of its class pub- 

 lished in America, and every proper effort will be ma

 promote the individual and collective interests of tin ■ 

 culturists and Horticulturists of the United States. Grateful 

 for the unexampled patronage already extended to the Far-

 and readers tc increase the circulation and thus augment the
