substance. In the latter operation diamond dust 

 is iixed on a metal wire that is moved ra))idly 

 backwards and forwards over the stone to be cut. 

 You are probably aware of the distinction between 

 ji rose diamond and a brilliant. The one is entire 

 and set vertically, the other is divided and set 

 horizontally. The largest diamonds are reserved 

 for roses, which always rise iii the centre to an 

 angle ; the smidler are used as brilliants, and have 

 a flat octagon on the upper surface. 



Fro?n the Genesee Farmer, 

 NEWTON PIPPIN APPLE. 



Irf the mouth of November, 1831, we made a 

 visit to Mrs. Col. Moore, at Newton, on Long 

 Island, solely on purpose to ascertain the origin 

 of this celebrated fruit. From the information 

 we then received, we cousidei-ed the original tree 

 was iu that lady's orchard, but in a very interest 

 iug conversation with the venerable Wm. Prince, 

 Esq., of the Botanic Gardens, at Flushing, Long 

 Island, a few weeks ago, we found we were mis 

 taken. The tree at Mrs. ftlooRE's being only a 

 sucker from the original tree, three of which were 

 taken from it, but the destination of the other 

 two we have not been able to ascertain. We 

 consider this exjilanation absolutely necessary hav- 

 ing published iu Loudon's Gardener's Magazine, 

 iu Loudon, that the real original tree was not in 

 Mrs. Moore's orchard. We thank Mr. Prince for 

 givhig us correct mforixiation on this subject, as 

 well as on several others connected with fruit: 

 which wi^ shall advert to at a future period.

BLACK CURRANT WINE. 



JUST received, at GEORGE C. BARRETT'S SEED 

 STORE, Nos. 51 &. 52 North Market Street, Boston— 



A supply of superior old Black Currant Wine. — An 

 accoiuU ot its astringent and detergent properties in various 

 complaints, will be found in the N. E. Farmer, vol. 5, page 2G7, 

 written by S. W. Pomeroy,Esq. and the late Doct. J. G. Coffin. 

 It is highly salutary in many summer complaints. Doct. Coffin 

 states : ' Its use has been attended with remarkable success in 

 ihc early stages of cholera morbus and dysentery — and again 

 also in the later stages of these diseases, after the symptoms of 

 intlammatiou or febrile excitement had ceased. It has been strik- 

 ingly remedial in the low states of typhoid and bilious fever. 

 The late Capt. Gilchrist, who for several years followed theBa- 

 tavia trade, and who had always suflered an attack of the severe 

 cholera which proves so destructive of human life in that cli- 

 mate, used to say that after he had this wine with him, and took 

 two glasses of it every morning, he escaped the disease. On 

 one voyage, his mate, who had not taken the wine, was seized 

 with this complaint, when a bottle or two stopped its progress. 

 Wc have not room to enumerate many other ;norbid afTections 

 in which this wine has proved useful. In sore throat it has for 

 many years been considered almost a specific remedy.' — Price 

 75 cents per bottle. dec 6
