" CoiniMon river water generally contains a cer- 

 tain portion of tlie constituents of vegetable and 

 animal bodies ; and after rains this portion is great- 

 er than at otlicr times ; it is habitually largest, 

 when the source of the stream is in a cultivated 

 country, 



" In general, those waters which breed the best 

 fish are the best fitted for watering meadows ; but 

 most of the benefits of irrigation may be derived 

 from any kind of water, provided the soil be not 

 already over charged with the prevailing ingredi- 

 ents in the deposit left by the water ; and provided, 

 on the other hand, that the matter of the soil 

 «nd the matter of the deposit are not pernicious 

 when combined. These are the general princi- 

 ples : — 1. That waters containing ferruginous im- 

 pregnations [particles of iron] tend to fertilize a 

 ■calcareous soil. 2. Ferruginous waters are in- 

 jurious on a soil which does not effervesce with 

 acids, which is one of the tests of the presence of 

 lime. 3. Calcareous waters which are known by 

 the earthy deposit they aftbrd when boiled, are of 

 most use on siliceous (sandy) soils, or other soils 

 containing no considerable portion of carbonate of 

 lime."

 Numidian Arabs. The Aga, (or General) Ehiea, who com- 

 manded the Dey's Janissaries (or troops) returned to Algiers 

 ill the spring of 1824, having conquered the Arabs and brought 

 with him as booty a number of their best horses, of which Nu- 

 midiaii was one, a four year old colt at the time. He was ob- 

 tained of the Aga by Mr. Shaler, then Consul in Algiers. He 

 arrived in this country in December, 1826. 



He is said to be a sure foal getter and the colts are consid- 

 ered very valuable. They are five years old and under. 

 .Since 1827 he has stood for m'ares at Mount Holly, Burlington 

 CO. N, J.

BRIGHTON MARKET.— Monday, JUNE 3, 1833. 

 Reported for the Daily AdTertiaer and Patriot. 



At Market this day 370 Beef Cattle, (including about 38 uo- 

 sold last week) 9 pairs Working Oxen, 10 Cows and Calves, 

 232 Sheep and Lambs, and 50 Swine (including small Pigs) 78 

 Beef Cattle unsold ; 84 Beef Cattle were left within a few miles 

 of the market, making 164 in all unsold at the market, and with- 

 in a few hours drive. 100 were from Ohio, and 100 from Skan- 

 eateles, N. Y. fed by H. Earll & Co. all of which were very 

 line, and far surpassed for richness (particularly those from 

 N. Y.) any lot we have seen from the ' Connecticut Valley' for 

 many years. 



Prices. Beef Cattle.— Sales were very slow, and prices 

 very unequal— the Cattle being uncommonly fine our report 

 may appear higher than it really is in comparison with last week. 

 We noticed a single yoke taken at gl, and a few at ^6,76. 

 We quote prime at SG,I5a6,67: good at S5,75 a 6; thin at 

 05 a 3.30. 



Working 0.r«i.— Sales at gil, g35, ^62. and $70. 



Cows ami Calves. — We noticed sales at 24, 27, and ,J30. 



Sheep. — We noticed a lot of Wethers, not sheared, taken 

 at g3 ; a lot part of which were lambs, at S2.75. 



NOTICE. 



For sale at the Agricultural Warehouse, a few of VVilkioson't 

 improved Bent patent Sheep shears, to prevent cutting the skin, 

 a very great improvement, in the article. May 89
