It is capable likewise of being employed in many cook- 

 ing operations to great advantage. It will, for example, 

 boil eggs or potatoes with great ease and in a most ex- 

 cellent manner. 



Cholera. By the last accounts we learn that malig- 

 nant Cholera is very destructive in the Western States. 

 It is very prevalent in Kentucky, and extending over 

 Ohio. A letter from New Orleans, dated the Ctlf inst. 

 observes, " It is fully as fatal as it was last fall. Persons 

 after they are attacked, do not live generally more than 

 eight hours, and some die in two. Judge Lewis died on 

 Tuesday. Yesterday, John Hagar & Co. lost two clerks ; 

 one died in four hours after he was attacked, and the 

 other in two hours. I saw the last one after I went to 

 breakfast, and spoke with him, and when I went to din- 

 ner I heard of his death. There were 100 burials yes- 

 terday. The Creoles are dying very fast. Truly these 

 are fearful times." A letter dated the 7th inst. says, 

 " Business is at a stand. We see the hearse going every 

 hour of the day, and half the time not a living soul fol- 

 lowing it. The Cholera is as bad as it was last fall, and 

 much more malignant and fatal. I understand that there 

 have been ISO interments within the last 24 hours, in 

 the dift'erent burying grounds." 



Presidential Tour. It would require the whole of our 

 room, and more or less of infinite space to boot, to give 

 intelligible sketches of the President's progiess, and the 

 multifarious proceedings consequent thereupon. AVe 

 must, therefore, beg leave to omit such details, whicli. 

 moreover, are already in possession of most of our readers. 

 The President is at present indisposed, owing to too 

 great exertions and enduring in open air the changes of 

 our versatile climate. His bare headed exposure to our 

 drizzling atmosphere, and pitiless east wind, might well 

 nullify the constitution of even old Ironsides; and if we 

 intend our Chief Magistrate should realize the hope^ of 

 his well wishers, we must not oppress him with too much 

 ceremony, nor insist on his being alwai/s before the pub- 

 lic.

SUPERB DOUBLE I>AHI,I.\S. 



The subscribers have now leady fbrclclivery (in pofs) several 

 hundred of the finest varieties of t)alilias that are cultivated in 

 England. They oflfer none but what they flowered themselves 

 last season, and which at the Horticultural as well as their own 

 private exhibition, attracted so much notice. The price is ^10 

 per dozen, or ^5 fbr six ; each of which is a named variety. A 

 descriptive list of their color and height, with a printed treatise 

 on their management, will be furnished to every purchaser, in 

 order that they may be so arranged in the garden that the 

 Dwarfs will not he hid by the taller varieties. 



They are all genuine sorts from the stock root, and not en- 

 grafted on the tubers of common Dahlias, as is sometimes done, 

 and whicli is a very deceptive mode. The following are a few 

 of the fine sorts: — Hall's Mogul, purple. French white, Squibbs' 

 pure yellow, Lady Grenvillc, pink ; Well's Triump Royal, 

 ruby pink ; Radiaia, large red ; Lord Lyndhurst, fine orange ; 

 Beauty of Hertford, crinison ; Mountain of Snow, white ; Coc- 

 cinea Speclosissiina, scarlet ; Involute Purpurea, curious dark 

 purple; Stephenia, dark maroon; Eminent, dark purple; 

 Grandeur Superbe, fine crimson; Dennisii, ruby purple; Fos- 

 ter's Constantia, carmine red ; Colvell's Perfecta, shaded pur- 

 ple ; Beauty of Cheshunf, scarlet ; Pulla, dark maroon ; Don- 

 na Maria, scarlet ; Barrett's Susannah, exquisite purple ; Rom- 

 ulus, glittering scarlet ; Rose excelleiitc. pink ; Plants Purpu- 

 rea Perfecta, fine purple; Auianiia Supcrba, fine orange: 

 Vulcan, very dark purple ; Moss Pelham, Lilac, &c. &c. 

 They can be packed with safety for any journey not exceed- 

 a week. Orders from a distance, enclosing the amount, 

 be promptly attended to, without charge for packing, and 

 hen the selection is left to us, we will send such as will form a 

 easing combination of color and height, which is from 3 to 7 

 ;t. 



Within the last three years,. the Double Dahlia has attracted 

 attention in England, France, Holland, anti our own 

 untry, (to the fine autumns of which it is well adapted.) than 

 ther flower, for the last century. The easy mode of cul- 

 tire " — the majestic beauty of their growth — the great variety 

 irivalled splendor of their flowers at a season of the yea.i 



J 'hen such beautiful objects are most required — together with 

 le circumstance of their succeeding nearly as well in the close 

 air of cities as the free air of the country, renders them most 

 desirable. 



The roots are easily preserved over winter which, in the 

 spring can be divided, every division of which will flower 

 freely the same season. 



Some collections in Europe extend to five hundred sorts — but 

 all those most worthy of notice have been introduced, within 

 the last t\\o years, and which can be cmidensed into a hundred 

 and fifty varieties (at which limit we keep our collection) — have 

 been particular to throw out all dull colored or imperfect formed 

 flowers — as a proper selection is preferable to a lab}Tinth of 

 names which only tends to puzzle those who sit down to make 

 choice of a few sorts. 



Also, a choice collection of Chinese Chrysanthemums, now 

 injseason for transplanting into the garden, or for potting.

 siiia) and Mexican Tiger Flowers, still on hand and in season
