SEASON NF.AR ALBANY. 



act of a leller from Judge Buel, of Albany, lo a genllc- 

 ,n ia Ihis vicinily.] 



Tlie past winter has been dreadful to our 

 ries, iilums, and pears. We probably lost five 

 isand trees in our nursery alone. The peach 

 plum blossomed poorly, and the fruit, as well 

 lat of the cherry and pear, have been almost 

 lly destroyed by the insects and frost. Our 

 les look well, though not forward, and there 

 3t no appearance of mildew, though the vine- 

 er has attacked them for the first time. We 

 had great success in propagating the fine 

 ' s. The Beurre Capiaumont pear is in bearing, 

 all send you a tree of the Dutchess of Olden- 

 h Apple, this fall, that the scions may be dis- 

 ited among our Boston friends. This apple is 

 bearing among us, and is esteemed as an un- 

 monly fine summer fruit. Both the above 

 i are from our nursery. 



I am extremely gratified to sec the progress 

 is making in the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 ety ; and particularly the appointment of the 

 intelligent committee to correspond, and set- 

 nomenclature of our esteemed fruits. I 

 uise every thing in my power to render their 

 rs useful." 



lNNERS exempt from CONSUMP- 

 TION. 



Your tanner will last for nine years,' exclaims 

 grave digger, in Hamlet, and if we are to jjut 

 : in the following theory reported in the Lan- 

 I j lis occupation is as favorable to the body of 

 tanner before as after death. At a meeting 

 le Westminster Medical Society, held on the 

 1 ult. Dr Dodd read a paper on the exemption 

 inners from phthisis pulmonalis, and the effica- 

 f the aroma of oak bark in the cure of that 

 plaint. The following circumstance had first 

 »n his attention to the subject : he had a pa- 

 :, a weaver, twenty-five years of age, who was 

 iring under all the symptoms of phthisis pul- 

 alis ; symptoms which were so marked that 

 inly thought of mitigating them, not curing 

 jomplaint. He treated him accordingly. But 

 le end of three weeks the man suddenly quit- 

 liis residence, and went he knew not where, 

 jlve months after he met with him again, and 

 found he had become a tanner, because as 

 man said, " tanners were never afflicted with 

 onsumption." To the truth of this, the man's 

 iarance bore considerable testimony : for in- 

 1 of being a consumptive patient, he was then 

 ong, stout, healthy mati.
