 ami observes that, "Though there are ex- 

 ons to the rule, yet, in general, it inay be con- 

 tly asserted that iiidesi where a soil has by 

 e enough of calcareous matter in its compo- 

 ■ the purposes of vegetation, it can nei- 

 he brouglit into the most fertile state, nor 

 jther manures be so useful as they ought if 

 or some other calcareous earth be not pre- 

 ly api)lied. The utility of lirne to tmiiips is 

 eat, that though in the same field where no 

 hud been applied, the crop died away ; yet in 

 rned part, the turnips flourished with unaba- 

 igor."

Brighto.n Market. — Monday, Feb. 8. 



(Reported for the Chronicle and Patriot.) 

 market this day, 346 Beef Cattle, 72 Stores, 

 Sheep and 160 Swine — divided as follows: 

 market, 101 Beef Cattle, 9 Stores, and 327 

 i; lower marief, 245 Beef Cattle, 63 Stores, 

 ding 52 unsold last week) 222 Sheep, and 

 wine, 

 le market for Beef Cattle continues brisk and 

 and prices gradtially advance. Those at 

 et today were generally very good. We no- 

 sales of a very few choice pairs at $5 17 a 

 5 per cwt. Those we usually denominate 

 eadily commanil $5 — otlier qualities from $4 

 Ij, which are at all times by far the greatest 

 jrtioii. Store Cattle go off rather heavily. 

 ich Cows — But few at market — no sales no- 

 The inclemency of the weather prevented 

 od deal of business that is usually done on 

 et days. 



eep — The market today was not so bounti- 

 supplied with sheep as we sometimes notice, 

 e quality of those at nii.rket was unccmmon- 

 od, and the prices will not suffer by compari- 

 kith those of any preceding day this season, 

 be seen by the following transactions, — 

 ossets for $97; 8 do for $52; 12 do fjr 

 11 do i;)r 52, and 2 do for $9—1 lot, 116 

 lers, S3| each ; 1 do 100, $33 ; 1 do 44, at 

 1 do 42, at $3 ; 1 do 143, $2 ; 1 do 42, 

 nd one do 21, at $1 67. 



dne — Those mentioned above are the same 

 iported last week. Sales go off rather hea- 

 -we half incline to the opinion they came 

 h invoiced.
