Fine Cherries. — We have been pre9ented by Mr 

 ■J. S. Bennett, of Framingham, with a box of 

 harming Cherries, with a request that we would 

 inform him where scions of a belter kind can be 

 irocured.' We are much obliged to Mr Bennett 

 "or his very acceptable present, and assure him that 

 ve have seen nothing of the kind, which, for appear- 

 nce and flavor, surpassed tha fruit he has so kindly 

 ent us. 



Bidtiniorc Rail Road. — The carriages are now 

 u lining on 13 miles of this road. The Pioneer 

 oach lias sometimes carried .34 at once. The pro- 

 rietors are now making $1000 per week, 600 

 f which is clear profit. The route of 13 miles 

 as been travelled over in 70 minutes. 



The following was received after our first p;ige was 



linted : 



CANKER WORiMS. 

 Mr Fkssenden — After my com.iuinication was 

 nl to yon, I thought of an expedient, which will 



rotect my canal, from the rain which passes down 

 e trunk of the tree. Tack the pipe to the tree 



II inch htlow the upper ertge. Then draw that 

 irtof it which is above the nails gently and uni- 



irmly a little forward. This will iiiake a circu- 

 utter above the canal. Pass a large knitting 

 iedle or some similar instrument, down between 

 e lead and the bark, in several places round the 

 ee. These aperturi-s will be large enough to let 

 It the rain and too small to let in the slug.

 prime We'hers) .56 Swine. 



Prices — Beef Cattle — A great ' glut' being at market a 

 reduction in price is the natural consequence, which was 

 the case this day. Prices however were ve.y cneven,

 very few were taken at $5 25 estra at about $5 ; t,oo 1 at 

 $4 75 a 5 ; thinner at $4 a 4 50. 



Cows and Calves — Few sales only, probably in conse- 

 quence of the weather — no prices noticed. 



Working Oren — No sales. 



Sheep and Lambs — One or two lots were taken at $3 50, 

 one at 2 50, an 1 one at 2 25; Larabs fro^n 1 25 to 2 50. — 

 Many lots vverj sold, but prices not n^iticed 



Swine — A few were tiken at retail, at 5 a 55 c(s ; one 

 lot of 25 were taken, pi ice not no'iced. 



It will be perceived by the above statement tint there 

 are at market unsold about Cattle enough to supply next 

 week.
