Tlie prospect for hay and grain is generally good, 

 'orn has been much injured by tlie worms. Fruit 

 ill be abundant. A singular circumstance has 

 estroyed the currants — swarms of little bugs or 

 ce have overrun the bushes, and the currants are 

 II perishing before they have time to ripen. 

 rardenei'S are unable to recollect any thing of the 

 ind heretoCore. — Hallowell, Me. Advocate. 



.American Silk. — We learn from the Fayetteville, 

 f. C. Observer, that James Smith. Esq. of Bla- 

 en county, will have at least one hundred pounds 

 f sewing silk, besides a cpiantity of floss, worth 

 bout $700, the product of 200,000 worms, this 

 iason, attended by a few small negro children. 

 iCt this be an encouragement to others, to engage 

 1 this profitable business. — American Farmer. 



There are ninety esiablishmcMits in France, for 

 le manuficture of Sugar from the beet root, 

 'hich produce more than two million pounds of 

 ugar annually. 



Do^ and hen power. — We learn from the Berk- 

 lire American that a Factory is being erected in 

 'orth Adams to be propelled by Dogs! Should 

 ur Adams friends lack sufficient power they can 

 e alumilantly supplied by coming to this village. 

 • ur garden has been carried hy dog anA hen pow- 

 r between three and four years, and its revolu- 

 iiiiN have been nearly as rapid as could be desired 

 ir tlie wheels of a Factory. — JVilliamstoion Adv. 



John M. Harper, Esq. has made a report to the 

 .(■^rislature of New Hampshire, on the cidture of 

 Ik, and 1000 copies were ordered to be printed. 



We are informed that the Association for the 

 lescrvation of Orchards, Gardens, &c. has been 

 er V successful during the past year, in effecting 

 le objects of its organization. The pillage of 

 ml trees by mischievous boys, that frequent pre- 

 i(l< to a life of crime, has been materially check- 

 I ; and there is reason to hope it may eventually 

 entirely prevented. — Salem Gazette. 



.\friking Yellow Butler. — In Scotland, we are 

 )lcl. the dairy women give a fine color and flavor 

 1 tliiir butter, by grating some orange carrots, the 

 liii' of which, after being strained, is mixed with 

 le cream previous to churning. The quantity of 

 irrni juice necessary for this has not been pre- 

 ■rilicd, so far as our observation extends, but the 

 nk'incnt of the manufacturer cannot fail to sug- 

 1^1 very nearly the quantity necessary to give the 

 Liurr a proper color. Whilo cows have fresh 

 ■I'd in the spring, probably, their butter would not 

 r; much, if any degree im[)roved by the addition 

 f carrot juice. — But when grass becomes short 

 r the dairy stock is fed on hay, carrot juice may 

 roiluce a good effect. 



It is said that there are in Hungary, seven millions 

 f sheep, of which three millions belong to Prince 



Istcrhazy.

Medical School in Boston. 



The Courses of Lectures begin annually on the third 

 Wednesday in October, an I are continued daily for three 

 months, opjthe following subjects : — 



Anatomy'and Surgery, by John C. Warren, M. D. ' 



Cheniistrv, by John W. Webster, M. D. 



Materia Medica, bv Jacob Bigelow, M. D. 



Midwifery, and Medical Jurisprudence, by Walter 

 Channing, M. D. 



Theory pnd Practiceof Physic, by James Jackson, M.D. 



The apparatus and collections of specimens used in il- 

 histratins: the demonstrative courses, are very extensive. 

 The fees for all the courses amount to $176. Board is 

 obtained for about ^3 per week. 



This institution now offers greater advantages for the 

 acquirement of a thorough Medical education, than it has 

 done at any former period of its history. During the last 

 two years the means of obtaining practical knowledge of 

 the anatomical structure of the human body have been 

 amply s\ipplied to pupils, probably at a less expense than 

 in any other of the schools in the United States. The 

 opportunity of witnessing numerous important and capi- 

 tal operations in surgery, and of attending the clinical 

 practice of one of the best regulated hospitals in this 

 country, are gratuitously afforded to all who attend the 

 lectures of the professors. 5t June IS.

Brighto.n Market — Monday, June 28. 



[Reported for tho Chronicle and Patiiot.] 



At Mark;t this day, 430 Beef Cattle, including 150 un. 

 sold last week. Unsold at the close of the market, 200 

 viz : — 35 Cows and Calves, a few pairs of Working Ox- 

 en, about 30 Stores, 995 Sheep and Lambs, 143 Swine. 



Prices— Beef CafWf— Extra, $4 75 a 5, good, 4 50 a 

 4 75, thinner, 3 75 a 4 25. 



Cows and Calves— ¥ mm $14 to 30 — about 25 sold. 



Working Oxeii— No sales noticed. 



Sheep and Lambs — $1 25 a 3. 



Stores — Sales dull— none noticed. 



Swine— Lots of 2lf td 50 at 4 a 5c. ; at retail, 44 a 5J. 



The market to-day v/as not quite so spirited as last Mon- 

 day, although about the- same number of Cattle were ta- 

 ken, and about the same number also remain unsold. The 

 great • glut' of Cattle at market appears to have been in 

 consequence of large numbers of beautiful Cattle at New 

 York market from Ohio, causing several drovers destined 

 for that market, to shape their course for Brighton. There 

 are .several droves stopped, which could have been brought 

 to market if wanted. There are also some of the Cattle 

 unsold, which will be driven from this to some other mar- 

 ket. 



Wool. — There is an active demand for almost every 

 description of Wools. Extensive sales of- Fleeces have 

 been made during the week, and our market is now near- 

 ly destitute of this article. An entire lot from the flock 

 of W. R. Dickinson, Stubenville, Ohio, has been sold at 

 75c. ; it has been pronounced by the several manufactur- 

 ers who have examined it, to be the finest lot, of its size, 

 ever offered in this market. Pulled Wool is scarce, and 

 there is no Spanish in first hands. We understand that 

 orders for Foreign Wool have been sent to London during 

 the week. — Cour.
