in a tub is preferred to the locust in its native earth. 

 — The sassafras with nearly as much beauty as the 

 locust, has aromatic qualities that make it an article 

 of commerce to distant countries, yet all the atten- 

 tion we bestow upon it is, to cut it down and put 

 some ungraceful stranger in its place. 



The maple may be recommended from motives of 

 patriotism and humanity as well as for its beauty. He 

 that plants it may withdraw a little of the support 

 that upholds slavery; and the sugar of the maple, if 

 less delicate in flavor than that of the cane, is not pur- 

 chased with stripes, or human happiness and life. 



In autumn the mai>le is the first to change the 

 color of its leaves; but it is to the rich hues of the 

 dying dolphin, blended nurple, red, yellow and green, 

 that make it more splendid ni its fall than in its prime.

Last week a brigade of about eighty Germans pass- 

 ed through this place for the ' far West.' — They were 

 from Alsace. They appeared in high spirits, and 

 amused themselves by singing some of their native 

 airs as they travelled onward. They had that depart- 

 ment well filled which usually accompanies a Ger- 

 man housekeeper, as our informant stated, that he 

 counted si.^teen children asleep in one nest, with 

 their faces turned up to the sun. — Phila. paper.

Lewis' Blacking. 



The increased demand for the above article is a suffi- 

 cient criterion of its superiority — it is prepared with oil, 

 and contains nothing injurious to the leather — if not ap- 

 proved of, after a fair trial, it may be returned, and the 

 money will be refunded. T. Lewis is aware that puffing 

 has generally been adopted to bring an article into notice, 

 and however much he may condemn following such a 

 coui-se, he hopes and trusts that by bringing belbre the 

 public, his Liquid and Paste Blacking, and leaving its 

 merits to the same, a fair trial will be given, and if not 

 found equal to any of the best imported, to receive no en- 

 couragement for the sale thereof.

 lustrating the demonstrative courses, are very extensive.

 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 supplied 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

Turnip Seed, ifc. 



For sale at the Seed Store connected with the New 

 England Farmer Office, 52, North Market-street, 



An extensive assortment of Turnip Seeds, of the most 

 valuable sorts foi* family use or stock. The most approv- 

 ed kinds for the farmer, are the White Dutch, White 

 Stone, Yellow Stone and Yellow Malta. The two latter 

 are of uncommon excellence, and keep well. Loudon 

 describes the Yellow Malta as ' an excellent and beauti- 

 ful root,' .and of delicious flavor. Of the sorts for field 

 culture, the While Norfolk, Yellow Aberdeen. White 

 Flat, and Ruta Baga, are the best. The Yellow Aber- 

 deen is most approved among the Farmers of England 

 and Scotland, as it grows to a large size, is very sweet 

 and nutritious, and keeps till June. The above seeds 

 were saved in Europe expressly for this Establishment, 

 and the utmost dependence may be placed on their genu- 

 ine quality.

Brighton Market — Monday, July 12. 



[Reported for the Chronicle and Patiiot.] 



At Markjt this day, 316 Beef Cattle, (including 59 un- 

 sold last week. Unsold at the close of the market, 49 ; 

 about 30 Cows and Calves, 2709 Sheep, 136 Swine. 



Prices — Beef Cattle — Very little varia'ion from last 

 week ; a few extra were taken at $4 84, good at 4 25 a 4 

 75; thinner, 3 50 a 4. 



Cows and Calves — A large number sold. We noticed 

 sales at $.30, 25, 22, 16, 15 and 12. 



Sheep — We noticed a lot of about 100 beauUful Wethers, 

 (sheared)which were taken at about $4 ; another lot of 

 about the same number, at $2 50 ; fair lots of sheep and 

 lambs were sold at $1 25 a 1 7.5. We noHced one lot in 

 in the shape of sheep taken at 75c. How the Farmer or 

 Drover, by driving to market such scape goats, can make 

 a profit we are unable to learn. 



Swine — Sales dull, a few were taken at retail at 5 a 9c. 



Jfool. — The quanfity of Fleece Wool which has come 

 into market during the week, does not exceed 25,000 lbs. 

 all of which has met a ready sale, and we know of no 

 wool of this description in the market row un-old. Man- 

 ufacturers appear disposed to purcb.ue more freely than 

 (hey did, as there is a general imp.ession prevalent that 

 a decided improvement in Wooll-n Goods will take place 

 as soon the season for sales arrit'cs; some lots have already 

 been sold at an advance on '.'le spring prices. There isbut 

 little pulled Woolinmarkr-sand but a very limited quantity 

 of Spanish or Saxony, We understand that a principal 

 part of all the coarse foreign Wools here are held by 

 one house, — Courier.
