 A Ferris, of the above city, from the mountain r^tgions sf 

 South America, having been conveyed thence by ninle, "seven 

 days' journey"' to Guayaquil, where this gentleman resided three 

 years, and made himself acquainted with ihe fact that this Collon 

 tlirives. and is cullivated on the elevated lands of the Andes, of 

 which it is a native. His object was to introduce il into our 

 Northern and We-lern States, believing if it would gland their 

 climate (and where it i:ow grows il Ik frequently covered with 

 8now and ice) il would prove a »t)urce of great interesi and profit 

 to the people of thi>se States.
