NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



■ks. This l"ac(, consiiU-red in addition to her bcau- 

 liiriu must place her hi»h in the estimation ol' 



d judges of Neat Cattle. It proves her to have 



n one ol' those animals which possess a great apti- 

 to fatten, a quality held in hijli esliinatiou by 



icious and calculating graziers. 



'allle Slioips are pouring in upon us from various 

 rtcrs in such abundance that we apprehend a scar- 

 of room in our columns, \^'e fear we shall not be 



within a pretty protracted period to give place to 

 official accounts of all these exhiliitions, or to pub- 

 uiany before they get to be old nffnirs. They will 



of course not be adapted to the curiosity of some 

 iers, who are always all agog for novelty, and can 

 cely endure a terrible earthquake, or a shocking 

 der, which is more than a week old, although they 

 very fond of such articles when fresh from the 

 We shall, however, proceed, as fast as possible 

 ut full accounts of each Husbandman's Holiday on 

 rd, that the agricultural Ladies and Gentlc- 

 who do us the honor, to take the New 

 land Farmer, may compare the exhibitions of 

 present year with those of the last and future 

 We must therefore beg Messrs. A. B. and 

 1 to the end of the alphabet, to have patience 



we will ti.Il them all — unless we omit a part by 



■rtence. Should such omission happen we will 



inch obliged to any of our friends who will forward 



the omitted statement, and it shall appear as soon 

 e can possibly find room for it. 



FOREIGN. 



le la=t advices from the seat of war in Europe are 

 ter than about the first of September. It appears 

 il llial time preparations were luakiug not only 

 c 'i.iniliardnint of Cadiz, but for a dtscent on the 

 i: l.ion of a large and select body of troops, in- 

 ng the royal guards, to be supported by a power- 

 aval force. Events of much interest appear to be 

 ^aching in that quarter of Spain. The french 



soon accomplish tli;ir objects, or return home, 

 le Spaniards will let them) and digest their disap- 

 .meut as they can. A winter residence in Spain, 



inhabitants continue hostile, would be very un- 

 ortable, and somewhat dangerous for the French 

 It is true that the climate is not so " frightful" 

 it of Russia, but the country must by this time be 

 y well exhausted of provisions, and cold lodgings, 

 y stomachs and a bad cause will be apt to quel! 

 rdor of the most fiery spirits that ever shouldered 

 sket, or charged with a bayonet. 



If Greeks. — An article dated Zante, July 16th, 

 3 that the Creeks had gained an important victo- 

 er the Turks near Megara. " After two hours 

 fi^btinr the Turks were rtpnla-rd, and sought 

 safety in Uight, leaving behind them 2000 killed 

 300 prisoners ; their wounded amounted to 3000." 

 whnle of the Turkish artillery, ammunition, pi-o- 

 3s, &c. fell into the hands of the conquerors. 



Walter Scott, says an English paper, is fitting up 

 Dus'j at Abbotsford with gas light. The bells are 

 by the pr.-ssure of air through a brass tube, in 

 : of wire now in use. 



Ursbur^h. June 30. — A sad accident happened to 

 ronarch, during his journey to \A"arsaw. Hh Maj- 

 it is well known, is accustomed to travel in a 

 I manner. WHiile passing a bridge near the city 

 ■rchaws, the bridge broke through, and His Majes- 

 -arriage fell into the river. The horses alarmed, 

 deavoring to release themselves from the carriage, 

 urned it, and the Emperor seated in his open cal- 

 , received so severe a blow on the back of the head 

 lost much blood from the wound and fainted, 

 inately the city of Porc'haws was not far off ; the 

 .^ror was carried there, and visited by the best sur- 

 s of the city, who pronounced that the wound 

 d not be followed by serious consequences. The 



Emperor ordered into bis presence the two iuspeclors 

 general of the roads, and having repioached them 

 with their carelessness, banished them to Sibtiia. 



DOMF.STIC. 



Tobacco. — Some accounts from the South inform that 

 Tobacco, to the amount of one half the crop, hav been 

 destroyed by a frost on the 29th of September. But 

 the Petersburg, (Virginia) Intelligencer, of the 10th 

 inst. states that in that section of the country, and 

 all south of it, there is reason to believe the dam- 

 age sustained by the tobacco crops is comparatively 

 but slight, and that the quantity brought to market 

 will not be lessened materially. 



Thanksi^ifingt. — His Excellency Gov. Eustis has ap- 

 pointed the 20th of November next, to be observed as 

 a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer throughout 

 this Commonwealth. T he Governor of New York has 

 appointed the 18th December to be observed as a day 

 of Public Prayer and Thanksgiving. The SOth of No- 

 vember, in New Hampshire, and the 27lh in Connecti- 

 cut are appointed for the same purpose in those states. 



Dill/ of Thanksgiving and Prayer throughout the 

 bounds of the Presbyterian Church in the U. States. — 

 The General Assembly at Philadelphia, in May, set 

 apart the first Thursday in November to be thus ob- 

 served. As this denomination of Christians is confined 

 principally to the middle and southern States, the 

 slate governments of which are not generally accus- 

 tomed to appoint this religious anniversary, it seemed 

 necessary for the Church to do it. 



Stramonium. — k Long Island paper mentions that 

 several children have been poisoned and barely escap- 

 ed death by eating the seeds of St ramoniujii, (thorn 

 apjAe or stink seed.) This plant is now in seed, and 

 grows in almost every village. 



5noM>. — On Tuesday last, Sept. 30, the hills in this 

 and the adjacent towns were covered with snow. W'e 

 are informed that on the height of land in Washing- 

 ton, the snow was from three to four inches deep ; pre- 

 senting the appearance of winter. 



MontpeUer Watchman. 



Sixty pounds of cloves have been gathered from a 

 single tree in Hayti the past season, a specimen ol
