NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



.-{.oe 



July and August. Besides our hard frosts have not 

 buen so severe nor so late as those which have often 



ifed us. In Ifiie, we had much coKIlt weather and 

 more severe frosts in June, than we have this year ex- 

 perienced in May. '■ 



ERRArti.ir. In the article furnished us by Col. Pick- 

 EP.i.vr;, published in our last paper, in the first column 

 of the first page, of that No. a little below- the middle 

 of the column the following line occurs : " to be bed 

 ded and/urroiTfrf on all sides." It should have been, 

 to be bedded a^d inrrounrfci/ on all sides. 



FX)llF.IG.\. 

 By a late arrival at New York, papers have been re- 

 ceived from Liverpool as late as the i6th of April ; but 

 Qthingof a very interesting nature has come to hand 

 by this arrival. 



The British Government has given notice that mea- 

 sures have been taken for the blockade of Algiers, and 

 warned against any attempt to violate the blockade. 



The British .Admiral, H. B. \cale, was off Algiers in 

 ;he Revenge, with five frigates. The Dey had refus- 

 id to treat, and was making preparations to sustain a 

 )ombardment. For this purpose he had dismantled 

 he vessels of war which were in the Bay, and had 

 Irawu them under the Mole. He had also com- 

 aanded an immense numberof troops from the interior, 

 o man the fortress. It is said that the Dey has re- 

 used to accede to the terms proposed to him, but his 

 Ifllcers are disposed to resist his authority, as they are 

 ot disposed to undergo a bombardment. 

 Paris papers contain accounts of horrible massacres, 

 nd great excesses, which have taken place in several 

 iti'is of Spain. The prisons of Madrid have been 

 rok.n, and many persons, detained for political olTcn- 

 :5. have been sacrificed. At Cordova about 10 have 

 :eu massacred — the plot succeeded only in pait. 

 Trieste, March 29. Letters from Corfu of the ISth 

 March give an important piece of news, but which 

 ants confirmation — it is the surrender of Arta, by a 

 ulicular convention to the Greek General Bozzaris. 

 i= added, that the Albanian troops had joined with . 

 c insurgents, who immediateJy advanced to JaiSnhia, 

 hich they hope likewise to bring to capitulation. — 

 hen the Greeks are once masters of these two for- 



iisses they may c.insider themselves as finally esta- 

 ished in Epirus. 

 Eitrlhqualee in Jamaica. — .Tamaica papers of the 

 'th of April, stale that a tremendous shock of an 

 .rthquake was felt at Kingston on the night of the 

 •th, which caused great alarm among the inhabitants, 

 ho simultaneously rushed from their houses. The 

 lurches were opened, and immediately filled by per- 

 of all sects, eager to return thanks to the Al- 

 ighty for their escape. 



DOMESTIC. 



Fatal At-cidenl — Mrs. Susan Mercer, of Troy, N. Y 

 eling indisposed took about a tea-spoonful and an half 

 the oil of tansy, which she mistook for the common 

 !C7tc£. It threw her into convulsions, and she died 

 about two hours. 



Diitressing Occurrtnce. — On the 24th inst. at Wood- 

 iry. N. .T. two young daughters, the only children of 

 r. Joseph V. Heddrich lost their lives by taking a pre- 

 ation of nTscnic. administered to them by mistake 

 magnesia by their mother — whose feelings on the 

 7ful event none b?it a parent can conceive. Tam- 

 :iug with drugs is always dangerous, and medicines 

 a deadly nature should never be kept or used but 

 th the utmost care and precaution by unskilful hands, 

 le immoderate use of herbs may also produce fatal 

 ects. A lady lost her life in an eastern State, a few 

 ys since, by taking too strong doses of the essence of 



y.—X. Y. Slalesman. 

 CasuaMy. — While Mr. George Hopkins was adjusting 

 2 load of a wagon, the body of the wagon tilted, and 

 e unhappy man was thrown to the height of ten feet 

 and in falling, his head was badly fractured against 

 axle-tree. He has undergone a surgical operation, 

 ,,[MA hopes are entertained of his recovery. — R. I. Am. 

 Bnrlinglon College Burnt.— The college building of 

 : Vermont University, at Burlington, took fire on the 

 h uit. from a ."park which f^ll upon the roof, and was 



burnt down. The fire was not discovered until the in- 

 terior ofth'; roof was on fire, so that all eflbrts to ex- 

 tinguish it were hopeless. The college and society li- 

 braries, and part of the philosophical apparatus vvirc 

 preserved, together with 'most of the books and furni- 

 ture of the students. Rooms are to be procured in
