NEW ENGLAND FARMER, 



JUIiY 33, 18f5. 



jsasionasiAai'S', 



[From late Foreign Paiiera.] 

 We have selHorn met with a move agreeable 

 jeu d'esprit than the following, which we copy 

 fj-onithe Saturday's Magazine for April 11 : 



nnHAL CHRONIOLK APRTL. 



Departures. — For ths north : — Frost, Esq. and 

 suite, amongst whom we noticed Messrs Wood- 

 cock, Fiehlfarc, Redwing, &c. 



Arrivals. — Early in the month, Mr and Mrs 

 Swallow; family expected to follow soon. N. B. 

 Mr and Mrs S. go out very little as yet. 



The Messrs Blackbird and Thrush have begun 

 to give their annual concert for the season. Their 

 respective ladies " ara at home." 



The musical foreigner of distinction, the Sig- 

 ner Cuckoo, whose favorite cantatas are so re- 

 peatedly encored, is said to be on the lookout for 

 lodgings in the neighborhood ; strange stories are 

 in circulation respecting a branch of the Sparrow 

 family. 



The Widow Nightingale, to her seat in Poplar 

 Island. 



The Misses Martin for the season. 



Dr and Mrs Rook have made great )irogress in 

 their new dwelling, which is built on the old site. 



The Wren family, so famous in the annals of 

 architecture, have lately designed some edifices, 

 which show them to be as skiful as ever ill that 

 admirable art. 



CO URT NEWS. GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. 



Yesterday, her Serene Highness, Queen Flora, 

 held her first drawing room this season, which 

 was most numerously attended. The court open- 

 ed soon after sun-rise ; Mr Skylark was in attend- 

 ance to announce the company. 



The Misses Daisy were the earliest visitors; 

 after which the arrivals were constant. 



Messrs Bugle, Broom, Lilac, Orchis, Periwin- 

 kle, Ranunculus, Stellaria, &c. &c., all richly and 

 tastefully attired. 



The numerous family of the Anemonies paid 

 their devoirs early. These elegantes were va- 

 riously habited ; some wore rich scarlet boddices, 

 others purple and green trains; the Misses A., in 

 robes of simple white and green, almost surpass- 

 ed in beauty their more splendid relatives. 



The Misses Violet, on their return to the coun- 

 try introduced by the Ladies Primrose ; the amia- 

 ble and modest appearance of the former was 

 much noticed, the costume of each party was 

 thought very becoming, and skilfully assorted to 

 set off the charms of both. 



The Misses Blue-Bell, wore robes of azure tis- 

 sue, and were nuich admired for the sylph-like 

 elegance of their forms. 



The beautiful Germander family, with their 

 never-to-be forgotten eyes of heavenly blue, at- 

 tracted universal attention. 



The arrival of the Rose family was anxiously 

 expected. 



The Misses Cowslip were presented ; it has 

 been the fashion to call them the " pretty rustics ;" 

 but they were most graciously received, and the 

 delicate propriety of their dress and manners 

 much admired. 



The Lady Cardamines, costumes of the finest 

 linen. 



Mrs Tulip, body and train of crijmson and gold; 

 this truly grand dress had a superb effect. 



Messrs Chestnut, Oak, Birch, Lime, &c. &c. 

 sported new bright green liveries, of various 

 shades. 



Messrs. Blackthorn, Pear, Apple, &c. &c. 

 crowded round their sovereign, eager to pay their 

 dutiful homage ; they inade a magnificent show, 

 in rich suits of white, red and green. 



The company were greatly delighted with a 

 concert of vocal music from a large party of the 

 best performers in the neigheorhood, consisting 

 wholly of amateurs. 



The court broke up, having partaken of a few 

 drops of a light and charming beverage, but not 

 before the Widow Nightingale, (who had joined 

 the performers of the morning,) had been entreat- 

 ed to favor the company with a song ; the well- 

 bred lady instantly complied, and poured upon 

 the ears of her delighted auditors one of her 

 most heart thrilling melodies. 



Improvement in Baking. — Having recently 

 noticed, in one of the Philadelphia papers, an ar- 

 ticle in reference to an improvement in connexion 

 with the Bake House, giving the credit of the in- 

 vention to Mr Francis C. Trcadvvell, of this city, 

 in order to satisfy ourselves, we yesterday visited 

 his establishment at 114 B^ekman st. We are 

 now prepared to assert, on the authority of Mr 

 Treadwell, that his four ovens, constructed for the 

 use of the Anthracite Coal, besides baking as well 

 as by the heat from wood, saves at least one half 

 of the expense of fuel and labor. But we con- 

 sider the lessening of danger from bakers, as to 

 fires, a most important consideration in populous 

 cities. Constructed as the bakery of Mr T. is, 

 there is no danger, and it may be considered by 

 insurers among their safest risks. Besides, the 

 supply of coal being deposited in a vault under 

 the street, takes up but little room, and the use of 

 it in the ovens is so regulated that no dust or any 

 offensive effluvia is ever experienced in the neigh- 

 borhood. Thus, the piles of pine wood, requir- 

 ing much room, and always a dangerous depot in 

 case of fire, are got rid of. — JV. Y. Gazette. 



LvDELLiBLE Ink. — If a leaf or stem of ivy be 

 broken off, a yellowish milky juice exudes from 

 the wounded extremity. After a short exposure 

 to the sun it becomes black. This juice vihen 

 applied to linen, forms one of the most l)erfect 

 kinds of indelible ink. It does not fade from age, 

 washing, or exposure to any of the chemical agents 

 except boiling ether. The poison i\'y seems not 

 to be equally injurious to all, as many persons will 

 come in contact with it, and even chew the leaves 

 with impunity. — Hagerstoivn Courier. 



Bone Manure. — This article is making its way 

 gradually into farms. Several farmers who have 

 tried it on Long Island have become satisfied of 

 its value. We should be glad to receive from 

 those who have used it the result of their experi- 

 ments. We should also be glad to communicate 

 any information in regard to its use, its applica- 

 tion to various soils &c. that can be furnished to 

 us. — Long Island Star.
