 irtown, four boxes and one tumbler of Honey. 

 'he bo.ves were taken from the top of one hive,

Remtdyfor drinking cold water when heated. — A 

 ■iend in Rcxbury informs us that a person who had 

 laterially injured himself by drinking freely of cold 

 ater, when very warm, inconsequence of exertions 



making hay, was restored to health by the appli- 

 ition of bruised horse-radish leaves and onions to 

 le stomach and bowels. 



Sugar from Beet roots. — The French appear de- 

 jrmined to carry on this manufacture : the quali- 

 ty made in France is abont 4,000 tons a year, 

 he cost is as yet considerably greater than that 

 f West India sugar ; but the process is very re- 

 nt, and the parties expect to make improve- 

 ents which will niaterally reduce its expense. 



Emigrants from France. — In the ship France, 

 tely arrived at New York from Havre, came 113 

 rniers from Wirtemberg and Alsace, in France. 



Tall Timothy. — A stalk has been cut at Norris- 

 WD, Pa. 7 feet and 5^ inches in height. 



The Salem N. Y. Post states that the ffheat Crop 

 hich has looked remarkably promising, is now 

 cely to be greatly injured, and in some instances 

 most entirely cut off, by an insect, which is found, 



great numbers, in the head of the grain. It ia of 

 yellowish color, and about the tenth of an inch in 

 ngth. It is within the hull, where it fastens upon 

 e kernel, and saps the juices and destroys the life 

 ■ the wheat. 



It is stated, that if a bed of carnations be watered 

 different times in the season, with a solution of 

 tre, the good effects of the application will be visi- 

 e by the luxuriance of the leaves, and the extra or- 

 nary dimensions of the flowers. 



The expenses for the support of the poor of the 

 ty of New York, during the past year, (1829) 

 uounted to one hundred and twentyfour thous- 

 id dollars.
