On Saturday evening, after the exhibition, a 

 ne box of Phims was received from E. Edwards, 

 SQ. of Springfield, Mass. Tllpy were taken 

 om a seedling tree, %vhich was planted abont 20 

 ears since in the garden of Jndge Piatt, in 

 Vhitesboro, N. Y. The stone was bronglit from 

 msterdam, in Holland. Mr Edwards describes 

 as a .^rreat and constant bearer, very hardy, and 

 ot subject to l>lig!it. He states that be had on 

 e end of a very small liuib of a tree, that was 

 anted out a year ago last spring, in the space of 



nche.o, 35 full grown, ripe plnnis. Sotrie of 

 lese trees in Springfield, have produced this year, 

 o busliel-i each. 

 As Damel Lo:\ibard, Esq. of Springfield, was 

 e first person who introduced the tree into that 

 larter from Wliitesboro. N. Y., it has been appro- 

 iately called the Lomhard Plum. It will, from 

 4 extftrnal showy appearance, make an excellent 

 arket fruit ; but it is deficient in flavor, compar- 

 1 with our fine Plums. It can of course be ex- 

 inded by suckers from the roots, or by planting 



stones without grafting. Mr Edwards has 

 ry generously ofliiM-cd to distribute the grafts 

 d suckers to any gentlemen in the proper season 



removing them. Some of them would be 

 ry acceptable in this quarter.

A gentleman who had left Westchester, Pa. his 

 live village when 50 years of age, and had 

 ver revisited it, lately returned unexpectedly, at 



age of 82, and was recognized by two old ladies

iHops. — The Concord Gazette states that the 

 p-growers are the greatest sufferers by the gale 

 26th ult. Hops nearly ready to pick were 

 [ch beaten and torn. In Littleton, Boxboro', 

 1 Wilmington, great damage has been sustained. 

 fore the gnle the growers expected large crops 

 first qunlity hops, but these are so much injured, 

 t they will hardly now pass for second quality. 

 The stone fruit, apples, corn, &e. were much 

 iiaged.
