Elsindir,.Yov. 23, — The epidemic which has 

 jvailod in different i)arts of lUissia still contin- 

 s ; and a very alarming circumstance is, that 

 len its course is supposed to have been arrested 

 one point, it sometimes appears at the distance 



from 30 to 80 German miles, passing over the 

 meiliate country without affecting it. A post 

 lich recently arrived from Moscow reported 300 

 w cases which had appeared in one day ; and 

 00 a|)|)eared on the last day of which we have 

 :ounts liy another post. The thermometer has

Pravellers say, that there is not a useless vegeta- 

 or even weed, in all China. A dead nettle is 

 verted into cloth — paper is made from the straw 

 ice — the cup of tlie acorn dies black — the

 itely diversified. For instance, iu every vil- 

 as large as Pittsfield, and perhaps smaller, 

 e ought to be regular gardening as an occupa- 

 In this way, the Mechanics get better fruits 

 vegetables, and for a less price. It is the nat- 

 advautage of the division of labor. In living 

 uch as our laboring people do upon beef, pork, 

 potatoes, they consult neither health or econ- 



They do not seem to understand that animal 

 is by far the dearest. — SedgeioicVs Address.
