Burden's Improved Patent Horse-shoes. — These 

 shoes are made from the best refined iron, and are 

 offered at the low rate of from 25 to 50 cents per set, 

 of four shoes; thus saving the smith much labour and 

 a clear profit of 25 to 50 cents on every horse he shoes, 

 over those who continue to manufacture on the old 

 plan, besides giving greater satisfaction to the cus- 

 tomers. 



Also, steel toe caulks; cut to fit the shoe, with two 

 prongs, a superior article. For sale by

We found upon our table, on the 7th inst., a commu- 

 nication in reply to an article in our last number. In 

 looking over it. we discovered language, which we se- 

 riously believe the writer, be he who he may, would 

 himself regret to see in the columns of this paper. 

 Free discussion we would not discourage; but we 

 have a right to insist that it be conducted with cour- 

 tesy and good feeling. While the present proprietor 

 has the control of its pages, he must ask to be excused 

 from suffering the Cabinet to be made a vehicle for ex 

 pressions calculated to irritate, rather than to con 

 vince, and which had far better be expunged from the 

 intercourse of gentlemen. If we have inadvertently 

 inserted any thing we ought not, we regret it. While 

 we mean ourselves, to keep in a good humour with all 

 our correspondents, we also mean, if possible, to keep 

 them in a good humour with each other. 



53" Notices, which are essentially advertisements, 

 are sometimes received, with a request that we would 

 insert them. Although the Cabinet is not professedly 

 an advertising paper, the proprietor would be willing 

 to deviate a little from the plan which has heretofore 

 been pursued, and insert to a very limited extent, short 

 advertisements, the subject matter of which, may be 

 in character with this paper. The terms will be one 

 dollar for each insertion of ten lines or less, and so in 

 proportion for each additional line. The money to be 

 paid in advance. An advantageous medium will thus, 

 we think, be opened for our agricultural friends to 

 make their wants known, as well as to have them 

 iupplied. 



8. C. Ford, of this city, left with us a few w« 

 ago, a very fine sugar beet, weighing, as he says, al 

 13 pounds. It was grown at his place, at the cornt 

 Second street and Fisher's Lane; the same spot, 

 understand, where John Lorain made the experinn 

 described in his work on Agriculture. S. C. Ford 

 stated, that on a piece of ground 41 yards by 26 

 raised 2ti0 bushels of these beets: or at the rat 

 1180 bushels per acre. This, at 60 lbs. the bushe 

 equivalent to 35 tons of green food, which can ba 

 fail to be of great value, as a change for stock.
