FiM:XCH WORK ON Till'- U. STATES. 



M. La Vas~eur, w lio acco.iipanicil General L.i 



lyetlf ill Ills American tour, Ins wri ten a letter 



a friciul in Virginia, in wliicU lie saj'i— ^ 

 "The desire to make our countryiiien acqviaint- 

 wi;!i what is beaiitifil, simple, ami admirable, 



tlie institiitions of the U. States, has siicrgested 

 idea, wliicii appears a happy one and will ob- 



1^1 sincerely liope, your ajjprob-aioii. It is the 



Bfcation of a monthly journal, the li'Vite .lineri- 

 lif.a periodical paper of from eight to ten sheets 

 ettur press, whose special purpose is to dcnion- 



ate by/jc/«,tl»e immense advantages of the sys- 

 utroduced in vour country and to make the 

 opcans more exactly acipiainted witli the hap- 

 results, which such wise institutions linve pro- 



;cd to the United States. It will be our endeav- 

 to take advantage of all the discoveries in the 



ence-j, manufactures, and agriculture, which 

 ich t!ie two Americas ; we intend also to follow 

 m in the progressive increase of their literature, 

 e stockholders in this useful andertaking are 

 itlemen very well known and highly respocta- 

 The editorship is to be confined to a young 

 itlenian, who is my friend, and was my compan- 

 in arms, whose talents, sentiments, and per- 

 ; integrity are sure guaa-anteos of the excel- 

 e of liis work." 



•JiiTereat is the situation of the agricultural 

 M-er in America from that of the operative in 

 manufacturing districts in Great Britian ! If 

 American farmer cannot obtain money for his 

 luce, so as to give pecuniary wages, he is al- 

 s ab'e to feed the laborer : not so, the mauu- 

 urer : for w!>en he ceases to pay, the opera- 

 starves, and is driven by hunger to crime or 

 rrection. We have been struck with the fol- 

 ng passage of one of the letters of Wilson, the 

 ithologist, who was, himself, in Iiis youth, em- 

 ed in the trade of weaving, in Scotland. 

 An clJ weaver is a poor, emaciated, helpless 

 g, shivering over rotten yarn, and groaning 

 ■ his empty flour barrel. An old farmer sits 

 is arm chair, before his jolly fire, wliilst his 

 s arc crowded witli hung beef and gammon, 

 the bounties of heaven are pouring into his 

 >. Even the article of health is a considera- 

 sulEcient to make a young man prefer the 

 rs of the field : for health is certainly the first 

 yment of life. Hagf^-ing down trees is hard 

 L, no doubt ; but taken moderately, it strength- 

 the sinews, and is a manly, independent em- 

 ment."' 



ilson referred to the British weaver. Tlie 

 •rican operatives are, certainly, in % more 

 mate condition in every respect. [Nat. Gaz.] 



norai'.cc. — A man in Kentucky on being in- 

 led that Mr. Jefferson was dead, said he had 

 ■r heard of such a person — We are told that 

 n in the county of Hampsldre, Mas. over 40 

 5 of age, inquired ofiiis neighbor a year or 

 since, whether Bonaparte was the name of a 

 or of a city. [Northampton Gazette.]

Mr EniTor. — Of nil the numerous prescriptions, 

 for the cure or removal of tlie evils of do.mestic 

 life wliich have been published, I do not recollect 

 to have seen any one denominated, 



A CURE FOR THE RED ANTS. 

 The evils of tliis little visitant, are well known 

 to perhaps every liouse-v/ife, and perhaps nothing 

 would more exhilirate the domestic circle than 

 the discovery of a remedy for the red ants. Sucli 

 discovery I have made and wish you to coumiuni- 

 cate to the public through your useful paper. — 

 Common Salt is a complete barrier to the ap- 

 proacli of the red ant — Let the salt be so placed 

 that tliey cannot approach the place from which 

 you wish to exclude them w ilhout passing over it, 

 and the remedy is complete. For instance ; if 

 you wish to exclude them from the cellar cup- 

 board or any moveable cupboard, if it has no legs, 

 make artificial legs to your cupboard, then provide 

 something suitable to hold for eac!i leg of the cup- 

 board, a pint or a quart of salt in wliich place the 

 legs of the cupboard, and sit it free from every 

 thing else so that nothing can creep on to it with- 

 out passing over the salt, and the remedy is com- 

 plete. — Having tested this remedy for two seasons 

 I have no hesitation in recommending it as a com- 

 plete cure. Yours,

Valuable Horses and Bulls of Imported Stock, 



FOR SALE. 



WITHI.N the last three years the Trustees of the 

 Massachusetts Society lor promoting Agriculture have 

 received from England several very valuable Animals, 

 presented to them by the public spirited British Adnii/ 

 ral Pir Isaac Coffin, and also his brother (Jeneral John 

 Coffin, natives of Massachusetts, with the sole object 

 of improving the breeds of this State. And the Trus- 

 tees lielieving that their generous intentions would be 

 more extensively realized, if owned as private property, 

 than by any method they have been able to devise as 

 a public body — have resolved to dispose of th. m at 

 Public \nction at their next Cattle Show at Brighton 

 on the 18th day of Ortober iiext, under (he positive 

 limitation of their being always kepi within the Stale 

 of Massachusetts.

 thi- purpose, will receive proposals for private sale, 

 Mill said day, and give every information relating to 

 (them.

 sides of Comet (of which testimony can he exhibited.) 

 He is of a beautiful Roau colour, was 5 years old last 

 I May, is perfectly gentle, and is presumed to be equal 

 I to any Bull of this most celebrated hreed ever imported 

 to this country, having cost in England One Hundred 

 1 and Twenty Guineas. This breed are presumed to ar- 

 rive at maturity for the stall much earlier than any 

 other — and are geni^rally great milkers.
