POOR. HOUSE FARMS. 



A very intelligent committee of ti.o citizens ofj 

 Philadelphia have recently visited Salem, for t!ie 

 purpose of examining our JllmshoMo". Fr.rm. Wei 

 understand that ih" guardians of the Poor, in I 

 Philadelphia, have proposed the removal of their] 

 pauper establishment to a farm in t!io vicinity of 

 the city. They think that the expenses of support- 

 ing their poor, which now c.\xeed 120,000 dollars, 

 would be much reduced by the proposed change. 

 Having heard of the success of our farm, they in- 

 ctructod their committee to visit us. They v.'erc 

 much pleased with our establishment, and regvet- 

 ibat a scite possessing so many local advantages, 

 .'.ould not be found m their neighbourhood. T!ie 

 number of paupers in the Philadelphia Almshouse 

 IS, we arc told, ah'ont I, -100. — Connected with 

 their Almshouse is a valuable medical pstablish- 

 •neut, from which is derived a considerable reve- 

 nue for the support of the poor. As this would be 

 lost by the removal of the establishment, it is one 

 of the principal ohst-ncles to the proposed change.

COMMODORE. 



An elegant stud horse of this name, was brought 



out in the ship Samuel Robertson, Capt. Choate, 



'which arrived yesterday from Greenock. He was 



'■ imported by C. 11. Williamson, Esq. of Ontario- 



I county, N. V. is a blood bay, IG hands high, ris- 



j ing 7 years old, with great bone and fine symmo- 



I try, and is a horse of good blood and large mus- 



I cular power. He was sired by Caleb Quotem, 



dam Mary Brown, by Guilford, (son of Highflyer, 



■ by Eclipse.)— .V. Y. Ev. Post. 



! BOSTON BEEF. 



! One thousand casks of beef, and two hundred 

 I casks of pork, have arrived in London from Bos- 

 ton in the United States. They were inspected 

 'jn- I on Friday, and were found to be of prime quality. 

 Though these provisions cannot be landed, but for 

 I c-xport to our foreign dependencies of possessions, 

 I the circumstance shows the grcnt advances made 

 j by foreign nations. It is likely, we should think, 

 I that this meat, as being e(iual in quality to the 

 ! British or Irish, will be purchased by the Commis- 

 I saririt for our army in Portugal. This is a blow 

 to tlie Landed Interests, which no system of Corn 

 I Laws, will be enabled to cure. — Londcn paper. 

 ! QJ^Tho above beef, wo understand, was ship- 

 ' pod by Mr Horace Gray, and packed by the Mess.

PROVISION TRADE. 



le papers inform us that a quantity of .\meri- 



can Be^f and Pork has been imported ;it Lond(m, 

 and the quantity approved. It migiit be sold for 

 exportation. Other products of tliis country, I 

 hope, will hereafter fully find their way to that 

 great market, as well as to their Colonies. Fish 

 has long been a prohibited article, and a person in 

 England, could, with difficulty, obtain a 'itl. of the 

 best dumb [or dun] fish* (which is only procured 

 in this place and neighborhood) and as a special 

 favor. 



Beef and Pork are a great Staple in the Nortli- 

 crn States, but o.s these articles seldom go in car- 

 c'oes, or large quantities, they make little show in 

 returns or reports of merchandize, the export and 

 consumption are however continual, and the ag- 

 o-rotate immense. 



THE TALLIPOT TREE. 



A loaf of this e.'itraordinary Tree has li( 

 been brought over from the Island of Ceylon 

 which place it is a native, and is now in the jt 

 session of Richard Fletcher, of Hamstoad. % 

 leaf is in a good state of preservation : It aifi 

 ures fully 11 feet in height, 16 feet across in 

 widest spread, and from 38 to 40 feet in circa 

 ference. If exp.inded as a canopy, it is sufRi^littJ "* 

 to defend a dinner party of si.x from the rai 

 the sun, and in Ceylon is carried about bytha 

 tivcs for that purpose. 



FRUITS AND FROSTS. 



President Dwight, in his " Travels in iX'cw 

 land," &c. saya the common opinion that te: 

 plants and fruit trees ought to bo placed 

 warm southern exposure, to preserve them ttfi 

 frosts, is erroneous. Ho adduces many factf 

 prove that fruit trees should bo planted on n' 

 western, northern, or western declivities, w 

 they may be exposed to the r.ortli-western wii 

 .\ while frost being merely frozen dew, tl 

 objccc should be to keep the dew from rcsting't 

 the plants. Tliis c-in be efi'ectu:illy done only 

 exposing them to the free access of the north\( 

 winds, the source of almost every white frosj 

 Plants from which the dev,' is swept r.way by 

 wind will escape ; while tho.;c which, by bi 

 sheltered from its current, retain the dew, wi! 

 destroyed. Major White, of South Iladley, ha 

 orcliard on the northwestern declivity of a 

 exposed to the strong winds that blow through 

 gap between Mount Tom and Mount Ilolyok 

 j These winds swept the dew from this orchari 

 i efl'ectually, that its blossoms re;;ularly escaped 

 I injuries of such late frosts in t'lo sprino;;as dcst 

 jed those of the surrounding country. The iiihab 

 itants cf South Hadley styled such a frost Majt 

 l'r'hilc''s Harvest, because in sucli years his cide 

 commanded a very high price. A Mr Lyman o 

 Hockanum informed President Dwight that in 

 garden, which was exposed to the northwest wi; 

 the white frosts hnd never done any injury to 

 vegetables. — Hainpsldrc Gazelle. 



FOXES. 

 In Hawley, recently, a fox burrow was discov 

 Few of our own citizens knov.- that a weekly j cred, and IG young foxes were dug out and killed. 



Seamless .Shois. — A method has been invented 

 in England, of making a shoe from a single piece 

 of leather, without seam. The mode of operation 

 is simple. Thick leatbor is taken, and cut to a 

 shape resembling that of a common slipper when 

 pressed flat : it is then split by knives, .-idapted to 

 'he use, and the upper portion being raised from 

 (he lovi'er, is made to conform to the foot by 

 atretching it on a last. The superfluous parts are 

 *hen pared oflf and the manufacture is said to ex- 

 ceed in neatness, and to equal in durabilitv shoes 

 made in the usual way 



Cattle Fair is held at Brighton, (.5 miles from Bo: 

 ton) throughout the year, and in tlie Autunm, 

 when droves are brought to market, no more im- 

 posing sight is witnessed in our country. — Ei?:l'i 

 ihr.vscnid head of Cattle, of all sorts may be Wu.-t 

 seen together ; and a Gentleman living near has 

 taken account of 93,000 in three weeiis. — Were 

 these Bales of Cotton, or Hogsheads of Tobacco, 

 they would load many ships. Hogs are chielly 

 brought to town in Winter, ready to be barrelled. 

 The writer has seen in the store of one packer, at 

 once, a pile 40 feet square and eight feet higii, 

 making many hundreds. 



Young and lean Cattle are also sold at Brighton 

 to be taken back to the rich pastures of the inte- 

 rior. 



(This is quite as useful, though not so noisy, an 

 enterprise as a fox chase in England. In thW 

 country fox hunting is a favorite diversion with 

 many of the nobility and gentry, and some of the 

 clergy. Packs of hounds ;ire trained to tlic sport, 

 and 25 couple are ordinarily taken into tlie field 

 at once. The chase is sometimes continued by 

 dogs and horses for 8 or 10 hours, almost-at full 

 speed, and for a distance of 50 miles ; and one 

 chase is said to have been continued for about 120 

 miles. A hound has been known to run 3 miles 

 in 4 minutes. The fox is pursued by the scent 

 alone; this cunning animal often deceives hie 

 pursuers by wiles and stratagems, and resorts to 

 numerons turnings, windings and crossings. If 

 he takes shelter in .a hole, he is dug out, or dig- 



What is not the least remarkable is that the ■ lodged by sending in a terrier, a small doj trained 

 whole of the trade at Brighton is a ready money, to pursue game into their burrows. So great is 

 or cash business, and all adjusted either on the the ardor of the chase, that hor.ses frequently run
