■»)•« for Iniemptrancp. — We published some 

 iths "ago (says the Taunton Reporter) ,-i pro- 

 ption enumerating the ingredients used for the 

 c of intemperance. The following paragruphs 

 ply what v.as wanted in tliat prescription, viz. 

 quanliti/ of each ingredient. It is from a cor- 

 pondent of the N. Y. Enquirer : 

 The success of my remedy is founded on that 

 ..tUable principle in our nature that we loathe 

 atever produces a disagreeable or unpleasant 

 iiression. It is obvious that such impressions 

 y ba obliterated by lime, hence a repetition of 

 remcdv sometimes becomes necessary. 

 The prescription which I have generally eni- 

 ,ed, is the following : Antimonial Wine, hall' 

 oini'c. Wine of Ipecac, two drachms. Tinc- 

 e of AssafcDtida, one drachm. A portion of 

 5, and in cases of long standing, the whole of 

 .s to be mixed with tlie liquor tov.'liich the per- 

 1 is addirted, and in many cases unless the pci- 

 1 i.i told, he will swallow the dose without sus- 

 ion.

Discovtiij :Ships. — The ship Ilecla, Capt. Parry, 



nnd on a voyage of discovery loSpit/.bcrgen and 



2 North Pole, was to sail from England the first 



;ek in AIny. She has a compleuiert of G4 men, 



months provisions, 1000 bushels of coal, a li- 



larv, boarding pikes to keep tlie hears oft" &c. 



lie is lined all over with cork, to protect the men 



jm damp and cold, and heated air can he con- 



yed to all ])avls of tlie ship by iron flues. Tlie 



e boats are so constructed that they may be 



•awn by rein deer on the ice, or rowed by oars 



the water. A large assortment of fur garments 



o provided for the men : some of them lined 



ith the soft and warm skins of eider ducks. — 



he strength of the rum is rectified to .5.'> per cent. 



bovc proof. A part of the provisions consists of 



le essence of meat ; si.v pounds of the best beef 



cing reduced to one pound. The expense of this 



jod is $3.75 per pound. [Hamp. Ga?..] 



Tiiere are indications that the season will prove 

 avourable for some productions, particularly fruit 

 nd grass. We notice in the Taunton Reporter 

 hat a farmer in Bridgcwnter cut and cured a 

 lundrcd of hay on less than 5 rods of ground, on 

 he Snth of April lust. Some of the spears of grass 

 •ere measured and found to be 19 inches long. 



One hundred and :'fteen vessels with 1500 pas-

Season of Blossoms. — Wc have visited, within 

 tlio last few days, sovcrnl of the line gardens in 

 the vicinity of New- York, for the purpose of o.x- 

 amining the ologant shows of ilowcrs, now bloom- 

 ing in all their charms. The lirst of those c.\hi- 

 bitions is iit Mr Kinncrsley's, near the junction of 

 IJroadway and the Bowery. His collection of tu- 

 lips is extensive, rich, and beautiful, embracing 

 one Itttndrcd (t7ui fort:/ varieties of all possible 

 shades and colours. The flowers form a splendid 



parterre, sheltered from the sun by an awning 



Mr Neil's collection, near the corner of Fil'lh- 

 strect and the Bowery, is scarcely loss numerous 

 and brilliant than the above. Both of these florists 

 liave taken particular pains to extend the varie- 

 ties of the tulip, by importing the rarest plants, 

 and producing now kinds by culture. 



The Gardens of Mr Prince at Flushing exhibit 

 more than their oqdinury ckarms at this delightful 

 season. Ills groves of magnolia and beds of tulips 

 are in full bloom. Here may be seen the Chinese 

 Peony, which in the splendor of its petals probably 

 surpasses any thing of the kind to be found in our 

 gardens. But the glory of the flowery tribe is a 

 cactus spcciosissimus, a plant from South America, 

 tl:e bloom of which is of rare occurrence, and gor- 

 geous beyond description. Much to the credit of 

 our botanists, their grounds are at all hours open 

 to the inspection of the public, and amateurs who 

 wish to witness the elegant display will do well to 

 pay an early visit, before these evanescent beauties 

 liavo faded. — JV. Y. Statesman. 



There will be few peaches in Northampton, but

A H'ondtrful fl'ift. — On the south wallof Strat- 

 ham church, there is a monument with the follow- 

 ing inscription ; " Elizabeth, wife of Majjr Gen- 

 eral Hamilton, who was married forty-seven years, 

 and never did one thing to displease her husband." 



Baron do Grimm shrewdly observes, in a letter 

 relating to the anxiety of D'Alenibert to be buried 

 within the walls of the parish church, ' It is very 

 stringe that the philosophers think it so much bet- 

 ter to bo in tlie churcli after they are dead, and 

 so mucli glory to be out of it when living.' 



Uad Things. — An unfaithful servant, a smoky 

 house, a stumbling horse, a scolding wife, an ach- 

 ing tooth, an enqity purse, an incessant talker, a 

 long story, musquitoes, flies, float, spiders, and a 

 dandy !
