winch there is any foreign market to lie de-'

 MOUNT AUBURN. 



The grounds at .Mount Auburn have been 

 surveyed. Avenues and paths have been 

 cut through i lie woods and bushes, and mar- 

 ked with the plough; so that all parts ot the 

 grounds, intended for a cemetery, are now 

 accessible. Two hundred lots, of three hun- 

 dred square feet each, have been staked out 

 and nombeied. Although it has been the 

 intention of the Garden and Ceinentery 

 Committee, in tne selection of these lots, to 

 present situations as desirable as possible, 

 and embracing all the varieties of locality, 

 soil, natural growth, publicity, seclusion, 

 kc. which that romantic spot affords . yet 

 there are, undoubtedly, some among them to 

 which subscribers will give a preference. — 

 It is, therefore, proposed on Monday next to 

 offer at auction the right of choice; when not 

 only subscribers, but all, who desire to be- 

 come such are invited to attend an. I make 

 the r selection. 



The anticipations of the projectors of this 

 Rural Cemetery have been thus far more 

 than realized. The funds already raised 

 are sufficient to meet the payment of the 

 whole purchase of grounds for the Cemetery 

 and Experimental Garden, and to leave half 

 as much more for the purposes of inclosing 

 and orna enting the place. And as it is 

 believed that this I emete y is destined 

 shortly to assume a degree of importance, 

 and to excite an interest very disproportion- 

 ate to its unobtrusive commencement, the 

 members of the Horticultural Society are 

 desirous that all their fellow-citizens and 

 neighbors, who are disposed, should enjoy 

 with them all the privileges of the original 

 subscribers ; and all, who desire, and ar? 

 ready to subscribe, can attend the auction, 

 and secure a chioce on the same grounds 

 with themselves. In doing this, it will be 

 remembered that each individual so subscri- 

 bing becomes, not only the exclusive owner 

 of the lot selected, but also a member of the 

 Horticultural Society for life, and a joint 

 proprietor of the whole grounds connected 

 with Mount Auburn, which comprises more 

 than seventy acres. The statement is pub- 

 licly made, that all may understand that 

 there is nothing exclusive or selfish in the 

 present arrangement, and. to invite all. who 

 may intend to become subscribers, to do so 

 before any of the lots shall have been assign- 

 ed, that their preference and taste may be 

 gratified. It may be well to state, although 

 there is nothing to prevent the construction 

 of tombs by any who may wish to do so, that 

 the general sentiment of those now interest- 

 ed, as far as their views have been made 

 known, is in favor of separate interments, 

 with one geneial monument in each enclo- 

 sure or lot, on which the names of all there 

 interred may be inscribed. 



A well secured receiving tomb has been 

 provided in the city, and another will be 

 constructed at the Cemetery ; at either of 

 which the remains of the deceased may be 

 safely deposited for a period not exceeding 



six months, when the inclemency of the 

 weather, or any other cause, may rentier this 

 course desirable for their friends. 



Th time is not distant when health and 

 propriety will forbid interments to he made 



within our city, annually becoming re 



and more crowded ; and where can imagin- 

 ation light upon a spot foi the sleeping place 

 of our friends more lovely or desirable than 

 Mount Auburn ! 



Drink for horses— Some of the Inn keep 

 ers on the western road have adopted the 

 prac ice, recommended b\ a member of the 

 Bat Agricultural Society, of boiling the com 

 given tu horses, and giving iheui water to 

 drink. It is most satisfactorily ascertained 

 that three bushels of oats, barley, &c. so 

 prepared, will keep the horses in better con- 

 dition foi working than double the quantity 

 in a crude state. — English pa. 



Test ofagooa Garden* , — Om test for hir- 

 ing a gardener would be, his being a reader; 

 for, in the present state of the art, it is quite 

 impossible to be a good geneial gardener 

 without not only the habit of leading, but 

 of reading a good deal. 



We understand that Count de Leon has 

 purchased of the Messrs. Rapps all their 

 beautiful and now highly improved do- 

 mains, commonly called " Economy," and 

 situate eighteen miles trom Pittsburg, a- 

 long side the Ohio river. It so, this is the 

 third sale of different settlements the 

 Rapp's have made within a few years. —

We publish tn day a prospectus for the sec- 

 ond volume of this paper; and we are under thi 

 necessity of appealing to those who fei 1 an inter- 

 ist in its continuance, and who think it import 

 ant that our effort should be sustained, to exert 

 themselves to procure subscribers; for as yet. 

 with all the liberality it has received, the numbei 

 of our subscribers fall far short of sufficient to pay 

 tin- expenses of its publication. 



Will the Friends of the Genesee Farmer, do 

 what they can to extend its circulation, and for- 

 ward the result of their labors as soon as conve- 

 nient? We cannot doubt but that they will, and 

 relying upon their exertions, we shall do all in our 

 power to render the paper worthy their support.

rpHE GENESEE FARMER and Garden- 

 A En's Journal.— L. TUCKER & Co., Pub- 

 lishers— N. GOODSELL, Editor. 



In issuing proposals for the second volume of 

 the Farmer, which will commence on the first of 

 January, 1832, the Publishers have the pleasure of 

 stating ihat the work has met the decided appro- 

 bation of that class of the community for whom 

 it is intended, and has had the salutary effect of 

 calling out many writers, whose experience would 

 otherwise have been unavailable ; and they are al- 

 so induced to believe it has been the means of a- 

 wakening many of our Farmers to the importance 

 of extending their information upon the subject of 

 their daily pursuits, and convincing them of the 

 utility and necessity of a paper devoted especially 

 to "the tillers of the ground." The public papers, 

 and the judgment of many of our most enlight- 

 ened husbandmen, concur in the opinion that Mr. 

 Goodsell, the Editor, has fulfilled his duties with 

 such ability, as, with the aid of his correspondents, 

 to have placed the Genesee Farmer on a level 

 with the best Agricultural journals of our coun- 

 try. It has, as yet, enlisted the good feelings and 

 contributions of but a small part of that portion of 

 our agriculturists who are well qualified to impart 

 an interest and value to its columns. We shall, 

 therefore, commence the publication of the second 

 volume with the hope and the assurance, that ma- 

 ny names will be added to the list of contributors 

 in the course of another year, and we may ven- 

 ture to predict that the second volume will at leasl 

 equal, if it does not excel, the first. 



Its leading object has been,and will be, to impar 1 

 that information which will tend in the greatest 

 degree to the improvement of the Agriculture. 

 Horticulture, and Domestic Economy, of our coun- 

 try. 



The first volume can be supplied to all new sub 

 scribers, and bound in a neat manner to such 

 as desire it. In soliciting the patronage of the 

 public, and especially of Agricultural and Horti- 

 cultural Societies, we ask aid no further than an 

 intelligent farming public may think we deserve it 



CONDITIONS — The Farmer is printed ev- 

 ery Saturday in a quarto form, on fine paper and 

 fair type, with a Title Page and Index, making 

 416 pages a year, at $2 50, payable in six months 

 or $2, if paid in advance.
