 according to the National Intelligencer, the follow- 

 ing results: — 

 Recapitulation, exhibiting th» General Aggregate 

 of each description of persons in the United States, 

 by classes. 



FREE WHITE PERSONS.

Total number of Free Colored Persons,. ...319,467 

 Total aggregate of the U. States 12,856,154. 



The facts that strikes us at the first glances in 

 this statement, is the immense disproportion of 

 aged colored people, to aged white people. Take 

 this extreme case for instance : — there are of 



White males, over 100 years, - - 274 

 do. females, " "... 234 



— 508 

 out of a population of ten and a half millions ! or 

 about one centenarian for every 20,000 souls. 



Of male slaves, over 100 years, - - 718 



female do. " " - - - 668—1386 



out of a population of little over two millions, or one 

 centenarian for every fourteen hundred souls ! 



But the free colored persons give a result still 

 more incredible : — there are 



Of males over 100 years, - - 266 



females " •• .... 361—627 

 'i.ut of a population of three hundred and nineteen 

 iltaasani person?, or a cente,n,ariau for 'every 500 ' 



HOME. 

 * * * " What so sweet — 

 So beautiful on earth, and oh ! so rare, 

 As kindred love and family repose." 



" The busy world 

 With all the tumult and the stir of life, 

 Pursues its wonted course ; on pleasure sonic, 

 And some on commerce, and ambition bent, 

 And all on happiness ; while each one loves 

 One little spot, in which his heart unfolds 

 With nature's holiest feelings, one sweet spot, 

 And calls it Home : If sorrow is felt there, 

 It runs through many bosoms, and a smile 

 Lights up in eyes around a kndred smile ; 

 And if disease intrudes, thei sufferer finds 

 Rest on the breast beloved." 



THE GENESEE FARMER and Garden 

 er's Journal.— L. TUCKER & Co.. Pub. 

 Iishers— 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 i hat 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- 

 wakeningmany 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 least 

 equal, if it docs not excel, the first. 



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



r» 



that information which will tend in the greates 1 

 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 ami 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 S3 50, payable in six months, 

 or S3, if paid in advance'. 



3j> Gentlemen who procure five subscribers, 

 and forward the payment for the same, will be 

 allowed a sixth copy gratis.

PATEN! ZINC HOLLOW-WANE 



MANUFACTURED bv John Westfidd & 

 Co., No. 163, Mott street, New- York 

 ROSSITER & KNOX, No. 3, Buffalo street 

 Rochester, having been appointed agents for the 

 sale of the above ware, are now receiving an- addi- 

 tional supply, whieh they offerforsale afthe man- 

 ufacturers' price. 



This ware will be found not materially to exceed 

 in price Tin and Iron; yet as durable as Iron, not 

 subject to rust, giving the article cooked or kept in 

 it no unpleasant taste, not containing in itself, nor 

 forming with the materials cooked in it, any dele- 

 teriousproperities, as do Copper, Brass or Lead. 



Zinc Kettles, for cooking Rice, Hommim . anfl 

 all kinds Sweet Meats, will be found well adapt- 

 ed, neither discoloring, nor varying the flavor of 

 the substance cooked ; for these purposes, and to 

 avoid the corrosions of Copper, Brass and Lead, ii 

 will long be substituted for these metals. 



Zinc Pans for the Dairy, will be found an ob- 

 ject worthy of attention from the following consi- 

 derations ; that Milk in Zinc Pans of the same- 

 size, will produce from 20 to 25 per cent more 

 cream or butter, and that of superior flavor ; will 

 keep milk sweet longer by a number of hours, af- 

 fording the cream more time, besides its chymieal 

 effect, to separate from the milk, (for this reason, 

 cream from those pans will not admit ot bein<J 

 charned as soon as that from other pans, in as 

 much as no cream should be churned till it is 

 soured,) and greatly outlast any pans in use. 



Zinc Jars and Firkins for preserving butter 

 sweet for family use, possess equally superior ad- 

 vantage for butter, as do the pans for milk. Ex- 

 periment and results safely warrant the above 

 statement ; and the orders of wholesale and rtail-e 

 ing merchants as well as those of families and 

 large dairies daily supplying from different parts 

 of the country, are the consequence of successful 

 results in'the use of this ware. 



Zinc ware is cleansed with Brick Dust, with 

 Soap and Sand, or with Hot Ashes. 



Notice. — Letters patent for manufacturing 

 these articles exclusively by the subscribers, hav- 

 ing been obtained, we would advise the Public a- 

 gainstany encroachment of the Patent Right ; — 

 and the person who shall give information o) 

 violation of this Patent Right, will be liberally re- 

 warded, by JOHN AVESTFIEl.h &CO 



The following recommendation from thespro 

 prietor of one of the largest houses of Refreh 

 the United States, must be perfectly sat- 

 isfactory as respects the utility and advantage oj 

 using the Zinc Hollow Ware 

 To J. Westfield & Co. 



Gentlemen, J have for some time past, 

 my establishvu nt, made use of your Hollow Ware 

 manufacturedfrom Zinc, and I have no hesita- 

 tion in saying that they completely answer my ex- 

 pectations, being fully as durable as iron or cop- 

 per, and not as easily corroded 'by rust, giving 

 the articles cooked in them no unpleasant taste, 

 and being more beautiful in appearance, and 

 much more easily cleaned than lufac- 



turedjrom any other metal at present mad 

 of in cooldng apparatus. I with pleasure recom- 

 mend them for genera! use, and have no doubt 

 that whoever will give them a fair trial will fntl 

 that they fully answer his c.rpectal ions. 



STEPHEN HOLT. 

 We have aho received the following recommen- 

 dation from Dr. A. G. Hull. 



.1. Westfield & Co. 

 Gentlemen, — With great pleasure I can assure 

 youof my entire satisfaction, as to the superiority 

 of your Zinc Hollow Ware, for the purposes of 

 the Diary and Kitchen.. 



The perfect preservation of Mi!!: in my Diary 

 during the warmest days of the past season, in- 

 duces me to give yours a decided preference to a- 

 ny others previously used, am! recommend them, 

 as a happy combination of neatness and durabili- 

 ty. Yours,<f-e. A. G. BULL, 132 Fulton
