RETURNS his thanks for past favors, and begs leave to inform 

 his friends and the public in general, that his catalogue for 

 1651 is now ready, and may be had on application to his agent, 

 Mr. E. Bc>.s.sange, 138 Pearl street, New York. He offers for sale a 

 large collection of the finest forest, fruit, and ornamental trefS of 

 all kinds, shrubs. Sec, iic. The superior quality of his trees is 

 already known in the United States, and the experience he has 

 in packing up trees to be sent abroad, gives him a noted advan- 

 tage over all other nurserymen- Orders should be sent early, as, 

 although his nursery is the largest in France, the number of some 

 new kinds of trees are limited, and some of the last orders sent 

 last year could not be executed. The terms, prices, charges, and 

 all desired information will be found iu his catalogue. The trees 

 will be shipped to the care of his agent in New York, who will at- 

 tend to the receiving and forwarding. Fcr further particulars, 

 and for the catalogue, apply to 



E. BOciSANQE, 138 Pearl street. New York.

HuTctle Fence. 



ANEW and improved fence, much superior to anything of the 

 kind now in use. formed of wrought iron, possessing therein 

 an unusual degree of elasticity and strength. When properly 

 constructed and well placed, thi-y will endure for years, and never 

 need repair. The improvement consists iu the modo of securing 

 the rails or wires. Instead of the eyes used in the older kind 

 through which the bolts pass to bind and strengthen the fabric, 

 the fence is now made in sectional parts, with slats in the posts, 

 so arranged that when m place they bleak joints with each other. 

 This slat in one section extends Upwards, and in the other down- 

 wards, and each rail is furnished with a loop, or dead eye, turned 

 on each end. which prevents it from passing through the slats. 

 The usual screws are placed a distance of about three hundred 

 feet apart. The entire fence may be tightened and prepared on 

 the grour.d before it is set up. The iron clamps at the foot of 

 each post are so turned as to present a flat surface of resisteuce 

 to the earth. Price $1,50 per rod ; 12>i cents in addition, if 

 painted. For sale by the Patentee-s Agent.

Wanted. 



WITHIN one, two, three, or four months at farthest, an hon- 

 est, industrious young m.in, acquainted with the dairy bu-

 milk in market. For such a one, I will give $180.00 a year, paya- 

 ble monthly, and will board the same at my own house free of ex- 

 pense. I will also give the same to a good gardener— one that is 

 acquainted with raising vegetables for market. No one need be 

 afraid of sickness in coming to Memphis. I have 25 in family, and 

 bavo not had any sickness in five years. I do not believe there ij 

 a healthier place in the I'nited States. B. R. THOM.VS
