Method of increasing the Odour of Roses. 

 For this purpose, according to the author of the method, a large 

 onion is to be planted by the side of the rose-tree in such a manner 

 that it shall touch the foot of the latter. The roses which will be 

 produced will have an odour much stronger and more agreeable 

 than such as have not been thus treated, and the water distilled 

 from these roses is equally superior to that prepared by means of 

 ordinary rose leaves. — CEkonom. J\''euigk. ; — Bull. Univ. 



Caramanian, or Camblet Woolled Sheep. 

 A half-blood Buck of the Caramanian, or Camblet Woolled 

 Sheep, has been received by the Editor, from New-Jersey. The 

 sire of this was brooght from Caramania, in Asia Minor. This 

 breed of sheep are of a large size, their wool long and coarse, re- 

 gembling the fleece of the Angora Goat, (exceping its color,) from 

 which the best of the Camblets are manufactured. 



It may appear to some of our readers, that we have taken up 

 too much of our Mechanical department with the subject of timber, 

 and Com. Barron's remarks upon Naval constructions. In all con- 

 structions or buildings, of any size or expense, it is of the utmost 

 importance that the best materials and the best method should be 

 adopted. We do not build for ourselves only, but for posterity 

 also ; or at least we ought to. This sentiment applies particularly 

 to our Navy ; and every person who pays a tax, is directly interest- 

 ed in it, as it is his money in part, which is expended. A 74 costs 

 too much of the hard earnings of our mechanics and farmers, to be 

 slightly put together. It should be so constructed, and of such ma- 

 terials, that it may not only be a wall of defence to us, but to our 

 children and our childrens' children. Too much attention cannot 

 be given to the subject.
