A VIEW OF CASTLE GARDEN. — Drawn and Engraved Expressly for the American Agriculturist. 
Castle Garden may be regarded as the hop¬ 
per, into which is poured the raw material 
that is soon to be converted into American 
citizens. In its management it is most bene¬ 
ficent, as it receives the new comer—weary 
with an ocean voyage, dazed at everything 
around him new and strange—and starts him 
for his new home, which, in the majority 
of cases, is somewhere at the West. The 
scene after an arrival, when the officials 
are finding out the destinations of the im¬ 
migrants is chosen for the above engraving.
