witli a box of sod, and brought a sod W 
in 1818; but neither of my efforts (for want or 
proper attention after its arrival) have succeed¬ 
ed in getting it growing here. It grows well in 
Virginia, and 1 think would grow very well 
here. I shall sow some of the seed this fall.— 
Clover, I am told, will answer well for tall pas¬ 
ture if kept up until frost, and then pastured.

John sieves Symmes will attend in person 
for a few days at the Cincinnati Hotel, where 
| he requests that those who are willing to aid him 
[inthe prosecution of h s philosophical pursuit 
; will call and eiiher leaden a long credit, or 
J. gratuitously subscribe, such sums as they may 
i readily spare towards enabling him to accom¬ 
plish his meditaied journey to the Atlantic 
States, for the purpose of there raising a sum, 
(by like loans or subscriptions) sufficient to put 
it in his power to present himself in a suitable 
[.manner before our national government, (or 
any foreign power) in quest of an exploring 
outfit. T ben J. C. S is not at the Hotel him¬ 
self, the subscription paper will be found at 
the bar. 
"To the 'laborers in the vineyard of Christian¬ 
ity he hopes to open a new and extensive field 
fop'the propagation of the gospel; to the phil 
ant-hropist, an equal opportunity of extending 
the advantages of civilization ; and to the mer¬ 
chant, a new field for commerce.. He therefore 
calculates on their assistance.
