Remarks. —In Grain, Flour, Beef, and Pork, there has been a 
decline in price since our last; and we afe of opinion that this 
will gradually continue till the canals open. The farmers will do 
well to sell their produce now as fast as convenient. Hay, a 
slight advance. Very little change in other articles. 
Money is more abundant. 
The Weather thus far has been unprecedentedly mild, and we 
are looking for an early spring.

MOUNT AIRY AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE. 
THE subscriber having rented the Mount Airy Farm, the 
late residence (f James Gowen, Esq., with all its extensive and 
eligible appliances for the purposes of a Farm School, will re¬ 
move his school, now the Duchess Agricultural Institute, of 
Duchess Co., N. Y., to the above place, where he will open for 
the summer term on the first Thursday of April next; after 
which it wiil be known as the Mount Airy Agricultural Institute. 
The winter term will commence on the first Thursday of Octo¬ 
ber. This farm, which is located on the Germantown Road, 7 
miles from Philadelphia, Pa., having been so long known as the 
model farm of the United States, the site being proverbially 
beautiful and healthful, a minute description is deemed unneces¬ 
sary ; suffice it to say, that it presents every inducement and de¬ 
sirable facility for the establishment and maintenance of an Ex¬ 
perimental, Practical, and Scientific Agricultural Institute. 
The course of instruction will be such as to give the students 
every facility for acquiring a thorough knowledge of Scientific and 
Practical Agriculture, with the use of the best moderii farm ma¬ 
chinery and implements, together with a select farmers’ library, 
including numerous Agricultural Periodicals. Instructions will 
also be given in all the collateral branches requisite to insure the 
great desideratum which it was the object of the Founder and 
Principal to supply by an education commensurate with the 
exalted destinies of a landed interest. 
Chemistry and the other Natural Sciences receive particular 
attention—lectures with full experimental illustrations being con¬ 
nected with each course. The zoonic course will commence 
with the horse, a perfect skeleton of which being provided for 
illustration. 
The best facilities are also afforded, that those who desire may 
here acquire a Commercial Education, to the end that they may- 
lay the foundation in youth of a future life that shall be agreea¬ 
ble, healthful, and useful. 
Fee for the year, $200, payable semi-annually in advance. This 
sum includes Tuition, Board, Washing, Fuel, and Lights. An 
extra charge of $12.00 per annum will be made for pupils not fur¬ 
nishing their own bedding and toilet furniture. The modern 
languages $10 each extra per term, as also drawing. 
This institution is under the patronage of the American Agricul¬ 
tural Institute, the Farmer’s Club of the American Institute, and 
the Duchess Agricultural Society. 
For further particulars, address JOHN WILKINSON, 
Principal of the Duchess Ag. Institute. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and 
after the 20th of March, of the Mount Airy Agricultural Insti¬ 
tute, Philadelphia. Pa.
