Remarks. —Corn and Pork have advanced slightly since our 
last, while Hay has receded somewhat in price. 
The IVeather, though rather cold and rainy, has nevertheless 
proved very auspicious generally for the growing crops. The 
Wheat and Rye are all harvested at the south, and turn out 
well. At the north, the small grains are highly promising, and 
fast ripening for the sickle. Of Grass,'we never saw a greater 
growth. If the weather prove reasonably favorable this month, 
an unusual quantity of hay will be made. Corn and Roots are 
looking finely. The early potatoes are turning out uncommonly 
well, and as ye t, we hear of no rot among them. Sugar, Cotton, 
Rice, and Tobacco, with few exceptions, promise well. We 
have heard of some damage by the army worm, the wheat 
fly, rust, winter kill, &c. &c., but in so extensive a country as 
ours, such things are to be expected. However, complaints are 
fewer this year than we have ever known them. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from M. Thayer, Cato, W. R. Gray, and F. R. S. 
Killing Apple- Tree Bon s by Electricity. —W. B. W., of Fish- 
ldll, N. Y. You ask ifth- application of electricity with a ma¬ 
chine of sufficient power l - kill the apple-tree borer could be done 
without injury to the tie -. We think it could not, as nothing 
short of a thunderbolt, in the way of electricity, would have 
much effect on the borer, when he is imbedded in the trunk of 
the tree. If any means could be devised to communicate a shock 
of electricity from any ordinary machine, directly 7 upon these in¬ 
sects, instantaneous death would doubtless occur. We have 
heard several accounts of late where small birds were found dead 
suspended by their claws on the wires of telegraphs, which were 
supposed to have been killed by the electric fluid.
