The City compared with the Country—A Railway

Manufactures — Cayuga Bridge — Auburn 
Straw Cutters and Cultivators■—The Crops 
and Rural Improvements. 
To those who reside in the fresh and beautiful 
country, their first visit to the city seems an era to 
be remembered. So many novelties attract the 
attention—so much of hustle and activity is shown 
in everything they meet—the buildings appear so 
magnificent when contrasted with what they deem 
their humble cottages at home, that their senses 
are quite captivated by the elegance and luxury, 
S which in imagination they picture as the every day 
^ enjoyments of the dwellers in the city. Nothing 
) save a residence amid these piles of brick and 
I mortar, and the sameness and confinement of con- 
( tinually threading the same paved thoroughfares, 
) could fully satisfy them of the great superiority of 
> their Rural homes, in the true felicities of exist- 
farther east fearsjof the weevil. A decided im¬ 
provement has taken place within the last three 
years in the style and neatness of rural residences 
and out houses, while we have good reason to be¬ 
lieve the whole system of farm tillage has been at 
the same time improving, though far yet, from 
being what it should be. 
We hope to be enabled to offer something of 
more interest to the general reader, i r we find 
time to jot down a few more notes while on our 
Literary Notices, &c. 
Fresh Gleanings; or, A New Sheaf from the 
Old Fields of Continental Europe. By Ik. 
Marvel. New Y'ork; Charles Scribner. 1851. 
Thanks to the publisher; we have now, uniform 
with our favorite “ Reveries of Bachelor,” Ik. 
Marvel’s first essay at book making. He has 
gathered here fresh sheaves of flower* and grain, 
from the oft-gleaned fields of Europe,—with him 
we see the world of Paris, pass through the coun- i 
try towns and slop at the inns of France, take a ! 
pipe with the Dutchmen, and learn more of the 
people and the country on our route—than we 
could as pleasantly, perhaps, in any other way.

A little volume giving some of the most prom¬ 
inent events of the history of Old Plymouth, and 
illustrated by several engravings. It is the first of 
a series on kindred subjects, which can hardly fail 
of being both Valuable and interesting to young 
people, for whom they are more especially intend¬ 
ed. For sale by Sage & Brother, Rochester,

pens of American Ladies—and Graham's Month- 
lv has a whole galaxy of contributions from our 
brightest Literary stars. D. M. Dewey, Agent,

The Crystal Palace Beaten. 
Dr. Duff, in his speech at the anniversary 
meeting of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary- 
Society in London, thus described one of the 
Heathen Temples of India; 
“ In Seringham you have the hugest heathen 
temple that can probably be found from the North 
to the South pole. It is a square, each side being 
a mile in length, so lhai it is four miles round.— 
Talk of your Crystal Palace! Why, as a man 
would put a penny in his pocket, you might put 
your Crystal Palace into the pocket of this huge 
pagoda. The walls are 25 feet high and 4 or 5 
feet thick, and in the centre of each wall rises a 
lofty tower. Entering the first square you come 
to another with a wall as high, and four more tow¬ 
ers. Within that square there is another, and 
within that again another—crowded by thousands 
of Brahmins. The great hall for pilgrims is sup¬ 
ported by a thousand pillars, each cut out of a sin¬ 
gle block of stone.” 
How to Detect Altered Bills.— Within a 
short time we have had occasion to remind our 
readers to beware of several altered bills on Banks 
in this State; and as the business appears to -be 
increasing, the following good advice, which we 
take from Thompson’s Detector, if heeded, may 
be the means of preventing imposition: 
“ You cannot too closely scrutenize the larger 
bills passing through your hands, as every genu¬ 
ine note offers to the adept in this system a sub¬ 
ject for practicing his art, and many of the facul¬ 
ty do it to a nicety scarcely- to be detected. It is 
done by pasting the figures 3, 5, 10, Ac., over Is 
or 2s, and the words expressing the original value 
of the bill, such as One, Two, Ac., are defaced, or 
sometimes erased by the aid of acids, and the fic¬ 
titious value substituted. 
“Hold the bill to the light, when the pasted 
parts will appear dark and thick, (or if erased by 
acids, thin and worn.) If not able to detect in 
this way, moisten that part of the note aroynd 
the figures or words expressing the denomina¬ 
tion, sufficiently to soften the paste, and scrape 
it with the finger nail or a knife, when the part 
pasted on will show itself.”

Union College.— The Literary Anniversaries 
of Union College, will be held in the Presbyterian 
Church, in Schenectady, during the 20th, 2lst,

Esq., of New York, and the Poem is to be pro¬ 
nounced by S. Mills Day, of Ithaca. 
legislature at few f’ork. 
To the denizen of the pent up town, breathing j 
the impu*e air of the crowded, filthy-, and dusty 
or reeking streets, nothing is more gratifying than 
a flying visit to the country, where fresh and fra¬ 
grant Nature puts on her bloom and verdure, and 
with smiles of sunshine and loveliness, welcomes 
him to her embrace. For a few days this has been 
our pastime, never better realized, and nevermore 
satisfactorily enjoyed. 
After a brief railway ride, we found a scene of 
unsurpassed beauty and promise spread before us, 
in the rich and highly cultivated fields of Seneca 
county. Waterloo was our first tarrying place.— 
This, as many of our readers are aware, is a thri¬ 
ving town devoted principally to milling and 
manufactures — the power being obtained from 
Seneca River, and both permanent and abundant. 
Much attention has ben given to woolen fabrics, 
and our fair friends are doubtless well acquainted 
with the beauty and comfort of the “ Waterloo 
Shawls,” which are excelled, if by anything 
American —only by those of the celebrated “ Bay- 
State Mills.” 
Passing on, we tarried a few hours at Seneca 
Falls, and were much pleased with the general 
activity of the place. Many branches of manu¬ 
factures are thriving here, among which, pumps, 
sash and blinds, and farming implements have a 
preponderance. Continuing the ride a few miles, 
we reached the noted Cayuga Bridge—which 
many a hardy pioneer of Western New York well 
remembers, ^id to which politicians have often 
turned an anxious thought as passing majorities, 
which should decide the fate of their favorite can¬ 
didate. Its glory is fast departing—it clatters un¬ 
der the tread of the solitary passenger, while in 
close proximity in a more substantial way, the iron 
horse speeds snorting along, mirrored for the mo¬ 
ment in the crystal waters of the lovely Cayuga. 
We passed the night at Auburn, and spent the 
morning very agreeably, looking around the busi¬ 
ness portion of the town. Messrs. Watkoub & 
Osborne exhibited some very fine straw cutters of 
the Hovey pattern put up by themselves, also a 
com and field cultivator of great excellence. In 
both branches of manufacture they are doing a 
good business. 
In almost every place, we hear a favorable ac¬ 
count of the growing crop, and think the yield of 
wheat cannot but be abundant. There are some 
complaints of the devastations of the insect, and

low lands in Massachusetts.

20th. A warm, rainy morning. Honey locust 
in flower; also clammy locust. 
22st. Rainy morning—showery until eve. 
22nd. Warm morning—sultry day. Shower 
about 3 P. M., with thunder. Warmest day of the 
season. 
23rd. Delightful day vegetation looking very 
fine. 
Strawberries. —We are indebted to M. G. 
Warner, of this city, for a basket of “ Burr’s 
New Pine,”—one of the most delicious of straw¬ 
berries. This excellent fruit is now just in season, 
and we seo from the Report of the Horticultural 
Exhibition that Mr. W. has prime specimens of all 
the choicest varieties. 
A Stringent Measure. —Mr. Burroughs gave 
notice yesterday-of a bill, providing that any officer 
of any railroad in the State of New Y'ork, who 
should issue a free ticket to any person or persons, 
other than its officers and laborers, should he liable 
on conviction of such misdemeanor, to six months 
imprisonment in a county jail and a fine of $1,- 
000. It subjected any Judge, Senator, or Mem¬ 
ber of Assembly, who accepted a free ticket, to the 
same fine and term of imprisonment.— Alb. Atlas. 
Deepening the St. Lawrence. —A report has 
been made to the Canadian Parliament, in favor 
of deepening the St Lawrence. Mr. Meritt sta¬ 
ted that for from ten to fifteen thousand pounds, 
the navigation might be opened so as to permit of 
a vessel descending from Lake Ontario to the Sea 
with 10,000 barrels of flour. 
Western House of Refuge. —The new wing 
upon the south side of the House of Refuge is 
very nearly completed, and will be ready for use 
early in July. The Hall fora school room in this 
wing is probably the best in tho State for the pur¬ 
pose designed. Some material improvements have 
been adopted in the construction of this wing, by 
which a larg3 number of dormitories are obtained 
without greatly increasing the expense. The es¬ 
tablishment, under the judicious supervision of 
Mr. Wood, and his assistant, Mr. Fisher, is fully- 
meeting the expectations formed in regard to its 
usefulness. The school is also in a promising con¬ 
dition. There are now over one hundred inmates 
in the institution, all of whom arc employed in 
somo useful trade. Strangers who have occasion 
to stop for a short time here, should not fail to visit 
the Refuge.— Dcm. 
Protective Unions.— The N. Y. Tribune of a 
late date says:—At Weedsport, Cayuga county, 
an Association has been 'brmed under the name 
of “The Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Protection 
Company.” The list of subscribers comprises the 
most intelligent and wealthy farmers in that region 
and the prospects of the uew association are very- 
encouraging. Stock toihe amount of $10,000 has 
been already taken, and 10 per cent, paid thereon. 
The object is to make the farmers and mechanics 
their own buyers and sellers in .'^e best markets, 
under such an arrangement as shail -elieve them 
from the necessity of supporting a large class of 
non-producers, and enable them to put into their 
own pockets the large profits which that class ab¬ 
sorb under the present system of commericial ex¬ 
changes. 
The Church Suit. —The suit brought by the 
Commissioners of the M. E. Church South, for a 
portion of the proceeds of the book concern of the 
M. E. Church, has been tried before Judges Nel¬ 
son and Betts, in the United States Circuit Court, 
for the Southern District of Now York. The trial 
commenced on the 19th ult., and ended on the 
29th. The Court did not give a decision in the 
case, but recommended to the parties an amicable 
adjustment of the matter in dispute between them; 
and mlimated that such ad justment, if made, would 
receive the sanction of the Court. We learn from 
the Christian Advocate and Journal, that the Book 
Agents have made the offer.
