paintings of animals, fruits, &c., forming quite an 
Agricultural Museum, worthy of special attention. 
The State Cabinet of Natural History, in the 
same building, is another place where one can be 
well entertained and instiucted, without fee or re¬ 
ward. The Cabinet embraces a great variety of 
specimens in Natural History, Geology, Mineral¬ 
ogy, &c., together with numerous Indian antiqui¬ 
ties, &c. Any one interested can spend from two 
to six hours here very pleasantly as well as profit¬ 
ably, and we advise all who can do so conveniently 
to visit the rooms of the Cabinet.
