nature, in all the forms to which she was accessible to 
his observation, and was remarkable for the extensive 
fund of knowledge he had collected, under comparative¬ 
ly limited opportunities. He was ardently devoted to 
the interests of agriculture and horticulture, in which 
he rendered the community important benefits,—though 
laboring for years under infirm health. A letter lately 
received from James L. Child, Esq., of Augusta, thus 
notices his death: “ Our old friend Payne Wingate, is 
in his grave —quite a loss, I assure you, to several of 
us, who often visited him, to talk over matters and 
things in general, touching the interests of agricul¬ 
ture, &c.” 
CfCfp We hear with much regret, of the death of 
Mr. Thomas Noble, of Massilon, Ohio. Mr. N. was 
one of the best and most successful farmers-with whom 
we have ever been acquainted. He was an English¬ 
man, but had resided on the farm where he died for 
several years, and had been of great advantage to the 
section by the excellent examples he gave in the vari¬ 
ous departments of husbandry. His name will be 
recollected as an occasional correspondent of the Cul¬ 
tivator. 
About a page of “ Monthly Notices,” are ne- 
oessarily deferred till next month.
