PRESERVATION or StEDII.—A late celebrated Peruvian
botanist has asserted, that the most delicate seeds of Amer:-
can plants may be sent to Europe in the highest preserva-
tion, by being enveloped in that kind of raw brown sugar
which always keeps its humidity. When the seeds are to
he sown, it is only requisite to immerse them in lukewarm
water, which will take off the sugar.—lfousekeepr's

WONDERFUL EFFECT OF WIND.--On Thursday /fen-
night, at one o'clock in the afternoon, as the lahouters were
busily employed in carting a large field of barley on the
estate of George Musgrave, Esq., Apsley Bury, Shillngton,
in this county, their work was in an instant arrested by
the rising of one of the most extraordinary whirlwinds
ever experienced in that part of England. The whole of
the cocks of barley were simultaneously carried up into the
air, to the height of seventy or eighty feet, and then, loos-
ing from their bands, fell in scattered parcels again upon
the field, with the exception of one solitary sheaf, which
was whirled off at a surprising height in the air, over the
whole eitent of Shillington and Pegaden lands, leaving
Heston to the right, and flying with amazing velocity over
the Barton Hills, at the distance of at least three miles
from the field where it originally stood. The bailiff, super-
intending the farmers' men, watched the flight of this aeri-
al traveller till it was carried entirely out of sight, towards
Barton-in-the-Clay. It is remarkable, that at the very
time of this occurrence the sultriness of the day was ex-
tremely oppressive, and afterwards continued so; the wind
being at the east point, after having been some time sta-
tionary nerth-cast.—Hanfingdon Gazeltd..
