Then follows the representation OF a

horrible likeness is drawn for we pretend
not to indulge the conjecture. We should

the picture is ovarcharged. Il appears to
-Se one Of the wild, exeravagant monsters
OF Fussii. Still less can we imagine that
man Of Mr.. Clinton's standing in society
could possibly make himseH the associate
Of such a fi-nd.
This Is accompanied BY another portrait,
equally hideaus from The same bold and

ON CUTTING PUSHES.

The best times, says the curious and
learned DIR. Elliot, in his sixth essay or
Field Husbandry, are, in the months of
June, July and August, in the old Of the
moon, and on the day the sign is in the
heart. He says, on one Of these days he
sent man to make trial: in going to
the place, some Of bis neighbours saw him,
and learning tie reason, went to their
land and cut bushes also on that day their
bushes were tall and had never been cut,
his were short. such as had been often
cut, but to no purpose, without it was
to increase their numbers; the conse
quence Of this trial was, that in every
place it killed SO universally, that there is
not left alive scarce one in a hundred. -
The trial has been made in several places
on the same day, with the same success,

(From late English publication.)
A discovery of'consIderable Importance
has been announced, with regard to the
preservation of corn. To preserve Rye
and secure it from insects ard rats, no
thing more is necessary than nor TO fan Il
after it is threshgd, and to stow it in th@
granaries mixed VITA the chat. In this
state it has been kept more than three
years, without experiencing the smallest
alterations, and even without the necessity
of beng turned to preserve it from huipi
dity and fermentation. Rats and nice
may be prevented from entering the barn,
by putting some wild vine orihrdge plants
upon the heaps the smell Of this woods
so offensive to these animals that they viii
not approach it. The experiment. has
not yet been made with any other kinds
of gram, but they may probably be pre-
served in the chat wiki equal advantage.
