The ingenious Mr.. Perkins, OF
Newburyport, was SO we'll convinced.
from reflection that the pretended
discovery of the principle of perpe
tuai motion by Mr.. Redhetfer, of
Philadelphia, was an error or was
an imposition, that he bet $4,000 in
support Of chat opinion. The result
has been in his favour. After a
reasonable time for experiment, his
opponent acknowledges he has lost
and the money viii! be paid.

adorn human society; while at the
same time, his own peace and quiet are.
,invulnerabls BY those yicissitudes and
cross accidents of life, to which the ig-
norant, the sensual, and the guilty are
forever exposed; and in the trying mo

Than pleasures giddy rage could ever

The sensual joys soon fly, but sooner

Shed DER life's rugged path cheering
And light our passage to the realms

IF these observations be correct, we
have the most powerful motives that can
actuate intelligent creatures, for The cul-
tivation of the mind, and the general ct
fusion OF useful and ornamental know
ledge. To promote individual happl'
ness and public prosperity. is equally
the wish of the philanthropist, and the
object of our political institutions to
disse minate those principles and senti-
ments which are favorable to the appre.
citation, enjoyment and perpetuation OF
rational liberty, is equally the interest
and duty of the patriot and the classical
scholar and these important ends are,
we believe, never so happily to be OBJ
tanned, as by the free circulation of sci.
entiic, literary and moral information
throughout every section of our beloved
country. Enjoying, therefore, in com
mon with our fellow citizens, the bless
ings of a free and happy government,
we are anxious to evince our gratitude,
by endeavoring to be useful as far as our
humble sphere may enable us and, as
the bee to his hive, to bring our mite
into the general stock of literature.

THE SEASON.


In May and June, the weather in the
Genesee Country was uncommonly wet !;
but since the middle of July We have ex-
psrienced severe and unrelepting
drought. The crops, as far as our IN
formation extends, will turn out nearly
as follow: =
Hay Large crop and generally we'll
cured.
Kheat.-A middling yield; a little
winter killed in some places, pretty tree
from smut and harvest though in toler-
able season.
Rye-Winter killed in many places,
small crop.
Oats in consequence OF the high
price of oats the slast year, the farmers
seemed to have We'd with each other IN
he culture Of this grain; their labors
lave been rewarded in abundance /; per-
haps there never was a greater harvest
IN the country.
Far-To every appearance will turn
cut well.
Corn-promises but little, injured by
early rains.
Potatoes and other Roots-Where
The ground is moist, natured and well
attended to, there will be good yield.
.dhhks and other Frmt-Not very
plenty In Ontario County, which last
year made cider for transportation, there
will not be enough made for their own
consumption.
