A merchant of this city, who sent letter

received an answer thereto by the schooner
Mary Ann, which arrived here on Monday.
The Empress made her run in 78, and the

GEN. WILLIAM floyd,

Who died at Western Oh the 4th inst
was one of the few remaining patriots
who signed the Declaration OF our In4e
pendence. Being early engaged in op-
posing the encroachments of Great Bri
tain upon our rights and liberties, and
ardently active in promoting the happi-
ness and independence of his country
he was chosen delegate from the county
OF Suffolk, TO a Congress of the Colonies
OF North America, held at Philadelphia
on the 5th OF Sept. IVA, of which he re
NAMED member until nearly the close
Of the revolution.
On that memorable and trying day, the
18th of July 1870, when the indie pendence
OF America was declared-whie the Bri-
fish were upon his estates, and giving him
foretaste of the destruction that awaited
him and all those who were pledging their
lives, fortunes and sacred honor, in the
support OF that doubtful project, should it
fail, we find him enrolling his name a
mong those of the patriots who were will
ling 70 risk all that was personal to them.
selves for the freedom OF their country.
After the close Of the struggle, and
having passed the most active years of
bis life in various public situations, al
ways enjoying the confidence and affsc-
ton OF his fellow citizens, he left his es-
tate in Suffolk, and at the age of about
60, as if IN the vigor of his years, took up
his residence in the then wilderness, now
the cultivated valley of Western, in the
county of Oneida, where he has passed
the remainder of his days, in retirement,
retaining his usual relish for social en-
joyments, his love of friends, his strength
of memory, and all the faculties of his
mind. His health was generally good, so
that he attended to the ordinary cares &
employments Of rural fife. At last an
attack upon the breast caused him sud
denly to sink into the arms of death, with
very little pain of body, and great sereni.
ty of mind
He has left an aged and worthy widow;
also children and grand children, & many
relatives, and friends to feel his loss. His
fellow citizens and neighbors, who have
for many years enjoyed the friendship s.
advice OF venerable patriot, will long
hold him in afect,onate remembrance,
and his country will embalm his deeds &
his character among those who have be-
slowed lasting blessings upon mankind.

The virtue of this shrub, which IL found

The following account of the disinterr
ing the remains of Major Andre, was
landed us by an eye witness, accompan-
led by his request to publish the same.
This event took place at TraPPan, on
Friday 10th inst at ], P. NJ amidst a
considerable concourse of ladies and gen
tlenen that assembled to witness this in
teresting ceremony. The British Consul
with several gentlemen, accompanied by
the proprietor Of the ground and his Ia
bourer, commenced the operations at / l
O'Clock, by removing the heap of loose
stones that surrounded & partly covered
.he grave. Great caution was observed
in taking up a small peach tree that was
growing out of the grave, as the Consul
stated his intention of sending it to his
Majesty to be placed in one OF the Royal
Gardens. Considerable anxiety was felt
lest the coffin would not be found. as va
rious rumors existed of its having been
removed many years ago. However,
when at the depth of three feet, the Ia
bourers came to it. The lid was broken
in the centre and had partly fallen in, but
was kept up by resting on the scull. The
lid being raised, the skeleton OF the brave
Andre appeared entire; bone to bone,
each in its place, without vestige of any
other part of his remains save some OF his
hair, which appeared in small tufts; and
the only part of his dress was the leather
string which tied it. AS soon as the Gu
riosity of the spectators was gratitied, a
large circle was formed, when MIR. Eggle-
so, the undertaken, with his assis ants, un-
covered the sarcophagus, into which the
remains were carefully removed-this

AGRICULTURAL CALENDER.
AUGUST.

The farmer stands in no need of iEstru-
ments to kill time; but let him employ his
bush scythe and hook indrstriousy this
month in killing the noxious shrubs and
bushes; The sap is now up and doing, &
for this reason, labor is more protilaby
bestowed on this kind of business in Au-
gust than at any other period of the year.
The branch being now destroyed, the
root will soon die.
Have you a supply Of hay of the first
cutting for your stock? If SO, pray be
advised to cut no rowen This is gene
raj rule. There may be some exceptions.
Nothing but necessity can justify the
farmer to crop his NOV lands with tho
scyths more than once a year; and that
necessity, if yielded to, will be very likely
to continue with this practice. Starving
land, though not SO inhuman, is quite as
improbable as starving cattle. The
scythe in autumn takes off the winter gar.
ment; it rObs the land, not only of tho
manure, which nature strives to afford by
the aftermath, but exposes the roots of
the grass to the chilling, killing winds Of
winter. Should you attempt to remedy
this evil by coat of artificial manure
either in the autumn or spring, you will
find the growth of the succeeding season
later and more feeble than it would have
been if the second growth had been left to
decompose on the ground, Besides, this
is the cheapest manure; it is ready out &
we'll spread. you are afraid the rowen
will be too luxuriant, turn in your oxen &
cows (no horses) for short time before
the frosts set in.
This is esteemed the best month to sow
Rye. 1t should have time to take root g.
spread before the ground freezes; less
seed is necessary, if sown now than alta
later period.
