IMPORTANT,

The peculiar property of the Conchi-
cum seeds in allaying irritation of the
windplpe, lungs, sc. and thereby re-
moving the causes of asthma and con-
sumption, is the greatest discovery that
has been made in medicine. 1t appears
bv the last number Of the monthly Ga
zette of health published on Friday
that few doses OF the SYRUP will efTec-
tually remove the SYMPTOMS of asthma,
and arrest incipicnt consumption, and in
a few days it will restore the patient to
health and that the wine of the seeds,
combined with all alkal, as speedily
cures the govt and rheumatism So ex-
lraordlnary has been the salutary effects
of these new remedies in those diseases
that the editors do not hesitate to pro-
nounce them specific. The other infor-
nation this popular medical, dietetic,
and Philosophical Journal contains, par
ticularly the exposition of literary quack-
cry, compositions of nostrums, and dis
graceful practices OF certain praCtition-
ers, &c. will become highly Interesting.

this sort should be generally known and
spread. The seed can now be obtained
at a fair price. The best way of cult
waiting them is to turn up green sward in
the fall, where summer fallow is in
tended to be made the following season.
Sow the pease by the goth of April, and
drag them in, two bushels to the acre,
and when the pease are off, by once
ploughing, the land is in good order for
wheat-better than three times ploughed
as fallow-and peas leave land loose
and in excellent order for wheat or any
other crop.

Montreal, March II.

Canadian KorSes-I'he hardy Nor
man race IN this province, has long been
remarkable for vigor and perseverance !;
qualities, OF which the following seems a
sufficiently strong example. Amember
of our house of assembly, with a COM
panion, driver, and baggage, set out from
Quebec, in one horse corrlole, las
Sunday morning at niue O'Clock, and ar
rived iii this city on Tuesday al about
three in the afternoon. As they did not
hurry their meals, curtall their rest, nor
travel later than seven in the evening, il
may be fairly computed that they did not
devote to the journey more than halt OF
the twenty-four hours, and consequently
accomplished the distance 1870 miles,
in 81 hours, without changing horses.
If, iii addition to this, it be considered
that so miles OF the road had been, by
the moist weather, rendered very heavy
for winter carriage; and that the ira
vellers did not cross lake St. Peter, by
which the route would have been con-
sderably shortened, we shall not, we
imagine, be considered singular in re-
garding the performance as one OF no
ordinary character. @

From THE AMERICAN FARMER
ON PEAR TREES.

We had, Mr. E ltor, SOue weeks ago,
commune alton from my friend Syl-
vanus q call him friend because we fire.
auently agree in notions) on the subject
of the cause of decay in Pear trees. This
paper have mislaid, but as he stated a
fact not generally known respecting the
pear tree in that communication, and as
| consider it duty each member owes
the agricultural or horticultural conf
nunity to support the truth Of such FACTS.
when in their power, take the liberty
also of stating fact in confederation of
his fact; but do not assent to his rea-
soning on the subject.
About Is years ago projected con-
siderable fruitery on one side OF my
garden, in which the choicest fruit from
New-York and this state is assembled..--
AT the time Pear trees were regularly
planted on the ground, at near distances
for such trees; and between them was
planted each way, Peach trees, and |
supposed as the latter were OF quick
growth and short lived, that they would
have their day on the ground, before the
pears would come on; bat in this was
mistaken; the Peach trees are still near
ly all alive; but the Pears grew up so
quick as to injure their bearing and quail
ty of fruit materially. The ground is
literally covered with trees, and the con-
sequence has been, as my friend says,
that the Pear trees are exceedingly
healthy and vigorous, having never yet
lost tree nor limb until last year
single limb. This has been subject of
remark in this neighborhood, where
there has Jeen considerable havoc among
the valuable Pears. Several gentlemen
also Of your city have seen them with
surprise and admiration. Sylvanus, il |
recollect right, ascribes the prosperity OF
his trees, to scions and other shady
shrubbery, which he supposes, takes off
the too great fertility ofthe soil, and con-
sequently subtracts or prevents what he
supposes would be suherabundantju juices,
from the trees. have ascrbed my sue
cess to different cause, to wit, to shade
alone; and have concluded that the
destruction is done by stroke OF the
sun, not upon the tree, but upon the
earth and roots, il l may so express my
self. Three years ago one of my trees
standing on the outer edge ofthe ground,
in a very severe drought, was suddenly
struck apparently as dead as if it had
been cut down; at least the whole leaves
assumed precisely the same fallen ap-
nearance. As soon as discovered it, l
had the earth for some distance round
the tree we'll watered at night, then
covered with cart load ofsea weed, and
again watered, and the tree again soon
recovered its health and vigour, and so
continued From these facts, it neither
Sylvanus nor have drawn practical con-
illusions, somebody else perhaps may.

ON CHEESE MAKING,

As practised at one of the most eminent Diaries
in New-Engand, communicated at the re-
quest ofthe Editor of the American Farmer
SIH-Agreeable to your request we
have obtained from our brother, Leonard
Hurlbert, brief account of his manner
of making Cheese, which we enclose
you for publication if you deem it wor-
thy of place in your useful paper.
Ills manner of making Cheese we sup
pose to be as perfect as any yet discover
ed, as his cheese is of an excellent quail
ty, and is known in Baltimore as SUCH
specimens of which probably may be
seen at Barnum's Tavern, and at
M Clure & Foltze, and MARBLE & Will
lians' stores, who have had of the dairy
for number of years past. Yours re-
specially.

What is Man i? The celebrated pa
triot and orator, Lord Erskine, formerly
Lord High Chancellor OF England, &c.
has lately made himself resident of
Edinburgh, in Scotland, for the space OF
40 days, to obtain sufficient domicile to
enable him to obtain divorce from his
wife, in the Commissary Court Of Edin-
burgh.-But this domicillation was con-
tested by the Lady, and his Lordship,
eminent as he is as lawyer, was obliged
to abandon his plan, and institute new
suit in the English Consistorial Court.
1t will be recollected, that about two
years since this Ex-Lord Chancellor
took a trip, in the disguise Of sailor,
and at the age OF IS, to Gren,na-Green,
to be married, in the summary way OF

Extraordinary case.-M. Gourbillon,
in his travels in Sicily, in 1919, gives
the following strange statement:
i" Nothing is more remarkable, says
Nj. Gourbillon, than the constitution of
the consulatos Of this city, Messina.--
The American consul is Russian the
Russian consul German; the German
consul Dutchman; the Dutch consul
a Swiss; the Neapolitan consul "a
Frenchman and the French consul is a
Neapolitan. Not one Of them has ever
been in the country which employs him,
nor can speak its language. These are
six nations very singularly represented !!
These consuls are, however, good sort
Of people, who occupy themselves very
steadily with their affairs and the last
mentioned Of them is musician and
poet, and plays i'll enough indeed on the
flute"

The Methodiats.-This religious sect
is said, in late publication, to amount
in England to nearly one million Of per-
sons, although in the year 1920 they had
diminished about six thousand. 1t is
stated that the number Of members are
exactly ascertained by each paying one
penny week to support their preachers,
which amount to l.2l2,632 sterling per
annnm that the I" collections for educa-
ting the sons of the priests and for va
rous other purposes" make the whole
taxes, levied annually upon each number,
amount to ten shil!ings, making total
offive hundred thousand pounds sterling,
or about two millions three hundred
thousand dollars, which, according to
the statement, in the publication alluded
to, Sc is sufficient to pay 10000 preach
ers, at fifty pound sterling a year each,
besides all that they receive in the way
of food, lodging, and other items, that go
towards maintaining them in ease and
plenty" These facts speak volumes.
1t is, however, but just to say, that no re-
ligious sect has done more to reform the
vices of the lower orders than the me-
thodists -.4dvocate.
