.4gricultme.--We are gratifed to learn,
that plan has been devised by the Ag-
ricultural Society of Albemarle county,
Virginia, for the institution of Profes-
sOrship Of agriculture, in the university
of that State. For this purpose, the
society have appropriated one thousand
dollars of their funds and Mr.. Madison,
the president of The Board, has prepar-
ed an address to the other societies in
Virginia setting forth the advantages of
such professorshiP, and soliciting SINH
lar appropriations.
From the influence enlisted in favour
of this plan, there can be little doubt
= that it will be carried into execution
and Virginia will have the honour Of
setting an example, which we hope may
be initiated in other parts of the coun-
try. This is one of those subjects on
which much has been said, but little
done; and although we have professor
ships of almost every kind, it is believed
none of our Universities have one for
Agriculture. This neglect of the most
important of all sciences and arts is I'M
accountable, and highly censurable in a
Country so extensive and so. fertile in
soil as ours, where Agriculture has been
and long will be the most prominent in
terest. N. Y. Statesman.

The Legislature Of Connecticut, at IFS last
session, incorporated company for the pur-
pose of making a navigabe canal from the tide
waters at New-H Haven, through Pennington, to
the southern line of this State, at southwick,
in the County of fiampden. Connected with
this project is one for extending the canal
northerly, through the towns of Soutbwick,
Westfeld, southampton, Eas!hampton, and
Northampton, TO the Connecticut river. OF
this rout a survey has been made by the same
engineers who surveyed tho rout from this town
to Providence and they have reported that

since, Dr. Smith was crossing IA river,

the young gentlemen fell into the river.

reft of life. DR.. Strong ordered the
body to be siript of the wet clothes,

and water to be heated. lie directed

out effect. The Doctor now took "a
pint OF tepid water, 70 which he added
little brandy, with half a table spoonful
OF the tlncture Of cdntharides, and gave
it as an injection. The body being a.
gain put between blankets newly warm
ed, and electricity being again tried,
convulsive sigh was heard. The lungs
were again inflated, efforts 10 breathe
succeeded, and an evident palpitation Of
the heart. The surface Of the body
was now of the natural temperature, and
the frictions were discontinued. Air was
third time blown into the lungs, aud
some water issued from the mouth and
nose. Aqua ammonia was applied TO
the nostriis. and soap of ammonia TO the
breast and back. The person soon be-
gan to respirc with freedom and ease,
and swallowed some warm cordial, A
small quantity of Elood was taken. and

A correspondent recommends the fol-

ton of Braeebridge Hall, as manifes

of its author. and as the most digni-

,eSast'e Alte, ~ t Hamlet.
Having taken leave of the Hall and
its inmates, and brought the history of
my visit to something like q close, there
seems to remain nothing further than
to make my bow and exit. It's my
foible, however, to get on such'co
panionable terms with my reader in the
course of a work, that il really costs
me some pains TO part with him, and |
am apt to keep him by the hand, and
have few farewell words at the end Of
my last volume.
When cast an eye back upon the
work am just concluding, cannot
bat be sensible how full it must be of
.etrors and imperfections indeed, how
should it be otherwise, writing as l do,
about subjects and scenes with which,
as stranger, am bur partially ac-
auainted? Many will, doubtless, find
cause to smile at very obvious plumbers
which I may have made and many
may perhaps be offended at what they
may conceive prejudiced representa-.
tions. Some will think might have
said much more on such subjects as
may suit their peculiar tastes whilst
Others will think had done wiser to
have left those subjects entirely alone.

some, that view England with par
tial eye. Perhaps do: for can never
