THE EMPEROR AND IMPERIAL FAMILY.
Don Pedro the first, Emperor of Brazil,
is the ollest son of the present King of Por-
tn gal. The Empress Leohoidina is Il daugh-
ter of the Emperor Of Austria, and sister to
Maria Louisa, widow of the late Emperor
Napoleon Of France. The Emperor is a.
bout 80 years of age; is we'll made, genteel
man, in appearance, and has a good looking
Portuguese face. The Empress has not so
many visible charms as Maria Louisa was
reputed to possess, but she has a good ma
tured German face, and as for her person,
there is enough ofH to make up for any de-
fciency OF beauty. She has the reputation
of being very amiable, and is much beloved.
They have five infant daughters, one Of
whom was born while / was at Rio, on the
1st. of August last; on which occasion,
hundred cannon announced the joyful event,
the bells rang joyful peal, the city was il
Illuminated, and there was total suspension
Of business Oh the occasion, for three days.
And here must give some account of the
Christening of the little Princess Donna

A week passed after the birthday, and
then came the christening, when there was
again three more holidays. 1t took place
on tine 9Th August, at the Imperial Chapel
in the Palace square. At all early hour the
Palace was thronged by the Nobility, Off
GERS. &c. and the whole great square was
crowded with spectators. The doors and
windows of all the buildings round, were
hung with curtains Of crimson, satin damask;
and long platform, reaching from the Pal
ace to the Chapel was lined with the same,
inside the railing, and richly carpeted.-

FRUIT TREES.


The new method of raising fruit trees by
planting the Scions, is a great desideratum
in the art of obtaining choice fruit. 1t has
many advantages over grating, because it is
more expeditions, and requires no stalk or
tree. They may be planted where they are
required to stand; and the labor of a man
for one day will be sufficient to plant out
enough for large orchard after the scions
are obtained. The method of preparing the
plant is as follows. Take the scions as for
ENGRAVING, and at any time after the first of
February and until the buds begin to grow
considerably, and dip each end of the shoot
in melted pitch or wax. rosin and tallow,
and bury itin the ground, the buds upper
most, whilst the body lies in horizontal
position, and at depth of two or three in
ches. We are informed that trees obtained
in this way will bear in three or four years
from the time of planting. We have no
doubt of the practicability of this method of
raising fruit. Doctor Paige, OF this village,
planted about twenty scions ofdiiferent kinds
of Pears, the middle of last month, two of
which are now in blossom at the surface Of
the ground and appear Aourishingl The
composition he used, was melted shoema-

COWS.

The marks OF q good COW are these: Inc
forehead broad the eyes black, the horns
large and clean, the neck long and straight,
the belly long and deep, the thighs thicK,
the legs round with short joints, and the feet
broad and thick. -,
Red COWS are said to give the best milk,
though the black ones are said to oring the
best calves, which is however doubtful.
But the COW that gives milk the longest
time, between the periods OF caivins, Is
generally best for profit or family use; pro-
vided. the quantity, and quality OF her milk
be equal to that of others. Just before caiviny,
a COW should be we'll ted; and if she calves
in winter, her drink should be little warm
ed for a day and night afterwards. Ii she
does not clean we'll after calving give her
pail full of warm water, with some ashes III
It. Those that calve pretty early VIII yield
most milk in the season.
The times of milking ought to be regular,
and as nearly equi-distant as sposs'ble. Where
the feeding is full, it is found that milking
three times day during the summer sea-
son particularly, will increase the quantity
nearly one-third. In that case, the first milk
ing ought to be Oy sunrise, the second about
one and the latter about o'clock in the
evening. Onitting to milk cows regularly,
at least twice day, tends very much to dry
them. Sometimes one or more teats OF
cow may be diseased; but this does not Affect
the milk of the rest.
Cows are certainly very profitable. Al
lowing one to give only six quarts day for
forty weeks in each year, and this is not a
large allowance, her milk, at only two cents
per quart, will amount upwards of thirty
three dollars; which is probably sufficient
to purchase her and pay for years keep
ing.
Is there anv room to doub tn the prof
its of our dairies may be realty augment
ed by proper attention to the bread OF milk
cowsl There is some prejudice on this
point. 1t is said that good keeping makes
good cows; yet those who say it, see in their
own COW Yards frequently single COW not
bigger nor better fed than others, giving
double the quantity of milk. 1t is very care
less and stupid to go OH rearing calves from
poor cows, in preference to those from good
cows; vet this is pretty generally done, be-
cause the excellent COWS bring excellent fa
calves for the market. Their good or bat
qualities are undoubtedly important, as wei
as their color and size--at least in very
considerable degree. Why should we scru
ple this, any more than the improvement
in the breed Of horsesl The bull is t;
be chosen with no less care than the COW
The best COWS for milk may be reared a
certainly as horses for racing and draught-
and in a dairy country the total neglec
of this important care is shameful and i'm
accountable. We have selected these fey
remarks for the present--at another tim
we intend to offer some observations OH rear
ing calves, and the management of the dai
ry.

The United States and South America.


Certain English writers, among them William
Cobbett have repeatedly accused the United States
OF entertaining sordid jealousy of the new South
American republics secret desire to thwart their
struggles for independence, and to keep them en-
broiled with Spain and the Holy Alliance. For
our parts, we never believed the charge we did not
think it likely that cold calculation Of remote po-
litical rivalry could oyerpower in the breasts of a
free and prosperous people, the natural sympathy
they would feel with communities aspiring to their
advantages, and initiating their glorious example.
Our opinion has been confirmed by the pleasure and
even enthusiasm which the successes Of the South
American Patriots appear uniformly 10 have diffused
throughout The great North American Republic.
Very recent New York papers inform us, that the
decided victory Of Bolivar in the plains OF Gusman-
qua, bad beon hailed with the most lively satisiac-
ton in the United States, and public dinner in
celebration Of theevent was to take place the 9th
