".As the cold snoVs Of Lapland white."
We last week had the pleasure Of
seeing, on the farm Of the Hon. James
Sissor, ofthis !own, q brood Of the eel
ebrated German Geese, imported by
that gentleman from Bremen, about
four years since. They are milk white
and resemble, about the neck, that ma.
iestick waterfowl, the Swan. They
weigh, when fatted, from twenty TO TWEEN
ty-6ve pounds, are very prolifck, and
easily raised. One goose the last sea-
son yielded net profit of ninety dol
lars. and the produce Of three amount.
ed to upwards Of two hundred. The
advantage which this species possess
over the ordinary goose, must be ap-
parent to all they are treble the size /;
remarkable for the great quantity and
excellent quality of feathers which they
Weld, and for their tameness and docil-
ity. Their body is placed nearly per-
pendicular upon their legs. and when
full grown they measure about three
feet from the tip Of the bill to the
ground. Judge Sisson has supplied in-
dividuals in majority of our principal
cities. with these fowls, AID it is be-
lieved that they give the most entire
satisfaction. Agriculturalists and 9th.
ers who give their attention to the rails
ing Of poultry, will do. well to exam
inc this superiour breed Of Geese.

Of putting production Of Mr.. Greene's

seem more severe, when the fields are
green With summer foliage. or yellow
with the fruits of.autumn. The green
plant reminds US Of the summer Of our
existence, and the falling leaf Of the
frsiIty Of our friendships, and Of the
approach Of that time, when, like the
we'll riPenened grain, we shall be sub
jected to the sickle Of time. and be re-
leased from all the pangs Of temporary
parting. by bidding FareUen TO the
world, its good and ITS evil. But these
Thoughts brighten when we reflect that
another and yet another spring shall
clothe the earth with verdure, sue
ceeding summer shall load the trees
with fruit, and another year return US
the joys which we must for time sur
render.

from, distance. The neighbouring
country sends her industrious sons and

son Of Cherries and with it ccme
many friendly eyes to gaze upon the
groaning trees. whose branches can
hardly sustain the heavy load with
which they are burthened, and many
friendly stomachs to relieve the afore-
mentioned branches, and many mouths
10 supply the stomachs, and many
recollections both sad and cheering Of
blithesome days gone Sy and cheerful
friends whom we shall see no more
forever. But bright summer and mer-
ry autumn, although occasionally shnd-
ed by pleasing melancholy, are laugh
ing, joyous seasons when the mind, as
it surveys the many blessings with
which the earth is teeming when the
eye opens but 10 behold bright faces,
and closes only to permit fancy to in
dulge herself in brighter dreams, all
must be happy. Such is the season of
Cherries the time when acquaintauces
seek to renew friendship, and when
strangers seek to become acquaintan-
ces. It is good to see our streets
tbrenged with persons whose features
tell US that they have come far to par
take Of our hospitality it is amusing to
mark the wishful, rogueish glance,
which occasionally steals towards the
ripe fruit, which hangs in clusters by
the sides of our streets, and it is a
pleasure for the liberal hand Of friend
ship to crafty these wishes. But we
hope that the rich little cherry is not
the only attraction which our village
has to draw visitors. We are inclined
to believe that il is the smallest OF a
thousand magnets which centre here.
They are ripenedby the generous sun.at
that time when man relaxes from the
pressure Of business and leaving for
season the dusty confinement Of city
life, enjoys the cooling sea-breeze for
which the villages on our bay are fam
ed. 1t is true that the abundance of
fruit trees, which converts Warren in
10 an Eden, and makes our town one
extensive orchard, have made its name
known for many very many miles around
US, and caused strangers 10 make it in

is he attractions Of scenery around it,

receive from its inhabitants, which
causes them to repeat these visits.-

more, probably than by the publ
cation of the following extract OF q
letter from the University Of Virgin
ia, dated on the 9Th inst.
Mr.. JEFFERSON expired on
the 4th, about ten minutes before one
o'clock in the afternoon, after con-.
fincment to his bed ofslittis more
than a week, though the disease Of
which lie died (diarrhea) had been
OF long continuance. He suffered
little bodily pain, and, apparently,
none, at all in mind-spoke Of his
approaching end with tho most per-
feet composure, and indicated no So
licitude eccept that his life should be
prolonged 10 the fourth. We all re-
joice here that lis wishes were full
filled. He was buried yesterday,
without any pomp or procession, in
compliance with his dying request,
but very many attended the buryins
place at Monticello, to see him in
TERED. He left a memoir ofhis life,
which, l believe will be pat to press
Immediately, and numerous papers,
that are intended for publication
some years hence."
The Singular coincidence of the
moment Of this great mans death
with that Of the Jubilee; lis rendered
yet more extraordinary by tho fact
of the life Of the patriarch being pro.
longed, apparently, by a great effort
of the mind, fer "a few days wrestling
with death, so as to cxteud TO the
fourth Of the month, and the pre-.
else moment when the question may
be supposed to have been taken on
his report Of the Declaration of In.
dependence, in the Hall of Congress,
on the Fourth day Of July, l776,-
There never was, unless ON the Geld
of battle, more decided illustration
OF :" the ruling passion strong in
DEATH" Jefferson lived for his coun-
try, and his last thought was of her.
The information that the venera-
ted sage has left a Memoir of his
life, for posthumous publication, is
full Of interest. We hope it will
not be withheld from the press.
