 YanEee Ingenuitg.-The whole world must ere long acknowledge the superiority ot Yan- kee ingenuity, and already many portions or it have tacitly made the admission, by the employment of American mechanics n the superintendence of various kinds ot mechan- ical business. Gen. Tallmadge, in letter l from St. Petersburg, remarks that the fore man of the principal machine factory at
 Manchester, (Eng. is an American from Pro-
 vidence: and that the principal manufactur-
 CT employed by the King of Prussia, is na-
 tive of Baltimore. Henry Eckford was for a
 long time the master ship builder for the Sul-
 tan of Turkey and we saw stated few days since that several elegant buggies have been exported per order to England from Newark, NJ. Two inventions which are considered by the English as the greatest improvements of the age, are the fruits of Yankee lngenul- ty-the machine for making the weayer,s reed, invented by J. A. Wilkinson, of K. l.
 and the "self-regulator" to the poWer-loom,
 invented by A. Stone of the same State. But
 in point of ingenuity, we believe nothing can
 exceed the stock machine invented by Gen.
 Harvey, of this village, and now in success
 full operation in the manufacture of stock 1 frames. Added to this, his machine for man. 1 ufacturing screws; his brick machine; his coining apparatus, and various others, of mi- nor importance, exhibit mechanical skill of the highest order. Wherever our ingenuity and enterprise extend into foreign countries, an evidence and conviction of our greatness goes with them; and the non-recoiling rife of young Cochran made NIahmoud of Turkey exclaim, !" If American boys can do this, what can their men do!'-P Po'keepsie Telegraph.
 HEssiAN FLY.
 The fly itself is. small insect with long bluish wings, and may be seen lowering a. bout over a wheat field ina warm day in the fall, after the wheat is up and has got into stooling-it then deposites its eggs, from one to five or six, on the lower leaf where it joins the stalk. The eggs when first laid, are a. bout the size of the point of a pin and white they grow until they become ofthe size of a flax seed, when they change the color to brown, and appear in the shape and color of a flax seed. While in the white state they appear to extract nourishment from the stalk of wheat, from their wounding it, the eggs continue in the faxed state in the stalk at the junction of the lower leaf until the next spring, and every stalk that has an egg in it turns to a dark green and perishes before the next spring. In the spring, after the wheat begins to grow, no eggs can be found in the live wheat, but on examining, there can be found dead stools of wheat, and on taking these up you will find the egg at the root of the stool where it was deposited, appearing like flax seed. When the weather becomes warm these eggs hatch, and the little crea- ture crawls out of the ground, and begins to lay eggs on the surviving wheat, close to the stalk on the lower leaf, where the egg re- mains, going through its changes until fall, when it comes out fly again, an6 conlrnen- ces on the new sown wheat.
 The fly will lay its egg in Rye, but the rye stalk grows strong and fast, and bursts open the husk leaf where the egg is laid and the egg falls out and perishes. It will lay its eggs in oats and timothy, but not do much in- jury. This fly is very different insect from the fly that has lately made its appearance in New England and New-York State, or the Maryland hy-in both of these last cases the fly lays its egg in the grain while in Q milky state, and the worm eats the milk and meal out of the grain, but in no case has the grain been eaten by the Hessian fly or found in it -out ail these flies may depredate in the saHle nelo n thelr own way. What is the re- medy Ncannot be in applying any thing to the seed before sowing, as thefly lives on the
 Even good tillage has failed this last season
 as well as late sowing. Will not lime do if
 if properly applied, as a very small portion
 of lime is quick and certain death to many
 insects! pint of lime mixed with 100 bush. els of wheat will destroy every wecvil in it ] and if blown from fan into barn it will , destroy or drive them all out, .5-s, . Lime IS certain and quick death to fleas &c. and 1t is said that by sewing over the Z grain 1t will destroy tho egg in the grain.--- Supposing farmer when he found the fly Z was in his wheat depositing its eggs should SOW half bnshel of lime while warm aftel : stacking upon an acre, in still morning while the dew is on--the lime being light ana
 fine will spread and settle down on the leaves ' of wheat, and reach the egg while in the sof ? and white state and most likely destroy it, Il Where the stubble is full of the egg. by
