SUBSTITUTE FOR coFFEE.-The seed
ofgrapes are very generally used in Ger
many as a substitute for coffee, and they
make a very excellent substitute. When
pressed, they yield quantity of oil, and
when boiled, furnish a liquid
very similar to that procured by coffee.
Its flavor is delicious.

THE BUCKEYE PLoUGHBoY.-Thisi is
the title of a monthly agricultural pub.
lication, commenced ia October last, al
Cnyahoga Falls, by Richard Fry. "Its
object is to promote Agricultural i'm.
provements, and it will be devoted to
farming, gardening, and the arts" From
the number which we have seen, we
should judge this publication highly
worthy of the patronage Of the public.
1t contains sixteen closely printed pages
octave, and is delivered to subscribers
at the low price of fifty cents per year.
The farming community have for a
long time seemed to cherish dislike to
agricultural publications of every kind.
Welded to the old ways of their fathers
they have believed that nothing new
could be developed upon so old SUBJ
ject. The discoveries in the arts and
sciences, and particularly in Chemistry,
although Of the utmost Importance to
the agriculturalist, have been neglected
as too theoretical and visionary to be-
come of any practical benefit. These
ideas are now fortunately wearing
away the immense benefits of intelli-
gent book.agriculture, are beginning TO
be felt too strongly to be denied; far
mers are becoming readers and expert
mentalists, and Agriculture is held as a
science worthy Of high rank among
those pursuits which are destined to en-
tighten the world, and promote the hap
piness of its population. Every farmer
should take an Agricultural publication
of some kind, and should give it an at
tentive and careful perusal.

LATE FROM TExAs.-By the arrival
of yesterday fthe Texian brig Charles

PhGnix) Captain Greason from Gavels-
ton Bay whence she sailed on ihe 18th
instant. we learn that the late gale was
very severe along the coast of Texas, on
5th instant, destroying buildings, public
works, and vessels, in every direction,
among which is the new and commodi-
Gus fort of Gavelston Island, together
with the whole Of the private dwell
ings, warehouses, stores, &c. on the
beautiful spo., leaving nothing but the
custom house to remind the stranger of
the place where a flourishing town had
been commenced.
The waters Gavelston Bay are said to
have risen unprecedently high, inunda-
ting the prairies arouud to many miles
in extent, and sweeping away the build
ings which are thinly scattered over
them, and desroying stock to large a.
mount.
The Texian Congress composed prin-
cipally of new members, had convened,
but nothing of Importance had been act
ed upon. Gen. Rusk had proposed to
call upon the Secretary Of the Treasury
for an account of all the land scrip
which had been issued, to whom and for
what purpose issued--by whom, and
what had become of the proceeds-lke-
wise the balance of the scrip, if not sold,
together with the agents authorized to
dispose of it be recalled.
The propriety Of removing the seat of
government to the vicinity of the public
lands had been warmly discussed, and it
was the opinion of the members gener-
ally that the measure would be carried
before the adjournment of the next sess-
ion. 'tt 'oi ts.e'
