From the Cuitipato,
HEDGING.

One Of the most beautiful and durable OF
fences, is mode Of living plants, usually
those Of thorny nature and disposed to
crow in close aud impervIous manner,-
One of the mos, striking features Of the En
slsh landscape, is the hedges which serve
10 divide tLc estates from each other, or
the several farms into suitable fields for the
purposes Of agriculture. 10 the United
States, numerous attempts al making heds.
es have been made, bu, owing 20 some IN
explained cause, without but little success
on the whole. The plants used here have
generally been some variety Of the foreign
hedge thorn, but the deep green of the En-
ssh hedge is not seen on the same plants
here, and they are liable TO the attacks Of
worms which speedily destroy them. The
Usage orange, tho honey locust, the crab
apple, and the wild mulberry, as natives Of
this country, have been tried with different
degrees Of success. Lately the buck thorn
has been introduced for this purpose into the
vicinity of Boston and Salem, apd there are
now some beautiful specimens of hedges
from this plant, which promises to be all
the lovers of this kind of fence can desire.
|, is probable the difference in the temper
AZURE and moisture between this country
and Great Britain, is suiiicien, to account
for the failure of the English thorn here,
and render it expeden, TO rely on the native
plants Of some kind, rather than imported
ones. The bes, specimens of the hawthorn
hedges we have seen, are in .he vicinity of
Geneva, and of Sodus Bay, both in western
New York.
