An attempt was made in Albany Monday, to get

''We had scarcely thought that the wretched farce
attempted at Philadelphia and New York, would be re-

reports the following description of
the animals as given By their keeper.
"This animal, ladies and gentlemen,
is the grizzly bear from the Rocky
mountains Of the exterior Of the North
American continent. He lives entire
ly on Iocusts and wild honey, and emf
CRATES twice year to the North Pole,
where he. lives entirely on snow, which
causes his skin to be a white color,
and he becomes the polar bear. He
then sits himself on cake of ice, and
floats down to the Equator, when he
crawlls along until he meets with his
former place of abode, and again be-
comes the grizzly animal that you now
see.
Walk up, ladies and gentleman,
and hear me explain the history of
the animal afore you. There you see
a stuffed specimen Of a Twin, Bengal
tiger. His habits are carniverous, and
he died in giving birth to that enter
prising young specimen of the same
genus in the corner of the cage.
This animal is the Nunoo (Ghun J
or the Horn Cow of Hindoostan, where
it is worshipped by the Brahmins as
a divinity. Irs disposition is demo-
cratic, and il has been known to live
for some months at time, upon a suf-
fciency Of food to keep alive the vital
ember.
now call your attention to Dandy
Jack and lady Jane in the circle, after
which Major Dick will go through bis
revelations on the Shetlaud Poney,
and the the rest Of the animals will be
exhibided.'

Jesse, not liking the scent ofthe

made his way to the house Of the old

the devil had been there, and they
were compelled to fly to the woods
for protection, or be carried off by him

had just killed the devil.
They took the road and tracked him
until they came up with The body,

PROSPECTUS FOR
'sThe Agriculturist."
g. JOrRNAL OF THE STATE AND
COUNTY SOCIETIES.


HAVING nearly completed the second
Volume Of the journal OF the Tennessee
state and County Agricultural Societies,
We send forth proposals to the friends OF
Improvement throughout the Union, for
the Third Volume. We are frank to say,
the patronage Of the Agriculturist has al
ready surpassed our londest expectations,
and we have many demonstrations that It
had been useful wherever it has been read.
Tbs circulation is, perhaps, greater than
any other Agricultural work OF the West,
and therefore, those who read 1t, may eX-
pect to get information from a ye:y large
and respectable circle Of contributors.
We again assure the public,we will give
our attention to every science and subject
which we think will be beneficial to our
country. Education-partlcularIy Agd'
cultural. or that kind best suited IN Farm
grs and Mechanics, we expect 10 discuss
more fully than has yet been done IN
America; il will BE- our object to clearly
define the true policy for working men
generally. and es ,etially for the laborng
class io Tennessee. THIS will lead Us 10
examine whether Tennessee is intended
as planting, or provision growing aud
manufacturing State, or both. We shall
still dwell much upon the Improvement OF
the soil, aad fully investigate the science
ofbreedug and rearing domestic animals.
Horticulture will receive strict and con-
slant attention. In word, It Is our in
tention 10 expose error Of every descrp.
ton, give our readers every thing IN our
means, calculated to improve the physical,
moral, intellectual, and Pecunlary condl.
tion ocrnan, aud we will use every eScr-
ton 20 make the AgrlcuturiSt the very
best paper in the country.
CONDlTIONS.-The work will DC pub
lished monthly, on good Paper-each No.

per annum; BUT WILL, IN NO INSTANCE, BE
Forwarded TO A NEW SU BSCRlBER

A BIZ OF HoNEsTY.-People are nncct
all depraved yet-there is still ldtle balm
in Gilead. After the explosion of the
North Star, says the Mobile Chronicle,
letter containing a sum of money was
found among the rubbish by one of the;
crew, named Samuel O'Hara. The letter
was much torn and mutiliated, and the
money exposed TO veiw. O'Hara, how.
ever, took the letter to Mobile, and deliv.
eed it to the Rev. Mr.. McGarahan, who.
with much difficulty, ascertaiaed that II
was addressed to Mr.. a. P. Pfster of

was delivered in safety. Such honesty, in
these dishonest times, is worthy of all COM
