rated upon, and the limited knowledge

This science has commended with the
lrown OF the bigot, and the sheer of the
pr,sumpluous, but sneers and frowns, have
onl y won fer 1t the commentator of the
unprcjudiccd, and The approval of tho
unassuming; sill there are many who are
unaware that such an art exists, and some
whom prcconc,ivcd notions deter from
Witnessing its demonstration: vet it has
grown like all sciences opposed by the
Ignorant, and oppressed by the over-con
hdenl; while on the other hand the
noble enqniring mind has been elevated,
and expanded, by seeing the display of

ton to the material world.

cecding two feet in height, which were loaded
with fruit, and we saw this fall on the firm OF
Mr.. w. NJ. Drummond five miles north of this
town. number Of oaks from 0 to J.. inches high

These oaks are known to be aged and have not
increased in height for many years.
