THE TRIBUN NE.
gylvania Association.

b may briefly state that this body is steadily per-
,sing its organization, and confidently expects to
into practical operation this Spring. The Sc
Zion of its Domain has not yet been made, hav-
S,been delayed, among other causes, by the back
,..dness of the Spring and the superabundance of
/. Cow which still covers the earth. Many propo-
ks to sell lands on advantageous terms have al
E.,iy been received, and an intelligent Committee
n PRACTICAL men will soon set out to visit the To-
Atons deemed most eligible, with view to prompt
3sclion. 1t is intended that pioneer detach-
lat of seyenty-fve men, (some fifteen or twenty
seompanied by their wivcs,) shall be on the
hand by the middle Of April, and that three or
ta hundred more shall join them as soon as build
lis Sc. can be provided-probably in October at
irhest.
This is an earnest attempt to organize Com
s,niy for Social, Industrial and Educational pur-
loss, on the principles first set forth by Charles
lI.qier, or by an application to Agriculture, the
la,, and to Business generally of the Joint Stock
Iuasples which less perfectly adopted in the
Mutual Insurance Companies, Life Assurance,
Whaling Voyages, &c. of our time. Every mem
Es invests his pecuniary means, or such portion
ssrsof as he stipulates, receives stock therefor,
.Snd is paid dividend thereon. Every member
a.o invests his or her Labor, and receives his or
Bg equitable proportion Of the products of the
s.sscia,ion Agriculture and various branches Of
Manufacturing and Mechanical Industry will be
FEo,scu,ed on the Domain, under the direction Of
lie most sklful and experienced members in each
sspatment, profting by ell the inventions, inn
Fayements, machinery, &c. of our time. la this
Inv, the labor of each will be directed and made
iilicent by the highest wisdom of all.
+ The advantages of the Combined over the Iso-
tied method of prosecuting Industry are many
lid great. The following are among them:
Il. Economy in Agriculture One-half the
3ams, ploughs, carts, &c. &c. with one-fourth of
offences, will answer better purpose on one
age Domain that the larger number would sub

opposed to destruction by the elements, in plant
b, hoeing sc. just when required, is very obvious
liz. Economy of Time; Outdoor avocations be-
prosecuted only when the weather favors, with
;resdy resort to indoor manufacturing employ
en,s when the skies are forbdding. Much time
s,nt of such an alternative.
H. Household Economy. The cooking, &C. for
he hundred persons associated may be done with

He'd into separate households of half dozen

fyed in other vocetions.

Such are some Of the Improvements in the con-

The Syvanians hope to secure to themselves and
