Farmers should all be well educated, and
have access to books from which they might
CLEAN the experience Of mankind, not only us
it regards Agriculture, but all other useful sub
iects. II is mainly the want Of this kind Of
knowledge, which has heretofore kept them

discovered in the buildings known as 'Niblo's
Gardens which spread with such rnpidity
that in a very short time the whole block,

before anything could be saved from it. BY
great exertons, a considerable portion of the
contents was rescued The new club house
was saved with scarcely any injury. At tho
opposite corner, resting on Prince street, was
a drug store, and adjoining this was the store

from which he had removed little while be-
