"THE AMERICAN FARMER"

ind Spirit Of the agricultural Journals Of the
Day.
4 NEW Volume Of this old and popular
IN agricultural work, commences on the LIST
of July. 1t is published on the first Of every
month, each number containing so large octa-
vo pages, at 81 per annum-6 copies for So
Is copies for $40.
The .4mericm Farmer has now been in ex-
istence since 1919, and was the first periodical
ever published in the u States, devoted exclu-
siyely 10 the interests of the cultiva,ors of the
soil--many similar works have since sprung
into existence, and have passed away, whilst
the pioneer in the good cause has steadily pur-
sued It's way, and in its ripe old age, evinces
all the freshness and vigor ofyouth. The pub
Usher feels conscious, that his numerous pa
irons will bear him out in the assertion, that at
no stage of its existence has his journal been
received with more favor than at the present
time. Gentlemen of the highest standing, and
eminent for their zeal and devotion TO their
time honored calling, who have been subscri-
bers 10 the work since its first appearance to
the present time, (and we have number Of
them still on our list,) have but recently borne
testimony TO the fact, that 1t is not excelled in
point Of practical utility by any of the numer-
GUS journals with which our country now
abounds. Whilst these assurances are flatter-
ing to our pride, they will serve as a stimulus
to future exertions. All communications TO
be addressed to SAMUEL SANDS,

hour, which was | o'clock, ana moved off in fine
style, with any number of spectators on the shipping
IN the river and the roofs OF the buildings. As far
as Bull Ferry the Oregon kept the lead by about
halfa length. Here the Vanderbilt ran into theOr-
cgon starboard Wheel-house and damaged it some
500 worth bat did not h nder the progress; from
this place to Permoat they ran evenly together bat
when within some t&o hu ,dred yards OF the turning
point at Sing sing he Oregon rased inside and took
the lead, making a full swing OF mile or more
around, While Ler opponent stopped her wheels
and made short turn THIS gave the Oregon the
lead on The return which she kept throughout though
