nS7 The Hdrkford Tim

b9r The Hartford Times mentions q
farmer who took up fence after it had
been standing fourteen years, and found
some Of the posts nearly sound, and
Others rotted off at the bottom. Look.
ing for the cause he discovered that the
posts which had been inverted from the
way they grew we're solid, and those
which had been set as they grew were
rotted of. This is certainly an incident
worthy of being noted by our farmers.

AgrituIturat.



In New England they are making q
great account of this excellent fruit, and
it bids fair to take high rank among the
smaller fruits-Horey's Magazine, in
treating Of this subject says: Y
"Sipce the introduction of the i'm
proved variety, about six or seven years
ago-of which we have heretofore given
several accounts, and whose cultivation
has been SO well detailed in our last vol-
ume, ty Capt. Lovett, of Beverly, who
has been one of the most successful
growers of the fruit-it has been very
generally disseminated /; and, the past
year, many remarkably fine specimens
were exhibited before the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society.
The liberal premiums offered for
this fruit, by the Society, have had the
good effect of producing very general
competition; and so superior have
been some of the specimens--so much
larger then when first exhibited, evident
ly showing what care and attention will
do for this as well as other fruits-that
the Society have deemed it advisable to
offer high prize for Seeding, with
the hope of still further improvement !;
for, although what few attempts have
been made in this way have not been at
tended with very favorable results,
there is still good reason to believe that
it will y eld to the ameliorating influences
OF cultivation, as well as the strawberry,
the gooseberry, or the raspberry"
So productive is this variety that, ac-
cording to the authority we have quoted,
dozen plants when we'll established
yield sufficient fruit for family of the
ordinary number. Some of the berries
exhibited by Captain Lovett and others,
were over an inch and a-balf long.

nRACTICE in the Supreme Court of

claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
SIR latter consulting many persons interested in
the principal Railroads in the United,Staies, the
undersigned propose to establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic RAILROAD statistics and
such other information will enable them to serve
persons desiring to invest in Railroad securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Raj,
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat-
ING to contracts for carrying the mall so as to au-
thorze the Post Office Department to contract for
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and instead cf
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foul
wears, to advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeabIe upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int.
rest upon which at per cent. would equal tie
payments now made.
The government now pays 5000 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead Of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity five al 900 bonds, bearing int
rest Of five per centum. AT this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from 5000
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears, pay offthe Bonds and give theu ofsuch
roads forever thereafter free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
consequent reduction of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance, such a contract would give to the Bali-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
40 600 ,000 which would enable that complete lis
road at an early day. and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con-
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEA M SHIP
THROUGH PASSAGE TO

CALIFORNIA;.
TIME public will be gratifed to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, i'm connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS to go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama
These Interruptions are now all removed
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama.
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt HUDSON.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt PORTER, u. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScnENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsTEIN, u. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
