NEW VOLUME IN JULY.
Gret EnlprOvemcnt--New Dress


Cyl HE proprietor of this splendid week
I ly paper deems it proper to give
this early notice of his intention to COM
mence its next volume, July LIST. with an
entire change in its typographical appear
ance. which he believes will make it the
largest and most beautiful sheet ever
published in this or any other country.
The changes which he contemplates will
be both useful and ornamental, which
are.
/. To appear in new Scotch type, of
clear and beautiful face, of size which
will enable the publisher to insert whole
book, if necessary, without continuation.
and giving nearly DOUBLE the reading
that the paper now contains for only six
cents: book which otherwise would cost
25 cents, can thus be obtained for six
cents besides great variety Of other mat
ter-poems, music, etc. We intend to
give, each week, compendium of all
the stirring events of the week, so that
our readers will be posted up on all in
teres,ing subjects.
2. No continued Stories will be in
serted in the next volume, but each mum.
Der will be complete in itself. Much
trouble is experienced by mail snbscri-
bers. in losing a number which contains
an unfinished story. /, is for this par
ticular reason that the publisher has con.
cluded to complete everything in each
number.
3. a new and beautiful head. much
handsomer than the one now used, will
then be obtained. Also a much neater
border. The present one is not in good
taste, but its expense was too much to
be discarded ill i, had been used.
A. Embellishments. The paper will
contain, each week, a large and beautl-
iul engraving, illustrating either poem
or story. Ii will also contain monthly
boqnei of flowers, embracing those which
bloom in each month. Also a monthly
engraving representing the latest fashions
for the ladies, and patterns for embroid-
cry and needle work, taken from the la
test LONDON and Paris reports.
". ~ Oe0"tyest Popef' va hS HcAs
volume more highly polished paper
will be used. For mail subscribers il
will be as heavy as the present postage
law will allow, but those who purchase
the paper of carriers, at six cents, will
contain thicker and more polished pa
per, much better than is used on any
other paper now published.
A distinguished literary gentleman will
asss, in the editorial department.
With all these costly Improvements
onsview the proprietor would impress it
in the minds OF those who intend to take
the next volume. 10 send in their orders
IN June. SO tina, be may calculate how
many 10 print. We cannot promise TO
furnish back numbers 10 new patrons
more than four weeks otter the volume
comwences; paper is too expensive 10
work up large quantity to keep on hand.
A subscription ought to be renewed
month before it expires, if subscribers
would secure complete files.

Original Anecdotc Of Decatur.

The gallant Decatur was sailor TO
the hearts core, and loved 10 tell anec-
dotes OF the common sailors. | recol-
leci one which he used TO relate, TO the
following purpor;: In one of the actions
before Tripoli, while fighting hand to
hand with the captain Of a gun-boa,,
Decatur came near being cut down by
Turk, who attacked him from behind.
A seaman, named Rueben James, who
was already wounded in both hands,
seeing the risk of his commander rush.
ed in and received the blow of his up.
lifted sabre on his own head: Forum
aiely, the honest fellow survived to re-
ceive his reward. Sometime afterward,
when he had recovered from lis wounds,
Decatur sen, for him on deck, express
cd his gratitude for his self devotion, in
presence Of the crew, and told him TO
ask for some reward. The honest tar
pulled up his wais,band. and rolled his
guild, but seemed utterly a, loss what
recompense to claim. His mess-mate ties
gathered around him nudging him with
their elbows, and whispering in his ear:
"He had all the world in a string, and
could get what he pleased;" ''.he old
man could deny him nothing" etc. One
advised this thing, another thai; "double
pay" "double allowance" "a boat.
swain's birth, "a poke, full of money,
and a full swing on shore" etc. Jack
elbowed them all aside, and would have
none Of their counsel. After mature de-
Liberation, he announced The reward TO
which he aspired; il was, TO be excused
from rolling up the hammock clothes!
The whimsical requst was of course
granted: and from that time forward
whenever the sailors were piped to stow
away their hammocks, Jack was to be
seen lettering around and looking on,
with The most gen.lemanlike leisure
lie always continued in the same ship
with Decatur.

10 add that Reuben James received a
more solid reward for his gallant deyo-
tioA, than the privilege above mention
ed. pension having been granted him
by Government. On another occasion,
Decatur had received al New Yoik the
freedom Of the city, as testimonial of
respect and gratitude. On The following
day, he overheard this colloquy between
two Of the sailors:

Ere our first mother needing

Forgetting her Creator,
Plunged her long race in woe.
And caused DER beauteous Nature
The seeds of death to grow.

NATIVE FRUITs,-There 10 doubtless
an immense native capacity for fruits in
our own country were it once properly
developed. II ia true that we are begin
ming to make progress, in bringing 10
light, by improving or originating new
fruits, but we have only begun the work
A writer in the Farmer and Mechanic
affords an idea of what might be done,
by his experience with the native Coos
berry. He has omitted to state the
variety of that fruit used-for there are
many of them found wild with us. His,
experiment is as follows:
"ln the early spring OF l849. when the
buds of the wild goosberry began to
burst, | took an April sylvan excursion
through damp places, and with sharp
pruning knife, cut as many vigorous
and clean shoots ae could find. from
the different kinds OF the much neglected
goosberry.
Having made large collection of
cuttings, for the purpose of propagation
in nursery bed, cut them short
one foot long--rejeciiEg the tender parts
and trimming all the buds off, except
three or four upper ones. Then | plant
ed them in rich, well irenched, and ra.
Their moist soil, six inches apar. in
straight rows. The soil around them
was kept loose and clear of weeds by
frequent hoeing, and in good condition
by occasional waterings. In the fall
they were found very fine plants; strong
rooted, fit for transplanting the next sea-
son. They shooled from IL 10 IL in
ches high the same season. TO render
the plants more vigorous, | clipped the
tender ends Of the limbs, trimming them
in the form Of miniature trees.
The second year they yieldeda plen-
ty Of nice fruit Of double size. The third
year all the plants were heavily loaded
with still larger berries of different CO.
lors and flavor. Last year picked fl
~ quarts of much larger goosberrIec,
besides what were eaten by my friends
and visitors to my fruit garden. Some
of my native goosberries seemed much
larger than Houghton's seedlings--Prai-
RE Farmer.
