At recent meeting&of tire American G co.
graphical Society ,sin New York. "a communities
ton was read from Rev. II. A A.e~Wylder an
American missionary to Natal descriptive of
the general geographical features of that eoun-
try which is interesting, inasmuch as it conveys
q good idea Of thespeculiar characteristics of
the great region il fSeksouthern part of Africa.
1t should be know Our readers that Natal
is a little tract OF eerl ory embracing but about
fifteen million aefeS land, lying on the east
ern coast of Ahita4 some six hundred miles
from the Cape pod Hope. Mr. Wylder
states that its surf diversified by an end
less succession Qf MM and dalcs, narrow table
lands and rivEFa SDA the large table-ands
sometimes, where e fraxeller sees no break in
t5Sl3 sEq4l,,as:sf e. 1sssdscspe, nothing but
and them he will find himself suddenly stand-
ing at the summit of a precipice, with river
running far below. One can hardly travel al
hour in any direction without crossing many
streams of pure water. The mouths of these
streams, during great part of the year, arc
blockaded by mounds of sand, which are the
haunts of crocodilcs and hirpopotami. None
of these rivers are capable of inland navigation,
being so filed with rocks that it would be dan
gerous for the smallest vessel to enter.
Much Of the soil of Natal is in ruined and
impoverished condition, the natives who
formerly owned the region never attempted to
manure it. However, in the eastern part Of
the country two or three crops of Indian
are raised annually by the settlers. Oranges,
lemons and lines flourish near the coast, and
further inward, apples and peaches are raised.
The climate is very equable, the thermometer
generally ranging between so and so degrees.
Terrific thunder storms very frequent there.
The geological features of the country inter
csting. Most of the rocks of primary
character. Red sandstone abonnds the
tabe-ands, yet granite is invariably found be-
meath. The soil is strongly impregnated with
iron, and Ioatlstone is found in various districts
Coal, copper and lead have been discovered,
and geological appearances seems to justify the
belief that gold exists there. 1t is an interest
ing country for conchologists. Out OF so speci-
mems sent from thence to England, upwards of
80 found to be of unknown species.
Marine shell have been found inland al height
of 5000 feet above the sea, thus showing that
at some past day the country has been submcr-
ged by water.
Natal many years since Inhabited entire
Iy by negroes, who were tributary to the chief of
Zulu, warlike prince who governed a nation to
the northward. The Chief of Zulu could mus
ter hundred thousand fighting men, and with
them he conquered all the provinces After he
died, Natal fell into the hands of the English
by whom it is now possessed.

The OLIVES OF GETHsEMaNE.-At the foot
Of the Mount Of Olives we find what is consid-
cred the Garden Of GetLsamane, memorable as
the resort Of our Lord, and as the Of the
agony which he was BETRAYED. There is little
doubt that this is the real place Of this solemn
transaction. It seems to have been an olive
plantation i'll the time Of Christ, the name
Gethscmane signifies oil press. 1t is about so
PAGES square, and is enclosed by a wall of 70
great height formed of rough loose stones
Eight very ancient olive trees now occupy the
enclosure some Of which are very large, aud all
exhibit symptoms Of decay, clearly denotinY
their great age. As fresh olive tree springs
from the stump Of an old one, there is reason to
conclude that even if the old trees existing in
the time of our Lord have been destroyed those
which now stand sprang from their POTTS. htt
it is not incredible that they should be the same
| trees. They are at least Of the time of the
Eastern Empire, as is proved by the following
circumstance: In Turkey every olive tree which
was found standing by the Moscms when they
| conquered Asia pays tax of one medina to the
treasury while each Of those planted since the
| conquest pays its prodnce: now the olive trees
| of Gethscmane pay only eight medinas Dr.
Wild describes the largest at twcnty-four
feet iu girth above the root, though its topmost
branch is not above thirty feet from the ground
| NJ. Bove who travelled as naturalist, asserts
that the largest at least six yards in circum-
! ference and nine ten yards hgh--so large
/ indeed that he calculates their age at 1000
vcars Apcieat Jerusalem.

McCOrn,ickss Reaper.

We had all opportunity, this week, of witness
ing the operation of this celebrated machine
1t is certainly worthy its American and Eu-
ropean reputation. 1t cuts a swath six feet
wide, as fast two horses can walk and cuts
cleaner than any scythe aud cradle possibly
do. Scarcely single head of grain, which
reaches up to the knife, is left. All the waste
that is done, is in the operation Of binding.
Two hands are required to attend the Reaper
"a driver, and raker 10th Of whom ride
upon the machine. With little skill and
practice, the raker Will deposit from the ma
chine the proper quantity for a sheaf with every
pull of his rake.
The machine is compelled to "shun sumps,"
and of course does much better in ground clear
of stumps and otherwise smooth. 1t re-
marked by gentleman present that if its in
PRODUCTION into general nsc should do no other
good, it would induce the farmers to rid their
land of these obstacles to pleasant cultivation
and to put in their small grain crops with greater
accuracy and c.-Greensborongh Patriot.

TURNED THE JOKE ON HIM-An amusing
scene took place recently on the steamer Eureka
just as she was leaving for Cleveland. A rough
looking genius came aboard with powerful
bulldog at his heels. Walking directly into

Office till the boat starts Pm afraid that some
body will steal him. You can't do it." said
the clerk. Take him OUT We'll stranger,

BAYARp TAYLOR on NurMEcs.-On our re-
turn to the ship we visited a nutmeg lanta-
ton The trees, which from twenty to thir-
ty feet in height, planted in rows, at inter
walls of about twenty feet. The leaf is dark
green and glossy, resembling that of the laurel,
and the fruit, at little distance, might be
taken for small russet-co!ored apple. When
ripe, the thick husk splits in the centre, show
ing a scarlet network of mace, cnvelopiEg an
inner nut black ebony the kernel of which
is the nutmeg of commerce. The Glove tree
not now in its bearing season, has some resem-
blance to the NUT but the leaf is smaller and
the foliage more loose and spreading. AS we
drove through the orchard the warm air o
noon heavy with spice. The rich odors ex
hailed from the trees penetrated the frame with
a sensation of languid and voluptuous repose
Perfume became appetite, and the senses
were drugged with oyerpowering feeling o.
luxury. Had | continued to indulge in it,
