The dress Of both sexes is exactly according to fancy.
The working dress Of the females is generally frock
eong little below the anee, and plain pants 1T svery
convenient and pretty, particularly for girls or young
women. BY the by, this is The place where " womens
rights are fully understood and acknowledged and
most fully developed by almost universal cheerulness
and amenity Of disposition. Few private families in the
country get along with rtle pickering among their

In matters of religious faith oil free think and
worship as best seemeth fit there is no " Established
Church" the domain, and far observed, not
much anxiety TO 60 off hear stated preaching in the
noiglbohood. Sunday is literally day of rest from Ia

the discourse, between meals, in the diningroom.
Like almost all farmers they take the opportunity to
look the farm at the crops ond stock and talk about
needed improvements, which they cannot make fast
they desire because they lack the means, not much
in money Their greatest want since they have
escaped iom the incubus of poverty and inexperencc
that retarded them good deal for several years is active
intelligent members, capable Of giving direction to
workers which they could hire and then proftably employ
They could net however greatly increase their members
without adding their buildings, with their num-
Der and several boarder and good mary visitors they
find it difficult TO accommodate all.
In point ofhealth the place has maintained good
reputation. Adjoining the door yard is thick grove
along the slope Of the little brook This has been rem

BY the rural taste of the French members who have cut
out and leveled paths winding along the hils-now be-
tween tall trees now amid thick buthes, a little
stream fOot.bridge-now we find little garden spot
now hepath goes down the hill to cool spring. with seats
in deep shade to a smooth grassy spot beneath the
oaks and chesnuts where find group seated upon the
benches watching number of boys playing nnepins
ball. or some other athletic althTromotng game.
Beside the other buildings nocd there the steam
saw mill, end blacksmith and carpenters shops. The
grain mill is used manufacture for the of the COM
munity and for sale, wheat rye and buckwheat -four;
corn NEAL samp and honiny the two last are better
known and higher esteemed than anything Of the kind in
this City, and ought TO be still better known, aoring
the cheapest and most wholesome articles of human food
that can be obtained in these dear times.
There are upon the about seventy of flourish
ing orchards apple and peach and upon the latter

peaches These orchards have been source of great
profit and will be still greater when al the thrifty young
apple trees come into bearing The community also raise
considerable small fruit for market but the grea: crops are
potatoes tomatoes urnips melons, cucunbers ana gar
den seeds. We have heretofore alluded TO the proht OF
tie early turnip crop and large field OF potatoes

conducted experiments that large, whole potatoes planted
in three feet apart and eighteen inches in the row,
produce the greatest yield and best potatoes
