THE GREAT BARN.

Mr.. David Ieavitt, of this City, recently bought
q fam of three hundred acres for his country resi-
dence on the Housatonic River. hardly two miles
south of the villsge of Great Darlington, Berkshire
Co.. Mass. There may be fifty of it fair inter-
vale; the residue being billy upland, 10 good part
covered with young wood. Here he has built him
handsome dwelling and commenced the systematic
Improvement Of the arabic land by draining, sub
soiDg, &c, under the direction Of Mr.. r. Wilkin-
son, whose efforts for Scientific Agriculture in
Dutchess County and at Mount Airy, Germantown,
Pa deserve honorable mention. The expense Of
such improvement is largely enhanced by its novelty
in this religion, and the fast tina, his draining-tie
have to be procured from great distance, and cost
him on the farm thrice what they should and what
they ultimately will cost those who follow in his foot
steps. Still, Mr.. Lesvitt goes ahead, with the en-
ersy he has emnen.y displayed in other undertakings
and will yet shame some Of his caviling neghbcrs
into far of and feeble imitation Of his lberality and
thoroughness.
