its pretty form and solidity.
Nev Mericam While Flint Cor.-My
farm tenant who planted my package Of
these seeds last spring, in lieu Of some Of
those which had rotted in the ground for
him. did not seem to think much of it at
the time, but is now 80 we'll pleased with
its large stems, ears, and grains, that be
intends to save all the grains for planting
again next year, when We shall know moro
about it.
Lotus Corniculatus-I also received .
package of seeds bearing this name, aud
without any description of what it is or
how or when it is to be sowu or planted.
1t is quite small, round seed, and looks
like grass seed. l presume it belongs to
the Lotu. tribe Of plants peculiar to an
cieut Egypt, but, As l have no access'to
books on this subject | am At loss to say
what it is. Will not some one who has ac-
cess to the fne library at the Lewisburg
University enlighten US on the subject, and
its season and mode Of sowing and culture !?
Now let some of our Union County far
mers aud gardeners tell us what foreign
seeds they have experimental ou,and how,
and the results, " hsther favorable or other
wise, and it will be to our mutual advan-
tage. AdRIcoLA.

Within walled and fortified city, at
last with soldiers and cannon, AID para.
pets; and houses and forts aud churches
and palaces, mixed and jumbled together,
in the queerest ENHANCEMENT imaginable;
with streets so narrow and numerous and
crooked, and with such an indefinite vari
ely of grades, from an angle Of five to
forty five degrees, that . stranger, in first
attempting to navigate his own way with
out pilot, is ap. to find himself, like the
pig crawling through the crooked rails Of
. worm fence, always coming out on the
same side, or else be brought up standing,
by unexpected obstacles, with his nose
pointing towards some point Of the COM
pass not contemplated at the outset.
Left Moutreal,i ,iu new boat Of the same
name, at Z o'clock last evening; leaving
the rival boat, John Mum, older aud rus
tier by twelve years, to follow at its lei
sure. Some three miles down, met stea.
mer with a Montreal pleasure party re.
turning from an excursion trip to Quebec,
where they had shared in the public re-
ception given to the newly arrived regi-
menr from the Crimea. The deck aud
guards we're crowed with the joyous throng
who loudly cheered as we passed and the
vessel was gaily decorated with profusiou
of British aud French flags aud streamcrs,
but the entire abseuce Of the "stars and
stripes" impressed us States people on
board, with the feeling that theirs was q
Joy with which",he stranger iuterme6dleth
not.'
Presently the John Mum came plung
ing along, at furious rate, as if determi
ned to provoke race, or leave US in th'
rear-the bituminous fires burning 6ercel!
and dense volumes of black smoke rolling
from her chimneys, ,and darkenipg the sky
as if Tartarus itself we're aaoat on th'
river. Our Captain, however, did not in
crease his already rapid speed, but com
posedly suffered them to sweep past will
shouts of triumph, that might readily hav
been changed to screams Of terror, BY
few sparks on the dry and heated decl
from their blazing furnaces. But such
catastrophe, though imminent, did not en-
sue. Happening to waken about midnight
however, 1 found things changed some
what both boats putting on all steam
and rushing "neck and neck" down 81
Francis Bay-a long stretch Of water
where the river is fifteen miles wide frou
bank to bank--as if trying to get to "suu
rise" ahead of old Sol himself. But hav
ing less freight to land and fewer Stops
ses to make, the "MuDu" beat us int
Quebec half an hour, after all.

near 400 miles from the ocean, but With
reach of it, influence. The tide vas ou
