made, which Of course is much more
economical than setting the foot OF the
post on stone, or digging them when
the soil is hard or rocky. We have not,
however, az yet concluded any contract
for the fence and since the 6sh-breed-
ing department has been added, the Presis
dent having rejected the present OF ele-
plants from the King of Siam, and the
stock of the company has become so
much favorite in the New York market,
and so large an amount having been
taken by our foreign correspondents, and
the desire being so general in all the
principal cities in Europe Especially in
Paris, London and Antwerp,) that the
capital OF the company should be greatly
increased, and the amount already sub
scribed so largely exceeding any origi-
nally supposed want of the company, and
/
desire for an International commission
to cut down the stock equitably Unless the
enterprise could be enlarged to meet the
desires of the capitalists have con-
cluded TO wait until further advices are
rereived from abroad and in the mean
time try some of the specimens Of fence
which may be on exhibition ut our next
State Fair.
Not being able to find the article in
the N. K. Farmer of Feb. %, we can
give no opinion of its merits. The di-
rectors, however, made various sugges-
tons and enquiries. The matter Of ex-
pense is, as you see, OF no importance.
But will the fesce be stiff enough to
stand charge OF the moose, and at the
same time can be erected sufficiently
! high to prevent being scaled by the Elk
, and if necessary, in order to stop the
Elk, can it be top-poled without destroy
: ing its symetry? Or can it be bull
strong enough to secure the elephant
= off, red to our Government by the KinG
9 of Siam, in case President Lincoln should
= turn them over to u.s. We have ex
: amined your fence in the Farmer of las
a week, and find to our chagrin that it i
o lying fiat on the ground. Of course, w
n don't want that kind This fence Nigh
j. do, perhaps, for cattle-guard at a rail
+ road crossing, for which purpose it wa
, | doubtless intended. The animals we pro
pose to fence in, must have good bol'
fence standing up between them and day
- light. The fence, or any fence we ma,
, use, must in all respects bear the inspec

public notice Of thaa delay which will r.

Mr.. Tower, is indignant at the delay eve

the season. Should you desire a letter ,

bankers in Europe; and we have n
u doubt that if you can satisfy us of til
