New York City One Hundred and
Thirty-tWO Years Ago.

The city may contain near $500
buildings of brick and stone, stands on
an eminence, and being surrounded
with modern Notifications, makes a
fine appearance. 1t is q mile in length
and half a mile in breadth. 1t has a
spacious harbOr, commodiOus quays,
with warehouses on them, and employs
several hundred ships in its trade and
fisheries. This is thought to be as
healthy a spot as any in the world.
The east and south parts, in general,
are low; bat the rest is situated on a
dry, elevated soil. The streets are ir-
regular, but being paved with round
pebbles, are very clean. No part of
America has greater plenty and variety
in its markets. They have beef, pork,
mutton, poultry, butter, wild fowl,
venison, fish, roots and herbs of all
kinds in their seasons. Oysters are a
considerable part of the support of the
poor, and that single article is com
puted to be worth annually ten or
twelve thousand pounds; some kinds
are very large, so that one or two of
them fry'd, etc, are meal for rea-
sOnable appetite. The fort upon the
southwest point of the city is a square
with four bastions; within the
walls is the house in which the Gov
| ernOrs usually reside, and opposite to
it are brick barracks for the in
dependent companies. AT the south end
was formerly chapel, but this was
burnt down in the negro conspiracy of
1741. Here are two Dutch, two Epis-
copal, one French and two German
! Lutheran churches; one Presbyterian,
one Anabaptist, one Qsakers and one
| Moravian meeting houses, and one
| Jews synagogue. The City Hall is a
strong brick building, oblOng and two
stories high, with two wings at right
angles with the center. The floor be-
| low is an open walk, except two goals
and the gOaler's apartments. The
| cellar underneath is a dungeon. and the
| garnet is a common prison. This edi-
| flee is erected in place where four
| streets meet, and fronts to the south
west one of the most spacious streets
| in the town. The eastern wing con-
1 tains, in the second story, the assem-
! bly-room, lobby and the speaker s
/ chamber The west wing, on the same
| floor, forms the council-rOom and a Ii
| brary, and in the middle space the Su-
! preme Court is usually held. The CITY
| is divided into seven wards, and is I'M
/ der the government of a Mayor, Re-
! corder, seven Aldermen, and seven
| Common Council men. The standing
! militia consists of about 1890 men,
and the city has in reserve 1000 stand
of arms for seamen, the poor, etc, in
case of an invasiOn.-LOndOn Magazine

A Bat and Its Wings.

There is a singular property with
which the bat is endowed, too remark
able and curious to be passed altogether
unnoticed. The wings of these Great
ures consist of a delicate and nearly
naked membrane of great size, consid-
ering the size of the body; but besides
this the nose is, in some varieties, fur
nished with q membranOus foliatiOu,
and in others the external membranous
ears are greatly developed. The men,
bTanOus tissues have their sensibility so
high that something like new sense is
thereby developed, as if in ~, of the

An exchange says that it would be
a great advantage to farmers if the
managers of fairs would offer a pre-
MUM for the best collection of danger
Gus and troublesome weeds in pots, and
the best mode of getting rid of them.
There is nothing that would be of more
benefit or interest to the farming COM
munity. The total loss to farmers from
weeds is immense. There is hardly q
farm crop whose yield is not diminished
| by them. Some of the worst weeds in
the country are plants originally sent
| forth as flowers.

horses Is inl reas' ng every year, and, as
the supply does not appear to increase
in the same proportion, prices are run

Winter Rye.

Winter rye if sOwed early is less apt
to winter kill; it will require less seed,
the growth will be stOuter, and the pro-
ductiOn greater, other things being
equal, than if the sowing was deferred
till late in autumn. 1t is sown early to
great advantage, in order to yield green
food for cattle and sheep, particularly
the latter. Rye is capable of being cult
waited on most kinds of land, but the
light, sandyusOils, where wheat will not
thrive, are the sorts of soil on which it
will, generally speaking, be found most
profitable to raise this crop. When rye
is sOwn upon light land it ripens much
earlier than on a cold, stiff ground.
Some sow their winter rye at the last
hOeing of Indian corn. and hoe it in.
This is a good practice, when it is sown
on fiat land, or on a rich and heavy
soil, where grain is apt to suffer by the
first of winter; for the plants of rye
will be mostly on the corn-hills, and so
will most commonly escape Jury from
frost, or as many of them as are neces-
sary to give good crop. The plants
that are killed viii be those in the low
spaces between the hills. The quantity
of seed to be sown on an acre should
vary according to the time of sowing,
and the purposes for which it is intend
ed. If it be sown in the latter part of
August or beginning of September, and
is intended to remain for a seed crop,
the quantity should vary from thirty
two to fOrty-eight quarts, according to
the goodness of the soil. Later sowing
requires more seed, and in some cases two
bushels to an acre will not be too great
a quantity, for where the blade, haum
or stalks form the primary objects a
much larger proportion of seed is req
uisite than when the crop is meant for
harvesting Winter rye affords the ear
lest spring food; it will be ready for
feeding by April, and while young,
affords a wholesome but rather laxative
food. 1t should be consumed before it
shoots into ear, and dry food is recon-
mended TO be fed with it. Rye is much
infested by a very poisonous fungus
called ergot. The poisonous influence
of this fungus extends not only to hui
man beings. but insects settling on it
are killed, and swine, poultry and 9th
or animals eating it in their food die
| miserably in strong commissions, and
with Notifying ulcers. Ergot of rye
is, however, in the hands of a skillful
physicians useful as a remedial agent.
1t is chiefly found where rye grows in
damp, adhesive soils. From expert
