The friends of agriculture are pleased with any circumstance tending to it* improvement. Amon^ the most impor tant is that relating to seeds. The dif ference between the best and poorest kind of vegetables, whether quantity or quality be considered, would afford ?he farmer a handsome profit. The fre quent interchange of s?cd, and the se lection of the best sorts, would soon gladden the face of nature. How many are there who Irvr on land and pretend to be farmers, who have received, through a long line of ancestors, and ^reserved as a precious legacy, the knurled, water-hearted potatoc. and think their labor well rewarded with 40 bushel* to the acre; when the new cros ses, of the English white, the yam or blue kinds, would produce 300 with equal ^se, and of a substance al most as farinaceous as the htarded wheat. The same observation may jlso be extended to almost all our seeds. With a soil adapted to the growth of every useful species of plant, avd with the means of forming an im mensity of compost and manure, our fields are meagre ar.d often disgraceful to our country. A few individuals are exciting themselves to produce a better state of things; either by reading, or travelling, or the attention of friends at j;_* a umancv, tuey are introducing varie ties of seed?, both to benefit the raising of stock, and to add to the number of gurden vegetables. The principal hope of success in the introduction and pro pagation of seeds ni'Ji; be from gardens: In them the seiJ is usually belter and more sheltered than in opt r. fields, re ceives morf attention from the hoc, and will of course have a more ample chance to shew its full excellence in raising plants. The variety of the beet called MANGEL VVRTZEL) which HOW often produces thirty tons of nutricious food to the acre, was first propagated in a rich soil, and there acquired the habit of large growth, in which, with proper treatment, it is still increasing; the same of the smooth parsnip, the large orange carrot, the drum itcad cabbage, and many others which are now considered the best growths. In New England we have gone on, generally, in the steps of our forefathers : the soils we used were ttandirJ and hereditary, and but few in number or variety ; and at this time we are destitute of what the Europeans consider their most delicious viands. The Broccoli is a variety of the cauli flower ? the seeds should be sown in May, and will product fine heads in Oc tober. It will continue, if planted in the cellar, to produce luxuriant heads in the winter. In the spring, if the stumps are planted, they will produce early and delicious sprouts. HgIcuh Jiicotor , or Niger*? This has been partially cultivated in this vicinity for two years past, and in the judgment of the best farmers, may be made to produce 100 bushels to the acre; this is vulgarly (.ailed chocrj/ate broom, and de serves particular notice as a substitute for choi olate, which it resembles sur prisingly in color and all its best quali ties; it is likewise, when ground, a highly farinaceous food, superior to buckwheat for domestic purposes, and in promoting the growth of poultry and stock, is not inferior to Indian meal. Millet. ? Its luxuriant growth, and nu tritive qualities, render it an object well dcrscrving cultivation. 1 might proceed to instance varieties of seeds, but at present forbear; closing my remarks with one sentence, in which 1 believe the most incredulous will con cur: ? "Those plants which will pro duce the greatest quantity of farinaceous food to the acre, will afford the most profit to the larmer; as they will enable linn to increase the number of his stock, the quantity of manure, and will pro mote the general improvement of his land." From a late London paper it appears that a new and easy method has lately been discovered in r.uglaiid, of prevent ing the destruction of the young turnip plants by the fly, and for which the dis coverer was rewauled with 200 guineas. It is merely to sow about 2 lbs. of radish seed on every acre of turnip land, with the turnip seed; the fly preferring to Iced on the radish plants will in such a case leave the turnip plants unmolested. One of the most effectual methods of preventing the ascent of insects on fruit trees, in the spring, is to draw a streak of tar round the body of the tree; but the surface of this soon becomes inc rutted by the warmth of the atmosphere, alio then the insects are enabled to pass this barrier. To remedy this, mix a pro portion of oil with the tar, which will prevent the hardening of the exterior for a considerable length of time, and when the effect* of the oil arr dissipated* let the exterior be again softened with oil. This plan is certainly one of the most effv actous for preventing insects from ascending the bodies of fruit trees. It is a fact well ascertained, that when apple trees are in bloom, if the farina be gathered from the blossoms of a tree bearing sour fiuit, and scattered on y>ose of a tr?*e bearing sweet, ih?* apples produced by these blossoms will partake of the flavor of both trees. In this way the flavor of fruit may be changed for the better ? a matter worthy of note, though perhaps not very profitable in practice. How to kill Caterpillars. Take of salt petre one ounce, sugar of lead |0 grains, ui. slacked lime 3 lbs. to this a'M 2 gallons of water, simmer it over a slow fire for one hour, and wash' the trees with it once a day for a week. ? This composition 1 have never known to fail. an old qardf.nkr. The following extract from a late number of the Rdinbuigh Review, forms a part of the notice of " Seyhert's Statistical Annals of ihe United States,*' and is ainuVuig at least, if not true: *' We can inform Jonathan what arc the inevitable con*equ<nces of b? ing too fond of glory. Taxes upon every arti cle which enters into the mouth, or cov ers the hack, or is placed under the loot ? taxes upon every thing winch is pleasuic to see, hear, feel, smell, or taste; taxes upon warmth, li^ht or lo comotion; taxes on every thing on earth, and the waters under the earth; on evei y thing that comes from abroad, or is grown at home; taxes on the raw mate rial, and taxes on every fresh value that is added to it by the industry of men; taxes on the sauce which pampers man's appetite, and the drug that re stores him to health; on the ermine w hich decorates the judge, and the rope w hich hangs the criminal; on the poor man's salt, and the rich man's spice; on the brass nails of the coffin, and the ribands of the bride; at bed or at board, couchant or levant we must pay! The schoolboy whips his taxed top; the beardless youth manages his taxed horse with a taxed bridle on a taxed road; and the dyin^ Englishman, pouring his med icine, w hich has paid 7 per cent, into a spoon that has paid 15 per cent, flings himself back upon his chintz bed, which has paid 22 per cent, makes his will on an eight pou.d s ump, and expires in the arms ot an apothecary, who has paid an hundred |>ounds for the privilege of putting him to death. His whole prop erty is then taxed from two to ten per cent, besides the probate. Large fees are demanded for burying him in the chancel; his virtues are handed down to posterity on taxed marble; and he is then gathered to his fathers to be taxed no more!" From the National Recorder. A few months ago, a farmer living a few miles from Easton, (Pa.) sent his daughter on horseback to that town, to procure frorn the bank smaller notes in exchange for one of one hundred dollars. When she arrived there the bank was shut, and she endeavored to effect her object by offering it at several stores, but could not ujet her note changed. She had not *;one far on her return, when a stranger rode up to the side of her horse, and escorted her with so much polite ness that she had not the slightest sus picion of any evil intention on his part. After a ride of a mile or two, employed in very social conversation, they came to a retired part of the road, and the gentleman commanded her to ?ive him the bank note. It was with some d:ffi culty that she could be made to believe him in earnest, as his demeanor had been so very friendly; but the presenta tion of a pistol placed the matter beyond I a doubt, and she yielded to necessity. Just as she held the note to him, a sud | den puff of wind blew it into the road, and carried it gently several yards from them. The discourteous knight alight* ed to overtake it, and the lady whipped her horse to get out of his power, and the other horse who had been left stand ing by her side, started off with her. His owner fired a pistol, which only tended to increase the speed of all par ties, and the young lady arrived safely at home with tho horse of the robber, on which was a pair of saddle bags. When these were opened, they were found to contain, besides a quantity of counterfeit bank notes, fifteen hundred dollars hi good money! The horse was a good one, and when saddled and bridled, was thought to be worth at least ss much as the bank note that was stolen. As this story is somewhat wonderful, 1 enclose you my name as a voucher for the truth of it, ?pd am yonrs, fee. ??SKKBaaso HOUSE OF BEPRESEJTTJtTIVES. Saturday, May 13. Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, from the committee of accounts, to whom was referred the report of the speaker, and his account, with the vouchers in support thereof, respecting the expend iture for furnishing the hall and offices of the house of representatives, made a report, which was read, and the resolu tion appended thereto was agreed to as follows: Rrtolved% That the house doth ap prove of the said expenditure, amount ing to the sum of twenty -four thousand nine nundred and seven dollars thirty seven and a half cents, and that it be certified to the treasury accordingly. Mr^tStorrs, from the committee on roads and canals, to which was referred - the bill from the senate, entitled 44 An act for the appointment of commission ers to lay out a canal in the state of O hio," reported the same without amend ment; and it was referred to the com mitteee of the whole, to which b com mitted the bill providing for the preser vation and repair of the Cumberland roar!. The hill from the senate, granting to the state of Ohio the right of pre-emp tion to certain quarter sections of lands; the bill from the senate for the relief of the inhabitants of the village of Peoria, in the state of Illinois, were severally read a third time, passed, and returned to the senate. The bill from the senate to provide rcli-'f for sick and disabled seamen, was read a third time, as amended, and pas se<i. The engrossed bill to authorise the president of the United States to bor row three millions of dollars, was read a third time, passed, and sent to the senate for concurrence. The hills which were, in the session oi last evening, ordered to be engios^. d for a third rending, were read a third time, passed anJ sent to the senate for concurrcnce. TONNAGE DVTY OS FREXOK SHIPS. The house then resoived itself into a committee of the whole, on the bill to impose a new tonnage duty on French ships and vessels. The first section of this bill provides, that, in lieu of the tonnage duty now paid on French ships or vessels, there shall be paid a duty of eighteen dollars per ton, on all French ships or vessels, which shall be entered in the United States, any act to the contrary notwith standing. Proviitcd , howr-upr, T'nat nothing contained in this act shall br: so construed as to prevent the extension of the provisions of the act, entitled " An act to repeal so much of the several acts imposing duties on the tonnage of ships and vessels, and on goods, wares and merchandize, imported into the United States, as imposes a discriminating duty on tonnage between foreign vessels and vessels of the United Slates, ami be tween the goods imported into the Uni ted Slates in foreign vrsse.h, and vessels of the United States," to French ships and vessels, and the goods imported therein, whenever the government <>f France shall accede to the provision* of the a? t above referred to. Sec. 2. That the tonnage duty, laid and directed to be paid by this act, shall be collected and paid according to the provisions of the act, entitled 44 An act to regulate the collection of duties on imports and tonnage," passed the second iky of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety -nine. Sec. 3. That tins act shall commence, and be in force, from and after the fir ,i day of July, one thousand eight hundred aim twcmy. Mr Newton, the chairman of the committer of commerce, pave a brief exposition of the causes which rendered expedient the passage of this bill. The documents laid before con^rtss on the subject, he said, shewed that all at tempts at negotiation on it had failed. The policy of the United States ?>ad beer just and liberal: we had offered every thing that could be oflYted, on terms of reciprocity, to inducc France to abandon her policy, so injurious to our commcrcial and navigating interest. We had offered her the same terms as had been accepted by Rvissia, by the Netherlands, by the Hanscatic cities; but we had offered it in vain. He was very sorry, he said, that it be came his duty now to advocate a policy which was abhorrent to his mind ? that of restrictions on commcrce. He was happy that our government had shewn to the nations oi the world the example of placing commerce on the most libe ral looting, but, as France had refused to reciprocate that liberality, it has now become our imperious duty to come back, in regard to Franec, to the policy which she herself pursues. In conse quence of her illiberality in this respect, we are compelled to resort to the mu
