Tl. ie extensive gardens ot Nicholas lngwortli, in tlie suburb of Cincinnati are-fi-need with, this plant. It has proved to be an effec tual barrier to intruders, w ho have en deavored to plunder his choice fruits grae, peaches, &c, owing to its armor of large pointed thorns. The seeds are sown in May, in beds like those of beets, and are set out next spring in hedge rows, six inches apart, and the tops cut off to the ground. It is a native of Texas and Arkansas, and will grfw-wineuriiw ern climate, except on very wet and cold soils. Large quantities of the seed have leen planted during tlie past two years in Ohio and othtfr western States, and im- ense tracks of land in tlioiw States will soon tic protected and adorned with this valuableplant.- J.

Why do not thoso of our citizens who have seen and admired the hedge fences in England,, introduce this kind of fence in this vicinity I Tho Illk nols Central Railroad Company have con tracted with JauieSSunipterjSC. of Montgomery Co;, 'Ohio, to'-' hedge with the- osnge orange, both sides for one hun dred miles of this railroad, commencing fifty miles north of Chicago ; this will re quire about two million of plants.- The ground along the line is to be cleared, lev elled, broken up, and prepared this ensu ing summer, and the plants are to be set out next spring.

SAWING, AND SAW MILLS, Having been a lumberman for many years part, both here and at the north, and desiring to put into onr tuilH here, the best machinery in use I took a tour to the State of Maine, thence lo Canidn, and Northern New York, and patiently examined all the best mills in these re gions. Being a millwright by trade, I found nothing to compare with what is termed " the line-log gang," as itsed in Maine and manufactured by Messrs. Hinkley &Egey, of Bangor. Tliese mills, for strength and ntility m every way ex. eel any mill in the country. They are a roller gang, consequently there is no time lost in gigging hack, nor in putting on the logs, ii.r yetlin taking off the kmUer when sawed ; one log follows through af ter another, the same as the plank in a Woodworth ulaninar niaclnne, anU with tsomethiilg like the same speed. The' log pass through the whole without any re gard to length. The lumber is then edg ed up by a circular saw, consequently the logs yield a much larger amount of lum ber, than when sawed in the common way. Gunir saws are also very thin and cut away very little stuff. These mills are Generally run with a velocity of from , , -,.", ,7;i ..-a U,P ,; anrl fWi f , h t0 Ulch 8trote.

NUMBER L TALE OF A P1X. In an early month of the year 1778, with a tolerable ed scat ion, ana with ma ny natural qualifications for a financial life, Jacques Lafitte was seeking for a sit- -nation as clerk. He had high hopes and a light heart, for he brought with him a letter-wf introd iiction to Mr- Perregaex. the Swiss banker. . But with all his san guine anticipations and golden day dreams lie was bashful and retiring. It was with a trembling heart that the young provin cial appeared before the Parisian man of bonds and gold. He managed to explain the purpose of his visit, and presented hi tetter of reeoiniuendution. Tlie bro ker quietly read the note. "It ia impos sible," said he, as he laid it aside, "that I can find room .for you at present ; all my offices are full. Should there be a vacan cy at a future time, I will see what can be done. In the meantime 1 advise you. to apply elsewhere, as it maybe a consid- ' erable period before I shall beble to ad mit foil." . Awav went lunxhinp and nrna- ""tperons visions! Disappointed and gloomy," Jacques (eft tho presence of the polite banker. As he crossed with downcast eyes tlie court-yard of tlie noble mansion, lie observed a pin lying ca tle ground. His habitual bUits of frugality, amidst his disappiutinMit, were still upon tho watch, lie picked up the pin and caro fully stuck it in the lappcl of his coat r From that trivial action sprung his fu ture greatness ; that one single act of fru- x CJlr0 RJld d ft(r little tliinrs. ope led the way to a stupendous fortune. Fro n- rom the window of his.,caUinet, Mr, Peprtgem had observed the action of bis rejected clerk, and he wisely .thought that the man who would stoop to pick up a pin, under such circarnstaiiceB, wa?' endowed with" necessary qlnalities lor a good economist ; he read i i that single act of parsimony an indication of a great financial mind, and he deemed the acquisition of snch ,. one as wealth itself. Before the day had closed, Lafitte received a noteiromJthe bahkefr A pToce," it said,,"i made fir you at my office, which yon may tako possession of to-morrow."
