Besides his pictorial sketches, which are of the most truthful and natural description, he has collected many interesting historical incidents from aged patriots, in whose minds the memory of the trying scenes of the Revolution is still fresh. All the illustrations are accompanied by well-written descriptions and explanations, which comprise both the historical facts with which they are connected, and the personal observations of the author. Altogether, the work is one which has many attractions, especially to the young, by whom it cannot fail to be read with great avidity. The engravings are of a style not inferior to anything of the kind which has ever appeared, and the whole execution of the work is of the very best character. It is issued semi-monthly, and will be completed in about twenty-numbers, of forty-eight pages each, octavo; the price only twenty-five cents a number. HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.-This highly useful work, which was only commenced in June, has already attained an unprecedented circulationFIFTY THOUSAND copies being issued. The publishers say it is their "leading object to present to the public, in handsomer style, and at a cheaper rate, a greater amount of reading matter, combining entertainment with instruction, than is given in any other periodical in the world." It is certainly the medium of circulating a very great amount of valuable information. The work is handsomely printed, on good paper, and is issued monthly, at twenty-five cents per number. HARPER & BROTHERS, New. York. Answers to Correspondents. STEEL CULTIVATOR TEETH.-D. M., Louisa C. H., Va. Rogers' patent steel cultivator teeth are made by various persons. The form of the bottom of the tooth, as now preferred, is triangular. From seven to nine teeth are used for two-horse or field cultivators. The teeth are so long as not be liable to clog. Nathan Ide, Shelby, Orleans county, N. Y., manufactures cultivators for preparing ground for wheat and other grain, which have been much approved. D. Hinkston, Clarkson, Monroe county, and E. R. Dix, Vernon, Oneida county, make good articles of this kind. We have not their prices. For sowing wheat on corn ground," the use of the cultivator is sufficient, without the plow, if the soil is rather loose; but if it is hard, as clayey soil is likely to be, it had better be plowed. The same remark will apply to sowing spring grains on land | To our Agents and Correspondents. To our AGENTS,-who have heretofore done so much to promote the circulation of our journal, and to whom we tender our grateful acknowledgments, -we send with this number a Prospectus for our next year's volume, together with a copy of THE PICTORIAL ALMANAC, for 1851, a copy of which is to be sent to all subscribers for next year, and so. licit a continuance of their kind offices in behalf of THE CULTIVATOR. It will be seen by reference to the last page of this number, that we have renewed our liberal list of Premiums to Agents, for which we trust there will be a spirited competition. We tender our hearty thanks to all those CORRESPONDENTS who have contributed so liberally to our pages, the past and previous years. It is to them that THE CULTIVATOR is indebted for a large portion of its interest and usefulness; and we should be glad to receive contributions for our pages from a much larger number of its readers than heretofore. We trust our friends will not be backward in this matter. We want the details of practice and experiments, and facts and suggestions on all subjcets in which the farmer is engaged,-everything, indeed, which will enlighten the mind, and increase the profits of the farm. Will not many of those who have been reaping the benefit derived from information received through THE CULTIVATOR, NOW come forward with their quota for the benefit of others? IMPORTATION OF CATTLE INTO NEW BRUNSWICK. —Mr. JOHN H. REID, of Fredericton, N. B., has imported from England a short horn bull and heifer, which we are informed are of the best blood. They were purchased for Mr. R. by H. STRAFFORD, Esq., editor of the Herd Book. The bull, Giovanni, (vol. 9, H. B. 10272,) was bred by Mr. Harvey Combe, Cobham, Surrey. He was calved February 10, 1850. The heifer was bred by Mr. John Bell, Kirkleavington, Yorkshire. She was calved February 13, 1848, and is in calf by Grand Duke, which was sold at the sale of the late Mr. Bates' herd for £215,50. Mr. REID has also imported some valuable swine; and with the fine assortment of poultry which he has collected, we presume his place presents many attractions. COMMUNICATIONS have come to hand, since our last, from B. P. J., H. C. Meriam, S. W. Jewett, Prof. Norton, A Subscriber, J. W. Proctor, S. B. Buckley, T. S. Gold, John Townley, W. A. Ela, Reviewer, C. H. McCormick, L. M. Vail. BOOKS, PAMPHLETS, &c., have been received as follows: Pictorial History of the Revolutson, by B. J.

Gorrie -from LEWIS COLBY, publisher, New-York. $25 each. One pair four-year-old oxen, $100; one pair three-year-olds $80; two pair two-year-olds an average of $54 each; two pair yearlings an average of $38.50 each. Of the swine, one Suffolk sow, (imported,) six years old, brought $80; another, two and a-half years old, $60; another four years old, $40; an Essex sow, with nine pigs, $129; a Suffolk, with six young pigs, $110; two Suffolk sows, ten months old, $42.50 each. POULTRY SHOW AT BOSTON.-The first exhibition of the New England Society for the Improvement of Poultry, was held at the Public Garden in Boston, on the 12th, 13th and 14th of November last. In extent, the display exceeded the expectations of all, and in this respect it was probably unequalled by anything of the kind which was ever before known. The report of the officers will show the details. The whole number of specimens was upwards of twelve thousand. All classes of domestic poultry were re V. B.

The Illustrated Domestic Bible, by the Rev. Ingram Cobbin, parts VIII and IX-from the publisher, SAMUEL HUESTON, New-York. LARGE CAULIFLOWER.-We have received from Mr. B. B. KIRTLAND, of the Cantonment Farm, Greenbush, a cauliflower which weighed, closely trimmed, twelv epounds. It was of delicious quality. Mr. K. has been very successful in the culture of this vegetable. His soil is a slaty loam. His method of cultivation is to dig a hole a foot deep, and eighteen inches square; fill it half full with common yard manure, unrotted; lay a fresh sod, three inches thick, grass downward, on the manure; fill the hole with soil, and set the plant. The plants are first started in a hot-bed, and set out in May. We have also received from Mr. JOHN S. GOOLD, of this city, very fine specimens of the Walcheren cauliflower, grown by him. This variety is of superior delicacy and flavor. FRUITS FROM CLINTON COUNTY, N. Y.-We have received from JONATHAN BATTEY, of Keeseville, specimens of the "Northern Sweet" apple, and also a sweet apple under the name of "Surpasse Tallman." The first named was brought to the notice of the Congress of Fruit-growers, last year, and recommended for cultivation. As a sweet apple, we know of none superior to it, in its season-October | and November. The "Surpasse Tallman" is a fine and handsome apple, somewhat similar in character to the Tallman Sweeting, but rather richer and sweeter. We do not know for what particular qualities Mr. BATTEY thinks the Surpasse superior to its predecessor. Mr. B. sent us a specimen of a pear, called "Platt's Seedling." We have received no particulars in regard to its origin or qualities. The specimen sent was very fair, and of good size. It was so much over ripe that we could not fairly judge of its qualitles. It is sweet, melting and juicy. the largest portion of the show. In this department, ble mixture, was brought out-from the pert little almost every distinct variety, as well as every possi Bantam of one pound, to the gigantic Malay of twelve pounds weight. The latter tribe of fowls greatly took the lead as to numbers. The object of most of the breeders of this stock, appeared to be to produce the largest frame; and hence a large proportion of the fowls exhibited, were of awkward, uncouth form, with enormous bones, and with comparatively small amount of flesh. There were, however, some exceptions to this, indicating that in judicious hands, a valuable variety of fowls may, by long-continued selection, be bred from this large Asiatic stock. In support of this remark, we might refer to the superior specimens offered by WM. BENT, Cochituate, and the fine white fowls offered by A. A. ANDREWS, Dedham. Turkies presented but little variety. A singular freak of nature was seen in a male bird of this spe cies, belonging to Dr. H. C. PARKER, of Manchester, N. H. A small bunch of feathers, several inches in length, grew from the back of the head, in the form of a plume. There were three species of phesants-the English, and the golden and silver Chinese. Pigeons of several species, and all the fancy varieties were shown. The web-footed birds comprised all domestic species, including swans, and several species of geese and ducks, not common in a domestic state. Among the rarities in this department, was a pair of Egyp tian geese, (Chenalopex egyptiacus,) exhibited by JOHN GILES, of Providence, R. I. We are not aware that this singular species has been before introduced into this country. Among the ducks, were fine specimens of the Aylesbury, the beautiful Summer or Wood duck, the Teal, the Pin-tail, and the Diver. Several very large and interesting collections of birds, comprising many of the most rare kinds, were offered by various individuals; among which we no. ticed those of THOS. E. CHICKERING, Roxbury; JOHN GILES, Providence, R. I.; SAML. JAQUES, Jr., Somerville; W. W. CHENERY, West Cambridge, and others. SALE OF THE STICKNEY STOCK.-We noticed, briefly in our last, the sale of the live stock of the late WM. STICKNEY, at Westminster, Vt., on the 9th of October. We have since received a detailed account of the sale from W. S. KING, Esq. of Manton, R. I., by whom the sale was conducted. From this account it appears that the full blood Devons brought prices averaging as follows: viz., three bulls, $149.33 each; three cows, from three to eleven years old, $109.16 each; one two-year old $160; one yearling $150. Twelve grade cows, three years old and over, brought an DEATH OF A NOTED HORSE.-We are informed average of $58.33 each.

Students taken with special reference to their becoming instructors. A Course of Lectures upon Scientific Agriculture, by Prof. NORTON, will commence about the middle of January, and continue two and a half months. This course is intended to present a plain and intelligible view of the connections of science with agriculture, which may be understood by any farmer. Mr. Wurtz proposes to lecture on some points of Applied Chemistry during the summer term. The lectures of Prof. SILLIMAN on Geology and Mineralogy, and those of Prof. OLMSTED, on Natural Philosophy, Astronomy and Meteorology; also the college libraries and cabinets, are accessible to the students. For information as to terms, &c., apply to Prof. NORTON, A New Hardy Climber. THE new and beautiful CLIMBER, Calestigia pubescens, recently introduced from China, by Mr. Fortune, proves perfectly hardy in New England, having stood in the grounds here the past winter, without the least protection. Trained to a single pillar, say 10 feet in height, it is a very striking and beautiful object from the middle of June till cold weather, during which time it is covered with a profusion of its large double flowers, of a delicate rose color. It is very ornamental planted in patches like the verbenas; makes an admirable screen, and is very effective in young plantations, belts, or shrubberies, trailing prettily on the surface, and running up among the lower brauches of trees in a very picturesque manner. It is, therefore, particularly suited for ornamenting cemeteries and public gardens. Its culture is very simple, and it thrives in any good garden soil. When required in considerable quantities, it is best to start it under glass in February or March, but the tubers may also be planted in the open ground in May. The subscriber will send to order, by mail or express, October 20th, tubers sufficient for 100 plants, at $5.00; 50 plants, $3.00; with directions for propagation and culture. Strong plants in pots, in April, $1 per pair. B. M. WATSON. CHARTER unlimited. Granted January 2, 1850. Capital Geo. W. Merchant's Celebrated Gargling Oil.

Merchant-SIR-I must relate a new case in which your Gargling Oil has done great things, I heard a man telling to-day that his little girl had a sore knee that had had a thick scab on for a long time. He had a Doctor attending it, but he could do nothing with it. What it was I do not know, but the scab was from a half, to one inch thick, and covered the whole knee-pan. He said he had the Gargling Oil in the house, and it struck him that it might cure. He put it on, and in two days half the scab came of. He then applied it the second time, and in a day or two the other half came off, and he found a new skin coming on it, with the exception of a few places. He applied it the third time and now she is perfectly well of it. P. B. MASSER. Extract of a letter ordering a new supply of Gargling Oil, dated, North Bergen, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1850.

Dec. 1-11. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. THE LEADING AND LARGEST WEEKLY IN THE UNION. THE SATURDAY EVENING POST is now, beyond all denial, the leading as well as the largest Weekly Paper in the United States FIRST NOVELISTS IN AMERICA, MRS. EMMA D. E. N. SOUTHWORTH, author of "RETRIBUTION," "THE DESERTED WIFE," "SHANNONDALE," etc., by which the productions of her gifted pen will be secured hereafter, (with the exception of an occasional story in a Washington paper) EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE POST. Mrs. Southworth, as an American Novelist of great power-a rising Star in the West-has been hailed with acclamation by all those who can recognize genius as well in a native as in a foreign author. We design to commence a NEW STORY BY MRS. SOUTHWORTH, about the beginning of the year. How many stories she will be able to furnish during 1851, will depend upon the state of her health, &c We trust, however, that we shall be able to lay before our readers, at least THREE of those splendid productions which have made her name already so distinguished. In the intervals of Mrs. Southworth's Novelets, we design publishing other and shorter Novelets from authors of admitted celebrity. We have two now on hand, which we shall publish as soon as possible: THE IRON HAND, by T. S. ARTHUR, ESQ, THE TEXAN HUNTRESS, by C. W. WEBBER, Author of "Old Hicks, the Guide," "The Shot in the Eye,” etc. And mark this! What the proprietors of the Post promise, they perform-or do better. They do not announce a long list of distinguished contributors, with whom they have made no arrangement, and whose stories never appear. Such a system may delude an intelli. gent public one year, but it will not answer a second time. If the public are humbugged once, it is the fault of the humbugger; if twice, it is their own. In addition to such choice ORIGINAL articles, involving a large outlay of money, the columns of the Post will contain a great amount of Miscellaneous reading-such as the CREAM OF THE FOREIGN PERIODICALS. Witty and Humorous Articles, Selections from the Agricultural Journals, Riddles and Conundrums, etc., etc. REPORTS OF LECTURES-during the past year we gave the celebrated Lectures on Shakspeare by Mr. Dana; and the instructive and interesting ones of Dr. Baird upon Europe-Letters from Abroad-General News-Reports of the Markets-a Bank Note and Stock List, etc., etc. One or more PORTRAITS of remarkable persons, or PICTURES OF REMARKABLE PLACES are also weekly given A MORAL PAPER. In conclusion, we may say-that we shall maintain for the Post the character it has acquired of being a strictly moral paper; one that a parent may allow to go freely before his innocent sons and daughters. We need hardly repeat here, that the Post has done more to prevent the publication and sale of immoral works, than any half-a-dozen other papers in the land. A careful guard shall also be kept, as heretofore, over our ADVERTISING COLUMNS, that nothing of an improper character may obtain admittance. In short, whatever is calculated to refine, instruct, amuse, or gratify, shall find its appropriate place in the POST; and let the reader mark one thing, whatever others may promise, we will not be behind in the performance. A paper that has stood for 20 years, steadily progressing all that time, and which has now the largest list of subscribers of any paper of the same class in the United States, is not to be left behind in the race by any rival. TERMS. The terms of the POST are Two Dollars if paid in advance, Three Dollars if not paid in advance. For five Dollars one copy is sent three years. We continue the following low terms for Clubs, to be sent, in the city, to one Address, and, in the country, to one post-office.

Y., bay August last; her dam by the Green Mountain Morgan, grandam, Messenger; also a chestnut colored stallion, one year old last July, no white except about half of one hind foot; his dam by the old General Hebard Morgan. A colt foaled on the 30th day of April last, mahogany bay, with a small star in his forehead, a small spot on his upper lip, and one hind foot nearly to the ancle joint white; his dam, my Green Mountain mare, mother of the two-year old filly described above; and lastly, a chestnut filly, with no white upon her, foaled 20th day of June last, from a mare from which has been raised at least two very fast horses. My mare, by Green Mountain, and another one by a colt of the old Woodbury, appear to be now in foal by old Gifford. Still I have, in common with others, reason to feel deep regret that so valuable a sire has passed beyond our reach. The increasing demand for the Morgan stock of horses, through the length and breadth of the United States and the Canadas, is a recommendation in their favor, much stronger that anything that I or any other individual can say or write in their praise."
