Copy from tlic catalogue kept a: the Inn of Paikhunst Whitney at the Niaga¬ ra Falls. May, 6th. 182C. Dr. JoJin Howison, U. C. vifitcd the Falls and tnvorsed the romantic recesses of Goat Lland—beautiful weather, and the luxuriant verdure of an early spring, con¬ spired to abllractthe mind from every tiling painful, and to render it serene as the di¬ vine atmosphere of happy Canada. The hon. Augustus Porter deserves the thank- of all persons of taste. The bridge which Julius Cscar made. When P ni s9 stream bis marchconSn'd A ftructure and a f-»rm displayed Which were admired by a!l mankind. But Porter well may claim the bays This work bestow'd on Csc^ars brow, And Crssar's merit, Carers praise, In truth bi-longs to Pouer now. For by his genius he has won A victory obtained by few ; His glory lies in having done What others scarce dar'd hope to do. Thanks Porter, thanks, for all 1 see, For all thy wopdrou* bridge has shown ; Nature applauds to >— for by thee Her noblelt scene has been made known. C. Argus* j. H, SVJ AGRICULTURAL. From the Code of /gricviturs, by Sir John Sinclair, Bart. Harvesting Com when cm down, Is usually put in¬ to (heaves and shock (provfn ially stooh), or tw.. rows of five or six flieavefl c<ich, with two mi»re spread open on the top, for protection a^ainil rain, called the hooding* In wet lesions* the crop is frequently put int > fmall (lark* in the field, where it re¬ mains till it be fit to be removed to the fta k-yard. The expense, when the work is properly condn&ed is not confiderable. By making the (lack in the centre of the fpacc from which the corn is to be carried, the operation goes on very qnickW: In one day, in the precarious harveft of X81-61 Sn eminent farmer in Eaft Lothain. pecur- *d. in this waj, thirty-two ftatute acres, fa Which grass seeds had been fown, at an ex¬ pense of about two (hilling? per acre Nineteen men were employed, of whom twelve were put to carry the corn upon liand-barrows to the ftack. three to build, three to f >ik, and one to dress the (lack?, and to rake up the loofe com. The ground was fo wet at the time, that had carts and horfei been put upon it, the young grass would have been deftroyed. When corn is sufficiently dry, it is car- ried, either into a barn, or flacked in a yard, adjoining to the farm offices. The latter plan is preferable, on various ac¬ counts. 1. The grain and draw, if put into a batn, muft be much drier than is tieceflary for the largeft ricks, and confe- qnently. mult be longer expofed to the vi- ciffitndef of the weather. 2. In barns, the grain is. peculiarly liable to the depre¬ dations of vermin. 3. Corn in the (haw, keeps much better in the open air, than in clofe barns. 4. The expense of conllrutV lag, and keeping thefe buildings in repair, is very confiderable. The old practice, of (lacking -orn on the ground, in the yard, even though bottomed tffvvhhAotfaiyUtfM»] vravlii^thy •.sceoiiou- ( ahfc ; part of the grain being apt to im¬ bibe moifture, and the whole bring liable to the depredations of vermin : but now, c^rn might b' preferved in the open air, either in com ftand^bnilt of ft >ne or buck, or upon pillars, made of (lone or caft iron, tvi bout receiving the flighted damage. Where caft iron is acceflilve. that mate- ial isio He preferred, as no vgicBin can get op fo flipper? a furface. Seven 01 nine pil- la- ru caft iron, are fufficient for a com- Tnon fized (lack or rick, the expenfe of which, will not exceed from forty to fixty flailing?, according to the price of iron. The frame of coaife wood, on which the corn to laid, ufually eofts from eight or ten, to Thirty or forty (hillings more. The wljole amount is often repaid by the fav- jng of the firft year. There i< a practice in Scotland, of us¬ ing what ic called bosses, which, when join¬ ed to caft iron pillars, has brought the flacking of corn to great perfection. They are thus formed. \ triangle is firft ereft cd in the middle of the frame which forms a boss or hollow, about three feet wide ; —a few fpars of fir are nailed nccross the boss, fo clofe, a* to preferve the (heaves from falling into it ; but when thefe can¬ not be got, a lliaw rope is commonly ufed in their (lead After the builder has reach¬ ed the top of the boss, he places on it a sack fil'ed with ft:aw which,-when he builds round it, he pulls up, until he reaches the top of the ftack. By thefe means, crops of wheat, barley, or oats, can be harvefted in half the ufnal time, and be preferved in much better condition. It may be proper to add, that, in very bad harvelis, by means of the invention of bof- fss, one row of (heaves of corn, may be put on the ftack*, " from the sickle," (.placing the heads of the (heaves to the centre) and ro*y th'Js be effeAually secured—a great ^bje&'in a wet climate. The barvelling of beau*, being often at¬ tended with peculiar difficulties, the im provtnents which have been made in that opt ration, defcrve to be more fully describ¬ ed Aftrr they arc cut down, a.id put in fmall [heaves not exceeding from six to eight inches in diameter th y ought robe . nrttcdhtely co'iv-y..1, if intended to be M J *;*cdby a crop of wheat, to dry in another held, x'or the fcafon of fowihg may b£o- therwife loft. The additional trouble and expenfe of their removal, is amply compen- Ltcd, by the difference in value, between a crop of wheat, and that of any other grain. Beans, on this plan, if put in an airy filtration, will be fuJficiently dry to be (lacked on cad-iron pillars, with bosses, in feven or eight days, according to the ftate in which they were cut, and of the wea¬ ther ; but frequently in half the ufual time in which they would be fit for (tacking, if left on the foil where they were raifed. By the operations above detailed, namely, the cutting off the tops ot beans;—reap¬ ing them early ;—conveying them "to ano¬ ther field to dry;—HTid (lacking them on can-iron pillar*, with boflVs, the harvefling of beans is confiderably accelerated, while more time is given to prepare the foil, and the wheat may be fown earlier in the lea- f m ;—advantages "of no common mag¬ nitude. Corn (lacks arc, in fomc diftricts, btsflt in an oblong, inllead of a round form ; but though thde oblong conductions, require less time and labour, and fewer covering materials than the others, yet they are ob- j<cted 10, as interrupting the free circula¬ tion of the air in the corn-yard—being more liable to injury En damp weather,— and, unices carefully placed, more apt to be overturned by wind, than thofe of a round conftruflion. Before concluding this fubjeft, it fa pro¬ per flrongly to inculcate the neceffity, of unceafing activity at that critical period when the labours of harveft are going on. Some husbandmen have rarely, it ever, any fpoilcd grain in their pnfieflion ; while others from their negligence, arc fclclom without it. A difpofition to trifle or pro craltina^e and to rely on t> c continuance of good weather, is quite unbecoming the the charader of an induftrioos and intrlli gent husba«idman ; and there cannot be a better criterion, to judge of" the agrieultu ral iskiil and spirit of .u-.y particular dillrict, or t ie management of thole who cultivate it, than to a ("certain how the bufiincas of the harvell is profecuted.

One of the Gtfe(fr»* Waddills informed us that at leall one half of thefe apples grew on three of the ten trees.
