Mirror. wom a AGRICULTURAL. From the Geneses Farmer, FRUIT. The present is a most prolific fruit season. \'he country bordering on the great lakes and Niagara River is perhaps the very best fruit country in America, as but one year has been known since its settlement (1834) in which the fruit has failed, and even then 'some orchards yielded a tolerable fair crop. All tho fruits which have already ripened have been in uncommon abundance,; 31nd those yet to ripen were never more prolific. Even the crab apple and wild plum, of which thore is the greatest abundance between Ton- awanda and Niagara Falls, and on the isl- ands of the Ningara, are most abundant. 'The nut trees too, such as the black walnut, butternut; hickory and beech nuts, are full almost to breaking. _ Indeed, the year 1835 will horeaftor be referred to as an era in the annals of fruit bearing. - 'The Niagara fron- tier above the mountain at. Lewiston is not the best country for the peach, nectarine and apricot, but for the other fruits of our clgmate, no country is superior. _ Such magnificent plums I never saw elsewhere. I have just brought in a large fruit dish of plums from my garden of a description that 1 never saw before, nor are they described in any work I have read. - I found the tree, then very small, in the front door yard of the house I occupy when I first removed into it six years ago. It stood and bore fruit one season after I pos- sessed it, and although I only obtained two or three of the plums, I thought them of such su- porior quality, that I determined to remove the tree into my garden back of my house and preserve it. | I did so, and it is now a beautiful tree in fine beating, having perhaps at this time half a bushel of most choice and porfect fruit upon it. The plum is as sweet and luscious as a yel- low gage, about the size and shape of a pul- lot's egg, but decply cleft in one side. 'The color varying from a deep rich purple, almost black at times, around the lower part, and fa- ding as it approaches the stem and towards the cleft, into a light purple or red ground, from that to the stem and into the cleft to a bright green and flesh color; beautifully mot- tled and speckled with red and yellowish flecks. At the insertion of the stem it is near- ly yellow. - The whole-covered with a light bloom or powder. «It is also a clingstone. 1 am thus particular in its description, be- cause I deem it a valuable acquisition to the plum variety. - I intend to propagate it in my own grounds, and have some flourishing trees now grafted with it. I shall be happy to see it more extensively cultivated, and out of re- gard for my excellent and highly valued friend at Albany, who has added so much to our val- uable fruits, I call it the Bust plum. I in- tend the coming winter to send him some thrifty scions for propagation. It is no doubt a seedling as other common kinds were plant- ed near it. My Isabella, Catawba, Munier and Bur- gundy grapes are very full, and promise abundantly. - Indeed, 1 last year had abun- dance of grapes, although the fruit was most- ly cut off. Umaius. PROPER TIME FOR CUTTING TIMBER. py sosuva Howarp. Mr. Tucker-I observe in your paper of the 22d August last, that you are calling the attontion of your patrons to the durability of posts, &c. During the last twenty years I have been engaged more or less in the pre- servation of timber, and from my experience am able to say withconfidence, the old opin- ion of Eglish writers to the contrary notwith- standing, that the best time to cut timber to insure its durabilty, is when the tree is in its oreEarzar vicos; and in this latitude, say middle of June-then the sap is in its most fluid state, and entirely escapes through the sevoral pores of the tree. 'The idea that the sap of a tree recedes to its roots during win- ter, is in my opinion a mistaken notion. 'The sap is distributed through the tree in winter tho samo as in summer, and circulation never ceases, oxcopt with the life of the tree. The sap in winter is less in quantity and thicker, and owing to its stagnant state, remains in the timber when it is cut in winter, and becomes the principle of its destruction. Let timber for rails, posts, or otherpurposes, be cut when itis in its greatest vigor, (never mind the phase of the moon,) and keep it off the ground until seagoncd. In support of my position, I will repoat two instances which have lately come* to my knowledgo. A farmer in North Caro- lina wishing to fence a certain lot, went to work according to the old theory, and cut his rail timber during the full of the moon in Feb- ruary; but when he come to make his fence in May he was deficient about 40 pannels; he went into the woods and cut the necessary quantity as the only alternative; and after some ten or twelve years, his attention being called to the fence, he found the rails cut and split in May infinitely more sound than those cut in February. Another gentlemanin New England had an accident befall a gate post in mid summer, and not having any seasoned timber on hand, sent to the woods for a green one, and expecting that it would only last a year or two, had one cut during the next win- ter and laid by to supply the place of the green ono. at his leisure. But during the ensuing summer the other post failed, and the one cut, secundem artem, was taken to supply the place of the last failure, and the green post thought no. more of until at the end of 7 or 8 years, when the post last put in was found to fail, while the summer cut post was in a per- L of | fect state of preservation* 'These hints are not prepared with sufficient care for publication, but are only intended as hints for you to reflect upon, &c. With great respect, yours, Josuua Howarp. Dearbonville, Sept. 3, 1895. All in the way of trade.-Since the mag- nificent granite hotel has been erecting near the Park, New York, many anecdotes in the history of the private life of its prodigiously wealthy proprictor have been called into cir- culation. Among these isthe following, which we heard related a short time since by a re- spectable member of the society of Friends. It is scarcoly necessary to premise that John Jacob Astor has realized his princely fortune chiefly by the fur trade. _ Well, some time u he was taken sick, and considered likely to dio, for howaver wealthy persons may bo, they are apt to got sick and dic as well, at least as certainly, as other people. Some pi- ous friend by his bedside asked him if he would not like to be visited by a minister.- «Why, no,\ said he, \I don't see much use in that at present.\ - But would he not like to have the Bible read to him? \Oh no, not all of it; there are some parts I like very well.\ The sacred volume being brought and open- ed, his anxious attendant asked him to name some passage which he considered the most suitable to his condition. - \Why I hardly know,\ said the sick fur merchant, \ there are some passages that I have considered cu- rious and interesting-youmay, if you please read to me about Sampson and the Foxes.\ Anecdoteof Weir, the painter.-Mr. Weir -now teacher of drawing in the Military Academy at West Point, and one of the first painters of our country-relates the following anecdote of his carlier days, which shows how easily the public and even those who profess to be connoisseurs may be humbugged in the article of a picture. It had been an amusement for me, (says Weir) occasionally to paint a picture, and nearly obliterating it with dirt, to put it in the way of some would be connoisseur, who, af- ter examining it attentively, would pronounce it an undoubted work of some one of the old masters. - I have several libels upon antiqui- ty of this kind to answer for, and one in par- ticular, which had nearly lost me the friend- ship of a brother artist. _I had called one morning and found him delightfully employ- ed in copying one of my antiques. «\W hat are you about, Tom*\ I exclaim- ed. \Ah!\ was his reply, \there's a jewel for you! that's an undoubted original of Annibal Carracet.\ \An undoubted humbug,\ was my rejoin- der. 'Tom turned his dark eyes fiercely on mg, repeating, 'Do you doubt it? do you doubtit? Why Mr. P. lent it to me yesterday, and at the same time told me it cost $300.\ 'Well Tom, I can only say, if you take that piciuze out of the frame, you will find on the lower edge or panncl the initials of my name.\ To satisfy himself he took it out, and there the little tell-tales were. The next day Tom sent the picture home, with many thanks to the owner, and at the same time threw his copy into the fire.-N. Y. Transcipt tiie Lucifer Matches. -A friend of ours who was bound up the North River a few days ago, happened to be carly on board the Ohio, and sat himself down in the back part of the boat to read a book. As the bustle increased, and just as the boat was starting, a porter threw down a trunk at his feet, took two shil- lings of a countryman for his trouble, and hurried off. Directly, our friend discovered an impression of fire on his olfactory nerve, and looking about, beheld the countryman's trunk smoking like a coal pit. On being open- ed it exhibited a doleful mass. In addition to a quantity of Lucifer matches, the country- man had furnished himself with a quantity of small torpedos, which had also- exploded, so that the silks and calicoes for the ladies, and the sugar-plums for the children, were all in ruins. The affair was hardly over, when our friend walked to another part of the boat, where several gentlemen of his acquaint- ance were regaling themselves with segars, and behold the pocket of one of them was smoking almost as much as the countryman's trunk! \Mr. ,\ said he, \your pock- et is on fire,\-and the gentleman pulled out his linen cambric handkerchief, which on coming to the air, blazed up beautifully.- The friction of throwing a bunch of matches back into his packet after taking one to light a segar, had been sufficient to produce an ex- plosion. The countryman's matches were exploded by the concussion of throwing down the trunk. In Germany, severe laws have been passed against the having, making, or using -N. Y. Jour. of Com. Inequality of the Earths surface.-M. Ar- ago, the celebrated French astronomer, states the following remarkable facts: Russia and Prussia exhibit truly extraordinary geogra- phical phenomenon. In these two countries is a vast region, where may be found popu- lous towns, immense commercial establish- ments and fertile tracts, all of which are situ- ated much below the level of the ocean. M. de Humboldt estimates this low country to contain eighteen thousand square leagues of land. If no error has been made in taking the level, the Caspian Sea, and consequently the city of Astracan, are one hundred metres (more than three hundred feet) below the le- .vel of the Black Sea or the ocean. We may add, that even in the heart of Russia, the course of the Wolga, and the countries which this river traverses, have a depression of fif- ty metres or more than one hundred and six- ty feet.--Nantucket Enquirer. New mode of Paving.-Several loads of very neatly shaped and substantial wood piles were placed in the Park yesterday, and exci- ted much curiosity among passers by to know what they were intended for. On making inquiry, we learnt they were to be substituted for the ordinary material in street paving, and that an experiment of their efficacy for such a purpose is about to be made in Broad- way, between Murray and Cambers streets. Each pile is about eight inches in length, and of octagon form. When fixed together, which can be done without difficulty by an or- dinary workman, they will form a beautifully tessclated road, and carriages and other ve- hicles will pass over it without even so much noise as is made on the best macadamised thoroughfares.-IN. Y. Transcript. 22 5 , Over Work.-A gentleman who employs a great number of hands in a manufactory in the west of England, in order to encoura his work people in a due attendance atchurch, on a fast day, told them that if they went to church, they should receive their wages on that day in the same manner as if they had beenptwork. Upon which, a deputation was appointed to tell their employer that 'if he would_ pay them for over hours, they would at- tend likewise at the Methodist chapel in the evening.\ Innatical.-The new discoveries in the moon, like all other popular works, have been dramatised, and are announced in the bills of the Bowery Theatre. The New-York Sun styles this \shameful levity.\ _ So it is, and so will every writer of a fiction say, when his works are dramatized before the sale of the prose original has become dull-Buf.

THE NEW-YORK MIRROR, A popular weekly Journal devoted to Literature and the fine arts, embellished with costly engravings on steel, copper and wood, and rare, beautiful, and popular music, arranged for the piano-forte, harp, guitar. Gro P. Morais, Taronons S. Fay, N. P. Wircs, Editors. HIS work is devoted to articles from the pens of well-known and distinguished writers, up- on every subject that can prove interesting to the general reader, including Original Poetry-Tales and Essays, humorous and pathetic-Critical noti- ees-early and choice selections from the best new publications, both American and English-Scien- tific and Literary intelligence-copious notices of Foreign Countries, by correspondents engaged <e- pressly and exclusively for this journal-Strictures upon the various productions in the fine arts that are presented for the notice and approbation of the public-Elaborate and beautiful specimens of Art, Engravings, Music, ete.-Notices of the acted dra- ma and other amusements-Translations from the best new works in other languages, French, Ger- man, Italian, Spanish, etc.-and an infinite variety of miscellaneous reading relating to passing events, remarkable individuals, discoveries and improve- ments in Science, Mechanics, Arts, etc. etc. In announcing the appearance of the Thirteenth Volume of the NEW-YORK MIRROR, almost the only duty which devolves upon its editors, is to tender their most cordial acknowledgments to their old friends for the continuance of their support., and to proffer to the numerous subscribers, whose names have been added to their list during the past year, their thanks for this mark of their confidence and approbation. To the former they can only re- iterate the assurance so often conveyed, that as the Minnon has now succeeded in preserving their good will through the arduous period of its infancy and its youth, so in maturity it will endeavor still to de- serve the applause which its earliest efforts receiv- ed. , Tojthe latter they would observe that no ex- pense will be spared and no exertions relaxed to render it at least as attractive and popular as any of its contemporaries. 'The experience of past years will give confidence to those who have watched our career; while the volume that will soon close will be an earnest of that which is to come, to our more recent friends, so that the reputation already secured to our publication may be maintained and enhanced. To both we beg leave to declare, that in the OR- NAMENTAL EMBELLISEMENTS of the Mir- ror, the best native talent has been engaged; and many painters have received commissions from us for the execution of national subjects and national scenery; and that engravers of the first merit have been secured to render These works fitting illustra- tions of our numbers. However beautiful may have been the preceding works of art which have omna- mented our pages, and however loud and frequent has been the applause which has greeted their pub- lication, we have no slight satisfaction in being en- abled to state, that those in preparation surpass any thing of the kind sver known in the United States. In the course of the volume FOUR QUARTO STEEL EMBELLISHNENTS, designed, painted and engraved by the most eminent artists in the country, will be published, together with numer- ous wood engravings, illustrative of curious and interesting scenes, incidents and antiquities, with about fifty pieces of French, Spanish, German- Italian and British MUSIC, arranged for the piano, forte, Harp, Guitar, &e. The same taste which has presided over our MU- SICAL SELECTIONS, will superintend those hereafter to appear, and the principles which guide us in the department will be as they have hitherto been, novelty and excellence, the beauty of the po- etry, and the melody of the accompaniment. On these grounds we commend our forth coming volume to the notice and approbation of our coun trymen, CONDITIONS. The Mirror is published every Saturday at the corner of Nassau and Ann streets.

Devoted to News, Politices, Literature, Agriculture, Manufactures, Mechanics, and Miscéllanceus sub- jects. 13 In assuming the responsibility of the propesed. publication, ahd respectfully soliciting for it pub~ lic patronage, the publishers deem a distinct a~ vowal of the principles upon which it will be con- ducted, as proper, and pledge an adberence to them, as the tenure upon which they will look for a continuance of publicsupport. Impressed with a confidence in the entire soundness of the princi- ples upon which our present National and State Governments are administered; that in theory and practice, their respective executive branches are: going on in the fulfilment of the primitive designe: of their founders-accomplishing and securing alk the blessings we may be allowed to anticipate from the best and ablest administrations of our public affairs-the DEMOCRAT will be found zealously co-operating with them. Deeming the leading measures that have continued to chatac- terise the administration of our venerable Chief Magistrate, as tending to public good-looking: back upon the benefits that have flowed from them: and forward to the results that may reasonably be anticipated; in view of the whole manner in which. the high trust reposed in him has Been discharg- ed-there is no sufficient reason to hesitate, ix yielding to ANDREW JACKSON, during his continuance in office; our unqualified support.- The Republican party of the Union, in anticipa= tion, that age, and a constitution impaired by s long life of arduous public service, will forbid his consenting to become a candidate for a third term, have, through a legitimately constituted organ- the Baltimore Convention-with a unanimity and singleness of purpose almost unparalleled-nam- ed as his successor,the Hon. MARTIN VAN BU- REN, of this state. Approving of this selection, we shall cheerfully endeavor to contribute to his election. The character, public services, and po- litical history of the man, aside from thesource from which he derives his nomination, furnish an ample guarantee, that in his administration we may anticipate a steady and firm adherence to the principles, and a consummation of the leading measures of his immediate predecessor. In a country like ours, blessed with a fertility of soil almost unparalleled, where Agriculture must form the basis of human industry and enter- prise-all that will contribute to the develope~ ment of its varied resources-the combined re- sults of wise and practical experiment-new me- thods and inventions-all that will lighten the toil or add to the profits of the husbandman, are strictly within the province of a public journal- -a -portion-of 'the public benefit of which it may, and should be productive. Mechanics and Man- factires, next in importance, and blended as they are, with prosperous Agriculture, have a just claim upon the labors of the conductors of a public jour~ nal-a claim, which in this instance, will not be disregarded. At a period when Education, Sci- ence, and Literature are commanding increased attention, in which they form so large a portion of the spirit of the times, duty and inclination: will concur in prompting a ready and willing ac- quiescence; in whatever will contribute to their advancement and usefulness. In short, it will be the steady aim of the conductors of the Demo- crat, to adapt it to the varied tastes and intereits of its patrons-to make it the: early medium of\ current news-to the reading and business public, an requisition which will merit a liberal and por- manent patronage.
