The mother rose firs and on stepping out, fell prostrate on ' th floor ; the futiier, on hastening to his \r fe' assistance, met with a similar fate. Tin children being awakened by the no se, nn< called upon for oid, sprang out of th* ic bed but, on reaching the floor, every one Oj them sink helplessly down. A fi: ofs ver* vomiting, ensued, accompanied w th violen pa n in the head, each one being alT cte* precisely alrke.

J. ~ PROSPECTUS 4 For publishing by subscription, in Augusta, Ga., an Agricultural Paper. to be styled GLEANINGS OF HUSBANDRY. 'Who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before, does more for his country, than an Alexander or a Bonaparte." At the solicitation of many friends, the sub. ? seriber has consented to be the editor and pub. i lisher of a periodical exclusively devoted to Agriculture, Gardening, and the oth r branches of I Husbandry tn general. Its object will be, in | plain stylo, to cornmnnicate useful information to the cultivator, whether of the vine or tho ? flower, of vegetables or plants, of fruits, grapes ; . or trees, as the mulberry and all kinds of orchard l trees, with the be6t mariner of planting them , furnishing suitable hints for the improvement of he various soils, breeds of cattle, and other \ stock, with tho treatment of tho diseas'^cs \ which they are liable, and the management of } bees and silk worms. The editor will endeavor to illustrate the | importuvt principles upon which the art and iO science of agriculture is founded, and to intro I duco an econimieal system of the labors, in the (? field, jncadow or cocoonery, that may be best adapted to the seasons, climate and latitude in which we reside, and which inmost respects, differ gyeatly from the Middle, Northern and Eastern Slates. \ Of more than one million of Planters and ? Horticulturists in the Southern States, scarcely two out of a thousand have an opportunity oi > consulting any agricultural works, and are > wholly guided by casual observations upon the ways of their neighbors and ancestors; lor they possess no means of learning the almost *e daily improvements that are making in their s- own particular branch of culture; neither can they brxorao acquainted with the improved D varieties in trees, frui:?, vines, flowers, grain ~ and plants, which are continually introduced 9" to our notice from every portion of the habi? V table globe, nor with the various improvements ^ and new inventions in the implements of tils lage. The publication shall contain a full account of all those that are likely to benefit gence, virtue, happiness and prosperity ai P every hearth in the Southern States. h It shall be free from all sectarian or political 1 ii*r the purpose. The first number will appear in March next, if possible. As by the rules of the General Post Office, Post in si era are allowed to frai k and forward the amount subscribed to any newspaper, they are respectfully desired to forward to the editor at Augusta, any amount offered them n bankable money, as early as ptssible. Newspapers are respectfully requested to pubpsa this Prospectus, and by sending the paper containing it, shall receive ours in return. Postmasters and Editor* of papios are kindly asked to act as our agents Should fhey not receive a copy of this Prospectus, they are re quested to cut one from the papers which niny be good enough to publish it and we. with respect, invite all the friends of the objects we have in view, to aid and assist in procuring subscribers to the "Gleanings of Husbandry." MOSES flOLBROOK, A. M. M D. Augusta, Ga., Jan. 1840. Southern Baptist Pulpit.
