JOSIAH QUINCY ’S FARM
.Tosiali Quincy, President of Harvard
College lias one of the finest farms in the
vicinity of Boston. It is enclosed by an
extensive and flourishing hawthorn hedge,
hut there is not an interior fence on the
promises : the whole presents a single field
devoted to the various purposes of agricul
ture. No part of it is allotted to pasture,
properly speaking, as his cattle are fed in
their stalls and never suffered to roam over
the fields, and the advantages of his system
are thus given ; Formerly, there were se
ven miles of interior fences to be kept in
repair, but by keeping the cattle up the
whole of this expense is saved. Formerly
sixty acres of this farm were devoted to
pasturage ; hut now a great number of cat
tle by one third are kept by the products
of twenty acres, and the cattle are in the
best condition.
The saving by these means is enormous
and the immense advantage arising from it
is too apparent to be dwelt upon. During
the summer the cattle are fed upon grass,
green oats, or barley, cut the day before,
and suffered to wilt in the sun, hut the ma
nure which is thus saved will more than
pay the extra expense and trouble. The
farm is most highly cultivated, and every
kind of grain and vegetable has a place.

PRINTER’S RECEIPT.
An aged gentleman entered our office a
few clays since, and saluted our ears in the
following manner :
‘•Well Mr. Printer, my subscription to
your paper expired yesterday, and [ wish
to renew it for another year. I always pay
in advance.”
We hastened, with a cheerful mind, of
course to fill a receipt, which we presented
with our best thanks, expressing a wish
that we had more such names on our list.
“I know something about that matter,
continued our friend. “This is thetwenli
cth time I have taken the Prs. receipt—a!
ways in advance; and if I live twenty years
longer I will repeat it annually. 1 ha'’
various reasons for it, one of them is I mak<
it a test with others, and [ always try ’
practice with my own precepts. 1 neve,
knew a man that paid punctually for lie
paper who did not prosper in the world
and l have always found such to bestrictlv
honest in their dealings. If I want to fit:
out whether or not an individual is worthy
of being trusted, I enquire it lie has the
Printer’s receipt for his last year’s paper
It's infa.l liable.
As our aged friend took leave we prayed
in our heart that his days might be many
and happy. May heat last live to fufP
his promise ; and as he gladdens the heai
of the printers, may he receive constani
accession to the sources of his enjoyments

.REMARKABLE FACT IN MECHAN
ICAL SCIENCE.
Absorption of Gold by copper ia a Solid
State ! —Tit following curious facts in Me
chanical Science, were recently’ discovered
at the Armory in Springfield, under the di
rection of Mr Ames. We have, says the
Boston !>ai 1 y Mail, the story from a mathe
matical student at Combridge :
The facts, as I stated to you, were very
curious. A workman was employed in gil
ding a copper sword scabbard, and had
pladed ten dollars worth of gold upon it,
and was heating it. Suddenly, long before
the copper had arrived at melting point,
the gold disappeared. —Probably the gold
was mixed with quicksilver as is usual in
such processes. At any rate the gold was
gone, and the man thought it bad evapora
ted with the quicksilver.
lie went at once and told Mr. Ames the
circumstance, but he thought it impossible
that it could be so, Mr. Ames then took the
copper and digested it, (a process employed
to seperate mixed metals,) and sure enough
he obtained the full value of the gold from
it. Ilis curfosity being awakened, he then
look a piece of copper, and put some gold
upon it, heated it to a certain point and
presto, the gold was gone! He put some
more on, raised the temperature a little,
and that went too.
He then sawed the copper in two, bur
nislied the edges, examined it with a micro
scope, arid found the gold lying in a body,
just beneath the surface of the copper.—
The absorption of the gold is supposed to
have taken place, owing to some change a
mong the particles of the copper, which
drew the gold in. This opinion is strength
ened by other facts, which seem to show
that such a change may take place in the
particles of a metal not in a state of fusion.
For instance in the process of tempering,
swords often get bent. Now’ if they are
straightened while cold, they, are found to
lose their temper somewhat in the spot
where they were bent; but if heated mode
rately, to a degree, far below redness, —and
then straightened, while at that tempera
ture, they retain their full temper. Be
sides, if the bent spot is gilded before heat
ing, on heating and straightening it, the gil
ding disappears.

Wilkes county, deceased, are requested to pre

PROPOSALS
i'Oli PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION
A FULL REPORT OF THE
Geological and Agricultural
SURVEY OF TIIF
©IF
fSN HE Legislature, aitheir iast session, deem-
A ed it expedient to discontinue tlie salary of
■ue Slate Geoiogist, m consequence ot the em- _
barrassed finances of the State. By this unex
pecled movement, the subscriber is depriied of
ihe means of completing the survey oi the State,
on tlie original plan : ii done at all, il must be
at individual risk and expense.
It is needless, perhaps, to represent to tlie en
lightened citizens ol Georgia, that by following
ou. iie plan so happily commenced m 1837, and
pursued with unremitting energy to the present,
me State has been contributing tier nnte, hum
me as it may be on tiie part ot iier agent, to the
cause oi general science in our country, and the
advancement of intellectual improvement among
her citizens, in accordance with oilier States of
the Union. There is but one alternative. In the
present situation oi tlie survey, the work must
either be abandoned and the important informa
tion obtained by lour years investigation of tlie
Geology of tlie State, lost to her citizens, or the
subscriber must depend tor support, on individ
ual patronage, lie is determined to make an ef
mrt for the benefit and honor of his adopted State,
io proceed with the survey. From former ex
perience oi the unbounded liberality and gene
rous hospitality ot his ieiiow citizens, ill differ
ent parts ol ihe Siale, he is confident that, in
making ail appeal to iheir sympathy and patron
age, it will not be made in vain.
That a complete survey may be made of the re
maining counties of the State, and tlie whole
consolidated and published for the information
and benefit of the’ citizens, public patronage is
most respectiully solicited. A work oi this kind,
is much needed m Georgia, a State comprising _
an area of sixty thousand, square miles, being
destitute of a single correct May, Geography, or
history oi the same. A majority of the citizens
must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the
rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci
ties of the different sections. Favored as the
subscriber lias been, by four years labor, as
State Geoiogist, in different parts of tlie State,
in coiiec iing materials for a complete report of
an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na
tural History, he trusts that lie shall be able to
meet the approbation of his fellow citizens.
The subscriber pledges his honor, that tlie
proceeds arising from subscription for tlie work
snail be appropriated to the completion or the
survey oi the remamiug counties of the State,
and that they shall be finished as they will be
needed for publication.
