The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by tho wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinßfm: All the fanners were of the "well to do” sort, and somo of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams sad occasional wet meadows, fn which deposits of peat or muok are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after It has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of tho Western prairies. We found some of tho oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country iB a marine deposit, and all through the Boil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of tho tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very eomminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer deeires to cultivate.
