The proeessof stuffing the skin, now going on at the museum, is curious and interesting.

At the time of the Louisiana pur chase, it was claimed as a part of that ter;ritory; and a great number of emigrants ! C, I, 1 T ; I . 1 fi.,. .1 its limits. It has been suggested in a Western paper, that an advantageous exchange might be made with the Mexican Government, for all the territory belonging to the United States, lying between the Hocky Mountains and th. Pacific Shore of the Continent, for thai part of the Mexican possessions reaching North of the river del Norte to our Southwestern boundary. The quantity of surface is said to be about equal; while the advantage of the bargain to this Republic would lie vastly greater by the exchange. It w Ouhl put us in possession of a iargc portion of seacoart cn the Gulf of Mexico, atTording numerous bays and harbors, and furnishing outlets to many nob'cs rivers; it would give us a most fertile soil, and a salubrious climate. and it would give a much better geographical shape to the regions belonging to the North American Republic. On the other hand, it is not at all probable that Mexico would consent to this arrangement, unles a large f t:m to loot should be tendered say from one to five millions. For the Oregon country would

location, to the Mexicans, than that to us; and the intrinsic worth of the territory is bar less than that of the Provinces of Texas and Santa Fe. Vet, it h imagined by some that a million or two, thrown as a makeweight into such a bargain, would bear no kmd cf comparison, on the scoie ol value, to the fifteen millions paid for Louisiana, or the six million for Florida. It is suggested, that the remote situation of the regions west of tl e Rocky Mountains will forever disqualify them from becoming a profitable or efficient integral portion of this Republic. With how much plausibility this consideratirn h ur?ed, wc leave for those oetter acquainted withthe subject to determine. It appears to u a a speculation involving indeiinitely the futureand as altogether prospective Fifty cars ago w e did not dream that euf territory or our population would at this period have amounted to their present extent; and fifty years hence may produceresults equally surprising and triumphant. Still, the attempt to effect this changewould by no means be impolitic; sinceit would render the Union more compact, and continue by a more direct line the 'chain of communication between the several, parts. With the arguments against taking formal possession of the Orregon territory. ve shall not at prefect merioie. There isT much to be said, as on al! other question-,

USC OF TITE ROLLER ON' GRASS CROC In no branch of husbandry is the roller more nn implement of utility than in the cultivation of gniss. It renders the soil compact and s. lid; it encourages the growth of the plants, by bring', g the earth close to every part cf th? n ot ; it asaista in filling up and leveling any inequalities iu Ihe surface of the" field, thereby preventing surface water from remaining stagnant, raid eradicating the grass from particular spots; aid it tends to hinder the drought from penetrating, which is an effect of the greatest inipc.taece. In fact, a giass field cannot Lc too often rolled ; and it is not going too far to assert, that the application of tho roller in Autumn, to prepare the roota for resisting tho winter frosts, r.rd in Spring to firm them after these frc.t every year while the field remains in gra:s will amply repay theexper.se?. Trans, of Highland Sock' :. A writer in the Long Island Star, speaking of the disease arr.oi g Peach trees, commonly called the Yellu?rs says that it was unknown forty Tears ago, and that he first discovered it on his farm in Kings county, Long Island, in the year 1797, a year after two hundred Lombardy poplars, the first that were introduced into the country, had been pteuted oa an adjoining farm.
