k* The selection of sc ds (according to the

on a proper choice of grains and kernels, as
well as roots, from the mod vigorous vegeta

though it be conjectured, that the constant
cu'tivation of a particular phot from the

cause it to degenerde, yet numerous wed

the contrary effects have b -en evident. The

be selected for hearing seeds ; and such ns at

'Uov grow at a distance from weakly plant*

of the latter be blown upon the stigma'a of

be proluced.
I up proper time For gathering1 seed* is

may be ascertained bv the drvm ss of ilie

tin following particulars of a robbery which
took pj^.ce in Steplientown. a few day* since.
4%(>n the night of the‘26th August msf. one
of the «yo«.t infernal transactions look place in
Stephentown, ill this county, tliat has perhaps
been heard of within the in.on »ry of our old
est inhabitants in that quarter. The house
of Mr. Griswold Deniston a worthy inhabitant
in that town, wasenterodby three ruffians, who
ordered him to give them something to drink
and they then proceeded to demand his mon
ey : the sum of about eighty dollars w .s de
livered. the robbers not satisfied with that,
demanded more struck him u;>on the breast
and acros* the face and injured him severely .
Previous to this Mrs. Deuisttm had 'succee
ded in waking the hired man, who ou enter
ing the room was fired at by one of the gang
and thrown mtottie bed where Mr. Deniston
was, but afterwards taken and kicked under
the bed. The robbers not getting as much
money as they expected, perhaps was the
reason of the last violence cotumited upon
Mr. Deniston. In the mean titae Mrs. Don
! iston had succeeded in rallying seme of the
neighbours Mr. Deniston, on :bc condition
his life was spared him. had be-m forced to
get «(>on his knees and kiss tee bible and
|swear not to m ike complaint in43 hours.
[ The greatest exertions tnve been made to
jarres; the offenders, which Ins finally proved
successful. One was soon taken, part of the
in mey obt one I, the other was taken, on Fri
day, and .mother piece of property found on
Inin; on Saturday list, in the Tternoon the
Hurd rubber was ascertained to he upon the
hill near Stephentown meeting house, and on
ibeing pursued turned aril fired at the prison
in pursuit, twice. The alarm was general, it
j-pread quick, tiie mountain which he was
jupon was immediately surrounded and watcb

Master Hubbard bas arrived at \ew York,
in the ship il mnibai from Liverpool. This is
a young genius who has attained astonishing
celebrity in all the pnneipai towns in Great
Britain and Ireland. In Liverpool he has
been their most attractive object for months
in succession. During their grand musical
festival last autumn, his rooms were constant
ly crowded with visiters of the fir rank and
fashion. And so lately as his concluding e
vening there, which was on the 3d ult. there
was so great a press of company that many
were obliged to return without being able to
gain admittance. The talent for which Mas
ter Hubbaid is so celebrated, is tlrt of being
I able to delineate at a glance, every object of
I n tture or art with the utmost accuracy, Uste,
and spirit, simply with a pair of common scis

the visiter is scarcely seated before the like

exhibition of bis cuttings; all of which have

flowers. Painters seldom rank high in raore
