THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGEICULTUHAL GAZETTE; A WEEKLY RECORD OF RURAL ECONOMY AND GENERAL NEWS. AS REGARDS THE GARDENING PART, the principle is to make ifc a weekly record of everything that bears upon HORTICULTURE, FLORICULTURE, ARBORICULTURE, or GARDEN BOTANY, and such NATURAL HISTORY as has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all Works on such subjects. Connected with tiiis pn't aro WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GARDENING OPERATIONS, Given in detail, and adapted to the ol jects of persons in every stntion of Hfe so that tho Cottager, with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a Gre ;so, and the Manager of Extensive Gardens, are alike informed of the routine of Operations which the varying soasons render necessary. It moreover contains Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings—Notices of Novelties and Improvements—in fact, everything that can tend to advance the Profession, beuefit the condition of the Workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his Employer. Woodcuts are given whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illustration. The FARMING PART (under the Editorship of a Practical Farmer) treats of- The Practice of Agriculture Results of Experimental Farming Foresting Agricultural Science Growth and Rotation of Crops Road-making Animal and Vegetable Physiology Management of Stock Farm-Buildings Improvements in Implements, described Veterinary Science Labourers by Woodcuts whenever requisite Drainage Treatment of Poultry Improved Modes of Husbandry Irrigation Agricultural Publications, In short, whatever affects the beneficial employment of capital in hand.

Articles on Poultry and Bee-keeping are constantly given. Replies to Questions connscted with the object of the Paper are also furnished weekly. Lastly, that description of Domestic and Political News is introduced which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further than to say, that the Proprietors do not range them- selves under the banners of any Party; their earnest endeavours arc to make THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE a full and comprehensive Record of Facts only—a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own opinious their object being the elucidation of the laws of Nature, not of Man. The Reader is thus furnished, in addition to the peculiar features of the Journal, with such information concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the necessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly Paper.

JACOB TOWN- \J SEND'S SARSAPARILLA It removes all blotches and pimples from the face and body, leaving the complexion with that lustrous clearness belonging to a perfect state of health. It purges from the system the poisonous taint of mercury, stops the wasting of the msh (so significant of consumption), builds up the broken constitution, and, by giving new blood, gives to the emaciated invalid new hope and new life. The habitual dyspeptic, suffering in mind and body, will find invaluable relief from a course of this blood- purifying medicine. It will give tone to the stomach, will arouse the liver from its torpidity, and regulate its action. The food will then properly digest and assimilate, the diseased blood will become pure blood, and again the features, so long wan and suffering, with glow with the rich hue of health. This blood-purifying medicine is invaluable to mothers nursing. If the mother's blood be impure, the infant must be diseased and suffer. Feeding infants on druus is unnatural. Let a mother give to her young child the food (her milk) which nature has designed for it, and keep her blood pure by using the blood purifier"-old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla. Its use corrects the bad effects of living on salt pro. visions, and so invigorates the system that the change to new climates does not effect it. Hence Sea Captains, Sailors, Emigrants, and Voyagers always take with them this Blood-Purifying Medicine IMPORTANT CAUTION.—The market is flooded with worthless preparations of Sarsaparilla.
