The Working Farmer, edited by Prof. Mapes, one of our best monthly agricultural journals, gives our Cincinnati contemporary the following well merited notice:

This is one of the few Horticultural Reviews we can always refer to with pleasure. Its editor, although precise in all matters connected with his art, writes like a man in good spirits, who is not working his way up hill. His style is free from satire, nor is it annoyed by that kind of egotism which we are sorry to see effaces some of the horticultural journals of the present day.

Chemical Field lectures for Agriculturists.. By Dr. Julius Adolphus Stockhardt, Professor in the Royal Academy at Tharand. Translated from the German. Edited, with Notes, by James E. TssmsmoasaL Cam-fcridge: John Bartlett. 1858.

This hook has been laid on ourble. We had prepared a notioe of the work, which we can not find room for in this number. For sale by D. M. Dewey, of Rochester.

The Southern Agriculturist is the title of a new journal devoted to Agriculture, Hor-ticulture, Pomology, etc., published monthly at Laurensville, S. 0. Col. A. G. Summer, editor: Wm. Summer, Horticultural editor. The first number is well filled and well printed. The Horticultural department is particularly varied and interesting - displaying both good taste and sound judgment. We trust it will be well sustained, and we believe it will be, for we have abundant evidence of a very general and active spirit of inquiry on rural matters all over the South. The Southern States have a great duty to perform to American horticulture. Their semi-tropical climate admits of the culture in the open air of a vast number of useful fruits and vegetables, of beautiful trees and plants, that we in the North can only attempt under glass. If they will but turn themselves as energetically to the development of their climate resources as we are doing here, the United States may soon occupy a creditable position in the horticultural world.
