As among other things it is propond to atGENTS to the NEW YORK BOARD ratha which will give the public serral nay. mirant of nosess to our picturesque Falls, at pro- Rent-onlycaccgible by a pathway on a perpen- Cicular gidiont; the loom conferred will be one which wil be greatly appreciated, and the,ob.. jeet aimed att in starting such a thing as a pro- per agri.hortnqultural garden in Penang ought to justify a reasonable outlay. When we: say "reasonable outlay," we mean in an oral, not in comparativa proportion to that of Singapore, for the solid mason that this is au agriculturafcountry assaafially, while Sings Hora in little else thao an Expert and Export Repôt. To encourage and foster agriculture beto saght at all costs to be the great aim of our Government, and this man best be done by poloting out the tillers of the soil what plantspared are must suited to the climate. In the matter of vegetables alone, au immease smount of goed might be done by showing the Chinese ga loners what they bad boat cultivate. Cabbages, Tomatoes. Kholkhols and Badishes have been grown va the plains an adocessfully as well as on the bills and the writer has coutlocally been applied to for seeds by Chinese squatters over in the Province and in Bali Pale on the Inland owing to the samestat revolts produced by a few paakte of ssads obtained from India and supplied to them some time ago, and had the bequests equalled the demand, doubtless Ponang would have reaped some berods in the shape of a supply, to a limited extent, of the vegetables re ferred to. The spplinanta for the soda, however, confessed they lost much of what they nowod owing to the fact that they were unacquainted with ho treat coat the seedlings required. Wo look forward to the day when they will be en- lightened in this respook, and also be encouraged by tires to vio with one another in exhibiting the produce of their labour.-Penang Gassits,
A correspondent writing to the Telegraph anysAn important change in the nature of the stratification in the Channel Tansel bonding Las just occurred.. It will be remembered that -the ground-hitherto encountered by the boring machine has been hart grey chalk, bat the stratum which is now being placed by the boring machhery is of a mnoh softer nature, and not Dearly so favourable to tunneling operations.
