HEREFORDSHIRE

HEREFORDSHIRE.

Four fine children, belonging to Richard Builth, a day labourer, of Abbeydore, were lately consumed by fire in their father's cottage, during the absence of the mother.

A prospect appears of the whole country being delivered from that destructive vermin the rat, through the laudable exertions of the Herefordshire Agricultural Society. Repeated experiments have proved that a Mr. Broad has the certain means of enticing rats into a wooden trap, by a bait which appears to have an irresistible influence over those sagacious animals; sixty or seventy having been caught in one building, within a few hours after their destruction had been previously attempted by ferrets and other means. The premium required by Mr. B. for giving publicity to his valuable discovery, is 1000 guineas; one half of which has been already subscribed by the members of the above society.

Environed as Monmouth is, with the most beautiful walks, this branch of the rail-road may be classed among the most interesting. It commences at the foot of May-Hill, near Wye-bridge, and is carried, by the most gra dual and easy ascent, along the side of an extensive (in part woody) hill, parallel with the course of the Wye, a perfect terrace for three miles. Coal is now brought to Monmouth, and offered to the public at several shillings per ton below the price it has been sold at for many preceding years. To the agricultural interest its advantages promise to be incalculable; for, instead of sending their teams to the forest through the night, in the article of provision alone (called usage,) given to the colliers for loading the waggons, they will now be enabled to return with fuel or le, after bringing their grain or other pro

A piece of wheat, belonging to a labouring man of the name of Lewis, at Purton, has claimed the admiration of the surrounding country. Having an acre of land in thag parish, the man, in May, 1811, sowed three parts of it with spring wheat, and in the autumn reaped from it a fair average crop, cutting it close to the ground, in order to gain more straw. A few weeks afterwards, when he was about to get the land ploughed up, he observed it covered with young wheat, grow ing from the old roots, which he suffered to remain till the spring, when the grain more than answered his expectation. It is now matured to a most excellent crop of wheat, perfectly ripe, and evidently comes from the old roots, from bunches of thirty to one hundred fine stalks, springing from each; and new stalk is growing from the first joint. But the most important circumstance is, that the nature of the grain is completely changed, from small bearded cars to as fine lammas wheat as ever was seen, the generality of the heads being from four to five inches in length, and full of very fine cerns.
