How to Enlarge ycgelafoletf.
A vau increase food may be obtained by
-managing ju'djcioflry, systematically carrying

for instance, a pea. Plant it in very rich ground,
allow it io bear the frret year, say half a dozen
bods only, remove, all others save the larei
mgie pea of ihee. Sow it the next year, and
tain of the produce three pds only ; the

again select the largest, and iu- pext year the

Growth, of Pfcw; York Cily--Bitild-
From the New York Tribune. : ,
If we look back to the year 1813, ve find the
site of New-York Cito a thick forest bordered by
a sandy beach, or.a shore broken by marshy inlets.
Wp look upqn it now, an area of not less than
fiye square miles, compactly occupied by not less
tban 50,000 houses, .inhabited by not less than
400.000 persons. N,o parallel to tins' of the rapid
growth of a city is believed to be recorded. .Jn
our retrospective view, we find that, in the year
1614 there were contained in New-York (then
Niew Amsterdam) four Jioliscs ; that, in 1G56, the
number had, grown to 120t (with a population of
1,000) ; lf77, 368 ; in 17U, 1,14.1 ; and at the la
ter period of 1825, by estimale, about 25,000 (pop.
166,000). The population of New-York Gity at
different, certain periods which we give rather to
supply the want of more frequent building rec
ords, we find to have been as lollows :

The Census of.i845 showed the population to
be 371;000. By these statistics, one may calcu
late from the previous data .the number of build
ings in a given year,. and follow up wuh some de
gree of uniformity the progress of building. The
growth of New-York is .seen to have beep very ir
regular in its progression, the two principal im
pulses it has received were, undqubtedly, the Peace
after the Revolution and the opening of the Erie,
Canal. As its progress has, been vp in respect to
numbers or figures, so has it been .up necessarily
in respect to the direction of its buildings.. Wall-

IGrand-st. was completed to the East River about
this time the countrv north from it being mostly
bare. In 1821, the canal in Carial st. was built, j
whence that street began to be' built on. This"'
canal was a subterranean duct for conveying a
way the water from the Collect and other low pla
ces. Bleecker-st. on the west, and Bbnd-st. on
the east, began to be built on about the year 1825. t lars and blinds is a wrinkle in building growing

We have met with no records giving infoima-'
tion of the number of buildings elected in given
years, respectively, in time previous to 1825
In
i that year there were 2,500 houses built, which is
the largest number so far as we can learn, that
has ever been built in New-York in any given
year. This was following the opening of the E
rie Canal. The impetus-to building by the opening
of this Canal continued to tie great lor several'
years.
Arriving more nearly down to' the present, we
find that the number of erections for the year 1847
was 1,840, a decline from the previous year of 64.
Of these erections, the proportion of 2 to I have'
been on the different avenues' and streets named
numerically. A sixth part of tho whole number
wre built befween Twentieth arid Thirtieth sts.
inclusive, exclusive of the intersecting avenues.
Among- the iriore prominent buildings being e
ricted, we mention the Free Aca'demy, comer of
Lexington-avenue and Twenty-third st. ; Rev. Dr.
Tyng's St. George's Episcopal Church, on the
Second-avenue, between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth sts.; a German Catholic Church, to be called
the St. Nicholas, oh Third-st. between First-avenue
and Avenue' A; a'n Irish" Catholic Church, cor
ne'r Avenue B and Eighth'-s"t. ; a large hotel in
Brodway corner of Chambers, by the Messrs. How
ard, former proprietors of Howard's Hotel ; and a
hctci corner of Ffank.fojt and, Chatham sts. by
Bichard French, proprietor of French's.. Hotel in
Cha.tham-st. and , proprietor formerly of the Ex
change Hotel in Fultbn-st.
The Free Academy will much ornament the
part of the town in, which it is built. Its chief
features are its numerous buttresses and, towers,
and its lofty height. ., The wall of the lower story,
in which is inclpsed, a play-ground, isi),uilt.of free
stone, and the. remainder of brick, to bs stuccoed.

Churches will all be. larger edifices. , ;Tbe .outside

stories high 12 .at, the gabl
brick) graduate from 3 feet in thickneso at the
basement to 16 inches at the eaves.
A much larger number of old buildings than u
sual are being pulled down to clear the ground for
respectable and substantial new ones. This ap
pears to be a fact reflecting much commendation
upon landlords. Though there are some qf.these
gentlemen who suffer their houses to rot down in
the most beautiful avenues of the City, for the. sake
of better rents than could be got, proportionably,
on better edifices. The evidences are before us
that the body of. them are not without an.ambition
to see their premises, and in consequence their
town, indicating a march of improvement.
Of die buildings awaiting their destruction or coin
version into something else, one quite prominent
appears to he the Reservoir in East Thirteenth-st.
which served so well the Fire Department prior
to the introduction of the Croton water. While
the,. ol4 Manhattan Reservoir in Chambers-st. is
suspended in, midway, operations of being conver

That a new era has da.wned.in respect to the matq

If we cannot ere many years boast an equality
with anv citv in the wor'.d for edificial elegance
and splendor, it will not be for want of munifi
cence and refinement of taste in our men who
build, from present appearances ; and our surety
in this is but little less in tlie enterprise, and ge-
nius of those who wield the trowel. The intro
duction of iron mite rial in building, as iron fronts
for the lower stories of stores consisting of pil-
ings, forming the corners of blocks, should be extra
solid The large building just erected on the cor-
ner of Maiden-lane and Little GreenS-st. extend
ing several stores, is an instance of much neglect
in these parlicu'ars, if what we have perceived of
essentials in such buildings has been perceived a
right. In the event of a fire eating out the inside
of this building we do not know what would se
cure the walls from tumbling. While stone is so
cheap, we feel a surprise at so often seeing the
door and window lintels of new-built houses bro
ken broken from every evidence of their too in
sufficient strength for sustaining the pressure im
posed upon them not previously cracked. Two,
if not more, fnight have been seen, before they
were covered over by cornices, in the walls" of
the new building corner of Grand and Ludlow sts.
A building (in part for stores, as was tho one just
named ) in Canal-st. south side, and a few steps
west from Brodway, exhibited lintels of this frail
order; being some four or five feet in length, not
exceeding, apparently, six inches in thickness,
through either two sides, resting on iron pillars,
by a short hold, and sustaining the weight of tho
wall, ot the building, they are now covered by a
massive cornice. The building is of comparitive
ly no cbnsequence,' but it illustrates the principle
or fact sought to be explained, to wit: the too,
much eotiomizing upon, door-lintels. The em
ployment of the flat arch' in,baildinr has, l?eett at-
tempted, but it depends, so much upojtt the abut
ment, that it cannot be introduced in New-York to
a great extent. Tlie large warehouse in Pearl-st.
near, State, is a' signal failure in building on this
principle. , k y. ;
Thus have we taken a general scarf over the ex
tension of New-York, from: its four units ot houses
to its-fifty thousands. Attire rate of increase it
has'gono on in for the last 40 years, namely : 100
percent, in 20 years, it must in the year 1900
count a population.of not short of 2,500,000. ; and
an aggregate number of buildings not short of
300,000.
A Thrilling Adventure.
We heard the oilier day a story telated by
an old sailor, Captain Jacob , which made
a great impression ,011 us, and which- we wish
we could repeat with the unction and nautical
phraseology of the worthy narrator.
It, occurred during the last war. The cap
tain, who was a native of Plymouth, was run
ning .on the coast in a schooner loaded with'
Uoiir. He had nearly reached his destination,
when he was overhauled by. an enemy's frig
ate, who ordered htm peremlorily to heave a line
aboard. . . ,
ThTe was no resisting the command, for the
schooner was without arms and the tender full
of marines and sailors armed to the teeth wuh
pistols, muskets and cutlassos. The captain
had a light hut fair bteeze aloft, his sails drew,
TO t - '
and, he was driving. tsoar a rtief, the entrance b
which he was perfectly familiar with, and onca
maide which, he was sure of making Jiort, un
disturbed by the tender. .;
In this, view he ordered one of his, men for
ward wtih a line, and in a aisntorial voice, per
fectly audible on board the tender, sang out.
'Heave, your line aboard I then he added, in
a whimper, so as to be heard only by his men.
'IJeave tt short.'. ,
The Yau.kee.sailof.iaught the hint, and hove'
according:totdireciioni8. The end of the line
fell splashing in the water. ,.
, High above the execrations of the Englislj
officer commanding the tender, rose the roar of
the indignant Yankee skipper. ,
'Is that the way tt) heave a. line, you lubber
ly, son of. a land-crab? Heave, the line ship7
shape you lubber, or I'll cut your liver out !
Heave it short" , , M ,
Ajjain the line fell short, and the English! of-
I licer and Yankee captairi vied with each oih,er
j j jjhovyerihg. imprecations and invectives on
theh'ead of the.blandering 'landlubber.' iVJeaji
while the breeze was freshening, and the
schooner drawing nearer to the reef.
. Again and again the order to heave was
given with the same undertone addition and
i tiailie ftSMli
t i .
The Englishman had began

threw himself flat on his deck, and made, his!

muskets was heard, and a shower of bullets
came whizzing through the rigging.
'Let them fire and be darned !' said the Yari
I I
kee, I'll show thorn a clean pair of heels.'
And taking his nller between his heels, as,
j he lay upon the deck, he ran the schobner!
cleverlv inside ihe reef.
They were soon out of gunshot from ihe baf
fled tender. Up we lit. the stars and stripes,
with a hearty cheer frbm the mariners, and an
bid one-eved sea dog pulled oilt a file, and gave
them Yankee Doodle in a strain as melodious
as the triumphant notes of a porker that has
escaped the butcher's knife. Captain Jacob
saved his bacon and flour too.

When a horse shies, or shears, at some un
accustomed object, and which all young horso
will do, never speak sharply or worse th'aii
hat, strike him, ll you would avoid nis sianiu
the next time he sees the same or any similar
object. Almost aiiy horse may be brought 10 a

What should be done, then ? Check huri to i

to strike him for tliat. This will not mend Ins

occurs, as he will expect the lash ti follow a.-i

called one, is to keep an eye npuii the in'aM;
and wliere, from stones or uneveiioss, the fail

accident. As you would save the wind and
strength of your horse, drive nun slow up Hill;
and as you would save his limbs ami your own'
drive slowly down hill. Never wash oil ynttr
