Constitutional Whig

Thorn hedges—A letter from a gentleman who had made a tour through a part of the states of Pennsylvania and Delaware, speaks in the most flattering terms of the thorn hedges, for their great utility, safety and durability, as a cheap and permanent fence, forming a strong and sufficient barrier against all kind of stock commonly raised on American farms. The writer mentions that fences of the above character which most pleased him, were on the farms of Messrs. John Simmons, Caleb Kirk, and others in the neighborhood of Dupont's mills, on the Brandywine, a short distance from Wilmington.
