^ Bunker Hill Monumenl.—Tht Directors have apolo- 

 g-ised for the dLlay of this work, by statin^ the difficul- 

 ty altendinjf llie procurement of workmen and inaltii- 

 a!s. 'these dhlic.ultiej have resulted from the unusual 

 demand lor labor and materia's the present season. — 

 The magnitude of the work, and the necessity of con- 

 sulting economy in the expenditure, have prompted 

 them to delay, rather than press forward under the 

 greatest disadvantages. The money is' profitably in- 

 vested, and mucli progress may be e.-spected durin 'an- 

 other season. — Jutnt- Sent. 



Wiihin the celebrated Taris cemetery of Pere La 

 Chaise, upwards of 100.000 persons had been interred 

 up to the year Mi-i2 ; for 15,000 of whom monuments 

 had been erected, and 15,000 of them are remakaole 

 tor the beauty, magnificence, neatness, or peculiarity 

 of their structure, or for the names of the persons whose 

 memories they are intended to perpetuate.

Ear!;/ JVmler.—ln some parts of Maine they have 

 already had a six-inch mow. A snow storm has been 

 experienced in Baltimore ; and in Philadelphia they 

 have lie of the thickness of a dollar. We have had ice 

 here, but no snov*^. 



A bit-od I5et.t has been raised this season, on the 

 ^ aleni Alms House farm, weighing 35 lbs. -and measur- 

 ing 30 inches m length, and thirty-two and a half inch- 

 es in circumference. 



«4 Lileriny Inslitufion of a character somewhat nov- 

 -l has recently been eslablish.-d at Readfield, in the 

 L-oi^nty of Kennebec, Maine, where the sciences are to 

 3e extensively and acciiralcly tausht. To render Ihe 

 advant.ajfts ot it more easily accessible to the poor, a 

 larm, belonging to the institution, is cullivaled by the 

 students, under the direction of an overseer ; so Ihat 

 =lude.nts-niay support themselves whcdiy by laboun'n»- 

 a part of each day. The arangement is, for those w!.o 

 ;hus labour, lo pass Ihe first half of the day together hi 

 tnc same ro.>in with the instructor, and at oin- o'clock i 

 to repair to the field to labour until the hour of praye 

 — We wish such institutions might he mullipliad.

 mechanics, and fewer feeble and

^in Instance of suspended Animal ion. — .4. Laborer who 

 liad fallen from a seaflolding in England was carried, 

 apparently dead, lo medical aid, and after means had 

 been applied without success for his recovery, his 

 (rienils carried his body home, with advice from the 

 surgeon to procure a coffin. A more skillful surgeon 

 however he:iring the circumstances, examined the body 

 and found heat enough to convince him that the vital 

 spark had not Hed. He at first opened a vein in the 

 arm, but no blood of consequence came; on drawing 

 the scalpel over two branches of the temporal artery, 

 he bled profusely. Before a pound had flowed lie 

 breathed, and when two pounds were drawn, he respir- 

 ed almost naturally. Several hours passed between 

 the time of his fall and that of the oper dion which re- 

 stored a fellow being to life. It occurred to the sur- 

 geon at the time, (and which he found in another simi- 

 lar case,) that the blood remains in the arterial system, 

 in a warm fluid state, after tlie superveius become near- 

 ly empty ; and what remains in them is partiv congeal- 

 ed from losing its free caloric ; also that the arteries re- 

 j tained the elasticity and vital properties a considerable 

 time after the veins had lost their little contractile 

 power necessary to carry on the circulation. — Med. Int.

Improved Breed of Swine. 



FOR SALE at the farm of S.W.Pomeroy in Brighton 

 several young ftoarjand sous of a.n age suitable to 

 produce pigs in the spring. This breed is the result of 

 careful crossing for a course of years, with the improv- 

 fi\ Lancashire (by some called the Wellington) on the 

 Bakewell. Byfield, and Bedford breeds — by whom are 

 united great length of body, small bone, easy keeping 

 and a disposition to fatten at an early age. Specimens 

 of the breed can be shown that when 18 months old, 

 were estimated to weigh 600 lbs. dressed.
