How to get a. tight Ring off a Finger. — Thread a nee- 

 dle flat in the eye with strong thread ; pass the needle 

 with care under the ring, and pull the thread through 

 a few inches towards the hand ; wrap the long end of 

 tiie thread tightly round the finger, regularly, all down 

 to the nails, to reduce its size. Then lay hold of the 

 short end of the thread, and unwind it. The thread, 

 pressing against the ring, will gradually remove it from 

 the finger. This never-failing method will remove tin- 

 tightest ring without difficulty, however swollen the 

 finger may be. — Liverpool Times.

STEAM RKE MILL, AT SOUTH BOSTON. 



THE subscriber having purchased ihe Patent Rice Machines 

 of Messrs. Strong, Moody & Co. of Northampton, with the 

 exclusive privilege of using them in Boston and a large vicini- 

 ty, has put them in operation al Soulh Boston, near the Free 

 Bridge. It is well known that rice in its rough slate, or with 

 its outer hull on, will keep .many years, and that after been 

 cleaned, it is subject (particularly in warm weather) to weavil, 

 ami other insects, ami is usually put in bad casks — he therefore 

 hopes, by having this article always in a fresh slate, in casks of 

 different sizes, to meet with a ready sale. The mode of clean- 

 ing being entirely different from any oiher now in use in any 

 other country, the grain is kept quite whole and very clean. It 

 will be put in good casks of usual size, for export ; also in bar- 

 rels and half barrels, and in bags of 100 lbs. each, (which may 

 be returned ;\ also, ground into fine Flour, in quarter barrels — 

 it will be delivered in anv part of the city, for a reasonable 

 charge, and will not be sold in smaller quantities. Also, ihe 

 line Bran, or Flour, so called in the Southern Slates, being the 

 inner coat of the grain, excellent food for horses, cows, hogs, 

 sheep and poultry — and the outer Hull, a prime article for 

 packing glass, crockery, bottles and fruit, and is believed will 

 prove valuable in making Coarse Paper, will be sold at a low 

 price in large quantities. 



This Rice is particularly recommended for whaling ships 

 and others going long voyages, as from being highly polished, 

 and free from dust and flour, and being put into their tight iron- 

 bound casks, it will be free from any insects, until exposed to 

 air. 



[O 3 An Order Box is placed in Mr. Roger's Foreign Letter 

 Office in the area of ihe City Hall, and a sample of the Rice in 

 several Insurance offices. Stale street. JOHN PRINCE,
