anil have tltis shocking operation performed. 



About tliis lime a friend of liis told him of a rem- 

 edy ; wliicli was, to apply to his eye a magnet and 

 draw out the steel. One was procured of great 

 power and applied — the second time of applica- 

 tion the steel came out and relieved his eye from 

 the irritation that had hern so very severe; and 

 lie is now about his usual avocations, and saved 

 the dreadful operation of having his eye dug out. 

 Let this be remembered ; it may be of great use 

 to some other sufferer. It is quite possible, thai 

 had the loadstone' been applied ill season that it 

 might have saved the sight of his eye. I hope 

 this circumstance will be generally known through 

 the country, as it may be the "menus of doing much 

 good to those suffering from similar causes.. 



A PANTHER IN SUSSEX, N. J. 



A panther was killed last w'cek, by Mr. Joseph 

 Curreji 4 or 5 miles east of this town. lie had 

 been prowling round the neighborhood for some 

 time, ami on one occasion had caught and dread- 

 fully lacerated a dog belonging to Mr. C. At length 

 the animal grew so bold that he gave chase to a 

 woman, who fortunately reached the house before 

 her pursuer came up with her. Mr. C imme- 

 diately set his dogs upon him, and seizing his gun 

 and axe, sallied out to give his savage visiter n 

 i suitable reception. He was soon driven up a tree, 

 from which, after having received three bullets, he 

 descended, and gave battle to the dogs, when Mr. 

 C. by a fortunate blow with the axe, laid him life- 

 less on the ground. The animal measured about 

 six feet in length, and was stout in proportion.

STEAM RICE MIT,Tj, AT SOUTH BOSTON. 



THE subscriber having purchased the Patent Rice Machines 

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

 exclusive privilege of using ibem in Boston anil a large vicini- 

 tv, has put them in operation al South Boston, near the Free 

 Bridge. It is well known thai rice in its rough state, or with 

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

 cleaned, it is subject (particularly in warm weather) lo wea\ il. 

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

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

 different sizes, t,, inert with a ready sale. The mode of clean- 

 ing being entirely diflorcnl from any other now in use in anv 

 olher country, the grain is kept quite whole and very clean, il 

 will be put in good casks of usual siz?. for export ; also in bar- 

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

 be returned ;) also ground into ilixc Flour, in quarter barrels — 

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

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

 line Bran, or Flour, so called in die Southern Stales, 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 al 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* An Order Box is placed in Mr. Roger's Foreign Letter 

 Officein the area of the City Hall, and a sample of Ihe Rire in 

 several Insurance offices. State street. JOHN PRINCE.
