In Kilkenny, a few days since, a gentleman named 



Madden, was administering medicine to a glandered 

 horse, when some of the purulent matter of the animal 

 was absorbed in a cut which he had on one of his fingers, 

 and spreading rapidly through the system, soon brought 

 on death. 



Metallic Currency. — It appears from a memorial ad- 

 dressed to the N. Y. Legislature, by the N. Y. Commit- 

 tee of Safety, on the distress of the community, thai the 

 whole amount of the gold and silver in the United 

 States, at this present time, is about $26,000,000,— 

 which, if distributed among a population of 13,000,000, 

 would give to each person two dollars ! 



This simple statement shows the impossibility of es- 

 Itablishing an exclusively metallic currency, more clear- 

 ly and forcibly than volumes of argument. — Boston Mer- 

 cantile Journal. 



A gold mine, recently discovered in Buckingham 

 county, Virginia, is said to excel in richness any pre- 

 viously known in this country. The owner, in one day. 

 witli six or seven hands, raised upwards of two thousand 

 dollars worth of ore. The mine is about eight miles 

 south-east of Buckingham Court House. 



A few days since certain eminent manufacturers of 

 figures in St. Paul's Church-yard, shipped oft* for India 

 and the Ganges no less than five hundred newly manu- 

 factured idols or false gods for sale. The profits from 

 this pious fraud-are expected to make the Christian 

 merchants happy for the remainder of their days ! Two 

 missionaries go out in the same ship ! Thus the natives 

 of India will at once receive their i; bane and antidote."

(Ferraria Tigrida.) 



The root of this flower should be planted in April or early in 

 May, in a light sandy soil, in a warm situation : it will also cm 

 well in a pot, and flowers in July. It often happens that the 

 same root bears several flowers in succession. Ii is scentless, 

 but very beautiful. In Novembercut off the stalk, lake up the 

 root, dry it well for a few (lavs, and put it away in the cellar, 

 in dry sand, till the spring. H there are any offsets, lake them 

 off, and plant them separately from the moiher root.

MACHINE FOR CUTTING FODDER. 



THE simplicity of the construction of this Machine, and the 

 small probability of its getting out of repair, together with the 

 neat and rapid manner that it performs ns work, certainly ren- 

 ders it a desirable article for the purposes for which it is in- 

 tended. Ii is constructed on an entire new principle from an\ 

 heretofore invented, and will cut an huudred weight of hay in 

 ten minutes, two inches long, can also cut any length from three 

 inches to one-fourth of an inch ; it is ted by placing the fodder 

 in a hopper thai stands perpendicular, the knife playing hori- 

 zon tally underneath, by which means all the complicated 

 machinery for feeding and the power necessary to drive it is 

 avoided. 



The Subscriber having become the proprietor of the right of 

 making, &c. said machine, in and for the Stale of Massachu- 

 setts, solicits the public to call and examine for themselves 

 Said Machine is for sale at the store of Proijty & ftfKARS, 

 No. 12 Commercial street, Boston. DAVID P. KING,

PAINT OIL. 



The subscribers keep on hand a constant supply of their 

 " Prepared Paint Oil," which is offered for sale wuli renewed 

 assurances ol its merit. This OJ, independent of being; 25 

 per cent, cheaper in price, will actually cover a quarter more 

 surface, as has been repeatedly proved and confirmed by state- 

 ment of many Painters. Upwards of 200 buildings in this 

 city and vicinity can be referred to. many of them painted 

 two years as; n , which continue to look weli, and retained their 

 gloss through the first year, which is a clear demonstration ol 

 Its strength. The Prepared Paint OU is found lo answer a 

 valuable purpose to mix with Linseed Oil, Ejiviqg it strength 

 and dura mIiiv with a more permanent gloss. Ii paints a very 

 clear while, flows smooth, and is more tree from milldew, and 

 changes resulting from the sea air, than any other Oil.
