 moving' in an orbit round tlie sum, within that of the 

 earth. He estimates the time of their annual revolution 

 nt L82days, At the time when seen, some of them must 

 have approached so near the earth as to fall within our 

 atmosphere, which caused their combustion, and thus 

 rendered them visible. It is a singular fact that the 

 great meteoric phenomena in 1?!*!', appeared Nov. 12th,

 of the heavenly bodies are said to have occurred in this

MACHINE FOR. CUTTING FODDER. 



THE simplicity of the construction of this Machine, and the 

 small probability of its getting out of repair, tog-ether with the 

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

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

 tended. It is constructed on an entire new principle from an v 

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

 ten mi nines. I wo inches long", can also cut any length from Mine 

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

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

 zontally underneath, by which means all the complicated 

 machinery for feeding and the power necessary to drive it is 

 avoided. 



The Subscriber having hecome the proprietor of the right ol 

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

 setts, solicits the public lo call and examine for themselves. 

 Said Machine is for sale at the store of Proiitv & Mkars, 

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

PIE PLANT; or, Rhtuau RapHoii C u -um. 



This valuable vegetable is a perfectly palatable acid, and 

 answers most of the purposes that apples or other fruit do lo 

 cook, preserve, or dry for winter use. The stems of the full 

 grown leaves of this plant are at all thnes lit for use ■ they re- 

 quire no other preparation than washing and cutting into short 

 pieces, and are then fit lo make pie-;, larts, <\yy. or pres< n e, the 

 same as apples. The leaves are frequently from two to three 

 feel wide, and four feet long. To have this plant produce in 

 p if eiiou. sow the seeds on a rich spot of ground; water them 

 frequently in dry weather, while the plants are young; in the 

 fall or spring following, prepare a spot of ground eighteen in- 

 ches deep, and very rich with rojilen manure, on this, set out 

 the plants four feet apart each way. One plant well cultivated 

 at three or tour years old, will produce in one season, from 

 i.,iii\ lo forty weight or upwards, fil for use.

PAINT OIL. 



The subscribers keep on hand a constant supply of their 

 " Prepared Paint Oil/' which is offered for sale with renewed 

 assurances of its merit. This Oil, independent of being 1 25 

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

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

 ments of many Painters. Upwards of 200 buildings in this 

 city and vicinity can be referred to, many of them paint'. I 

 two years ago, which continue to look well, and retained their 

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

 Its strength. The Prepared Paint Oil is found to answers 

 valuable pnrpose to mix with Linseed Oil, giving it strength 

 and dur ihility with a more permanent gloss. It paints a very 

 clear while, flows smooth, and 1*1 more free from milldew, and 

 1 hi 11 j 1- resulting from the sea air. than any oilier Oil.
