drifts some of them 3 or 4 feet deep. Fruits have been 

 materially injure^ and some kinds probably destroyed; 

 and where corn and garden vegetables were out of the 

 ground, they were fatally nipped, la some places pas-

 other forest trees withered. — Northampton Gazette.

Sleighing In May. A letter from the house of Grant 

 Tlmrburn & Son, dated Albany, May Kith, to a gen- 

 tleman of this city, states that " it commenced snowing 

 on the night of the 14th, and continued the whole ol 

 yesterday with a severe frost, which no doubt has killed 

 all our fruit. Mr. S. has just called and informs us thai 

 every thing that was above ground, say corn, beans, po- 

 tatoes. tVc. are gone. It is a fact worthy of record, that 

 a firmer from Saratoga, about thirty miles from this, stat- 

 ed to us this morning that his horses and wagon had 

 some difficulty to get through the snow yesterday. He 

 measured its depth and found it lay on a level six inches 

 in depth. We are of opinion that we shall not have 

 one peach, plum, or any other kind of fruit in this sec- 

 tion of the country. Almost every sort of seed must 

 be planted over again. — Sun. 



An insolvent applied to the Commissioners at Bristol 

 for his discharge ; among the assets he laid before the 

 board, was thirty " children all by one wile, who had 

 three times presented him with twins. His creditors 

 mostly were medical practitioners. He was discharged. 

 Curiosities. In excavating the Lancaster Lateral 

 Canal, near a place called the " Deep Cut." buries of ex- 

 traordinary dimensions have been discovered. — Among 

 the curiosities found, is a horn six feet in length, weigh- 

 ing 44 lbs., and measuring at the butt-end sixteen inches- 

 Also a tooth weighing 6 3-4 lbs.

MACHINE FOR CUTTING FODDER. 



TTTE simplicity of die construction of this Machine, and the 

 small pro! '.li-ilti v of its getting out of repair, together with the 

 ne ii .i - 1 rapid manner that it performs its work, certainly ren- 

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

 d, h is constructed on an entire new principle from any 

 : ire invented, and will cut an hundred weigh! ol hay in 

 ten m notes, two inches long, can also cut an) length from three 

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

 ippcr that glands 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.
