pounds of Wool Iiave boeri puichased in this vil- 

 lage, the i)icseiu season, for which the farmers of

Anaildilion;il seciiuu of the Baltimore and Ohio 

 Rail Road has been completed, so that 26 miles 

 are now in operation. 



A new factory is to be erected at South Berwick. 

 A building to contain four thousand spindles, is to 

 be put up immediately. 



Ripe pears of the Jargonelle kind have been 

 gathered from a tree of D. Shattuck, Esq. of Con- 

 cord 



Complaint is made in the New Haven Herald 

 •of charcoal tiien : and one, with hardly any ex- 

 ertion, compressed four bushels into a common 

 'flour barrel ; and an old gentleman who bought 

 eight bushels measured in a two bushel basket 

 found, on rc-measuremeut in a half bushel meas- 

 ure, that it held out hut six. In this quarter, large 

 brands sometimes adhere strongly to the bottom of 

 the basket, and travel to and from the cart sever- 

 al titnes. 



Optical Deception. — Ic is stated by a traveller 

 and observer, on the Liverpool and INlanchester 

 Rail Road, that while travelling at the rate of 12 

 or 15 miles jier hour, ohjecis from the carriage 

 window, appear as they do from a stage aoach, to 

 recede, or move in an opposite direction to that of 

 the carriage, but when the speed increases to 24 

 and 30 miles in the hour, they no longer appear 

 to recede, but to move in the direction of the car- 

 riage. This is explained on philosophical ])rin- 

 ciples. It is worthy the thoughts of the curious 

 and ingenious. 



Messrs Dunott and Fairlamb, of Wilmington, Bel. 

 have lately invented a machine, by which (says the 

 Delaware Journal) they are enabled to expedite the 

 production of biscuit or crackers, to almost any ex- 

 tent. It is added that, in the present incipient state 

 of the machine, it will make sixty thousand hand- 

 somely finished crackers in an hour! The macliino 

 is said to be a neat piece of workmanship, occupy- 

 ing little more space than a common spinning wheel. 

 The inventors have obtained a patent for this not- 

 abli; cracker-spinner, and propose sending a model 

 to England.

Medical School in Boston. 

 The Medical Lectures of Harvard University deliver- 

 ed in Boston will be commenced in llie Autumn, at the 

 usual period, viz. on the third Wednesday in October. 

 They will be continued four months. 



This extension in the term of Ihe Lectures has been 

 thought necessary to afford lime for such a course of in- 

 struction and demonslraliDn, as is deemed by the Faculty 

 to be requisite, under the advantages which have recent- 

 ly accrued to Ihe School. 



The Legislature of Massachusetts, with an enlighten- 

 ed liberality, which does honor lo our age and country, 

 have extended the protection of law to the cultivation of 

 Anatomy within this Commonwealth. The advantages 

 which will hence result to students resorting to this 

 school will be sufBcieutly obvious. It will be the aim ot 

 the Prcfessors to carry into elTect the intentions of the 

 Legislature, in such a manner as to evince at Ihe same 

 lime their respect for the rights of humanity, and their 

 interest in the promotion of Ihe healing art. 



The opportunities for pi-actical instruction at the Mas- 

 sachusetts General Hospital continue undiminished. 

 The coiirse of Lectures will be —
