Boston and JForcester Rait Road. — A meeting of 

 the suhsf-rihers to the Boston and Worcester Rail 

 Road was held in this city on Wednesday last, 

 for the purpose of orgainzing the company. It 

 appeared that the whole number of shares, 10,000, 

 were suhscrihed, and that the suhscrihers present 

 voted to accept the act of incorporation and to es- 

 tablish hye-laws for the government of tlie compa- 

 ny. The following gentlemen were unanimously 

 chosen Directors, viz : George Bond, David Hen- 

 shaw, Thomas Motley, Henry Williams, Daniel 

 Dennoy, Joshua Clapp, and Nathan Hale. 



BOOKS NOT INFALLIBLE. 



Sir H. Davy's Lectures on Agrictdtural Chem- 

 istry is a valuable hook ; and every farmer, who 

 reads ought to have it. But he should not follow 

 it, or any other hook, farther than the author 

 follows nature and reason. It may lie laid down 

 jis a maxim in farming that no practice can he 

 good that is opposed to either. We may all see 

 that fivorite systems have such a j)owerful influ- 

 ence over the mind of man, that they too often 

 cloud his understauiling, and reason imperceptibly 

 bends and becomes subservient to them. 



Mode of marking Sheep without injury to the 

 wool. — An English writer gives the following. 

 Mark on eitlier side of the nose of the sheep, the 

 initials of the owner's name, aiul on the opposite 

 side any number by which he may chouse to de- 

 signate the particular sheep, by means of a small 

 iron letter or figure about an inch long ; which 

 being flipped in common oil colors, mixed with 

 turpentine to dry them more readily, if placed on 

 the part described, will continue until the next 

 shearing season. The process is easy, and will 

 give the animal no pain ; the marks cannot be 

 readily obliterated, which is not the case with tat- 

 tooing or cauterizing. 



Patent Zinc Milk Pans. 



This article which has been introduced into general 

 u»c amonp the Pennsylvania and Jersey farmers, and 

 which is found upon trial to be superior to any other 

 pan for the purpose inteudctl, is now otfered for sale at 

 the Agricultural Warehouse, 52, North Market street. 

 From actual experiment it is found that milk deposited 

 )n these kind of pans will produce an eig;hth part more 

 cream, and keep much cooler than in any other way.

30 Dollars Reward.

 large number of young rock maple Trees, set out on the 

 road adjoinins; his Farm, leading from Dedbacn turn- 

 pike to Brushliill turnpike, for the purpose of shade and 

 ornament. As the vile wretch who could be guilty of

 that the ciuzens of Koxbury and Dorchester will be vigi- 

 lant in endeavoring to detect him. In order that he may 

 bebrought to public justice. JEREMIAH HILL.

Medical School in Boston. 

 The Medical Lectures of Harvard University deliver- 

 ed in Boston will be commenced in the 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 demonstratlDn.a.- is deemed by the Faculty 

 to be requisite, under the advantages which have recent- 

 ly accrued to the School. 



The Legislature of Massachusetts, with an enlighten- 

 ed liberality, which does honor to 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 sufficiently obvious. It will be the aim of 

 the Professors to carry into elTect the intentions of the 

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

 time their respect for the rights of humanity, and their 

 interest in the promotion of the healing art. 



The opportunities lor practical instruction at Ihe Mas- 

 sachusetts General Hospital continue undiminished. 

 The course of Lectures will be — 

 On Anatomy and Surgery, by Dr Warren. 

 " Chemistry, by Dr Webster. 

 " Materia Medica, bv Dr Bigelow.
