 patent Zinc Milk Pans. A pai'ticular account of this 

 great improvement in dairying will be found in the New 

 England Farmer for July 6, 1831. page 405, and many 

 other journals. Milk in these pans will keep sweet 

 longer than in those of other malerials, and thus conse-

 produce one sixth more butter, as has been proved, 

 of tlie sweetest quality. The pans aie very durable, and 

 Qot likely to rust.

 made under the inspection of John Prince, Esq. Roxbu-

 ties in various complaints, will be found in the N. E. 

 Farmer, vol. 5, pare 267, written by S. W. Pomeroy, 

 Esq. and the late Doct. J. G. Coffin. It is highly salu- 

 tary in many summer c^implaints. Doct. Coffin states : 

 ^ Its use has been attended with remarkable success in 

 the early stages of cholera morbus and dysentery — .ind 

 again also in the later stages of these diseases, after the 

 symptoms of inflammation or febrile excitement had 

 ceased It has been strikingly remedial in the lowstates 

 of typhoid and bilious fever. The late Capt. Gilchrist, 

 who for several years followed the Batavia trade, and 

 who had alw.iys sutTered an attack of the severe cholera 

 which proves so destructive of human life in thatclimate, 

 used to say that after ho had this wine with him, and 

 took two glasses of it every morning, he escaped the 

 disease. On one voyage, his mate, who had not taken 

 the wine, was seized with this complaint, when a bottle 

 or two stopped its progress. We have not room to enu- 

 merate many other morbid affections in which this wine 

 has proved useful. In sore throat it has for n any years 

 been considered almost a specific remedy. — Price 75 cts. 

 per bottle. Aug. 3.

 road adjoining his Farm, leading from Dedham turn- 

 pike to Brushhill turnpike, for the purpose of shade and 

 ornament. As the vile wretch who could be guilty of 

 such a crime is dangei'ous to the community, it is hoped 

 that the citizens of Roxbury and Dorchester will be vigi- 

 lant in endeavoring to detect him, in order that he may 

 be brought to public justice. JEREMIAH HILL.
