 from an oldii:;ing; correspondent in West Boyls- 

 ton, Mass. which was published paa;e 349 of our 

 current volume, but is here given as-ain to

 may be to thcni unknown, forgotten, or not

 as there are 10 spindles attached to the machine, it

 Ihat there would be a dilference in favour of this ma- 

 ciiiiie, of 7f! reins a week, over the common method of 

 spinning. It would thus require but a fortnight or 

 thrte weeks to clear the first cost of the marhine. And 

 any person can easily c.lculate what an immense saving 

 ol lime anil lal'or there would be in the spinning of 

 grtat quantilies of wool, cotton, &c. 



'1 bis machine recommends itself by its simplirily and 

 tjursbility ; as well as for its cheapness. .Any person 

 Car.d be taught how to ^pin with if, in an hour or two, 

 so as to need no furtiier instruction. And another 

 great advantage is, that it is not liable to get out of 

 order. 



The price of the marhir.r, including the apparatus 

 for Doubling and Twisting Yarn, is $^35. Ten spindles 

 are a'.taihed to it, but the number can be varied, as 

 the puicha?-cr may wish. 



The above machine mny be seen at the Agricultural 

 Establishment, 108 Stale-street, where terras may be 

 known for the purchase of the same. 



Tliis marhine will be in operation in one of the lob-

We apprehend that the tar and oil niig-ht be 

 quite as eileclive against ticks, as the decoction 

 of tobacco ; and might, perhaps, be better as 

 respects encouraging the growth ol the wool, 

 and preserving the sheep against the weather. 

 But we wish lliat those who feel an interest in 

 a subject of sych great im|)ortance, would try 

 bull rvcipes on. (liferent sheep, and publish the 

 result. Lambs ofle i suffer much from ticks^«f.

 rff^HlS celebrated Horse is a bright bay, with black 

 i hxcs, standing l^handshigh ; his superior blood, 

 symmetiy and action excel, those of every other trolling 

 Stallion. He is allowed by the best Jutlges in Norfolk 

 to be the fastest and best bred Horse ever sent cut of 

 that County. He has proveel himself a sure foal getter, 

 and his Stuck for size and substance are not to be sur- 

 passed ; Ihry are selling at the hig'i st prices of any 

 Horses ill Norfolk. 



BELLFOUNDER was got by that well known, fast 

 and hish fo*mcd Trotter, Old Bkm.founder, out of 

 V'eloeity. which trotted on the Norwich road, in 1(J06, 

 Sixteen Milts in one hoiii-, and though she broke fifteen 

 times into agallop, and as often turned rounds won her 

 match. In 180!) she trotted Twenty eight mdes in on^i 

 hour and forty seven minutes, and has also done mar.y 

 other great performances against time. 



BEELFOUNDER, at five year? old, trotted Tuo 

 miles in six minutes, and in the following year was 

 matched for 200 guineas, to trot .AVnr milis in thirty 

 minutes, and he won easily by thirty two seconds. His 

 owner shortly after ehaliriged to perform with him Sev- 

 enteen miles and a half in one hour, but it was not ae- 

 cepted. He has since never been saddled or matched.

 stand unrivalled, either in this or any other nation.
