FOR THE NEW ENGLAND FARMEIl. 



RULES FOR SUMMER HEALTH. 

 These rule?, though for sumnirr, will, with 

 Hue allowance for latitude and seiison, suit al- 

 most any time and place. 



1. Keep V'urself cool ; but tiiis you may say 

 is impossible in our hot weather. It is indeed 

 difficult, still something is to he done. — Take, 

 for instance, nothing heating and stimulating, 

 merely for the sake of pleasing your palate, or 

 stupifying your brain ; not a drop, except your 

 health requires it. This, at least will save you 

 some money, and prevent many evils beside. 



2. Don't cat too much, which at least half 

 your neighbours do

 before two oVlock, and a General Convention of (he 

 several branches of the Government met in the Hall of 

 the Representatives for the reception of Gen. La Fay- 

 ette, where the proceedings took place, adrerted to 

 nnder the bend Senate. — The Committee of the Judi- 

 ciary was directed to prepare articles of impeachment 

 against Samuel Blagge, Esq. — An order from the Senate 

 ■was concurred in for defraying the expenses of extend- 

 ing the hospitalities of this Commonwealth to Gen. 

 Ea Fayette. 



JUNE 18. A number of resolves passed, and Manag- 

 ers were appointed to present articles of impeachment 

 against Samuel Blagge, Esq. — The Committee on Fi- 

 nance was instructed to prepare an estimate of appro- 

 priations for the present political year, &;c. to make 

 their report in the first day of next Session. — The Roll 

 of the Committee on accounts, amounting to $19,669. 

 07 came down and passed in concurrence. The Pay 

 Roll, amounting to J9G75 was read and accepted. — 

 The Secretary came in and made the communication 

 adverted to in our notice of the proceedings of the Sen- 

 ate, and the Members separated. 



.\ message came from his Excellency informing that is best. No young person should ever sleep 



on leathers, and then old ones will not wish to. 



5. Adapt your clothing to the season ; too 

 much or too little are both and equally bad. — 

 Leave the body wholly free from pressure or 

 restraint. 



G. Subject the passions to reason, and selfish- 

 ness to justice. 



7. Preserve the approbation of your own mind. 



8. U ash your skin locally, more or less, every 

 day — and generally, at least, thrice a week. 



9. Never waste the resources of a sotind con- 



stitution and sound health. If you slioidd fall 

 sick, afler observing these rules, you will at 

 least have the consolation of believing that you 

 have not maile yourself ill. When you can no 

 longer do without medical advice, send for a 

 physician who not only understands bis duty, but 

 is faithful in the discharge of it. Toll him at 

 once all you feel and all you know about your 

 case. Never treat him like a conjuror, nor 

 oblige him to act like one. Follow his advice 

 implicitly ; fell him every time he calls on you, 

 what has happened in the interval ; and then, if 

 he should not succeed in his first effort to re- 

 lieve you, he will be likely to do it in the sec-

 Wheeler's point to South Boston, under the present 

 provisions and restrictions of the act of the 25th Feb.

To Correspondents, We have on hand several com- 

 munications, and shall give some of them in future num- 

 bers. Several Essays ^' On the Tiuty of Instructors'^'' 

 have been forwarded, but we are apprehensive that 

 the ideas, which we believe are very correct, lack a 

 little in point of novelty. Besides, they are somewhat 

 foreign to the principal objects of our paper, which is 

 devoted to Agriculture and Rural Economy. Educa- 

 tion is a subject which has commanded the attention 

 of the first minds in every country fror» the first dawn 

 of civtlization to the meridian blaze of the present pe- 

 riod, and any new light on this topic must beam fVom 

 a luminary of no ordinary splendor. 



The gentleman who informs us that " the mallet and 

 chifiel" are nsed in pruning trees, will accept of our 

 thanks for the inOnrmation, but we. apprehend that it is 

 of a kind which is already possessed by more than nine- 

 ty-nine in a hundred of our readers.

R WILLIAMS' celebrated horse ROM AN, will 

 stand the present season, at his farm, in North- 

 boro', Worcester co. Mass. Terms 20 dollars for the sea-^

machine for 

 for doubling and 

 twisi ing the same, on a simple and much improved plan, 

 offers for sale, rights for states, counties, towns, Sic. on 

 favourable terms. 



The advantages of this Machine are such as will 

 recommend itself to every one who will examine it. 



Besides the improvement in the finish and texture 

 of the cloth which i« manufactured from yarn made 

 by this machine — it also would, in spinning 100 lbs. 

 of common, or 50 or 60 lbs. of fine Wool, clear itself. 

 For it is calculated that a run and a half can be spun 

 in a day by an ordinary spinner, on each spindle, and 

 as there are 10 spindles attached to the machine, it 

 would make 15 run a day, or 90 runs in a week — so 

 that there would he a difference in favour of this ma- 

 chine, of 78 runs a week, over the common method of 

 spinning. It would thus require but a fortnight or 

 three weeks to clear the first cost of the machine. And 

 any person can easily cdculate what an immense saving 

 of time and labor there would be in the spinning of 

 great quantities of wool, cotton, &c. 



This machine recommends itself by its simplicitf and 

 durability ; as well as for its cheapness. Any person 

 can be taught how to spin with it, in an hour or two, 

 so as to need no further instruction. And another 

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

 order. 



The price of the machine, including the apparatus 

 for Doubling and Twisting Yarn, is $35- Ten spindles 

 are attached to it, but the number can be varied, as 

 the purchaser may wish. 



The above machine may be seen at the Agricultural 

 Establishment, 108 State-street, where terms may be 

 known for the purchase of the same. 



This machine will be in operation in one of the lob- 

 bies of the State House, for a short time, where Mr. S.
