 lerstaiid that Sir Humphrey Davy has, within 

 month, discovered that the application of a 

 gas, fifteen times heavier than the atmosphere, 

 lethanism of a steam engine, will produce a 

 ully equal to that which now results from the 

 tion of steam. The great obstacle which stands 

 way of the general and immediate introduction 

 of this gas is the difHculty of confining it. The 

 constructing convenient vessels, sufticifntly 

 for that purpose, Sir Humphrey proposes as 

 ■m, the solution of which must be attended with 

 able benefits to this country.

 tempting to ford the Ousatonic river in Snuth- 

 n. the horse took a wrong direction, and stum- 

 ^ecp water, one of them was drowned, and the 

 caped by her clothes catching on the saddle, by

 edn-sday n-vrning last, the large tavern of Mr. 

 , in 'J--lfast. M^. was consumed by fire, and sad 

 , his amiable daughter, aged 16 years, perished 



in the flames. The fire communicated to the dwelling 

 house of (icorge Watson, Esq. formerly of this city, to 

 the stores of John Angier, Esq. and .Mr. .S. li. Merrill, 

 and five or six barns, all of which, wilh a part of their 

 contents, were destroyed, notwithstanding the spirited 

 exertions of the citizens to save thf:m. 'I'he Editors of 

 the Belfast Gazette aud Patriot, add. — "Mr. .Angler's 

 store is adjacent to our office, and we are now printing 

 this while our triends are anxiously protecting us fVoni 

 the flames. A short time since it was thought a large 

 portion of our village could not be saved from the de- 

 vouring element j but we hope the danger is subsided. 

 We have neither lime nor heart to add more particu- 

 lars." 



The Carding, Fulling, and Dying Factory of Capt. 

 Goodwin, of Bangor, Me. with all the machinery, was 

 d( stroyed by fire the 27lh ult. Loss estimated at 

 9,500 dollars. — Boston Ccntinelof the 22<i inst. 



Fatal Accident. — A yoting man by the name of Lew- 

 is K. Upham, of Bennington, Vt. was killed, by the ac- 

 cidental discharge of a gun, while on a hunting parly. 

 He survived the wound about 38 or 40 minutes after 

 the ball passed through his body. 



Miss Eliza Parsons, of North Yarmouth, Maine, has 

 wrought a bonnet of native grass, said to have been 

 equal to any exhibited in Massachusetts or Connecti- 

 cut ; a lady of Portland purchased the boiinet at $30. 



Exiraordinnry Crop. — Ephraim Wood, Esq. of Cam- 

 den, sowed 5 bushels and 3 pecks of rye in September, 

 1822, on about b acres of ground newly cleared of the 

 wood, which produced 240 Bushels — over 40 bushels to 

 (he bushel sowing, and about 48 to the acre. Its be- 

 ing sown early and on good ground occasioned a large 

 number of shoots to spring from one root — in one bunch 

 was 140 stalks containing 4379 kernels, the production 

 of one single grain ! Would not our crops of winter rye 

 generally be much better if the seed were sown much 

 earlier than usual ? 



A Warning to the Intemperate .' — Mr. Silas Graves, 

 of Hatfield, Mass. of great properly but no family, com- 

 mitted suicide in that town last week. He had lately 

 Income intemperate, aud his mind had been haunted 

 wjtti continual fears of poverty, which are supposed to 

 have occasioned the melancholy act. 



Extensive Fraud. — We learn that money to the a- 

 mounl oi ei^Jtt thousand dollars has been drawn out of 

 the Branch Bank of Pennsylvania, at Lancaster, by 

 means of checks forged in the name of Mr. .lacobs, iron 

 master, Lancaster county. — The last of these checks 

 was presented for payment about a month ago, but it 

 was not till this week that the fraud was discovered. 

 [Phil. Gazette. 



Murder. — A man was found mangled in a shocking 

 manner this morning, in V^'ater street. A rope was fas- 

 tened round his neck, and it is supposed the perpetrator 

 of the deed was dragginghis victim towards the water, 

 hut was interrupted. — Ntio York Statesman. 



J.\CK I'OK S.\LE. 



BARBAROSSA, a .lack, bred by the subscriber, from 

 a large Spanish Jennet, and sired by an import- 

 ed Maltese Jack of the pure Onai^ra stock, is ofl'cred for 

 sale. He is now two years and four months oldj 

 measures 14, and v;ill, when at his full growth, un- 

 doubtedly exceed 1;') hands in height — uniting the bonr 

 and power of the large Sjianish breed, with the spirit, 

 activity and vigor of the Maltese. At the late exhibi- 

 tion at Brighton, he was pronounced, by several gen- 

 tlemen of respectiliility, who have examined this spe- 

 cies of stock in Spain, the Islands in the Meditcranean, 

 and in South America, to be superior to any they 

 ever saw. 



Barearossa is perfetlly docile and kind, was kept 

 with a Filly immediately after weaning, and has pro- 

 pensities., seldom found in imported Jacks, which must 

 enhance his value in the estimation of those accustom- 

 ed to breeding mules. A full warranty of his powers 

 will accompany the bill of sale — and the subscriber has 

 no hesitation in asserting that he is equal to the cele- 

 brated i^ck, Compound., bred by Gen. Washington; 

 (being of the same grade) and that he is superior to 

 any now in the United States or that can be imported. 



If not applied tor speedily he will be shipped to the 

 Island of Cuba, where a much higher price can be ob- 

 tained than is now asked. S. W. POMElvOY.
