(TRE FOR THE COLIC. 

 Messrs Eilitors — I liave for many years been 

 lijoct to that severe, and often fatal complaint, 

 bilious colic, and ntler using in vain, all the 

 iial remedies recommended by professional 

 ntlemen for the complaint, I have succeeded in 

 dintr out an infallible antidote against that most 

 niciating pain, and am now happy in comrauni- 

 tini; to the public, the result of what at first, was 

 eroly an experiment, but has since been so often 

 mon^trated, that I can confidently recommend 

 to the atiiicted as a medicine worthy of their 

 ciiliar notice — The remedy is simply this: — 

 k^' one oz. of cajnphor, and dissolve it in half a 



I of spirits of wine, let it be kept in a bottle 



II corked, and it will at all times be fit for use. 

 hen suiTerino; with the colic, or when symp- 

 ns indicate its approach take one tea-spoon full 

 the above mixture, and should it not remove the 

 n in fitteen minutes, repeat the dose, whicli 1 

 e invariably found to be sufficient to give im- 

 (iiate relief. 



S'. 15. — The above medicine must be taken into 

 stomach in its undiluted state, or it will not 

 e the desired effect till next day ; after suffer- 

 with the colic a gentle dose of medicine may 

 taken, such as epsom salts, ca.stor oil or the like.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING. 



n New England, in the days of my grand-moth- 

 hoy used to preserve their ripe Jf'atermelons 

 1 Green Corn, so as to have them fresh in winter 

 spring, bv placing them, till used, under their 

 stacks. This practice might perhaps be ap- 

 d usefully to some other fruits and vegetables, 

 armors too, might easily save the flesh of 

 rses and Cows, and confer a kindness on their 

 mals, in preventing the usual annoyance o( Flits 

 simply oiling the parts most exposed. Flies 

 . not alight a moment on the spot, over which 

 oiled sponge or cloth has been pressed. Prob- 

 f either fish or flaxseed oil would answer ; but 

 it I liave known used with success was the 

 iner's oil. Every man who is compassionate to 

 beast, ought to know this simple remedy, and 

 ry Livery Stable and Country Inn ought to 

 e a supply at hand for the use of Travellers.

SOCIETY, 

 his flourishing association does not depend up- 

 Qovelty or parade for its continuance — every 

 1% adds a new proof of its usefulness — a new 

 itement to its exertions, and a new feeling of 

 ouragement from the benefits which have fol- 

 ed its eifovts. Six farms are already offered 

 he inspection of the committee appointed to 

 t duty, and the other departments which the 

 ;iety have in charge are equally promising.

CURE FOR WEAK EYES, 

 "ake a small lump of white copperas — say about 



si.:e of a pea ; put it in a small phial, holding 

 ut two ounces of water; carry this in the pocket, 



occasionally taking out the cork, turn the phial 

 an the finger's end, and thjs bathe the eyes. — 



3 will positively effect a real cure in a short 



Siptcmber, the month of fruits and fevers, of sul- 

 try noons and dewy evenings, has commenced its 

 reign of incipient desolation. The deep and opu- 

 lent green of the sunnner verdure begins to fade 

 into a variety of sickly tints under its withering 

 influence : and tlio dry rustling of falling leaves, 

 ; robbed of their juicy elasticity, and scattered by 

 every breath of the autumnal breo/e, will soon bo- 

 gin to teach us the gloomy but salutary lesson of 

 our own decay. There is, after all, however, a 

 mellowness and a beauty in the autumn landscape, 

 which, to the contemplative mind, is more fascinat- 

 ing than the gaudier livory of the summer. The 

 vegetation of our forests " dies like the dolphin," 

 ■ changing to a tliousand splendid hues ; day pours 

 its profusion of light upon us with a moderate in- 

 tensity of heat ; and the intellectual and physical 

 systems begin to resume the vigorous tone which 

 had languished and become paralyzed under the 

 powerful influences of a vertical sun. The vintage 

 and the gathering of fruits belong to this season ; 

 the grape yields its wine and the apple and the 

 poach give their grateful juices ; the harvests are 

 housed ; and nature pours all her annual bounties 

 into the lap of man. If we were to designate the 

 period in human existence to which the month of 

 September corresponds, we should select the lime 

 when the hair turns grey, when the blood abates 

 its fiery and tumultuous course through the veins, 

 when the intemperance of the passions subsides in- 

 to a calm and even course, and when we begin to 

 nerve ourselves for the struggle of decay and 

 death. [Nat. Jour.] 



'j*he National Advocate gives the following re- 

 cioe for making coffee, which, it is said, will 

 equal the best Mocha : we doubt it. 



Shell the common chesnut, roast and grind it as 

 you do coffee grains; mix some succory or chiccory 

 with the chesnut powder, as is commonly done 

 with coffee, and in the same proportion and you 

 will find it so palati'ble and pleas.'int that you will 

 never again feel disposel to purchase foreign cof- 

 fee. 



The experiment is easily tried. 



Grasshoppers. — The Troy Budget of the 15 ult. 

 says — A correspondent informs us that in the 

 town of Poultney.and a considerable extent around, 

 the ravages of these destructive insects are truly 

 alarming. Whole fields of hay have been mowed 

 after every leaf had been destroyed, leaving noth- 

 ing but the stalks or strav/. Cabbages are entire- 

 ly divested of their leaves, and other garden veg- 

 etables are destroyed. Apple trees in some places 

 entirely leafless and even apples are eaten by 

 them. 



The corn is greatly damaged. The distresses 

 of the farmers must be severe. It is said that 

 good cows are sold in some parts of Washington 

 county for from three to five dollars ; the drought 

 and grasshoppers having destroyed the grass, &c. 



EXTRACTS FROM AN ADDRESS, 

 Delivered before the Rhode Island Society for the 



Encouragement of Domestic Industry, by William 



Hunter. — Concluded from page 43. 



I have before said that manufactures have been 

 every where introduced by the- impulse of power- 

 ful ex>raiieois causes. Our capability to estab- 

 lish, and with fair and judicious encouragement to 

 succeed in Manufactures, has undoubtedly been 

 discovered hy the accidents of the revolutionary 

 era, in which our lot has been cast. That capa. 



bilify is now acknowledged — .it was elicited and 

 developed by events — what a sound and saga- 

 cious theory suggested, is now proved as a fact. 

 .\rc we not to improve the treasure we have 

 found, merely because the convulsion.s of the times 

 and the tempest of the revolution threw it, as it 

 were, a wreck on our shores ? Is it not given to 

 us in the kindness of Providence, as a compensa- 

 tion for the evils and disasters we have in a de- 

 gree endured from the fury of that very tempest ? 

 Is it not given to us in compensation for opportu- 

 nities of profit and commercial enterprize, from 

 which we are nov/ debarred by the present pacifi- 

 cation of Europe ? For even yet it is in a two-fold 

 point of viqw th»t we ought to speak of our situa- 

 tion. Affected as it was by the afliiiirs of bellige- 

 rent Europe, and rcaft'ected as it is by the condi- 

 tion of pacificated Europe. If our whole popula- 

 tion were to be devoted to the single pursuit of 

 Agriculture, that pursuit must languish, because 

 its former ?upport, foreign commerce, now fails. 

 The nocessties of Europe no longer avail us. — 

 Those countries that supply us with their Manu- 

 factures, prohibit the importation of our grain and 

 provisions. The product of our farms on shore, 

 and more th»n that, of our fish and oil, the pro- 

 duct of our Dcean farms, are not to us the means 

 of foreign remittance for foreign Manufactures. — 

 Buy where jrou can buy cheapest, is the cry of 

 those opposed to Manufactures, who quote Adam 

 Smith without understanding him ; for to buy in 

 simple hone5ty means payment ; and if all you 

 have is refused in payment, how can yoi^buy ? — 

 The argument addressed by our forefathers to the 

 British Parlionient so long ago as the discussion 

 upon the sufar bill, is directly applicable to ouF 

 present situa'.ion. If, said they, you will not per- 

 mit us to dispose of our provisions abroad, for the 

 pur]>ose of procuring remittances for the payment 

 of your Manufactures, we must manufacture at 

 home. Just in proportion to the extent of our Ag- 

 riculture, if its products are refused by foreigners, 

 must you encourage, and in fact create, a dome^- ; 

 tic market. That can only be done by selling to 

 those who aie not employed in Agriculture. We 

 shall exchange a foreign demand, which, while it 

 existed, was only casual and precarious, for a do- 

 mestic demand certain and constant. A superior 

 capacity to furnish the produce of the soil, is noth- 

 ing unless other countries agree to take it, or we 

 can profitably consume it at home. The fruits of 

 our soil, thougli they will not be taken in payment 

 by the foreign, are most willingly received by the 

 domestic manufacturer. The fine flour of Virginia 

 is a good payment for the coarse cottons of Rhode 

 Island. A neighborhood market is what farmers 

 want, and that the manufacturing towns and vil- 

 lages give. Perishable articles cannot be trans- 

 ported' at all. The price of distant transportation 

 absorbs the value of the hardiest. Look at the 

 immense effect in any country where Manufac- 

 tures have been established. The adjoining farms 

 gradually assume a new appearance. A calculat- 

 ing and scientific Agriculture commences, and the 

 stimulus of prompt demand converts morasses into 

 meadows, and meadows into gardens. What is 

 the degree and mode of protection which a wis» 

 and paternal government will extend for the pro- 

 motion of Manufactures, is a question depending 

 upon details and niceities too minute for present 

 consideration. But does not the protection of 

 Manufactures to a judicious, that is to a success- 

 ful degree, rest upon deeper principles than even
