,/. — Mr Mar.!us Bull, of Coiineclicut, has 

 riotis cxiicriiiients to ascertain the com- 

 viiUic of ciillureiit kimls of wood for fuel. 

 lin^f to Ills table, if ire assume the price of 

 ark hickory wood to be 'j,5(t per cord the 

 uf other kinds will be as follows : — pignut 

 y >•"-!, .'{r ; white o.ik "^,1)3; while ash 1,93; 

 k l,/3; black binli 1,57; hard maple and 

 oiik 1,50 ; yellow pine and sot in.iple 1,35; 

 It 1,30; white birch 1,"^0: white pine 1,05; 

 poplwr 1,00. Mr Bull foui-d that gheeu 

 oiitaine 1 37 per ct-iit. iu moisture , green 

 Oik 41 per cent and green KOit maple 48 

 t. A cord of the latter will therefore weigh 

 ire as mui.li when green as when dry. 

 I'tlieved that most pco|.!e would be uii 

 to sell wooa accordin;^ to Mr Bull's table 

 ip.ir«tive values, however just it may be.

to put the unwilling sentinel forcibly into

 one exertion of his arm tossed the reluctant 

 lier, gun and all, to his station, with a violence 

 convinced him of the uselessness of further

/'row the Parifu: — We have seen letters from 

 Callao Bay to the 20th July. Com. Hull had re- 

 turned thither from Lima. The accounts from Li- 

 ma were tliat u plot to send Bolivar,and his troops 

 out of the country, had been detected there, and 

 that thirty persons of the first families had been 

 arrested and impri.wned as leaders of the con- 

 spiracy. It was the general opiuion at Lima, that 

 Bolivar would he assassinated, but not before he 

 had sliot the persons suspected. One of the letter 

 writers add, " 1 have seen 37 persons shot — 20 at 

 one time." In what will such things end .'

To the Lovers of Good Beer. — Put two quarts of 



molasses into^ keg of ten gallons cool water 



Boil two oz. a:lspicc, two oz. ginger, two oz. hops, 

 and half a pint of Indian meal, in two or three 

 quarts of water, about an hour — strain it into the 

 keg while hot, add one pint of yeast — shake it 

 well togeths.- — stop the keg nearly air tight, and 

 let it stand about twenty-four hours, when it will 

 be fit for use. 



Gm'mandhinf^. — On Monday last, in this vil- 

 lage, a man upon a banter undertook to eat, with- 

 in an hour, o;if hundred round clams. They were 

 to be roasted for him,and he was to take them out 

 of the shells himself. He despatched a batch of 

 30 in 5 minutes, and proceeded wilh the others 

 until he !iad swallowed 77, when the 78th ' went 

 and came, like tlie old woman's snap.' However, 

 he at length disposed of that and another, when 

 he gave up the job, having actually devoured 70 !

I'he Ink made by Messrs. Samcei. Kidder & Co.
