NEW ENGLAND FARMER.

e Slorm. — Papers from the South give sad ac- 

 s of the effects of the late storm. At Norfolk the 

 ler and lightning were very severe, with much 

 jid but little snow. In Philadelphia considerable 

 ire was done to the shipping and wharves, and 

 ities of cord wood were floated away by the UD- 

 only high tide. The Democratic Press informs 

 •' the sloop Tripler, with several smaller vessels, 

 Httrally been groiuid to pieces.'''' The N. York 

 latile Advertises gives a long and deplorable ac- 



of disasters among the shipping and wharves, 

 ;veral buildings on shore were likewise demolish- 



the fury of the equinoctial tempest, 



■acy and Murder. — Captain Robinson, of the brig 



lere, from New Orleans, states, that the brig , 



iin Perkins, of Kennebunk, arrived at the Balize 

 21st of March from Port au Prince, via. Cam- 

 •. While at the latter port, Capt. Perkins' brig 

 oarded by a piratical schr. of about forty tons, 

 ed with a crew of forty brutes in humau shape, 

 tabbed Capt. P. iu several places, and cut off his 

 rm. Capt. P. then made known where the pi- 

 would find what money was on board, which 

 nted to about two thousand doublooWs. Not sat- 

 with this, the murderers proceeded in their work 

 lod, and cut off the right arm, and one of his legs, 

 the knee. The inhuman monsters then dipped 

 ntity of oakum into the oil, and after filling the 

 1 of poor Perkins with this combustible, they 

 d him in the oakum, and setting fire to it, soon 

 lated his sufferings. The mate was stabbed 

 :h the thigh. The brig was robbed of every 

 ible article. 



i French brig Jenne Henriette, from St. Jago de 

 for Nantz, having been robbed of almost every 

 on board, has put into Savannah. Two ladies, 

 igers in the schr. bound to New Providence which 

 leen previously robbed, were put on board the 

 h brig. The ladies have been robbed of every 

 One of them, with a small child by her side, 

 rope put round her neck, and a knife held to her 

 to enforce a disclosure whether any money was 

 ird. The ladies suppose the crew to have been 

 irdered. 



t. Harding, who arrived in Boston last Monday, 



lays from Havana, left there, schr. Evergreen, 



Upton, from Salem, just arrived — was chased 



the Bay of Matanzas, by two piratical boats, and 



ming down for Havana, threw over her deck 



) get clear of a piratical sch. Brig Alert, of Ports- 



, from New Orleans, with a deck load of live 



ad just arrived. Off the Moro, she was boarded, 



knight, by two piratical boats, with six men 



and Captain Charles Blunt, {of the Alert) was 



and thrown overboard .' The Cook was stabbed 



arown among the hogs, and nearly devoured by 



before being discovered and rescued. Several 



crew badly wounded, and the brig robbed. 



:hael Doak Dennis, a foreigner, for many years 

 ard of a man of war, but who had lately un- 

 :en to preach the gospel, has been sentenced 

 ie months imprisonment, for abusing and insult- 

 respectable married woman, at Newburyport, by 

 lewd and offensive language.

 nor, Lieut. Governor and Senators, throughout the 

 State. The votes in this city were as follows :

Distressing Accident. — David Dunham, Esq. a re- 

 spectable merchant of New York, fell overboard from 

 a sloop iu descending North river, about forty miles 

 above the city, and was drowned. 



Miss Mary Davis, of Franklin county, N. C. lately 

 wove a bag which will hold three bushels, without a 

 seam. It was wove with three treadles. 



J'i'eu- Potatoes of the growth of the present season, 

 raised by Aaron Sisson, of Seekouk, were brought to 

 town ou Saturday, and served up at Horton's hotel, 

 yesterday, at dinner. They were planted late in au- 

 tumn, and covered with a layer of sea-weed and earth. 



Providence Jourt\al. 



Postage. — A gentleman of Manchester, (Eng.) lately 

 had to pay for a letter, one pound, fourteen shillings 

 and ten pence. It containetl a gown of the value of 

 twelve shillings, sent as a present to his wife, and or- 

 dered through mistake " by post." 



This reminds us of a member of Congress, not far 

 from South Carolina, who franked Scott's Family Bi- 

 ble, and sent it in the mail from V^'a£hington to his 

 wife. 



The late Mr. Gr.^nger, while Post Master-General, 

 availed himself of his privilege of travelling gratui- 

 tously in the Mail Coaches — but on one occasion the 

 driver, not apprized of his station, told him that if he 

 wished to go free, he must get into the mail. This ex- 

 pedient, which was totally impracticable, was fortu- 

 ufitely unnecessary. 



PRICES OF COUNTRY PRODUCE, &c.

 ice of the pressure of the times, that there were 

 en hundred applications for the ofEce of clerk in

 >t being able to dispose of the whole from his 

 he manufactured the residue into sour krout, 



he now sells at from 8 to 10 dollars per barrel, 



irtatioQ to India. — ^V. I'. American. 



als. — Our brethren of the Southern States (says 

 i» 'W York Statesman) will probably be surprized 

 ' It n that upwards of two thousand men have been 

 ;«k upon our canals during the whole of the cold 

 passed. In May next the number will be in- 

 to six or seven thousand, and by October it is 

 1 to open the navigation from Lockport to Al- 

 yiO miles. Thus we manage matters in this

SAFFORD'S STRAW CUTTER, 



THE utility of cutting Hay, Straw, and other sub- 

 stances for feeding cattle, is now so universally 

 acknowledged that any remarks on the subject must 

 be deemed superfluous. The following Certificate will 

 therefore be conclusive of the merits of the above mcn.- 

 tioned Machine. 



Hasten, March 22, 1C23. 

 W^e, the subscribers, have in operation a Straw 

 Cutting Machine invented and exhibited in this city by 

 Noah Safford, and we do not hesitate to say that in our 

 opinion it exceeds any other we have ever seen, for 

 cheapness, simplicity, despatch and durability.

 Hezekiah Earl, Akdrew Slater. 



0^ The above mentioned Machines may be had of 

 J. R. NEWELL, at the Agricultural Establishment,
