NEW ENGLAND EAKlMEK. 



Bricks. — In tho vicinity of LonJon upwards of 

 •}0()0 acres have been dug to llie depth of from 4 

 to 10 teet for brick earth. The bricks from an a- 

 K-re of brick-eartli produce about 18,01)0 dollars; 

 and the sum paid to the owners of the soil is 

 8'^200 per acre. An acre at 4 feet deep yields ^ 

 millons of bricks. In tlic manufacture of bricks, 

 the earth is mixed with coal-a»hes and sand. — lb.

Onions. — Mr. William Simonds has raised in 

 lii.s garden in this city, an astonishing crop of on- 

 ions, considering the number planted, and the 

 trround occupied. In t'.vo beds, each of 10 1-3 

 feet long, and 3 feet wide, he planted, in the 

 sptinw, 532 of the Egyptian O'lions, which propa- 

 gate from thn root, and hear no seed at the top. — 

 From these, ho pulled a few days since, 2,<)'40 on- 

 ions many of them of a very large size, each onion 

 planted having a number of others from 3 to 15 

 clustered around the root, and almost all of them 

 l:\r<rc enough for the purpose of cooking. Home- 

 times as many as 18 have been produced from a 

 single plant. The onions are of superior flavor, 

 to almost nny other of that class of esculents. — 

 Trenton True American. 



Remedies for the Tooth Ache. — .Make a solution 

 of Camphor and pulverised Cayenne pepper : dip 

 •■herein a small quantity of raw cotton and apply 

 it to the aft'ected tooth, and it will give instant re- 

 lief. To prevent the composition's getting to the 

 throat, lay a bit of rag over the tooth for a few 

 moments. [Wilmington Herald.] • 



2 drachms of alum reduced to an inpalpable 

 powder, and 7 drachms of nitrous spirits of eitlier, 

 mixed and applied to the tooth, will prove effectu- 

 nl in 05 out of 100 cases. [Ibid.] 



Fever and Ague. — Take 2 ounces of Peruvian 

 bark, 2 of powdered cloves, and 1 of cream of tar- 

 tar ,• mix them together ; divide tho composition 

 into 12 equal doses ; and take one dose every 

 morning, noon, and night till tlie complaint is 

 checked ; then one every morning till the whole 

 is taken. Each dose may be taken in a glass of 

 any kind of spirituous liquor mixed willi water. — 

 Emporium. 



Stiriips and Bedsteads A Mr Powles of Pliila- 



delphia has invented a safety stirup to avoid tho 

 danger of having the foot cauglit wlien a person 

 is thrown from his horse. He has also brought to 

 perfection a bedstead, so arranged, that the suck- 

 ing may be kept continually stretched and the 

 joints so close as to afford no accommodation for 

 the " red coats," those backbiting gentry that 

 " murder sleep." 



Uxtraordinary Cow. — A Cow belonging to a 

 gentleman in this town, yielded yesterday at a 

 single milking, eighteen Quarts of milk. This 

 milking was at two o'clock P. M. after an ab- 

 sence in the pasture of about 18 hours. She was 

 milked again beteen G and 7 in the evening, and 

 gave seven quarts more, making in all, upwards 

 of six gallons of milk draivn from the same cow 

 toithin the short space of five hours. [Hal. Adv.] 



Remedy for Intemperance. — Messrs Reed & 

 Howard, druggists, 44 Hanover-street, have pre- 

 pared a medicine for the cure of Drunkenness, 

 which has been fully tested by several respecta- 

 ble physicians of this city, and is found to possess 

 all the qualities of Dr Chambers' composition. 



Apricots, some of which measured seven inches 

 round, have been taken from a tree in the rear of 

 a gentleman's dwelling in Philadelphia. "

Ilail Roads— The Mass. JnuniM of the l9th inst. 

 contains copies of a correspondiDce cetween Governor 

 Lincoln and the Hon. James Da: !iour, Secretary of War, 

 reladre to the contempkited rail road from Boston to 

 the Hudson. The object of Goieriior Lincoln was, to 

 ascertain how far it was in the power or disposition of 

 that Department, to aid in the necessary examination 

 of the country of the proposed lonte, during the present 

 season. Mr Barbour replied that all the officers under 

 the control of his department foi' similar purposes, 

 were already engaged lor the whole se son, and that 

 no co-oneration could be expected from him. He con- 

 siders the object of the contemplated undertaking of 

 very great importance, and declares his readiness to 

 co-operate in its execution whenever means will justi- 

 fy it. [Portland Advertiser.] 



Marchioness of Widltshy. — We learn by the ship 

 New-York, Ibat this lady, (late MissCaton of Balti- 

 more,) left Dublin the latter end of .April for London, 

 where she still remains ; and report says, for six months 

 previous to her departure, she and the Marquis had 

 not exchanged a word with each other, nor eat at the 

 same table ; this is an excellent episode to the loving 

 letter he wrote to our Aldermen, a few months ago, ac- 

 knowledging the receipt of the canal Medal, and the 

 volume of its history. [Morning Chronicle.] 



Indians. — It is almost as great a curiosity to see an 

 Indihn now a days in this quarter of our country, as it 

 would be at Philadelphia. Not long since, four of 

 these sons of the forest made their appearance, about 

 twenty miles north-west of this place, and were ob- 

 served to leiler about one particular farm for the most 

 of a day, when they borrswed a sp.de; went into a 

 corner of one of the farmer's fields, and dug up three 

 or f»ur small sized brass kettlet, which must have been 

 buried there long before the iiniirovements were made. 

 This done, they talked together for some time, pointed 

 with their fingers in different directions, then hung the 

 kettles on their backs, and walked quietly off towards 

 the setting mn in Indian file. — F.rit (fa.) paper.
