A new Agricultural Society has been formed 

 in Windham county, Con. whose annual meeting 

 and Show was to have been held at Ponifret on 

 Ihe 26th inst. 



,1 Cow of the Durham Breed has been brought 

 for Jolin Hare Powel, Esq. (by Capt. Scrril) in the 

 Tuscarora, which has just arrived at Philadelphia, 

 from Liverpool. This animal is supposed to be 

 one of the finest of its species that has over been 

 landed upon American soil. 



A new line of Packets is to commence running 

 between Boston and Liverpool, on the Ist of No- 

 vember. New ships are building, to be fitted up 

 in a superior manner. It is hoped this undertak- 

 ing will receive a zealous and liberal encourage- 

 ment from all who wish the prosperity of this city 

 and of New England. 



A singular circumstance has lately occurred 

 near London. On the 18th of August, an oily sub- 

 stance appeared in the Thames, which killed the 

 iish, and shoals were found floating on the surface 

 of the water. A vessel freighted witli oil is con- 

 jectured to have been lost ; various other conjec- 

 tures as to the cause were afloat. The most plau- 

 sible appears to be that whicli attributes it to the 

 lees of the gas works on the river, which is shown 

 m the oily substance which covers the water. 



A work of the Duke of Saxe Weimar, who was 

 in this country in ]825-(), consisting of a Journal 

 and letters written during his stay amongst us, is 

 shortly to be published. 



We have been gratified with examining a mi- 

 croscope made by Mr Ephraim Rand, of Bedford, 

 and which has been exhibiting in this town (prob- 

 ably a solar Microscope.) It magnifies objects 

 four hundred thousand times. We believe no in- 

 strument has been made in this country, which 

 magnifies objects more than half as many times as 

 this does. A common fly appears to be about fif- 

 teen feet in length, and the leg of a grass hopper 

 about twenty feet. Thousands of eyes are percep- 

 tible by means of this wonderful instrument in a 

 common fly, and we also perceive an innumerable 

 number^ of animated being? in liquids. In the

Farnham's Improved Cider Mill. 

 A mill on this plan of full size is 4 feet by 2 1-2. The cylin- 

 der is 16 inches diameter and 9 inches long, the periphery Sx- 

 ed with points of iron or steel, placed iu a spiral form, project- 

 ing 3-16lhs of an inch, placed 2-3ds of one eighth of an inch 

 from each other, there being 17 rows around said block or cylin- 

 der, and 43 teeth in a row ; the teeth may be 4<l brads. The 

 cylinder is put in motion by a whirl and band. 

 ' This mill without the power cost from 10 to 12 dolls; and by 

 giving it 600 revolutions per minute it will grind or grate with 

 one horse power sixty bushels of apples per hour ; with two 

 horses double the quantity. The apples are grated very fine 

 without breaking the seeds. , 



There was rising of two thousand barrels of cider made in 

 one of these mills last year, without expending oiie cent for re- 

 pairs. Agents will shortly be out in the state of Massachusetts 

 to sell out' the rights of towns, counties. &c. , „ „„^„ , v
