" • ' Ciiy. This is the sort of Flax that was introduced a few years 



since, by Col. Perkins, from Russia, anil which is now exten- 

 sively cultivated in Bristol oounty in this State — and is (bund far 

 superior to the common Flax. 



The following is an exlraci from Ool. Perkins' letter, to the 

 corresponding .Secretary of the Massachusetts Agricultural Soci- 

 ety, accompanying a cask of the seed. 



" When in Ireland last summer, I conversed with some of the 

 venders of Flax Seed, from whom I learnt that the growers of 

 flax preferred ti.e sc^d from Riga, lo that of any other country, 



older it is the better Bathe the parts affected 

 ivith it and yon will find immediate relief. 

 ^'l^HAMES^UN N EL. 

 This prodigious undertaking, notwithstanding 

 the serious casualties which have interrupted its 

 progress, is still to be prosecuted with vigour — 

 Since the irruption of Jan. I'<i, which was less con- 

 siderable than the former breach, the cavity has 

 been fille I, and the water principally re-drawn 

 from the tunnel. About 700 feet remain to be 

 e.'icavated — rather more 'han half the whole dis- 

 tance across the river. The company's funds are 

 reduced to £'il,()00 : and contributions are so 

 iicited from the public in further aid of this grand 

 submarine turnpike The younger Mr. Brunei, 

 one of the superintendants, narrowly escaped the 

 fate of the SIX workmen drowned by the last sud- 

 den incursion. — Eve. Bulletin. 



I.NDIA.\ CURE FOR THE EAR ACHE. 



Take a piece of the lean of mutton, about the 

 size of a large walnut ; put it into the fire and 

 burn it for some ti.me, till it becomes almost re- 

 duced into a cinder ; then put it into a piece of 

 clean rag, and squee/.e it un'il some moisture is 

 expressed, which must be dropped into the ear as 

 hot as the 1 aticnt .■ n Upnr it.

Post Office. — We understand there were up- 

 wards of 8,000 letters assorted and mailed at our 

 Post Office yesterday — an instance of despatch 

 seldom equalled. During the two last days, up- 

 wards of 11,000 were mailed. — A'". Y. Statesman. 



Large Coiv. — A cow four years old, of e.\traor- 

 dinary size, was slaughtered in Hallowell, Me. a 

 few weeks since. She weighed 900^ pounils, and 

 had 71 pounds of tallow. She was raised by 

 Charles Vaughan, Esq. and was one of a breed 

 imported by him in 1793. 



after that the seed from Holland, and last of all the seed from 

 the United Slates ; of this, the seed from the State of New York 

 had the )jreference. Upon inquiry, I Cmind the Dutch seed was 

 preferred, from being more clear of tares than ours, and the in- 

 s|ieciion was more attended 10 in the Slate of New York, than 

 in Massachusetts, The whole importation into Ireland, was 

 64,666 casks, of which 51.854. came (iom the United Slates— 

 10,882 from Holland, and JiOOO from Riga. The Riga seed 

 commands in ordinary seasons. 20 to 30s. sterling more than the 

 Dutch seed, and the latter 10 to 15s. more than ours. An ex- 

 periment had been made of sowing in the autumn, in place of 

 the spring as had been usual. On the 6lh of .Inly I saw flax at 

 BclCast, (which had been sown in October) four feel and an inch 

 in length. This, I understood, was from Riga seed."
