Tliis spleiuiul amount was collected by one company of 

 hands, working only one iiiacliine, from half an aero of 

 iand. The mine bids fair to be extensive and equally 

 ricli.' 



IVorrester RtuJ Road. We are informed that the total 

 number of persons conveyed by the Worcester Rail 

 Road cars thus far, exceed thirty-four thousand, of which 

 we understand more than twenty-six thousand were for 

 tickets sold fur 3T 1-3 cents each, thus makinir tlie hand- 

 some sum of upwaids of nine thousand dollars since tlie 

 *Jtli of April hist. 



Tliere can be no doubt ihat this undertaking will 

 prove a profitable one. The travel will of course in- 

 crease as the road extends. — Boston Journal. 



Moneij. The New York Advertiser says the determin- 

 ation of the United States Bank to extend their dis- 

 counts, togetlier witU the abundance of specie, has given 

 confidence to the public, and tlie money market is in bet- 

 ter state tban it iias been for the last nine months. 



'• Things are returning to an old fasliioned sound state, 

 wliich gives coniidence to every thing." 



Rats. Accounts of Rats biting and sometimes kilUng 

 infants, are read with some degree of incredulity. There 

 is no doubt, however, that such things have occurred. 

 Jiecently, a woman in Cbester was awakened in tbe 

 night by the sudden screaming of lier child, lying by 

 her side. Having got up and lit a candle, she tound 

 the child's face covered with blood, and on examining 

 sJie discovered that the nose had been j)ierced in two 

 places by something about as large as the teeth of a rat. 

 No rat was seen, but there was a hole near the earth by 

 which these animals sometimes came into the room, and 

 slie and others fully believe tliat the wounds were made 

 by a rat. — Hampshire Gazette.

 exceeds 8c per lb 40 pcrct ad val and 



4c per lb. Smce our last review, the 



quantity of new Wool received has 

 been (juile limited, and mostly on ac- 

 count nfmanufaclurers. The icwsales 

 fleece Wool which have been made 

 during the weeii. have been confined 

 to some small lots at a reduction ol 

 price 10 a loc pei- lb on the prices obtained last fall; sales of 

 No. 1, pulled, have been made to a moderate extent al from 40 

 to 4.5c per lb. We omit quotations, as the unsettled stale of the 

 market prevents our giving correct prices. Advices received 

 litis day from London, dated June 14lh, state, that " the busi- 

 ness in fine Wool continues in a very depressed slale, — Medi- 

 terranean Wool of a similar description maintains the late ad- 

 vance of from 5 a 10 per cent. Buenos Ayrcs and Peruvian find 

 buyersal from 5 to 7d for former, and 10 a lid fi^x the latter."
