ImprorcmeiU in HulstmJs. Mr. George Porter, a re- 

 speclable cabinet maker of this city, lias invented an 

 improvement in Bedsteads, wliich we deern of great im- 

 portance to the public generally. The improvement 

 consists in putting tiiem up with iron fastenings, simply 

 dropping down the rail wedges to a complete joint. 

 There is no mortice, tenons, or screws, and no harbor 

 for bed bugs. A child may set them up or take them 

 down. In case of fire they may be easily moved. Tliose 

 ■who wish to procure bedsteads, will Co well to e.xamine 

 tliis improvement before they purchase. We understand 

 a great number have already been sold, and _^that Mr. 

 Porter has disposed of the right to use the improvement 

 to several cabinet makers of this city, who are now en- 

 gaged in manutactuiing t<ie article.— Ci'/t. Gaz.

Itch Insect. M. Renneci, a medical student at Paris, 

 has succeeded in detecting the itch insect, (Arcus scab- 

 rei,) the existence of which was doubted. It resembles 

 the mole in shape, and is thus enabled to bnrrow under 

 the cuticle. The discovery has created quite a sensa- 

 tion among the savans of Paris. 



The Chairman of the E.xecutive Committee jaf the 

 New- York Stale Temperance Society, on his return 

 from the great Temperance Convention recently held in 

 Virginia, obtained the following important testimony : 



" Being satisfied from observation and experience, as 

 well as from Medical testimony, that ardent spirit as a 

 d'.ink, is not only needless, but hurtful ; and that the 

 entire disuse of it would tend to promote the health, the 

 virtue and happiness of the community, we hereby ex- 

 press our conviction, that would the citizens of ihe 

 United States, and especially all ijoung men, discontinue 

 the use of it, tliey would not only promote tlieir.own 

 personal benefit, but the good of their country and the
