At a late meeting of the Committee of the Bos-
ton Agricultural Society, a premium of ten Gui-
neas was adjudged to William Howden of Bos-
ton, for constructing a machine,.by which the
produce Of an acre of corn.was completely thrash-
ed; and the straw raked off, in 40 minutes.
A farmer in Scmersetshire states, in a letter. to
the. Society of Arts, that he constructs temporary
riqks to secure corn in sheaves, in the fields, till
quite dry, as well as clover,. peaS and beans, by
means of four gate hurdles, two of:which he sets
on the outside, perpendicular, and two middle
ones, inclining against and supporting each other.
These hurdles are usually eight feet long ; the two
heads, in which the four bars are mortised, have
pointed ends of about a foot and a, half long ; the
two outside ones are to be forced into the ground,
nearly, to their full length, so that the middle
brace may rest on the grouud,,to afford -some sup-
port, and the two middle ones about six inches to
keep them steady. Stakes are then placed on the
bars, on which the sheaves, &c. rest : they do
not take more than five minutes in construct-
ing. The hurdles may be applied to the pur-
pose of temporary hovels for sheep in wet wea--

A Gentlethan of Reading has discovered a
thod of making closure`bricks, which admit of
eparatiun into four parts, without trouble or
waste, and which; notwithstanding, leaves the
ends square and tyindsome for work. 'this is ef-
fected by means ,of a wire which ems tbrec-
fourths through the middle of :the brick, after it
has been moulded a day or two. 'The additional
expense of dividing.iS about 2s. per 1000. ~ and the
saving; in- brickwork anti labour, is very consi-
derable.— These bricks 'are ,particularly useful
for small piers, chimnies, ornamental work, &c.
On Sunday laSt, just after Mrs. James Bray, of
Diss, and her-aunt had dined, they were token so
very ill that medical aid was immediately resorted
to, and it was' discovered that. arsenic had been
mixed with the flour which the pudding. was
made of, of which they had just partaken. We
are, however, happy t() hear they are both likely
t recover.--It appeared,: -that on. the Saturday
Mrs. Bray wanted to make, a small quantity of
paste, and requested the seevant to bring her some
flew., which she:did, hut forgot that arsenic bad
been mixed with it for the destruction of rats, the
' remainder of which, after making the paste, was
put into. the flour binn, and was the cause of the
above circumstance,.
waterman,- named Swain, was drowned last
Week in the: Aledwa.y, war the spot whore Mr.

that the ves.sel was sinking, be jumped overboard,
and swain towards the shore ; but when he thought
Le had .arrived within his depth, he attempt-
ed to his feet sunk so deep in the mud
OA he was unable to extricate himself, and pe-
rished.
