VEGETABLE CURIOSITY.


VEGETABLE CURIOSITY.
A sweet potato, which grew on the
farm of Mcssrs ROCKWELL and M'KEN-
NEY, in Six Mile Prairie, during the pre-
sent year, has the form OF a goose in such
perfection as to excite the surprize OF all
who see it. The body, neck, and head,
are well proportional. A small projec-
ton from each extremity, resembling the
bill and tail-the regular and graceful
curve Of the neck, and two indentations
in almost the precise spots where the
eyes should be, serve to render the imi-
tation SO close, that if the vegetable ma
terialwere not as apparent as the animal
form, it would have puzzled the brain
OF many wiseacre to ascertain whether
it were the work of nature or art. 1t is

SPANISH CLAIMS.

The Board OF Commissioners, under the 1ih
article Of the Florida Treaty, alter most laborious
session, having completed the examination of all the
cases in which the claimants were prepared for a
hearing, adjourned on the 22d inst to meet again
on the 9th of February next. OF the claims set
down for examinations they have decided upon 90;
Of which | Is have been allowed as raiid, and 79
have been rejected, for want of sufficient evidence
TO establish their validity. In this number of claims
are embraced the losses upon l36 vessels; in 70 Of
which the proofs have been considered satisfacto
ny. and in 81 as insufficient.
Since the June session OF the Board, no memorial
OF claim has been permitted to be filed, unless &C.
companied by an affidavit Of the party, alleging
some satisfactory reason for the delay neglect TO
present it under the repeated orders of the Board,
10 this respect. The whole number of memorials
now on lille is 1861 OF which 1176 have been re-
ceyed as showing cases within the terms Of the
treaty. OF this number. however, many are mere
supplements, intended either to correct SOME infor-
mality in the original memorial, to add some fact
regarded as important to the history oil the case.
The nominal amount of the claims received, is
about eighteen and half millions of dollars; bu,
the restrictions under which they have been receiv
ed, and the principles of decision already settled
by the Board, will very considerably reduce this
amount
In every instance oil rejection, the Commissioners
explained at length the grounds Of their decision
which have been generally such as TO satisfy the
Counsel and Agents employed before them.

IMPORTANT INVENTION.

A gentleman Of this state, to whom this country
is much indebted for his former inventions, has Iates
ly completed machine for cutting Fur from Skins,
without injury to the Pelt, which has heretofore
been rendered useless for Leather. 1t is also as.
ccrtained that this machine will shear Cloth much
better than any machine now in use.--One man
can cut, with this machine, the fur from 1000 skins
per day, or shear $500 yards Of cloth-whereas the
cutting of the fur from so skins shearn 100 yards
of cloth is considered days work, by the present
mode OF cutting and shearing. Thus there is sa-
wing of l920h of the labor-the fur cut by this
machine is pronounced by good judges to be better
than that cut in the usual way. Considering the
great saving of SKINS particularly the seal, and la
Dor, We must pronounce it one of the most impor~
tant inventions which has honored our country.
