COMMUNICATED

There is now lying at the mouth Of Wayne ST
in this city shaop rugged Keel Boat, thirty five
feet long, with several families on board, who en-
barked in this boat at the mouth of Wood creek
head Of the Oneida Lake, state Of New York. The
course pursued to reach Pttsburg was by passing
down the Oneida Lake and through Oswego river
into Lake Ontario, thence up the Niagara 10 within
five miles OF the Falls. The vessel was then carri-
ed round the Falls wheels, aud placed in the river
two miles above the Falls; she then pursued her
course 10 Portland, on Lake Erie, and was again
placed on wheels, and carried seven miles along q
good road TO the Chaaqua Lake she passed through
Chatsqua Lake and creek into Conewango creek
entered the Allegheny river at Warren, Erie coun-
ty, Pa. and arrived safe Pittsburgh. Facts like
these worth preserving, and their diffusion may
be Of ultimate utility. |, is also practical evil
dence that water communication between Pitts
burgh and New York can be opened without diff

We would add further-that it proves to de-
monstration, the impracticability Of the Phiadel-
phians opposing Free road from that place to this
II Pittsburgh can consistently with her own inter
est trade with Philadelphia she will do so--and we
are persuaded the preference would be given to that
city-but when we find her opposing our best in

idle. We feel confident, that unless something is

From the Brattleboro' Messenger.

once lived with an Englishman who had been
wine and spirit merchant, who had the best cider
of any man ! almost ever knew. lie used to ma
mage as follows:
All rotten apples were reJected-the mill was
perfectly sweet and clean and the cider very care
fully strained so that the smallest bit OF pulp was
stopped--Hc preferred fermenting his cider in tubs
shut; II that could not be done he narrowly watched
the barrels to keep them full, and as soon as it had
done working he racked his cider off into other
casks after he had most thoroughly cleaned them,
which he did with hot scaldiug water, putting the
vessel upon bit Of wood to give il more play and
then putting piece Of chain into the cask and wor
ked it we'll, repeatedly changing the water. After
the inside OF the cask pretty dry he stunned 1t,
as he called it; that u.s. he took strips Of old linen
cloth twelve inches long and two broad and dipped
them into melted birthstone; one OF these he suspen
ded in the barrel wire, and set 1t on fire After
this he puts few pals OF cider in and worked it
well to mix il with the fumes; then he burnt ano-
Their match and worked it again. He did nothing
TO it but bung it up tight until late in the win
ter, when he racked ii into brandy hogshead which
he STUNNED as before, then bunged it up, and as
the spring opened he fined it. His cider a de-
licous drink and kept for years He used to say,
10 have good cider we must have no rot no must or
sourness, nor sediment left in the cider, and spirit

To the above observations would add, that the
larger the cask the better the cider.

in keeping cder-But TAKE NOTICE--cider
brandy that is reduced with l1lc tcnes is not good
for cider; but will tend TO injure it very much; this

We understand that orders have been transmit
ted from the Navy Department to our cruizers in
the West India seas, in future 10 avoid going into
sickly ports only in cases of necessity, and in such
cases to remain but short period. This measure
has probably been taken in consequence of the great
mortality that has occurred the past season among
the crews Of our vessels OF war, it is hoped will have
the effect Of preventing the like evil in future. The
British vessels OF war on the same station have suf-
fered much less by sickness than own; the cause
has been Justly attributed to the fact that they have
been much more cautious in their intercourse with
sickly places
We are also informed that the Congress frigate,
Capt. Biddle has special orders in regard the
Porto Rico prvateers, which it is hoped will have
the effect to render our commerce with the Main
less hazardous than at presently. 4 .fsr .ddr.

For Worcester North District,

Hon. BENJAMIN ADAMS.

Congressional Elsetion.-It is gratifying to
find that there is a general accordance with
the views suggested in our last The non1in-
alton of Mr.. Hastings, in the Boston CentineI,
meets with no appreciation in this quarter
Although purporting to come from Worces-
ter" there is reason to believe il did not pro-
coed from this town; for the paragraph is
generally disclaimed, and its object loudly
reprobated. We Cannot but hope that, in ev-
cry other part of the District, efforts to create
division and to defeat the election, will be
discountenanced.
The experience Of the last election ought
to induce those who regard the permanent
good of the District, to disregard every minor
consideration for the sake of those of greater
Importance. A determination to do so pre-
walls here. Let it every where prevail, and
the result is certain-Mr. Adams will be elect
ed; and the District win be replaced on the
vantage ground" which it has lost.

fearei that the TURKS have succeeded in re-
ducing the Greeks to subsection. Indeed it
would be wonderful if it were otherwise.
The Greeks have in fact been struggling
against the conbined power of Christian Eu-
rope as well as their Mahomedan oppressors
The operations of the Turkish army have
been directed by European officers, and its
forces have been transported in Austrian ves-
sells. The whole influence of England, Aus
tria, and of other powers, has been exerted
to sustain the Turkish empire, and to defend
it from Russia. With such &c fearful odds''
against them, the Greeks struggle In vain,
and Christendom is entitled to the honour of
more firmly rivetting their chains. But this
monstrous coalition Of Christian and infdel
powers cannot long continue and we still
confidently look for signal overthrow of that
throne which stands roproach to Europe.
The accession of Mr.. Canning to the En-
glsh ministry, is regarded by some as an event
favourable 10 the progress of freedom in Eu-
rope. He is known to have dife.s from the
ministry, in the affair of the Queen, and on
the Catholick question. 1t is doubtful. how
ever, whether his appointment will be follow
ed BY any material change in British policy.
