ROTARY SAW.

We understand that Mr. Adams
Stewart, of Boston, has completed the
invention of a rotary saw, for which he
has obtained a grant from the British
government, being a British subject,
and a patent from our government
This saw, it is believed by competent
Judges who have seen it in operation,
is a very important invention.
1t is called a Compound Rotary Saw,
and cuts boards or timber Of any thick
ness, width, or length, in a straight
line, leaving the surface of the boards
or timber uncommorly smooth. With
one fourth the water required to move
a common saw mill, it is said that
Mr.. Stewards saw will cut three or
four times more lumber than any saw
now in use 1t will cut through the
middle Of the largest log with the same
facility that it takes off a slab, thus OBJ
Waiting a very material defect in a ro-
tary saw previously invented by MIR.
Stewart, which vas necessarily thicker
near the axis than at the outer edge -
We have "a specimen OF the work done
by this saw, one fourth Of an inch thick,
cut with remarkable exactness, and We
nv smooth If this saw is as useful as
it has been represented, it will soon be
in use in this " timber country"

eight men engaged in their construc-
ton, were injured; two or three OF
them 20 severely that it vas found me-
ccssary to carry them TO the Hospital.
The walls Of these buildings were just

AFRICAN SHEEP.

Thirteen sheep Of the broad tail, or

to New-York by Capt CREIGHTON, OF
the U. S. ship Cyane, who obtained
them at considerable expense and no
little trouble from the interior Of Afri-
ca, for the purpose, as stated by the
New-York Post, of introducing here, a
species which is said to be highly val
liable, not only for the wool, but the
flesh, The tailhas a very singular APP
pearance, being in some Instances from
eight to ten inches in breadth, forming
when 1t is cooked, a most delicious
and delicate food. A pair of these
sheep, it is understood, are intended for

We have been favored with the perusal of
a letter from Mr.. Disbrow's Agent at Harper's
Ferry. The writer informs Mr.. D.. that he
has reached the depth of 148 feet, and that
the water has risen within twenty feet Of the
surface. He expresses great confidence in
finding the next vein adequate to the object;
and SAYS that the rock is the hardest that he
ever encountered-from two to four inches
being a days work. A similar experiment is
going on in Baltimore, where from the last &C
count, the workmen had gone down about 90
feet. Mr.. d. is sill actively engaged here
and goes on finely.

INCEssANT

Last summer a turkey cock, the pro-
perry of Mr.. Thomas Band, of Pentlow,
in this county, "took 10 sitting" and
actually hatched no less than SO head
of poultry, namely: Early in the spring,
he hatched five goslings; then he took
a ducks nest, and Matched II duck
lings; next ascending a skep which
hung over his head, and driving away
a hen which had set therein a week, he
Matched a fine brood of Is chickens:
again betaking himself to a nest where
in eggs were laid daily, and sitting
closely for three weeks, he Matched, one
and two in a day as the eggs had been
laid, 20 more: and last of all, fixing
himself upon a ducks nest, he hatched
9 more ducks. Thus ended the sum
mer labors Of this extraordinary tur-
key cock, who is now strutting about
the farm yard; among his numerous
tribes, with the authority which his
unwearied and patient perseverance to
bring them forth, entities him to exer-
else. Chelmsford Chronicle.
