! is dark brown, or snuff color. The
fleece is supposed to weigh about t,ren.
tn. fve pounds, is uncommonly close
and compact, and reaches nearly to the
ground. The body appears to be ro-
bust and of great strength, in prime
condition and sound health. The size
is greater than any of the largest Sheep
Of our country. The head is beauti
ful, the eyes piercing aud quick in mo-
ton, no fleece beyond the ears; the
head appears to project out from the
fleece, having the appearance Of the
dark brown short fur on the deers
| head. The horns are handsomely
seated on the head and of the middle
size. 1t is regretted that this extraor-
binary and valuable animal is taken out
of this state to New-Jersey.

Mr.. H. Berry's Patent Lamp.-.Among
the wonders of this age of invention,
we cannot help noticing this very ele-
giant and useful machine, for producing
Immediate and permanent light The
principle of this philosophical instru-
ment has considerable novelty, not only
| in its combination, which is we'll ar
ranged, but in the mode of securing
sulphuric acid from the moisture of the
atmosphere, and preventing the escape
or evaporation of alcohol, which is a
most valuable discovery in this ma
chine, and which is alike applicable to
variety of other chemical purposes.
The specification describes the appara-
tus as contained in small metal box,
sufficiently portable TO be carried in the
pocket, and which is adapted to any
apartment where ready light is wanted.
But for the bed room and chamber of
the invalid, it is particularly desirable
for this purpose silken cord is at
tached to it, which may be carried a.
cross the room to any distance, when a
person sitting in chair, or lying in
bed, by slightly pulling the string, will
immediately set light to the lamp,
which is either charged with spirits
of wine or oil, and which will burn for
several hours. The utility Of this in
vention struck us much-how conve-
nient to have light in the middle OF
the night upon any alarm, or for letter
sealing in the absence of fires, without
the trouble of ringing for candle; in
short, for travellers in general, for pub
lie offices, and private families, we re-
commend MIR. BIS lamp as an article Of
great conveniency.
Cherokee Boundary in .4rkansas.-Mr.
Allen Martin, who was appointed to
run the boundaries of the Cherokee
Nation, has completed that service.
The boundaries Of the nation, as now
established, are as follows: Beginning
on the Arkansas, at the mouth Of Point
Remove Greek, and running up the for
mer $50 miles Goo on straight line)
To point II miles above Skin Bayou,
or about IL miles above Fort Smith /;
thence a course bearing N. SIS degrees
Z. Is "a, 10 miles to White River, at a
point miles above the Little North
Fork; thence, down White River, lS4
miles (75 on straight line ITO Hardin's
Bluff, about miles above the town Of
Batisville and thence, III miles on
Rector's Line, (which runs parallel with
the Western boundary to the place OF
beginning on the Arkansas.
The survey made by capt. Shattuck,
about year since, gave the Cherokees
s,2s5Tlo acres of land; Mr.. Martins
survey gives them an additional guam
tity of 97s,SS6 acres-making the total
quantity included within their present
boundaries 4 1864, 1916 acres.
The survey made by capt. Shattuek
gave the Chcrokees front on the Ar
kansas Of only So miles by the mean
| ders of the river; by Mr.. Martins sur
vey, their front on the Arkansas is in
creased IA miles. The former survey
| gave them front on White River of
sos miles, and the latter reduces it to
lS4 miles. The first survey established
a due North and South line as the Wes-
tern boundary; and the last, establishes
a line running n. SIS degrees E. (being
parallel with the Eastern boundary as
the Western boundary, which gives the
present territory Of the Cherokees di-
agonal shape.
I Their boundaries, as now established,
include large extent Of some of the
finest of the Arkansas bottoms, and a
very considerable portion of the most
valuable part Of Lovely's Purchase.
