to the goodness of their feeccs, than the
growers OF wool in this State have done.
lew gentlemen, however, 10 this State, are an
honorable exception to the above remark, and
deserve well Of their country for the trouble
and expense they have been at, in improving
their own and their neighbours focks, by
procuring the best Sheep from Spain and Sax
ony.
Wool has become to us an article of primary
Importance. Large quantities of it are i'm
ported, Notwithstanding the heavy duties paid
upon it. Many tons of il are brought annual
ly into this county, which, together with large
quantities from the States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Connecti-
cut and Rhode-Island, is here manufactured
INTO cloths, from the coarse to the most super
hne fabrics. 1t may be asked, what is the
reason fhat Massachusetts, does not grow wool
to supply her manufactures, and not he be-
holden to Europe and her sister States for it
ms rs question, perhaps, not unworthy the
consideration of our Legislators. The state of
our woollen manufactures has arrived to such
perfection, as to rival the European, other
wise wool would not be imported. American
cloths, for mems wear, will we'll compare
with the English; and Of equal goodness can be
purchased cheaper than the imported cloths
and, should the woollen manufactures in the
United States continue 10 increase as fast as
they have done for short time past, the time
IS not far distant, when clio his for the whole
consumption of our country may be supplied
from our own manufactures. And would il
not be derogatory to the nation, to import the
raw material to do it with, when il can be so
easily grown in our own country.
As the growing of wool is source of wealth
to the adjoining States, let us profit by their
example, increase the number of our Sheep,
and the fineness of their feeces, and in this
way prevent the necessity of importing wool,
and thereby benefit ourselves and our coun-
try.

he Greeks have taken several European,

Turks. The Turkish ships which are in the
Gull OF Lepanto dare not stir out, fearing to,
be attacked by the Greek privateers. Misso-
longhi is entirely free on the side of the sea,
but the blockade on the land side is not as
yet raised. Several combats have taken
place, which terminated in favour of the
Cross. Numerous corps of Guerillas threaten
the rear OF the army of Redschid Pacha, and
'hey have taken several conveys of arms and
ammunition. 1t is reported that a. seriou.

attempt was made by Canaris to burn the

IN the middle of the harbour, and on the wind
ward of 100 European merchantmen and
French brig The crew got into their long
boat and fled, leaving the pilot on board the
hre-ship, which burst into flames, but, fortu-
nately, did not explode, perhaps for want Of
sufficient combustbles: passing through the
forests of masts it ran aground. The other two
tire-ships seeing this, took flight a couple of
balls which the French brig fred at the long
boat OF the fret, reached, but did not iniure
it. If this attempt had succeeded, not a ship,
would have escaped.

Report on Sheep.


The Committee for Sheep exhibited for
premium have attended to the services as
signed to them, and Report
That the number Of Sheep exhibited, was
about the same as at our former Shows but
in general they were not as good as the Com
mittee could have desired, or as the County
of Worcester could have exhibited. Some of
them, however, were good Sheep, and their
wool fine according to their several gradations,
from the full blood MeFino to our native stock.
Several Merino Rams exhibited, were very
good. The one owned by Mr.. James Smith,
of Rutland, the Committee considered the
best, and they award to him the first premium
Of seven dollars; and the premium of FIVE
dollars to Mr.. William Williams, of Shrews-
bury, for the next best. For the four best
Merino Ewes, we award the premium of eight
dollars to Mr.. William Williams, of Shrews-
bury. The other Merinos were not worthy of
a premium.-RejOice NelOton, ESQ. of Wor-
cester, exhibited the best lot of mixed Merino
Sheep, which were very fine, and for which
we award him the premium of FIVE dollars
One native Ram only, was exhibited, and
that not of sufficient goodness for premium.

also exhibited for inspection, one Buck and
two Ewes, imported from England, of the

POETRY.
ODE TO THE SUN.

The following beautiful ode, written in imi-
tation of Ossian's celebrated spostrophe to the
Sun, is from small volume entitled, "Remi.
licences, Moral Poems and foundations, by j.
Fellows" just published at Exeter, N. H. The
poetry is exquisitely fine.
THOU whose rejoicing eye of light,
Looked forth at Gods inspiring call,
When order lay in boundless night.
And darkness wanton'd over all;
Whence thy perpetual youth, o Sun!
Since life, and light, and time begun
Exulting on thy course sublime,
How bright thy yellow tresses glare,
As still they wave unhurt by time,
High o'erthe azure depths Of air;
rs still thy wings unwearied go,
While earth and ocean laugh below.
When first thy ruddy pinions lave
The skies, careering round the day;
The moon sinks down the western wave,
Retreating from the fiery ray;
The stars are blench'd; the ghost Of night
Flies sullen from thy blasting light.
Unchanged art thou; when darkness shrouds
When angry nature weeps around,
Far, far above the ebon clouds
Thy splendours sweep the blue profound;
Where still mistaken wheel the spheres
Beyond the reach departing years.
The mountain oak, with age shall fall,
The everlasting hills decay,
But thou shalt hear the morning call, :
Till heaven and earth shall pass away;
Thy youth, thy strength, shall last o Sun !
Till life, and light, and time are done.

BURIAL BEFORE DEATH.

BURIAL BEFORE DEATH.
Translated from the Spanish.-In the
year l742, two cases ofprematurc buri-
al occurred the one happened in the CT
ty of Florence, and the other in Oviedo.
The FIRST case was that of a man who
was inferred in the vault Of church be-
longing to nunnerY. In the course Of
the night, the body having been buried
the same morning, several of the nuns
heard voice crying, as if in deep dis
tress, from the chancel but they being
seized with fear flew from the spot,
supposing it was owing to some super.
natural influence, and left the poor
wretch to perish. The following morn
ing some persons who possessed more
courage than the nuns, having heard Of
the shrieks, went and broke open the
tomb, in which they found the man in.
deed dead but it was quite evident that
he had accelerated his death after being
inferred, for his hands were greatly la
cerated and swollen, and his head was
much bruised by his endeavors to lib
crate himself. The second case was
not very dissimilar In Oviedo,a boy
having fallen from high building, was
supposed TO have been killed by the fall
and was accordingly buried. On the
day subsequent to his interment, the
grave was opened in consequence Of
some noise being accidentally heard by
person. who was passing, and it was
| manifest, from the appearance his body
presented that he had died after he had
been put into the ground. What rem
dered the friends Of the body more in
excusable in thus fastening his burial
was, that his countenance had not un-
dergone any alteration but he looked
as blooming and healthy as he did be-
| fore the accident.
An ingenious mechanic has invented a
Railway, and Carriage adapted to it,
which bids fair to be of great public
utility. 1t is now arranged for the use
of manual power, but either animal pow
er or steam can be applied to il. A sim
gle Rail is employed, and there is so
! little friction that So lbs. have been
drawn on it with hair. 1t is contem-
plated that it could be made to convey
carriages with very large burthens.
We hope to have the pleasure OF soon
seeing it established on some OF our
turnpikes or other roads-Boston Pat.
