How 10 extract meat from the wind
fihe.-Mr. James Ogden, in late Ii
uerpool paper, in noticing an account OF
man losing his life frem piece of me
being accidentally fastened in the ,rachea,
or windpipe, cautions the public agains,
the fashionable folly OF talking and eating
at the same time, and adds g But, after
the beef was so fastened m that situation,
the mans life might have been saved BY
the simplest means. No crooked wires,
or curved instruments whatever, could
be Of any service. The patient either
sitting or standing, an attendant should
have inserted one thumb into one noistrii,
SO as, by that noistril, TO prevent the es-
cape OF wind; and with the pipe of pair
OF bellows introduced into the other nois-
tril and the part SO pressed IS 10 proven,
the escape Of wind by that orlGce; one
short sudden strong puff would have re-
medied the case in an instant.

PROPOSALS
A MAP

OF THE STATES OF ILLINOIS AND MISSOURI, AND
THE TERRITORY OF ARKANSAS.
yHyHE tide of emigration that has of late
Il years rolled TO these countries, gives to
them all importance, not only to the people
OF the United States, but OF Europe, which, it
is believed, renders it desirable that graz
phica description should be made, which viii
convey correct knowledge OF their local ad.
vantages living at a distance have
hitherto had no adequate means of obtaining
precise or definite information respecting
them. The time has arrived when their great
natural resources are rapidly developing, and
when it is preceived, they are marked out by
nature as places where capital and industry
may be employed, with certainty of success.
In point of climate they are not inferior, and
in point Of mineral wealth and fertility soil,
they are scarcely equaled in any other section
of the union or OF the globe. Under these
impressions, the publisher solicited and OBJ
tanned the consent of the Surveyor General.
to have access TO all papers in his office, which
might be requisite i'll the execution of the pre-
sent design.
The map will be made from actual survey,
the distances represented by scale of eight
or ten miles to the inch. The extent ct coun-
try proposed to be described extends six
hundred miles from north TO south, by four
hundred from east to west. The countless
towns, villages, lead mines, salt springs, state
roads, boundaries Of the states and the lati-
tude and longitude will be correctly define
a,ed. The heads of navigation of those streams
within the country that have been surveyed.
will be designated by a reference to the mar
gin of the map. The large confirmed Spa
nish claims viii also be represented.
The map will be commenced Immediately
and should the publisher be so fortunate as 10
meet with liberal subscription, he will, as
soon AS practicable have it completed
The subscription for each map will be TEN
DOLLARS, with rollers and colored.

While DESPAIR recii0es upon thee.
When my body shall have found thee,

Then my soai that lives beyond thee,

TO keep them to take, in all cases of Colds,
