mentions the following remarkable instance OF yam
kee enterprise.
Return from Sealing Toyoge.-Schooner Sarah
Atkins, Kenny, OF Portsmouth, sc days from the
Falkland Islands, arrived at StonngtoD on Thurs
day last, having been absent II months IL OF which
she was at the islands. Some solcitude was ielt
for The Sarah Atkins she is a small boat OF Al
tons, was manned with hands, originally bound
into the Pacific three years voyage. Having
touched at Bonavsta for SALT she proceeded to the
Falkland islands, whence she had been heard from
twice. and Captain Kenny meeting with good sue
cess, deemed it unnecessary to proceed to the Shet-
lands the winter also approaching, he considered
it expedien for the safety Of the vessel, which had
been once ashore and the cargo to return She has
on board nearly 1000 fur skins, besides other skins
and oil. Captain Kenny found one man, the lord
of the SOIL at the Fakands, from whom he receiv-
ed necessary assistance. The crew always slept
on board, and have enjoyed the best health. The
first attempt at the South Sea seal fishery having
been successful one, we hope our merchants will
| continue ii to an extensive and profitable trade.
I A Tunaour-Doctor W. F. Cooper, of sempron-
us N. Y. has lately taken from the back of Joshua
IVanaukin, of that town, a tumour, measuring in
:, circumference thrrv-nine inches, and weighing
nineteen pounds and four ounces. The operation
, was performed in three and half minutes. This
protuberance was situated between the hip and
shoulder blade, bordering on the right side-it was
first discovered twenty-seven years ago, then very
smal since which time it has been constantly ncreas.
ing at first very gradually, but lately with great ra
pidity, increasing one halt in four years. 1t said
the wound is now doing we'll, and the patient is in
fla fair way to recover. Rochester .7fGuna.
Cure for Wens-The following extraordinary
fact has lately come to our knowledge A planter
lin the vicinity of Raleigh IN. c.. had been for some
years afflicted with a wen on his neck which grew
so large as to be very nconvcnlent and distressing
After trying number of remedies, he was advised
Iby one of his neighbours to wash it two three
times day with strong salt water (water in which
sat had been dissoved) He did so, and to his great
lreef and comfort, the wen gradually decreased IN
size, and finally disappeared ! Let those who are
similarly afflicted, Ego and do likewise"

We have received the 1,ceJM Report Of The Direc-
tors of the american .4syluo, at Hartford for the Ed
Iucation of the Deaf and Dumb. Some important de-
tails respecting the history and faculty of this spe-
cies of instruction, are included in 1T and 6 the
specimens of uncorrected original compositions
which are annexed, have usual racy and edfyng
character. 1t appears that nnety-nine pupils were
supported last year at the Hartford Asylum either
wholly, or In part, by the States OF Massachusetts,.
New Hampshire, and Vermont. The Directors ex
pres their conviction that it is exceedingly diff
cult, if not quite impracticable. to derive, even
from the best written treaties on the subject such
knowledge of the countless variety of signs, and
gestures and attitudes of the body and expressions
lof the countenance as would enable one to become
a successful teacher of the Deaf and Dumb" They
consider sa resort to the living instructor as quite
Indispensable" and an inspection. for some con-
siderable length of time, of the modes and process
SEES of instruction in some established and we'll or
yanzed school, as of great benefit for all who would
teach or administer in such Institutions.
