ADVANTAGE OF CANALS. A quantity of cher
ry plank and joist was landed in this iown on
the 18th inst. from the Canal Boat, Providence.
which grew in Michigan or Ohio, at the head
OF Lake Erie; from whence il was shippt,d down
the lake to Buffalo, thence by the Erie Canal
to Albany, from that place TO Providence by
sloop navigation, and from Providence to this
place by the Blackstone Canal, dsta nee. in
the whole, of at least nine hundred miles. four
hundred miles of which is an artificial 1,ariga.
:aOn. 1t is thus that articles are made valuable
In one section of the country, where otherwise
there would be no market for them. and another
section is supplied, at fair rate, with that
which 1t must otherwise do without, or buy at
an exorbitant price.
Twenty years ago, any man who should pre-
dict that the interior and central parts of Mas
sachusetts would now be supplied with lumber
from the forests Of Michigan, would have been
set down as visionary enthusiast. Yet such
glowing antiripations. if, indeed, any one enter.
tanned them, have been fully realized. Such
are the effects of the spirit of enterprise which
the operation of free institutions infIses into a
people.

WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10, 1928.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The favorable as
pect which the election returns exhibited, for
time, have proved altogether decisive Since
our last, further details have been received from
New York, by which it appears that eighteen
of the electors, chosen by the people in that
State, will be for jackson, and sixteen, only.
for Adams so that, when the two electors are
chosen by the board, the vote of the State will
be twenty for Jackson, and sixteen for Adams
In Maryland, one double district, which was
supposed to he for Adams, has, it is said, chosen
the jackson electors, by majority of t,oO votes,
so that the vote of that State viii be six for
Adams and FIVE for Jackson. From present ap-
pearances, the vote of Ohio has gone for Jack
son; and, though but few returns have been re-
ceved from Kentucky and Indiana, and those
not very decisive, yet we have but little doubt
that they, too, have followed the exaaae4e Of
Ohio, and that, in all the Western States, Ad.
ans will receive the vote of Louisiana, alone.
The military fever RACES like destroying pes
tience, and nothing, yet, has been able to check
its progress. In what il will end, time only can
determine; we fear in nothing short of the sub
version of our liberties, or the destruction of
the Union of the States.
If our present anticipations are correct. the
votes, which will be given to Adams, will be as
,followa.

PROVIDENCE, Nov. Z.
The old meeting house in Sutton was
burnt down on Monday evening last. We
understand the old meeting house in Ware
ham, Mass made more extraordinary
exit, not long since, though it has not yet
been caught by any of the accident makers.
The inhabitants of that Industrious and
thriving town, went quietly to he'd one
night, with the meeting house standing, as
usual. In the morning, they rubbed their
eyes and 10, it was gone nothing but the
fragments lay scattered over the common.
At is limited that there was a strong relig-
Ious dispute in the congregation, and that
one party had thought proper to remove
the cause of the difficulty by pulling the
house down.-Prouidenc american.
The first Steam Engine erected in the
north of England. was at Oxclose, near
Washington, in this county the second at
Norwood, near Ravensworth and the third
lin 1913 or IA, at Byker colliery, in North
cumberland. At present, nearly all the
colliery machinery is put in motion by the
agency of steam. The aggregate amount
OF all the steam engines, ashore and ahoat,
in Durham and Northumberland, exceeds
the strength of 10000 horses. The engine
at the Tyne Main collery is 200 horse pow
er; it works three sets Of pumps, and lifts
from the depth of AZ fathoms, upwards of
1000 gallons of water per minute. About
l5O years ago, the High Main coal seam,
in the county of Northumberland, took fire,
and continued to hurn for thirty years.

From the PHILADELPHIA U. s. Gazette.

JAMES MONROE. 1t is stated in the Vir-
;ginia papers that Mr.. Monroe was recently
thrown from his horse, and much injured.
In giving the fact, we will state one other,
that has not been particularly noticed.
The evils which that gentleman's public
and private friends have for some time fear
ed have befallen him-executions levied
upon his property, have been satisfied, so
far as the amount of the sales of that prop
erty would extend and JAMES MONROE, an
Officer of the Revolution, a Representative
of our Government in Foreign Courts, for
eight years President of the United States,
IS NOW WITHOUT HOME.
We say not, that this government is
bound to see all those who have filed high
and important Offices with fidelity, and pass
ed the presidential chair, made comfortable
In their old age; but it appears from a re-
port made by some of Mr.. Monroe's neigh
bors, that many of that gentleman's claims
upon the general government, remain un-
liquidated. If this is the case, we hope
that not day will be lost by the next SEES
sion of Congress, in making preparations. for
immediate redress.

NEWSPAPERS. The Columbian Centinel at
Boston, has been transferred by Maj Benjamin
Russell, its late proprietor, to Adams & Hudson,
by whom it will in future be published. Major
Russell served his apprenticeship in the Spy
Office, after which he went to Boston, and es-
tablsaed the Centinel, more than forty years
ago. He has ever since been the Editor, and
was, at the time Of his retiring, the senior of the
corps editorial in New England Under his
care the Centinel has acquired reputation al
most unequalled for the general accuracy and
correctness of its news, and for the quantity of
information which has been condensed into its
columns. We hope the new propretors may
meet with equal success, and that their labors
may be as well patronised and rewarded as it is
understood these of Major Russell have been.
Tho Boston Daily .Adoertiser, the oldest daily
paper in New England, has recently been con-
siderably enlarged and Frederic S. Hill, ESQ.,
has been associated as an assistant in the ltera-
~ department, with Nathan Hale, Esq, the ed.
itor and proprietor No paper has exhibited
stronger proof of UNIV carried industry and appli-
cation in its management, than the Advertiser
nor is there any one in which the opinions it in
culcates are more generally correct, or in which
they appear to be formed with more deliberation
and caution. If the patronage it has enjoyed
has been commensurate with its merits, of which
we have no doubt, the editor can make his late
improvements without the hazard of loss or dis
appointment.
The printing establishment ofthe " freedoms
Sentinel" is TO be transferred from Athol. to
Greenfield; to be issued weekly, from the 23d
of December; and to be called "The Franklin
Free Press"
The Ne'0 England Inquirer, a newspaper
published at Amherst, has been discontinued
for want of sufficient patronage to support it.

LEATHER. The amount of the sales of
this indispensable article ofdaily use, in the
city of New York, is said to he, annually,
about million of dollars. The leather is
sold TO the shoe manufacturers in New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia,
Ohio, Canada, &c. About 100000 hides
are imported annually into New York,
chiefly from South America; and over
100000 hides are purchased for the numer-
Gus tannerles in Greene county. There
are almost inexhaustible forests of hemlock
in that county, and the fact has been estab-
lished by repeated experiments, that hem
lock bark contains greater weight of
tannin than oak bark. There is prejudice
in favor of the color of leather tanned by
oak bark, but it is we'll ascertaine.I that
the durability of both kinds of leather is the
same.

SPIRIT OF THE TIMES.


 The account given on our first page of the attack made by Mr. SkiIlman upon Mir. Conant, is in exact accordance with the spirit of the times. "Bood and carnage" appears to be the order of the day with ma ny othe Heroites, and every thing must be carried by bullying. Their chiefain has ever been celebrated for avo:atinn of all civil law, and his humble follow CTS take pride in initiating his example, Duff Greens furious attack upon Mr. SEarhawk, Russcl Jarvis rutiian assanlt upon Mir. Secretary Adams, together with sunday other similar violations of the peace hay ing been highly approved by the Jackson party, this Mir. SklIman who floats in tie same troubled waters, undertook to render his name conspicuous by like act of bravadosm. But this fighting is game which two can play at and olthis SkiIman appears 10 have been aware, in his attempt to decoy Mir. Conant into the vicinity of grog-shop, where Jackson could be found in abundance. The result s what it should have been-the dastardly as'aiIant has got bloody head and dsgraceful reputation for this repeated attempt at supporting the cause, the vhote cause, and nothing but the cause.
