"A AGRICULTURAL.

MULES. "A late number Of the
American Farmer contains an elaborate
essay on the relative merits of mules
and horses, in employing them for the
purposes of draught and drudgery on a
farm. The writer awards grea, advan-
tages to the mules. for the following
reasons
First. A good mule will do as much
work on a farm as horse, while he
retains his strength. But mule will
last, on the average, ti0ice as long as a
horse.
The horse liable as he is to disease
is rarely fit for effective service after he
has heen employed twelve years; while
a mule will, as frequently wear for TWEEN.
ty-four.
Secondly. There is great differ
ence between the quality 81 quantity o
f,od required, by both animals. The
horse must be more OF less supplied
with grain during the whole year, or he
will be unfit for hard labor; while the
mule can suhsist in summer on gras.
alone; and in winter when not worked
can teeG on hay without losing hi:
health aid strength. From four tc
eight ears Of Indian corn at each mea
are sufficient for II mule when regular
Iy worked; while horse will eat neari,
double that quantity.
Thirdly. A mule need not he shot
ottener than once year, during tie
season of ice; while the horse require:
shoelng four times; making a saving o
the farrler' bill alone of So ,G3a year
iol each animal"
He observes further, that from aetna
experiment, the total expense of feeding
and snoeing horse annually, is iouno
to be forty tour dollars, whereas mule
will cost but twen,v-two.

/ HUMAN CoMBUsTIoN.-We extract the
following singular case of spontaneous
combustion form the .Ay'chires Gen. de-
.uedicine:-A gentleman of a robust
healthy constitution, and temperate hab-
Its, "a years of age, extinguished with
his hands the burning clothes of his broth
er, who had accidentally set fire to them
with sulphur, and was Immediately at
tackled with acute pains in both hands,
A woman who came to his succour OBJ
served that both hands were surrounded
by blue flame. This at first was sup
sosed to be occasioned by the sulphur
adhering to them, and an attempt was
made to extinguish the flame with cold
water, but without effect. The gentle-
man ran down stairs to a cutters shop,
and plunged his hands into a quantity Of
mud; from this he derived very little re-
lief After suffering i'll this manner
much torture for half an hour, he ran to
the house of Dr. II. de Brass, by whom
the case is related. On the way, both
himself and the woman who accompanied
him observed distinctly the blue fame
surrounding the hands. The physician
met him at the door, and observed tho
hands to be red, swelled, and exhaling
kind of smoke or vapour. lie directed
his patient to plunge his hands into well
and to keep them there until he expert
enced relief; OH his doing so the pain a
bated and the flame ceased, but he had
not gone more than $50 PAGES homeward
when it reappeared. On reaching his
dwelling he Immediately immersed his
hands in bucket of water, which, as it
got rapidly heated, he had repeatedly re-
newed. AS often as he took them out Of
the water, he remarked a sort Of unc-
tious matter flow along his fingers, and
the blue flame reappeared. The latter
was not, however, visible, except in
situation where the light Of the candle
was shaded. A gentleman who remain
ed in the room with him saw the blue
flame several times in the course Of the
night; towards daybreak only sparks
were visible. During day the pain was
severe, and large vesications, filled with
reddish scum, had formed on the fin
gers; indeed the cuticle was entirely re-
moved and the CUTS greyish and corrod-
cd. The vesications being opened, ce-
rate was applied to the denuded surfa-
ces, and the whole covered with poul-
tees. The inflammation which followed
was moderate, the suppuration healthy,
and in six weeks the ulcers caused by
the burning were healed; but the cicatri-
ccs were distinct, and several Of the
nails dropped oh.-N Y. E. Post.

PROPOSALS by MARY BARNEY,

DROPOSALS by MARY BARNEY,
IL for publishing on the first Day OF
November next, and on the beginning
of every month thereafter, in the city OF
Baltimore, a new periodical work to be
entitled the NATIONAL MAGA-
ZINE; or LADIES EMPORIUM.
The intended work will be generally
literary, and occasionally political The
literary department shall be conducted
in manner not inferior to that of the
best periodicals in the country-in the
several departments of prose and verse,
and their subdivisions into narrative;
sentimental and didactic compositions,
original or selected. Nor, although its
general head be literature, shall the lu-
cubrations of science, in any of its bran
ches, be neglected, when they shall be
offered for publication in the "National
Magazine.
In the struggle which is now going on
between civil liberty and wild anarchy,
under the garb Of democracy, she will
sometimes raise her feeble voice; not as
disputant in the arena ef party, but as
an advocate for certain great principles
which it may become her sex and condi-
ton to feel lively and deep interest in
maintaining, these times Of miscallcd
reformation" As victim of "pro-
scription," she has suffered too much,
and knows too much, TO permit her en-
tire silence. Upon that subject she
cannot avoid speaking feelingly-she
will try, however, to speak discreetly.
If there are any who would still frown
upon this last struggle of a mother for
her family, they are at liberty to with
hold their support-A Daughter of the
Revolution, and the grandchildren of
Revolutionary Heroes, will perish ere
they beg in the land where they should
live in honour.
This work will be comprised in eighty
octave pages, on fine paper, in new type,
handsomely stitched, and coloured COW
ers-making two handsome volumes a
year.
TERMs.-The annual subscri ption will
be Five Dollars payable in advance, or
on delivery of the second number, at the
pleasure of individuals.
All subscriptions remaining unpaid at
the end of the year to be discontinued
For a single number IS cents.
Much attention will be paid to for
warding the numbers, and with the least
cost to suescrbers--it being intended to
establish agencies in all the principal CT
ties and towns, by whom the work will
be carefully delivered. To other places,
or when the number of subscribers may
not be sufficient to establish an agency,
they will be forwarded by mail; unless
otherwise directed. Subscribers arc re-
spcctfully requested distinctly to pre-
scribe the places, or persons, to whom
the work shall be sent for their use.

PocAuoNr,s.-A dramatic production
by George w. p. Custis Esq. has lately
been published at Philadelphia, with the
title of "Pocahontas, or the Settlers OF
Virginia, a National Drama. -
at is an attempt on the part OF the
patriotic author, to inculcate a regard,
bv the American community, of the his
torical events Of their own country, the
early settlements of which are very fer
tile in persons and scenes suited to the
geniuses of poets, novelists or dramatists.
OF the present production, it is strong
proof Of merit, that it has been received
with great favor in our sistercity, Phlla-
delphia, where it was performed twelve
nights in one season, preserving 10 lho
last its high popularity"
A Shoe maker who did not choose TO
tell absolute falsehoods, contrved as well
"a he could to evadc such as his pro-
fession occasionally compelled him to
use. When he had cut out the leather
for n pair of shoes, he laid it down upon
the floor and walked once or twice q.
round it, If then asked by his custom

would truly answer, ono, but l haps
