 and narrow pieces of plank, and this
 band passes round two cylinders or
 drums, about two feet apart. the axle.

 higher than the other. The band is supported by small wheels, which run on q railway placed under each edge. The harness of the horse is attached to an immovable post, placed near the low CT cylinder. When made .c draw, tho band moves backward under him; the moving of the band causes the cylinders to revolye. and gear being attached to the axle of one oi them, motion is thus communicated to slie machinery. It can be used 10 move machinery con- structed for almost any purpose, but
 Will probably be most used 10 propel

 Presidents of the D. S.-There have been, including the present, seven Pres idents. The names of four of them, ended in the letters ON. The names of three of them ended in the letters SON, but neither of these three had n sca.-- All of these were married; but three of them were childlcss. The son of the only one, that had son, was one of the seven. Four of iie seven are deads and three of them died on the Fourth of July !--- Bos. D. .Adp.
 Phosphate of Q,tinine. e.---Doct. Hairless of Boun has found that the phospate of quinine is not only more agreeable to the palate than the sulphatc, but that the alkah thus feutraiized by an animal acid hecorlcs more rcadiiy uigesfed, and is more quickly taken into the sys- tenn. Experience has also shown him that the phosphate agrees better with irritable stomachs than the sulphate, nitrate, or acetate. The dose is from one 10 four grains.

Grotittdc an c SfdUe.--A lady residing
 at the Maurltius, many years ago, eman-
 cipated a slave whose good conduct and
 fidelity she wished to reward. Being
 in affluent circumstances, she gave him with his freedom sum of money which enabled him to establish himself in busi-
 ness; and being very industrious and
 thrifty, he soon became rich enough to purchase small estate in the country,
 whither he retired with his family Years passed away, and whilst he was
 rapidly accommodating money, his former
 mistress was sinking into poverty; mis-
 fortune had oyertaken her, and she
 found herself in old age, poor, solitary,
 neglected, and in want of the common
 comforts of life. This man heard of
 her unhappy condition, and immediate Iy came to the town and sought her out in her humble abode; with the utmost
 respect he expressed his concern al find ing his honored lady in so reduced a state, and implored her to come to his estate, and allow him the qualification of providing for her future comfort. The lady was much affected at the feeling evnccd by her old servant; but declined his offer. He could not, however, be prevailed on to relinquish his design: "My good mistress" said he, ssoblige
 me by accepting my services; when you 1 were rich you were kind 10 me; you gave me freedom and money, with which,
 through Gods blessing, ] have been en- abled to make myself comfortable :n life; ]: !!e
 and now l only do my duty in asking
 you to share my property when you are in need.n Hisurgenten length l prevailed, and the lady was conveyed,
 in his pslanquin, to the romfortablea nd
 well furnished apartments assigned to her by his grateful care; his wife and daughters received her with the utmost
 respect, and always showed, by Their
 conduct, ,thatthey considered themselves
 her servants. Deserted by those who had professed themselves her friends
 whilst she was irl afiluencc. this good la
 dy passed the remainder of her days in comfort and ease, amid those who had once been her dependants.--Recoltectio, I of Sevess Years Residence d Nauritius.

 1he hdiaa DigGcuttles .seitled.-The I"Vincennes Qnd.) Gazette of the 9th of July. contains the following impor- tant information, which we hope will turn out to be true:--
 .sA passenger in the Western stage gives information, that treaty iad been made with the hostile Indians at Rock Island. No action had taken place they had abandoned their encampment and crossed the river. My informant says he descended the Mississippi with General Gaincs and four companies of
 regular troops. The militia of Illinois were on their way home."
 Interesting Seene.-A few days since, a young tradesman, a native of Ireland,
 but long resident of this city, in .,ass- ing along a wharf at which ship from one of the ports in Ireland was about
 to be made fast, stopped, as is usual with persons from foreign country, to observe whether any face which had been familiar to their eye i'll earlier years, might not present itself. In the
 hustle of attempting to get quickly or shore, one of the passengers fell into the dock and instantly sunk under the yes sel--witheut a moments hesitation the
 young man before alluded, who had re-
 mained to gratiiy his curiosity, plunged into the deep after the drowning man,
 t1 with considerable difficulty sacceed-
 ed in bringing nim safe on land. The deliveref very naturally felt anxious to
 see his prize restored to perfect life and
 with this view remained to tender his
 assistance, without going away to
 change or even dry his sapparel. A few 1 moments after some simple remedies 1 had been applied, the rescued man slowly opened his eyes and murmured
 '.God bless you, God bless you-it would be too soon to die far, far away from hoIT,e.' 'ii'fhe voice, and the ava ken:ng oountenance of the newly arrvi- ed young man, filled the other with an intensity of eagerness, visible to all around-he asked the place of birth,
 and name of his patient; both questions were soon answered satisfactorlyenough to prove that the rescued, and the res euer nere brothers, It is needless to
 attempt to relate the sequel,-- an iE,-
 stant they were interlocked in a close
 embrace, and thousand questions and
 congratulations were made OH each side, before one could he answered.- Finally the brothers retired am dst the I IejaculatioDs and the wonder Of a wha

even gaEop through them, it must be ad-
 mitted by every candid, truth-teiling man
 in the Territory, that Sevier had an ad-
 vantage over Desha. of at least Iaoe votes. Under all these circumstances, although
 Seyier is elected by majority of three to
 four hundred votes, is lie not badly beatens
 Do not his party feel that they are badly beaten? Are they not conscious that their season of oppression and misrule IS fast closing, and that the batoon Of pow CT viii ere icng be wrested from their polluted hands? They are-and hence 1t is that they attempt to practise one more decep- tion on the public, by their bulletin of s.GIorious News" and splendid r5ciory.- But the people cannot be longer duped by misrepresenta will and do see that the Boroughmonger system of Eng land, which has been pursued here success fully by few men, is as it is in England, in it's death struggle, and that political fraud and tyranny will be immoiated at the shrine ofvirtue and patriotism.
