An article has been for some time "going the
rounds" in the newspapers, stating tha, there are
in the United States $500 whale ships &c. The
last Nantucket Inquirer conects the mistake, and
says--"The grand bunder in all this topsy-turvy
algebra, lies probably in the very first figure used
nn having been substituted for 8. Gentlemen
who deal in matter-of fact statistics, should avoid
speaking fgwatireiy.

WHERE is MY TRUNK

1t is well known in Scotland that the
road from Edinburg, to Dundee, though
only forty-three miles in extent, is rem
dered too tedious and troublesome by
the interposition of two arms of the
sea, namely, the Firths of Forth and
Tay, one of which is seven, and the
other, three miles across. Several ra-
pid and well conducted stage coaches
travel upon this road; but, from their
frequent loading and unloading at the
ferries, there is not only considerable
delay to the travellers but also rather
more than the usual risk of damage
and loss to their luggage. On one
occasion it happened that the common
chances against the safety of a travel
ler's integuments were multiplied in a
mysterious, but most amusing man.
ner-as the following little narrative
will show
The gentleman in question was an
inside passengers very tall man,
which was so much the worse for him
in that situation, and it appeared that
his whole baggage consisted Of a single
black trunk-one Of medium size, and
no ways remarkable in appearance.
On our leaving Edinbufg, this trunk
had been disposed in the boot of the
coach, amidst great variety Of other
trunks, bundles, and carpet-bags, be-
longing to the rest of the passengers.
Having arrived at New Haven, the
luggage was brought forth from the
! coach, and disposed upon barrow, in
Martinsburg gazette. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1833-1855, 1833-11-14

rushed into his mind, the trunk was
on the top. Has nobody seen il living
about any wherel"
eff it be trunk ye're looking a 4.
ter" cried rustic, very cody. 81
saw IT sink into that weel-ect Of q
quarter of an hour syne."
"Oh! exclaimed the distracted own
or, "my trunk is gone for ever. Oh!
my poor dear trunk,---where is tho
place. show me where it disappeared"
The place being pointed out, he
rushed madly up to it, and seemed as
II ne would have plunged into the wa.
terry profound TO search for his los, pro.
perty, or die in the attempt. Being
informed that the boys in this part Of
the country were perfectly bottomless.
he soon saw how vain every endeayor
of that kind would be; and so he was
with difficulty induced to resume his
place in the coach, loudly threatening,
however, to make the proprietors of
the vehicle pay swectly for his loss.
"What was in the trunk, ! have not
been able to learn. Perhaps the title
deeds of an estate were among the con.
tents: perhaps it was only filled with
bricks and rags, in order TO impose up
on the inn.keepers. In all likelihood,
the mysterious object is still descending
and descending, like the angels hatchet
in Rabbinicai story, down the ground
less abyss; in which case its contents
will not probably be revealed till a
great many things fmorc Importance
and equal mystery are made plain"
mot innoccnt--a phrase applied by the COM
mon people in Scotland TO any thing which they
suppose invested with supernatural powers Of
noxious kind.

Figs in Nep England. Nam
tucket Inquirer says there is in one Of
the gardens of that Island, flourish
ing Fig tree, the fruit Of which has
come to maturity. The Hartford
Times mentions another in that city, as
heavily burthcned with fruit, some of
which has grown ripe and proves very
good. II would be rather singular IL
at this late day New England should
become the home Of this ine Fruit
This may not seem altogether impro-
bable when we consider that it flourish
es not only in Spain, which lies in tho
same latitude with our Middle States,
but in France, which hes all North of
the latitude Of Boston. II is not native
here, we grant; but that is true also Of
many other valuable trees and plants
which have been acclimatcd here and
elsewhere. In England scarce any
thing is native but the oak. The vino
itself was brought into France from
the East by the Romans; and SO was
the cherry tree. The olive, which now
fiourishes SO universally, came from
the neighborhood of Mount Taurus;
and the Chinese for long time kept
to themselves almost exclusively tho
orange, the lemon, and the white null
berry. The peach, which grows very
we'll in Maine, is, we believe, of Per-
sian origin. In word, we cannot de-
eide, without trying, whether New En-
gland or the Middle States may not
cultivate the Fig. We only know,
that cultivation will do great deal
which nature did not seem to intend
accomplishing without human instru-
mentality; and these results arc the
premiums she pays to the ingenuity and
the industry ofman.--Bost. jour.
Culture Of SiM.---At the late Bris4
toll Agricultural exhibition, four premi-
ums were awarded for the white null
berry tree---and the whole number of
trees entered for the premiums, was
over 10000.
We are glad that the farmers of
Massachusetts are turning their atten-
ton to the, culture Of Silk--and we
doubt not that they will be encouraged
to persist in this praise-worthy under
taking. Mulberry trees can be scat
tered about a farm, without interfering
with the growth Of any other plant or
vegetable. They may be planted by
the side of the fences-around the
house, or in the garden, where they
make beautiful hedges. For six weeks
in the year the boys and girls can de-
vote part of their time to rearing tho
silk 1t will be an interesting
occupation for them. Any clubhouse
will be suitable for that purpose. In
this way every farmer may, If he
pIeases, raise from ten - fifteen pounds
of cocoous without being at any addi-
tlonal expense.
1t is thus that the silk is raised in the
south of France and Italy. Every
husbandman attends in a greater or a
less degree to the cultivation of the
Mulberry tree and the rearing Of the
silk worm-and il is thus that we nope
to see it ere long cultivated IN New
England.-LoweH Journal.

Erecution Negro BEN, convicted OF rape.
was executed; in conformity with the judgment
of the cnurt, on Friday last. An Immense con.
course assembled to witness the execution. When
the moment arrived for his suspension. he walk
ed fi,miy to the spot, showed no terror in his
couutenance OF manner, and died with scarcely
a struggle After hanging about hall an hour,
he VAS Ut down, aud his b,dy passed to the me-.
dicaI faculty. By whom sOme interesting galvanic
experiments were performed upon his body
We nave applied to Dr.. DUNBAR. through whose
agency the experiments were undertaken, and
~ has promised detailed account for our next
paper. As some curiosity Is felt on the subject.
we merely give sketch Of the results.
The galvanlc influence was fist applied to the
muscles uf the neck, which caused a conclusive
action of those parts; next to the nerve above the
pye-the ,esul, was opening and closing the eye
lids aud an eeva ion Of the nos'rs and cheek ex
pre,slve of disdain. 1t was then applied to the
muscle which closes the mouth-a motion similar
To that produced when about to speak was the re.
suit: then to the tongue, whc" produced rapid
quivering motion; applied to the nerve just aoose
the bend Of the arm. and the gavaRic current sent
along il, the result very interesting; violent
cont, action of the muscles Of the arm vas produ-
eed; the arm struck e side Of the body with great
force, and made powerful efforts to jrrk away
trum The hand If the operator; when applied to
the muscles Of the thigh aud foot. con'ulsive
action ~ the muscles Of the thigh was the result.
attended by a contraction and bending OF the leg
aud toes
Gaivanic experiments have been rarely per-
formed in this country. from the difficulty of OBJ
tanning suitable apparatus, and the unfrequency
of crioDinal executions.
Dr.. Dunbar was assisted IN these experiments

Lee, student If Winchester Urg.
