PROSPECTUS

The extensive and growing interest Of
the Southwest, It's moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
tion to the fact that in this highly impor.
tant portion Of our country there is no
journal or paper so exclusively devoted to
literature and science, advocating thedoc-
trines Of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commepced the publication Of
a periodical entitled "THE Souri, -WEs-

The New Hampshire Courier says, that James
Eaton, gunsmith of Concord, N. H. has invented
an important improvement in loading and discharg-
ing the musket or the rife, with rotary magazine
capable of containing powder, balls and caps sufi-
cicnt for twenty-four rounds and it may be loaded
,in one minute, and give twenty four discharges in
our minutes! One chamber is assigned for balls,
one for powder, and one for caps. It loads itself
from the magazine, and puts on the caps, merely
construction renders it perfectly safe ball can
be lodged midway of the rifle, nor can fire commu-
nicate with the magazine. Twenty-four pieces, in
cluding every spring, screw and pin, complete this
wonderful piece of machinery.

How often is youth cut down when least expect
ed by the consumption, and followed to their graves
by parents who are in measure the cause of their
premature death, in negecting to remedy colds when
existing in childhood, looking upon them trifing
affections, and not attracting their notice until the
destroyer has commenced its work and made sure
of its victim This is not fanciful representation.
for daily numerous instances which prove the
fact.
In manhood colds terminate in the same way but
do not progress rapidly in youth; they should,
however, in both youth and manhood, be early at
