publication: The Original as afordng
a fine instance ofthe value Of good breeding
or poli,eness, even in circumstances where
it could not be cxpec'el TO produce any
personal advantage.

iercourses with which the city is nterscctcd,
missed his footing, and in trying 10 save
himself los, his hat. The exhibition was
truly unfortunate 1.-The spectators laughed,
and looked at the Eng!isbman, expecting
him to iaugh too. On the contrary, he not
only retained his composure, but promptly
advanced 10 where the hat had rolled, and
taking it up, presented it with an air Of un-
affected kindness to its confused owner.
The officer received it with blush ofsur.
prise and gratitude, and hurried 10 rejoin

KNIFE AND FORK FACTORY OF
G. AND =. y. ROPES, PORTLAND.

\ rey days since--at our own request
we were politely introduced into this Fac.
tory, by one Of the proprie;ors. We had
seen before few specimens Of t.clr man
ulacture, and had heard something Of the
extent and perfection 10 which they were
carrying their new Invention bu. we ac-
knowledge ourselves happily surprised and
happily disappointed. About a year since,
it occurred 20 the M2ssrs. Ropes, that a
valuable Improvement might lie made in
manufacturing The common table knife and
fork. Their inventive genius was imme.
diatciy taxed for such an article. In the
course OF "A few months, these articles we're
constructed, and u Patent Obtained for the
exclusive manufacture, sale and use, OF
knives and forks, which are superior 10 any
thing else ever before presented 10 the pub.
lie, either in Europe or America. We may
well indeed be surprised that two young
men-almost boys indeeJ-shouid have, in
the compass Of d single year, produced an
article which for its perfection, ouvies all
tina, the mec,,anists of Europe have been
able 20 produce for centuries.
The superiority ofthese knives and forks
consists, chiefly, LA the facts that the
articles arc made uho|Iy Of cast steel; .
THIS is done wihou, ueh!iag-:he START
Or ,ha, part which is inserted into the han
d'c,-and the blade being all Of one piece.
3-Thcy are al! cut cut Ly die, so that
their appearance and SIC are perfectly the
same. 4--Thry are polished lengtkrise,
which gives much smoother surface, and
much higher polish--but which has neve
been orac,iscd heretofore IN the old conn.
tries. We may add that the fork is mot
hardened, which leaves it with such elas,i.
city. that al though you press the tines TO-
geher, they will spring back Ike steel
tempered fnr the purpose. The EngIisE,
knife, it will be reco'icctcd, is made OF two
pieces, tie blade o.! s;cc, and tho s:art. Of
IRON, and lhca welded together. Their
forks ale usua!!y made ofiron.
I he factory. established in tbs city by
The Messrs. Ropes, is now in successful
operation making perhaps a knif: every
minute in tic day, complete and all this
by hands that nevrr before saw knife
made. The whole process we would &C.
'a'l, were this our present object; but it is
!; o.. We call The attention of our readers
| % it merely for THEN pecuniary benefit.
Many Of the table knives now in use are
very poor, and yet they cost as much or
more than this beautiful and we'll made
article as Mr.. Ropes informs US. that he
can furnish them at cheaper rate, than
those imported from Europe. We advise,
; therefore, all our readers, to purchase 80
table knife, but such as are manufactured
at l., above establishment. From the view
we GOV take Of il, we doubt indeed, if, Z
few years hence, there will be any others 10
purchase. as they will probably, by the
cheapn"ss and superiority of tae.r articles,
cn ire y prevent the importation Of the for.

BERKSHIRE SWINE.

IVARMERs, who wish to improve their breed E of Hogs, will find it to their advantage to use the opportunity which will be offered du- ring the coming autumn of introducing the Berkshire kind. This breed is thick, close, and we'll made in body, has SHORT LEGS AND EARS, very small in the bone, and full in the hind quarters, having disposition to fatten quickly, and when we'll fed the flesh is cele- brated as ofthe best quality. Berkshire has long been famous for its excellent breed of swine, which has extended itself from that district throughout England, and is reckoned among the finest breeds in that country.-- Their form is admirably calculated to lay on very large quantity of meat compared with their bone and offal. Itgrows to very great weight. is good for either pork or bacon; and is allowed to be the most hardy, both in re- spect to its nature and the food on which it will thrive. They will live on anunusually moderate quantity of food, and are easily fat tened. T Any persons wishing to see for themselves specimen of this justly famous breed, can find one in the possession of THo's WELLS NoRTHRor, directly east of the Kent Meeting House.
 N. B. Tho common coarse, slow-foeding, big-boned, ong-shanked, great. shouted, flat sided, pendant-eared, loosc-skinned, coarse haired, lank, haggard race. now generally used, arc GREATLY IMPROVED when mixed with the well-formed Berkshire breed.
