New SrEAMBoAr.-The snterpfising csmps.
nv who own the ANsoN have had new boat
built for the Pee Ice, which reached our landing
on Friday last, and returned on Saturday for
George Town. She has but one x1eei-that in
the rear, and carries two tow.boats, one on each
side, on board which all freight is placed. She
draws only two feet seven inches water, and, Of
course, can run whenever light pole boats can.
She brought up on board her toses 100 sacks ofsas
when the river was about l6 inches above loss
water mark, and returned. after It had fallen
inches. It was supposed that she could have
come up with her load if the river had been Sc
veral inches lower.
She is to connect with the ANsoN at Or about
George Town, and form continuous line to
Charleston. Goods will generally be changed
from one to the other; and when this happens,
on any account, not to be the case, the company
have made such arrangements that goods shipped
by either, for the entire line shall incur no e<'
penso in George Town. The introduction ofsuch
a boa. forms new era inthe navigation ofout
river, and will prevent much ofthe embarrassment
under which merchants and planters have hither-
to labored in dry seasons. Both boats have com.
Portable accommodations for passengers. Ofths
works Of the new boat We have said nothing, be-.
cause we are not judge in such matters. They
seem to Us to be reparkably adapted to place and
purpose. The boat is called Tar SwAN, in allu.
sion. we suppose, to the Hghtness with which she
skins over the water. ~

PRICE or xoRus MuLTtcAuLIs.

PRICE Of AOhUS AULIlChoLAos
A gentleman in Virginia (says the Silk Far
mer) who invested $24OO in trees the present
spring, has sold the produce of that sum for
1900 dollars, after allowing ono fourth for
cultivation. Trees three feet high were sold
in New Jersey three weeks ago at 40 cents,
,squas 70 II Il g. cents per foot. AT sweeds-
borough in the same state they have since been
sold at so cents, which if the height as is pro-
babe, does not exceed three feet, is l6 %
cents per foot. Near Petersburg Va. contracts
have been made, according to the Silk Farm
er, at and l.2 cents per bud, and some
smaller contracts at2 cents. The editor Of the
same work says that he is authorized to sell
four brick houses in the city Of Philadelphia,
in an excellent neighborhood, and paying Blk
per cent interest, clear Of taxes, in exchange
for trees at the market price. So it would
seem morus multicaulis is better property than
real estate in Philadelphia.

We learn that trees are now selling in this
market for two cents an eye, and trees from

of the animal aud many valuable horses
are annually lost from what may be termed
careIessness in this respect. The horse can.
not eat dry hay or grain. while his throat is
so swelled, and hay or grain steamed or boil
ed, green grass, carrots cut fine, should be
provided. In long continued cases, mashes
made Of bran or oatmeal, must be given {;
and if he obs,inately refuse to cut, cruel OF
proper consis'ence may be turned down his
throat. Ifhe can be kept up till the swell
ling of the glands subside, or external sup
pura,ion takes place, they will generally
recover. and tho great object in the treatment
should be to prevent the entire prostratlon
of strength. When the disease terminates
fatally after the stage of swelling is passed,
it is by Inflammation Of the lungs, or Pulrld
fever, and when either of these supervene on
the already exhausted animal, there is little
hope Of his again getting up.

The wind that rings along the wave,
The clear, unshadowed sun.

Whose last green wreath is won!
No strangcr-hand their banners furled
No victor's shout they heard
Unseen, above them ocean curled,
Save by his own pale bird F.;

Wild shricked the midnight gale;
Far, far beneath the morning swell

Fair barks and gallant men!
