INDUSTRIOUS FEEDERS.

Mr.. Webs,er's curious Statistics given in his |
Albany speech, have produced quite consterna-
ton among the good people of Massachusetts,
Among the other strange things which he states' Is
the singular fact ha, Massachusetts, alone consumes
annually some four millions dollars worth OF wheat
"Accor,ling to this" says the Bay State Democrat
sswe are the highest feeders, the greatest gluttons
in the universe" Heliogabalus, and certain other
of the Roman emperors, who did nothing but eat
and that enormously all the time, are not to be COM
pared with the inhabitants of the Bay State. The
nav of each one of them must equal that OF the
great animals which are occasionally dug up IN
Missouri, measuring some sixty feet or more from
tip to tail.
Awriter in the Albany Argus has some calcula-
,;ons founded on Mr.. Webster's facts, which we
subjoin. He saYs'
..our astop.h,n nent increases when we reflect
chat al, this flour and bsef and pork, &c, which
Mr. w. says is consumed there, comes J'o"' 0'"-
er States, and that they devour besides all inc oo'n
and beans, and potatoes, and rice, and p2'A' anu
beef, and butter and cheese, that they raise Their
selves: and all the sea food that they fish out OF
Massachusetts bay, to boot. We had supposed,
that with the exceptions perhaps of their bread
stuifs they raised even in Massachusetts,, with her
dense population, enough to keep them alive,
were all other supplies cut of. But what do they
now consume besdes'
"According to Mr.. Webster, there is consumed
in Massachusetts annually, Of the flour Of oher
at pricaa SSS SSS
barrels! This is nearly all the flour that has came
to tidewater through our canal this season. This,
when made into bread, would weigh 239, ,999, ,76O
mounds, and would be an allowance, annually, to
each of the 700 900 men, women, and children oil
Massachusetts,, o. fn,ore than their tceigM in bread
alone, were they all Daniel Lamberts! Then OF
beefa and pork of foreign growth, they consume
S3 900 900 worth annually, or 4OO,O 600 barrels
to lbs. 900 900 pounds. This divided among her
adult population, would be an allowance to each
eoual in weight to the foreign bread Then OF
forcign corr and other grain they consume "a ,ooo,-
900 worth year--or some s'ooo'ooo oushe''' OF
some s2O ,ooO, 900 OF pounds! Then there are some
9 900 900 pounds of rice, and some l4'ooo'o'O
mounds Of foreign butter ard cheese thrown in
making an aggregate of sl2, 900 in value' and
of over 100 600 900 Of pounds Of tGod from oi"e'
Stutes, annually consumed there. This Is aOou'
900 pounds foreign produce consumed every
wear for every Bay State man woman, and child!
This IS, beyond all question, the most extraordi'
nary feeding on record! Are the Massachusetts,
people afflicted with tape.worms, or do they keep
the sea serpent in pay'

RAILROAD TO CANADA.--It appears that
serious project is on foot to build railroad from
Boston TO Canada through Bennington, Vermont;
and that Thomas II. Perkins has subscribed $780,
600, Abbott Lawrence 10000, and that the
amount of cost, whatever it may be, will be taken
up by wealthy capitalists.

TO SAW.iMIIL OWNERS,
Cr those who are about to build
or repair.

The undersigned respectfully informs the
public that he is duly authorised TO sell the
Right of the Johnson Re-acting Water wheel,
10 the counties of Monroe and Pike, patented
the 22d day Of June, A. ID. lS40
The Johnson re-acting wheel is the best now
in use 10 prope. saw mill; it excels any other
wheel in The United States under low water
head;- under head from TO feet is sufi-
cient to cut from 10 5000 feet in twelve hours
of inch or any other boards with ease. The
wheels require, under foot head, l40 inches
Of water and so in proportion TO any other head.
Under foot head, the Saw will make from
200 TO go strokes per minute. The advan
tage which those wheels have over any other
wheels Is, ihatit requires but four posts TO make
the foom or bulk head; the wheels are hung on
the crank shaft. Two wheels are what is re-
quired for a Saw mill, and The posts planked in
side the same as pen stock. have built one
of those mills this season, on the Roaring
Brook, in Luzerne county, fer Mr.. S. P. Tenn
pin, under about foot head, which will cut
from 10 1000 in twelve hours Of inch boards;
therefore, | can recommend them as the best

more mills in that part, all under low heads,
which answers the same purpose as that Of MIR.
