AZ Mr. Crocker, the Civil Engineer who is
engaged to survey the Boston, Concord and
Montreal Railroad in New Hampshire, com
menced reconnaissance OF the route on Tues
day of last week. His Surveying party has
been org anized, aud he will commence the snr-
vey as soon as the snow shall have settled as
10 render il practicable. From what we have
learned of the Reconnaissance, the route has
been found more satisfactory than was antci-
pated, requiring much smaller expenditure
for grading the road than the average cost of
roads III New England. 1t is thought that
the whole expense for every thing will not ex-
coed 81 900 TO the mile II must be evident
to all that the grading will be light--nearly all
the road will be upon the waters edge; and
more than one third of the way will be upon
the shores Of bays and the lake Cheapness Of
construction, and the vast amount Of business
which must necessarily be poured down from
the northern world, over this road must of ne
eessiiy render the stock among the soundest
and best in the market. The stock is already
being sought for, and il is thought an unusual
" large portion Off will he taken in The coun-
tfy.--Belknap Gazette, FEB. %.

The Worcester Egis states that Messrs.
Harden, Hunt s. Co., firm doing an extensive
business in that town, paid, during the last
year, about one thousand dollars for advertising
their goods, and are satisfied that for this out
lay they have received rich harvest in return:
Messrs. Harden, Hun, & Co. are the sue
cessors to a firm somewhat celebrated for its
bold enterprise aud prosperity, and from whom
they learned The grand secret OF their success
ia trade. Messrs. Clafin g. Co., well known
TO most OF our down town readers, commenced
business in Worcester but few years since,
with but the common chances for success.
Their name soon found its way into every farm
house, workshop, and store in the county, at
The top and bottom of large and flaming adver-
tisemens. Their store was soon crowded with
eager aud asonished customers, and of course,
their stock OF goods went of very last. Messrs
Cafn & Co. found themselves in possession
Of capital enough to enter into largely ncreas-
ed business two or three years since, and sold
out 10 the present proprictors, all Of whom had
been clerks in their employ. The new firm FOL
lowed closely the example Of advertising large
ty, and no doubt meet with like success. What
would some of our Washington street mer-
chants think of paying $1,000 per year for adj
vertsing, in place Of the size Of Worcester

WYMAS's Wyman, the embezzling Pres-
dent of the Phoenix Bank, is like to escape from
the just rewards Of his crime by a technical defect
in the indictment. II will be remembered that on
his second trial, he was found guilty, and SEN
fenced to seven years imprisonment in the Peniten
tary His counsel, however, took exceptions TO
the ruling Of the Judge, who presided at the trial,
and those exceptions have been sustained by the Su
preme Court, and the has been remanded for
new trial Buff we rightly understand the case,
no new trial will probably be had, as the defect
is in the indictment and cannot be amended. The
statute under which the indictment was drawn,
provides "that funy Cashier, Officer or other Agent
or servant of Bank, &c. should embezzle, and
they should be punished under the act In the in
dictment it is not expressly set forth that Wyman
was On Agent, and therefore il is defective.

The Boston Atlas says of the Inaugural:-

The Boston Atlas says Of the Inaugural
eve cannot forbear the expression Of the
deep disgust and Indignation with which the
perusa has filled US, and with which il cannot
fail to inspire every honest mind, that is not SO
far poisoned by partisan prejudices as not TO be
shocked or moved, by such an unblushing be-
;raya, by the President, of his true character.
II is not too much TO say, that cant, false
hood and ruthless party spirit constitute the
whole Of this precious document. lie begins
with an unequivocal and shameless untruth,
when he claims to have been chosen by the
'lree and voluntary sufirages'' of his country
men--nnd throughout his address he has con-
tlved TO embody more direct and positive I'M
truths than. we will venture TO say, were ever
before crowded into a document of the same
length.
We find it hard to determine which of these
three prominent features, in this address, is
most deserving OF public censure and contempt
Its brazen and demonstrable falsities--its
sckening cantor its unmiiigated and offensive
devotion to party, and exclusively Southern
views.''

GREAT FiRE IN WAsHiNeToE.--One of the
greatest fires that has ever occurred in the city,
broke out in the National Theatre TO night,
about O'Clock. There was an immense audi
ence in the theatre, but fortunately all escaped,
owing to the admirable manner in which the
theatre was constructed. The fire caught in
The oil room, and in few moments the whole
back part of the theatre was on FIRE, and in one
hour the whole interior of the building. The
fire extended TO the Globe office, upon the right
of the building, which was but slightly DANA
ged, and 10 the corner of Thirteenth street, and
three buildings on Thirteenth street were de-
stroyed-in all, six or eight buildings. The es-
cape from the theatre was most Marvellous
There was general fright and rushing towards
the door, but happily there was time to escape,
and hear Of no accidents Of any kind. The
occupants Of the houses adjoining the theatre
had time TO save their furniture, but much of il
in damaged condition. The streets were IL
ned with furniture, and the wrecks of goods re-
moved from the grog-shops and dwellings.
The Globe Office had narrow escape. The
top OF the Reservoir, containing large guam
THY of water, was several times on fire. The
office was saved in consequence Of fire proof
building. There was hundred thousand dol
lars worth OF books in the office.
One of the Democratic balls was given last
night at the National Theatre, but most Of the
fixtures were removed. The Theatre was in
sured for $4,000. twas bought few weeks
since for Sl4,500. The original cost of lot and
building was $4,000 The whole loss of prop
erty will amount, probably, 10 $4,000, and
perhaps more. Among the houses destroyed
was one owned and occupied by Mr. Nourse,
Clerk in the Treasury Department. Two of
the houses were owned by Col. Hackness
The fire would have been put out, in New
York, in thirty minutes, but here there was
neither method in putting down the fire, or any
head 10 direct its management.

SAGE your Corn Cobs and .Shucks.
TO TIIF PLANTERS AND MILLERs OF NORTH
CAROLINA.
FWVHE undersigned has obtained Letters Patent,
q to enable common Mill stones Cor rocks) now
IN use, to grind CORN, COB and SHUCK, into
meal, for Horses Mules, Cattle, Hogs, &C., there
by saving more than one third of a crop, which is
an important item with planters. The machinery
used tor the above purpose is simple and durable,
and cannot, with fair means, get out of order. 1t
will last long the Stones last with an expense
of so cents every five years. To enable the COM
mon Mill Stones to grind corn into meal, re-
quires no new buildings extra power. 1t can
also be applied to Horse Mills, Threshng Ma
chimes, Gins, or any given power known. The
same Mill will grind one-thrd more of Corn Meal
by the introduction of this Machinery, and can be
changed from grinding Corn and Cob, to grinding
Corn Meal in the space of thirty seconds Corn
alone, when fed to stock, is said to be by the most
practical and scientific Planters, constipating in its
effects, producing founders, cholics and various
other maladies which are NEEDN'T to stock Grind
ing cobs with the Com, makes food congenial
with their nature, and cannot produce any of the
serious results above mentioned. Stock, when fed
on Corn exclusively, deprived of the benefits of
disension $50 necessary to the proper health of an
lmals,) by their being unable to eat sufficient
bulk to produce distension before the animal be-
comes gorged Cobs ground with the corn, pro-
duce the necessary distension, without any danger
of diseases arising from overeating. Corn and cob
meal is improved by scaldlng, and still more by
boiling, and yet more by partial fernentation.-
All the preparations facilitate digestion for Hogs.
But Horses and Mules will not eat fermented food,
consequently they will require it dry or partially
wet with cold water Horses, Mules and Oxen,
when fed with unground food, void much in an
undgested state, avhich is Of course lost for all ben
eJfcial purposes.Lf Read the suBoiaed certificate.

| Having been solicited by Maj Collins to have
my Mill adjusted to grind Corn in the Ear and
Shuck, consented that he should do so as an ex-
pertinent; and am able to say that it grinds Corn
in the Shuck at the rate of 80 bushels per hour
and the dressing of the stones is SO improved, that
it grinds shelled Corn more than twice as fast as
before, and by nay watch, at the rate of bushels
per hour, and the meal finer than usual. | deem
1t valuable improvement, and shall purchase the
right to use it, as it will afford me speedy way of
feeding my horses and cattle, and save much
