To ascertain the age Of Poulfry-Col. JAG
ques, we'll know as having much experience,
and being strict observer in regard to all
kinds OF animals, says that the age of poultry
may be ascertained by the form of the rump
piece, or that part which contains the oil glands
When the fowl is less than a year old, this
part is quite small where it joins the rump,
hut after it is over year, it begins TO I'll up
al the junction, and so continues as the fowl
grows older, till it becomes quite broad and
fat and fleshy, where the rump piece joins the
body, whereas in young fowls il is email, as
though thread had been tied round.

The Salt Water Worn.-The following j:

an account OF very curious insect:
We have seen, in the quartermaster.s de-
partment, to-day, specimen of the voracity
OF the saltwater worm. 1t is a piece of wool
eaten so as TO resemble honey comb-or
rather, il looked like piece of hornets nest
1t was sent 10 Washington from the Brazos;
and So piercing is the dartmouth of this little
insect, and so active when it penetrates the
fibre, that the wood was reduced to its pre-
sent appearance in the course OF 80 days 1t
was not the part of vessel, but piece OF
the ways laid to bring articles TO the shore. II
is scarcely possible for vessel to lie IN those
waters, ii ii be unshethed with copper, with
out serious damage. One ortwo steamboats,.
which were without copper buttons have
sunk in those waters ali the others have been
sheathed. The insect is said TO be at fist laid
upon the timber in the form OF nit; and when
it is Matched, it pierces the wood making
very small hole; but as the worm increases in
size, in passing through it, it eats a larger
aperture into it. When it has gone through
a piece OF timber, instead of penetrating Inc
opposite surfucf, it turns AMI eats It's way
back.

ENGLISH, CLASSICAL, MATHE-

SCHOOL,,
Dec. 81, l847.

THE subscribers beg leave to inform the citizens
| of Wayne and the adjoining counties, that
they have opened an English, Classical, Mercan-
tile and Mathematical School, in the town of
Goldshorough.
The Senior instructor, Mr.. JOHN ROBINSON, is
practical and experienced Teacher, having for
the last ten years stood at the head of his profess
sion III Europe, as the many factoring testimonials
in his possession will show. William Robinson
Gatters himself that he is already favorably known
in this region, teacher who has always been
faithful in the discharge of duty and successful in
imparing instruction and would, therefore throw
himself upon his old patrons OF Wayne. Lenor,
and Edgecombe-in which counties he has spent
the last nine years-for a share of that patronage
which they always so cheerfully bestowed upon
him.
Mr.. John Robinson will superintend the Eng
lish. Mercantile, and Mathematical department,
and give instruction in the Italian and French
languages-also in ms: rumental music, if requr-
ed. Vocal music will constitute part OF the daily
exercises of the pupils
Mr.. William Robinson will superintends the
classical department.
They have built and fitted up new School
Room, and hope that their effort to establish a
School of high literary merit in this rising and
f1ourishing town, will not be in vain. They COM
mence it on individual enterprise, and under the
most discouraging circumstances, and rely upon
the merits of the Institution alone for support.
The School is now in operation, and those who
wish to avail themselves of its advantages, are re-
quesed TO make no delay in entering, that the
classes may be properly and advantageously Or
ganized.
For further particulars, apply 20 either of the
subscribers. JOHN ROBINSON,

is properly a representative of America, as
this animal is found in no other part of the

brightness that of any other animal She has
no eyelids, and therefore an emblem Of vigi-

her wounds, however small, are decisive and

destruction to her enemies. The power of
fascination attributed TO her by generous
construction, resembles America Those who
look steadily on her are delighted, and invol-
