machine, the invention Of NJ. J. G. Per
ro, Of South Kingstown, II. l.. is rapid
ly coming into general use, and taking
the place of all other Machines hither-
to used for the purposes for which this
10 designed. The Machine is intended
Tor cutting meat, suet apples, feed for
cattle, &c. 1t chops the materials for
pies, and mixes all the ingredients well ;
il does the same also for sausages and
flls them. The superiority Of this Ma
chine over all others is that il cuts the
Meat, &c. very smoothly, and does not
bruise, tear or mash it, as is the case
with nil other Machines now in use. II
cuts the meat, &C., whether fat or lean,
dry or wet, smoothly and cleanly, and
discharges itself without clogging the
Machine, or any part oft, in the slight
est degree. They are being used all
over the United States they are affor-
ded at so low a price, that they are with
in the reach Of every one,-and no fat
mer should be without one. The Ma
chine has received the Premium ut all
the Fairs where il has been exhibited;
those who purchase these Machines will
not be disappointed one Of them will
cut and mince from 60 pounds to 600
pounds of meat per day, according to
the steadiness with which it is worked.
All orders sent to the Inventor, Mr.. Per-
ry, will be promptly attended to.
A TBEATIsE ON ENGLISH PUscrUA-
Tson designed for lctter-writcrs, auth
ora, printers and correttors of the Press;
and for the Use of Schools and Acade-
Ipies. With an Appendix, containing Il
list ofabbreviations, hints on proof-re
ing, &c. BY John Wilson, 81 School
street, Boston. Published by the author,
1850.
Such is the title Of very beautifully
printed work Of 200 pages on this very
important subject. But few persons, c.
ven those who write regularly for the
press, know how TO punctuatc correctly I;
and many authors write page after page,
and scarcely put stop Of any kind in
their M IS. The compositor, therefore,
is necessitated TO punctuate as he sets
the type, and this makes his duty much
more arduous. Unless printed matter is
correctly punctuntcd, the sense is often
obscure, and sometimes entirely des-
troyed hence the necessity Of all per-
sons. who write for publication, knowing
how TO punctuate accurately. 1t is n
very easy matter TO learn and the
whole system is so simply and thorough
ly explained in this book oiMr. Wilson's,
that any one may clearly comprehend
the whole system Of punctuation, by Il
careful perusal and study of this book
We warmly recommend it to all per-
sons, because it is important to have a
friendly or business letter even properly
punctuated, and in this book all neccs-
sary instruction is given.

JENNY LIND DOWN EAsT.-A Caldis
Me-, correspondent Of the Portland Ar
gus writes as follows:
"A check for five hundred dollars was
received here yesterday by the cashier
oflhe Calais Bank; to be given to Mrs.
Sarah Clark, widow of Joseph N. Clark
late Of this town, who lost his life in res
cuing the lives Of the crew ofthe Swe-
dish brig Johanna, of Stockholm. Clark
was mate Of the bark Sophia, Of Calais,
which vessel arrived in Portland about
the lst of Oct. On the Sd Of Sept. the
Sophia fell in with the Johanna in a
sinking condition, and took ofEthe crew,
who were mostly Swedes, and after get
ting all on board but one the boat upset;
and Clark was drowned. Some mention
was made Of the circumstances at tha
time in some of the Portland papers, and
suggestions thrown out that Clark's fam
lily would be n fit object for Jenny Lind's
charity, and she it seems has been pleas
ed TO bestow the above amount upon the
widow and three children of him who
sacrificed his own life in rescuing those
Of her countrymen. 1t is perhaps proper
to state that application was made and
all the facts set forth, and the whole thing
underwent a close examination before
the money came, which is all right
