II | hereby make known TO The public that
have obtained a Patent from the United States
for an improved Saw, and now ready 10 dis
pose Of rights, or furnish those with Saws who
wish 10 avail. themselves Of this vast improve
ment This Saw will cut double the amount in
any given time, with the same power, as that Of
the ordinary saw. The nature Of my invention is
so to construct the teeth Of the Saw that each
tooth shall cut its way clean through the wood
without tearing or forcing the Saw; each tooth
acting as mortisng chisel, and cutting chip or
core Of the same thickness; that each tooth stands
ia advance Of the one next behind il the cutting
part of each tooth is exactly vertical; and, not
withstandng, each tooth advances in front OF the
one next behind il; the blade Of the Saw to be Of
equal width, requiring the back Of the Saw TO be
inclined forward The size of the opening be-
tween the teeth 10 be increased or reduced, sc-
cording TO the length OF the Saw and sire of the
timber to be cut, so that each space between the
teeth shall be capable Of holding the entire chip
or core that the tooth behind it may cut of. The
Saw is capable Of being attached TO any mill.

The HucEstsrs are highly inoensed at the law

The Hucksters are highly incensed at the law
pending in the City Councils regulating their
business They consider that il reflects on their
honesty. and that its effect will be to disgrace
them. On Saturday night they declined to attend
market, and will, il is said, absent themselves this
morning from the Centre Market, unless their
grievances shall be redressed. They have had
the sway Of the markets for so many years, that
any legislation respecting them is considered an
oppression, which demands resistance after the
parliamentary manner OF Withholding the sup
pesp AS siege is an effectual means Of re-
ducing fertilization to submission, thus starving
the enemy they likewise resort to this warlike
expedient to gain victory the City Fathers"
There are laws in existence prohibiting fore
stalling,n but these are difficult TO enforce and
hence the new legislation. eFA &qfa
Much as the hucksters are blamed, in many
cases with reason, the community cannot well
dispense with them, If at all, when the roads lead
ing from the country are rendered impossible TO
the farmer and the gardener during the wintry
weather especially. tis then that the hucksters
supply our markets from their store-houses; also
drawing their commodities from sources accessi-
BILE by railroad when they are precluded from
other means of intercommunIcatlon.
II is, in view Of these facts, a delicate subject
on which to legslate. If, however, there is truth
there is safety" we need not apprehend the
calamity of a famine.

Tor seven or eight hours. the dress was thin
Norbury donned it. and covered with his ample
judicial robes, no one could see it. BY and by,
the heat became almost intoerable. NorbuIy
gave his wig the usual twltch to the side; then
he TUNED up the sleeves Of his robe; next he
Eloosened the girdle which confined it round his
waist; and lastly, when the loosened envelope
had gradually opened, there was the Chief JUS
tice seen in his Hawthorn dress chuckling over
the jokes with which be amused himself and the
Court during the intervals between the graver
business of sentencing culprits to be hanged.-
He was usually very polite TO prisoners. On
one occasion, when he had TO sentence half a doz.

The Printer.

The night grows late; the streets are hushed +;
moon-b beams deck the deserted pavement, and
sleep strews his slumberous poppies over the i'm
habitants of the silent city All are at rest save
the printer, who is busy at his case.
Dreams, lovely as winged cherubs hover about
the repose of man and maiden; visions as pure
as first lilies aud beautiful as the matron and
child; but to the printer ali is reality, toll and
weariness.
How nimbly and cheerfull5 does he adjust the
faithful types, as if he took " no note of time
as if the duties that were wearing out his life,
were more diversion than a laborious avoca-
tion But amid their monotonous discharge, be-
leve us, the printer thinks of home and sweet
rest, and sighs within himself for the better lot
oe which Others are possessed; and yet there is
no repoae for him, though the night tramps on
and the iocund dawn will soon appear.
Why do his motions grow less rapid, why
move his fingers in so deliberate and mechanica
a wayq Why is the smile that fingers at his lip
like the first sun beam at the gates of morning
There is gentle presence at his side-an eye
blue as violets, glancing into his OWEN &C
cent sweet as music, enhancing his ear and rea
ching his very heart.
It's but moment--it is only recovery-i
did not even win him from his occupation; i
only caused his hand to falter. not to cease; tht
printer awakens to busy toll again.
Ye who receive your sunrise favorite, en-,
wander, perhaps listlessly over IT'S pages, rennen
Der that il is the fruit f toll which was activ
and untiring, while you were quietly sleeping
that your convenience and comfort were brough
with the price of WEAKNESS.
There is an " electric cord" which being char
ged with sympathy viii carry the gentle burthe
/ to the most distant hearts. We bespeak il
laeBncy in behalf Of the fsilhfu. phater.
