A NOVEL WAGON Our attention has been
called on several occasions, to double
horse wagon which frcquents our streets, oil
q somewhat novel construction, and different
from any thing Of the cart or wagon kind
which ever came under our observation
Tho plan OF the vehicle, If it is proper to
call it such, originated with Mr.. Nathanl
Kinball; and it is used for the conveyance
of bricks from Mr. KS yard to the places
Of sale. It is really wagon, having four
wheels but, by very simple arrangement,
is so constructed rs to combine the adyan'
tOSes OF both cart and wagon. The for.
ward wheels, which are a little smaller than
such arc usually made, are placed upon
an axletree just tho width Of the body Of
the wagon, and, by means Of an elevated
rocker attached to the axletrce with tran.
som, bolt which allows the aSletrec q
turn, the body is made level and can be
tipped, in the same manner that cart j:
tipped. to discharge the load. We are not
quite sure but it would require q snail
amount more Of power to haul n load of
equal weight in this cart than il would in a
horse cart; but Mr.. Kimball thinks not
AT any rate, its advantages over u common
cart will be obvious TO any one who will OK.
anime it. 1t relieves the horses from any
weight excepting the pole, and thus enables
them to apply their whole strength to the
hauling Of the load - and in descending
hill, such vehicl, must have great advan.
iascs over the common cart Ii wonld be
an improvement, to make common buggy
wagons, and all four-whecled pleasure car
riages, after this plan,-as they may be
turned in small space, and with no dan
ger Of overseeing. We hope that Mr.. X.
may be enabled to turn his improvement to
good advantage to himself. It certainly re-
quircs some genius to study out an improve
mcni in carriage.making which shall have
the advantages Of a cart and wagon - and
ifMr. Kimhall has dome this, he is deserving
Of his reward. ...

LADIES festival. The Festival, or Tea
Party, arranged by the ladies of The Baptist
Society in this town belonging to Rev. Mr.
Ilubbard's Society, held at Central Hall, on
Wednesday evening, was very pleasant
mad successful gathering. The object of the
Festival was to obtain aid towards the cree,
ton OF the Church which is being built by
Mr.. Hubbard's Society and VIC are glad to
say that the Festival was very successful
one AS well as pleasant and social meet
ing. The Hall was crowded with the young
and old Of both sexes, from all societies, and
from both sides OF the river. We should
think there must have been near thousand
present. The tables were beautifully laid,
tastefplly decorated with boquets, and liter.
ally hurdonOd with the tempting viands -
and to give interest and animation to the
occasion, the Serenade Band, under tho di
rcctiOn Of Mr.. II. NJ. Hobbs, discOurscd
most excellent music during the evening"
We understand tina, the members of the
Band generously gave their services gratui
tiously - for which they should DO remcm

In the course Of tho evening pleasant re

Esq, who dictated in a most satisfactory
manner rs President OF the meeting; Rev
Mr.. Hubbard, l.. o. Cowan, Esq, Rev. Mr.
Gould, Rev. Mr.. Allen, and Rev. Mr.. Smith
OF Saco. A contribution, started withou
reconciliation, by the President, and pu
under way in the best manner by the libcr

Of $4,000; which sum has been devoted &c
the especial object for which it was design,
ed. We understand that the ladies viii
realize from their effort by the sale OF tickets
$4,000 and by sale of cake 500, 90; which,
together with the amount Of the contribu.
ton, makes very pretty sum to appropriate
to the laudable objects for which the Festi.

President LoRp's PAMPHLET ON SLAv-
Ely. President Lord OF Dartmouth College,
published pamphlet not long ago, OF a
strong pro-siavefy character, which il is

Among The Questions considered in this
pamphlet, are these, on all Of which, rs we
hear, and rs indeed, is clear from the mode
OF statement, the President, took the pro.
slavery side.
]. Whether it does no, especially con-
ccTu ministers Of the Gospel to consider
the question Of slavery from lis origin and
foundations, as aquestion OF Divine right,
rather than oil prudence, policy, or econo-
my-a question of he diyiniiies. rather than
the humdniiies.
.. Whether slavery is no, an institution
of God according TO Natural Rehgion'
3. Whether slavery !, not also positive
institution Of RereGied Reiigiont
President Lord has entertained for some
time, some very singular notions respecting
mankind and their progress towards periec-
ton. lie thinks The world is going back
ward into a state Of uhmiliga,ed wickedncss,
and tia, all the appaTen, evidences 10 the
contrary aud false witnesses. In regard to
the matter Of Slavery however, he does not
sand much worse than the Rev. Mr.. BlaS-
den, and few Others OF the New England
clergy who, ifihey do not look upon Slave
ry As God appointed institution, and open

exculpaiing the shareholders from lis gull,

very little account as n sin. We believe
that the creates, promoters Of ,nfdeli,y and
skep,icism are these clersymen, and their
influence in the wrong direction mos, per-
nicious. Happily bu, few Of our Clergy
men entertain such notions as either Presi-
dent Lord or Rev. Mr.. Blasden.
