From the Arctic Sea.

New YORK, Oct. 27--The British steamship
Peytona arrived at San Francisco from the Sand
witch Islands. She brings intelligence of the
long missing Arctic ship Enterprise, which ar
rived at Port Clarenel the 2lst Of August. She
only lost three men during the whole time. She
brings no news of Franklin.
" The Enterprise went into the Arctic sea in the
summer Of eighteen hundred and ffty-one and
passed through the Prince Of Waless Strait, but,
finding the ice impractcable, passed the winter Of
ffty.one and two in latitude seveniyone degrees
thirty-fve minutes north, longitude one hundred
and seventeen degrees thirty-fve minutes west
After making every exertion TO accomplish the
object Of her voyage, she passed the winter OF
ffty-two and three at Wollaston bay, sixty-nine
degrees north, and one hundred and thirty west
The winter Of ffty-three and four found her in
Camden Bay, seventy eight degrees NORTH and
one hundred and forty-fve west. The ice re-

III Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention. moi only
by Of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are great number Of people who are sf-
hcted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy Of his ''rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed, has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard Of it,
From own knowledge Of Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor il receives, aud that il will
prove TO be a great benefit to all who may give il
a trial.-Lynn Netcs, December %, 1853.

A Rogue Foiled.-one day this week two
ladies, zone Of them the wife Of DIR. BEAM living
in Prince Georges county, Maryland, came to this
city to make purchases. While buying watch
and other articles ofjewelry, they noticed fellow
near by, iniently gazing at their movements; and
in the course Of their shopping operations in VA
rious stores, the individual intruded himself
in their presence, much to their annoyance. Hav-
ing acquired all the information which he sought,
he disappeared TO enter into arrangements for pos
sessing himself Of the valuabes, as the sequel
proved. Towards sunset the ladies', in their car
risge, started homewards, and had scarcely en-
tered into wood, when they saw the villain who
had been watching them, emerge from behind a
tree, with his hand extended 10 siezc the bride.
The ladies', percciving his movement, ordered the
driver 10 quicken the speed Of the horses which
he did and by this means the rogue was foiled in
his scheme Of plumber.

II | hereby make known 10 the public that
have obtained Patent from the United States
for an improved Saw and am 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, 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 mortising chisel, and cutting chip or
core Of the thickness that each tooth stands
in advance of the one next behind il the cutting
part Of each tooth is exactly vertical; and, not
withstanding, each tooth advances in front of the
one next behind it 1; the blade Of the Saw 10 be Of
equal width, requiring the back Of the Saw TO be
inclined forward. The size OF the opening be-
tween the teeth to be increased or reduced, &C.
cording to the length Of the Saw and size of the
timber 10 be cut, so that each space between the
teeth shall be capable of holding the entire chip
or core that the tooth behind il may cut off. The
Saw is capable OF being attached TO any mill.
