mo ALL WHOM I'm MAY CoNCERN.--

ITO ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN
Il hereby make known TO the public that
have obtained a Patent from the United States
for an improved Saw, and am now ready 10 dis
pose of rights, furnish those with Saws who
wish to 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 as a mortising chsel, 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; 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 &C.
cordng 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 10 any mill.

A Little Boy, aged about seven years, who
had been an inmate OF the aims -house for nearly
one-fourth that period of time, was, on Saturday
last taken from that institution by his father, and
conducted to his miserable home--the home OF the
confirmed drunkard; but, not being content with
the treatment which he received from his worth
less parent he left the house. A police officer
having captured the runaway, restored him TO his
father, who chastised the child in a rude manner
for his conduct. On Tuesday night he sent him
to purchase whiskey, but, instead Of doing so, the
Juvenile, as soon as he was beyond observation,
purposely broke the jug, for the reason, as he
subsequently said, "When father drinks he whips
my poor mother who is sick in her bed" On the
return of the boy, the enraged brute rushed upon
his tender boy, and beat him shockingly for dlsre-
gardng his unholy commands. The little fellow
again fed from the premises, and took refuge in
the dwelling ofoficer James Allen, who conduct
ed him to the guard house. After remaining there
throughout the night, Captain Birch committed
him to the Washington asylum, where he will be
cared for in the aims department of that institu-
ton.

Smithsonian Instituti0n.-We have recently
seen printed copy of the eighth annual report OF
the board OF regents Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, showing the operations, expenditures, and
condition of the institution up 10 January /, 1854,
and the proceedings OF the board to the 9Th July
last.
The managers, according to the report of the Sc
cretary, Prof Henry " are overwhelmed with sug-
gestons, and subjected to illibera criticisms and,
unless they are firmly convinced of the propriety
of their course, and have sufficient moral courage
10 pursue it Notwithstanding opposition there is
danger of vacilIation, and of an attempt to gain
popularity by adopting measures not calculated to
promote the desired end" He says that James
Smithson left his property to found an establish
ment which shall bear his own name, and have for
among men, and therefore I" it would evidentlybe
incompatible with an enlarged and just interpre-
tation of this will TO confne its benefits exclusively
to one people, and especially would it be unworthy
the character of a great nation to accept the adj
minislration of bequest intended for the good of
mankind and apply it exclusively to lis own use.'
The institution is conducted on the basis thus
laid down by the Secretary, and its transactions
are far better known in the scientific world than
among the great mass ofthe people Of this coun-
try. Publications, in printed form, made from
time to time, of phenomena in all the departments
of phiIosophic investigation, and these are distr-
buted among institutions of profound learning
throughout, the world, which recprocate by ex-
changes of their scientific works. Thus dstrbu-
tons and exchanges constitute prominent fea-
ture OF the organization, and the institution now
