SELF WINDING clock. We take
the following notice from the Utica
Herald:
"Thc most rovel invention on exhi.
bition is certainly the air self winding
clock of r. Hitchcock, Of Waterfowl.
If not perpetual motion itself, it is as
near it as approach is likely to be made.
We understand the model ran eight
months without winding or repair, and
was then taken down for removal to
the Patent Office. The motive power
is obtained from wheel placed in the
ventilator Of the room, where sufi.
cient current Of air is always found !;
this, connected with the clock-work,
keeps it continually wound up. So
satisfactory is the working of the prin-
ciple, and so confident are experiences
mechanics of its practical value, that

In THE CouN7RY.-O Our reporter paid few
days visit to the country, this week, passing
through portion of the counties of Musca-
tine and Louisa. The farmers generally are
delayed in their operations, though on the
Iowa river, and also in the forks Of the Cedar
and Iowa, many of them have their seeding
done, and others are proceeding actively, the
nature of the soil being such as to admit of
ploughing while in other sections it is utterly
out of the question. The prospects of large
corn crop, should the wet weather cease in a
reasonable time, are very goud though it will
probably fall short of last years yield.
The Iowa and Cedar rivers are falling
rapidly, though they are still at "a high stage.
A number of boats have gone up the latter
Tor produce, and will probably load at Cedar
RAPIDS with wheat and corn.
"A workman employed in the steam saw
mill at Fredonia had one of his hands badly
mangled, yesterday, while engaged in fling
the saw; and Jas. Waterbury, Esq, mer-
chant, OF the same village, whose heart had
been badly lacerated by IN arrow from
Cupid's bow, as remedy took to himself as
a better half: one Of the charming damsels
of the vicinity
The people of the rural districts, with
few exception$ endorse the present attitude
OF the Administration, and are to man for
holding the fofts at all risks. The pure air
of the Iowa pfairies is not contaminated by
very great number of corrupt sy npathizers
with traitors.
