The NEwRunYroRr IScESpIARY.--For if-
teen or twenty years Newburyport has had an
inccndiary. Four churches and smaller struc-
ures unnumbered, have pcrished by his de.
stroying hand. lie takes pride in his work,
and in the system and seeresy with which he
docs it, Every fire of the long series has been
set by the mysterious man himself, is, In each
instance, filed with kerosene oil, saturated
kindling wood, and other highly iniammable
substances. candle end is placed in this,
and SO lighted that in n fow minutes the whole
will bo in flames. Year after year, at irregular
intervals, this little contrivance is employed
in tho work Of destruction which this man is
bent upon. After every conquered FIRE, this
little box is found where the eonaagration
began; yet in all this time tho man who makes
the boxes, who carries them about and fires
them, has successfully defed all agencies of
discovery.

TuE SALE or raE CoLuNBrA CAxAL.-The
Columbia Phonir, of yesterday, says:
We learn that the Commissioners appointed
or the disposal of the Columbia Canal, (some
dissatisfaction being expressed upon what was
considered their premature action,) re-opened
the bids yesterday, and upon full considera-
ton Of oil that were subsequently, received,
re-affirmed their former acceptance; and 1t
may now be considered definitely determined
that the canal property will go into the hands
of Colonel Pierce, who will be assisted in its
development by Governor Sprague, the nils
lion aire manufacturer of Rhode Island. This
is one of the most important transactions for
the advancement of the materii al interests Of
Columbia which has ever been consummatcd
We may now confidently look for the early
appearance of that "good time eomng,"
which has been sighed for by so many. From
all We can learn Of the parties connected with
the enterprise, we have reason to believe that
tho work of Improvement will be rapidly
pushed forward, and in a comparatively short
time. the bum of the spindle and tho click OF
the loom will be heard along the banks of this
hitherto almost useless stream. We are conf
| dent that the hearty sympathies and good
| wishes Of the entire community will follow the
| efforts of tho gentlemen connected With this
monster enterprise, and that the amplest sue
cess shall be their reward.

CARD THE Ccws.-One would think
that any kind.hesrted man. when he
sees how grateful this operation is to a
COW, would be willing to spend few
moments daily in carding her. II pays
as well TO clean cows as horses. All who
have fairly tried il find great benefit
from the operation. And vet not one
farmer In bundred makes 1t a prac.
tice TO use The card or curry comb in
the constable. We know stupid men
who laugh at the idea AS mere no
ton of some fancy farmer. But, in
point Of fact, no COW can give the best
results at the pail unless this matter is
attended to, especially 10 winter

Forty hands are employed in cutting and bun.

yerting II into fibre. It Is packed in bales Of
two hundred and fifty pounds by one of Inger-
soils. improved cotton and hay presses, and
has nothing but three iron hoops around II,
without bagging. Its carried from the mill
to, the wharf on the same cars that bring the
cane, and thus finds its way NORTH, whore IL
undergocs the process of "beating," and Is
there converted into course wrapping paper
or box paper. / believe 1t is the intention Of
the proprietor to put up q paper manufaetory
in connection with the mill. The guns are
firing all day and all night during overy Eve
minutes; and twenty FIVE tons Of fibre arc
blown out every twenty -four hours. It is cer-
tainly a novel invention, and very useful
one, rs ii gives employment to many hands,
and converts an entirely useless material into
something very useful. The lumbsr mills
here are quite extensive, md I'LL largo orders
North. The proprictors are making money.
There are other manufactures, but I cannot
occupy more timo and space In their dcscrip-
ton. / must not omit to mention what q
beautiful cemetery they have hero, and how

the city ought to fail to stroll out in that di-

The trade here Is mostly in naval storcs
lumber, and manufactured articles. On the
street this morning, saw on both sides, about
fifty L" dump CARTS" all loaded with ground

pavement all in a row, awaiting some pur-
chaser. They get about $l.75 per bushcl,
and large quantities come in every day Mt this
season. On the wharves are large numbers OF
turpcntine and rosin barrels, and here and
there few bales Of cotton. Now, Mcssrs.
