The fainc gentleman who some time
ago sent from Scotland to Dr. Mitchill
the book, part of whose paper was
blri -hed by the oxygenated muriatid
acid, according to the newproccfs ; has
lately sent him a cutt of Ltnnen-yarn
spun upon a hand-mill, of thirty-two
spindles ; that is a machine that spins
thirty-two linnen threads at once and
goes by hand ; —which is quite a new
discovery by one Henry of Kirkaldie.
The following entradt from a letter re
ceived very lately by Dr. Mitchill from
Edinburgh contains an account of two
important inventions, " Mills for comb
mg wool by water are erecting fall in
England.—Mills to go by water for
Spinning flax into Einnen-yarn aie erec
ted at Aberdeen, Forfar, Montrofe,
Leven, Kinghorii, Dumferiine, &c. in
■Scotland, and several more are getting
up; Several have also been eretled in
the Nerth of England ; I dont know
of an y.' n eland yet:—All the yarn 1
they spin is coarse. When the Cotton- <
5? were firft erected in England, they ;

oually came on to spin finer and finer..— 1

WARREN, (R. I.) Dec. 6.
Geneva was formerly called a free
republic. It was the feat of science,
and the retreat of the literati of Francc,
the Voltaires and RoufTeaus, when per
feeuted by the doftorsofthe Sorbonne,
for the freedom of their writings. The
p»puiace have now found out that the
govrnment is ariltocratical and tyran
nical. This may be so } but what fljall
we fay of rcvohitionifts,whoopenly
avow the doctrine of leveling the aril
tocracy of manners, of riches, and of
talents ? No goc>d man can hear such
doctrine without dreading revolutions.
'' 1 he weight of three Swine fatten
ed in Dighton,, are as follows : one 541
and an half, one 461, and -the other
2b 7 pounds—seventeen and an half
months old, and of the China breed }
the latter produced five pigt, the u eight
ot eac.i 12olb. at five and an half months
old. The weight of the whole 1889 1-2
pounds.
" On inquiry into the mode by which
so much pork was produced from so
xew hogs in so (hort a time,- the answer
is 5 that the swine mentioned have been
always penned, and hare never been
permitted ta go from their pen, except
in the heat ot the season to a river to
cool themselves: and that they have
been always so filled as to be ever easy
and at 'eft.
" Farmers, fertiembitv and you will
save nearly one half the expense in mak
ing yotir pork ; as wefl as much trou
ble and injury by your swine running
at large. Only begin ini this way by
one half the swine you usually keep,
and experience will inform you."
