NOTICE.
I tHF. simplified Portable Horse Saw Mill, advertis-
. ed in the National Intelligencer, is now improved,
and well adapted to the benefit and ease oFthe far
mer and mechanic; first on account of the cheapness
of its construction, as it has neither crauk or pitman,
or spur wheel, cog wheel, balance wheel, trnnnei head,
or wallower, and takes only sixteen sticks of timber to
compose the frame, exclusive of the gear works, to
drive two saws with considerable force, having but
little friction on account of the triflinggear works.—
Except the carriages, saw frames, and rag wheels,
there is hut one wheel for the horses to turn round,
with fifteen pegs stuck In the upper part of the rim,
which operate against two arras let through a long
beam extending over the centre of tbo wheel and
quite across the mill, and there ere only two other
arms let through this beam, one on each side, and at-
tached to the top of each saw frame, balancing each
other. As the lone beam is hung on gudgeons and
boxes at eacb end, and os ittakes no power, in aman-
ner, to raise up either of the saws, being on a balance,
if each gate weighed 1000 pounds,» man could work
them up and down with ease with one hand. That
being operated by this mode of balwicing, the whole
power of the team is applied in thrusting the saws thro
the wood, so that a continued stream of saw-dust, if
flying from either one saw or the «qual to the
rotary saw and much better adapted for sawing large
timber. To this cheap constructed Mill* I have now-
added two pumps for pumping of water, and two cut-
■ ig knives for cutting

Extract from “Sir Jonah Barrington's Per•
sonal Sketches of his own times."
In the year 1800, a laborer dwelling ne.tr
town of Athy, county Kildare, where
i of my family still reside, was walking
with his comrade up the banks of the Banow
to the farm of Mr. Richardson, on whose mea
dows they were employed to mow; each in tho
usual Irish way having his scythe loosely wag
ging over his shoulders, and lazily lounging
close to the bank of the river, they espied a
salmon parily hid under the bank. It the na
ture of this fish, that, when his head is con
cealed, he fancies uo one.can see his tnil—
(ihere are many wiseacres, besides the salmon,
of the same way of thinking.) On the present
occasion the body of the fish was seen.
“Oh Ned—Ned dear!” said one of the
mowers, “look at that big fellow there: is’nt
it a pity we In’nt no spear!"
"May be," said Ned, “we could bo after
piking the lad with the scythe handle."
“True for you!” said Dennis: “the spike of
your handle is longor nor mine; give the fel
low a dig with it at any rate.”
“Ay, will I,” returned the other; “I*JI give
the lad a prod he'll never forget any how.”
Tho pike and their sport was all they
thought of; but tbo blvde of the scythe, which
hung over Ned’s shoulders, never came inio
the contemplation of them. Ned cautiously
looked over the bank; the unconscious salmon
lay snug, little imagining the conspiracy that
had been formed against his taiL
“Now hit tho lad smart!" said Donnis:
“thore now—there! raise your first;—now
you have the boy! now Ned—success!"
Ned struck ut the salmuu with all his might
and main, and that was not trifling. But whe-.
tbor “the Boy” was piked or not nover ap
peared; for poor Ned, bending bis neck a& he
struck at the salmon, placed the vortebrs in
the most convenient position for unfurnishing
his shoulders; and his head camo tumbling
splash into the Barrow, to the utter astonish
ment of his comrndo, who could not conceive
how it coulcl drop off so suddenly. But the
next moment he had the satisfaction of seeing
tho head attended by one of his own ears,
which had been most dexterously sliced off,
by fiis comrade.
The head and ear rolled down tho rivor,
in company, and wero picked up with extreme
horror at the mill dam, near Mr. Richardson's
by one of tho miller’s men.
“Who the devil does this hoad belong to !”
exclaimed the miller.
“Whoever owned it," said tho man “had
three ears at any rate.”
., A search being now made, Ned's headless
body was discovered lying half over tho
br-nk, and Dennis in a swoon, through fr'ght
aud losj of blood, was found recuinbcut by
its s^e. Donnis, when brought to himself,
(which p-ocess was effected by whiskey) re
cited tlte whole udvanture.—^They tied up tho
head; tho body was attended by a numerous
assemblage of Nod's countrymen to tho grave;
ami the habit of carrying scythos caielessly
very much declined.”
Sir Jonah aid his lady, one morning tra
velling in the district where .his brother resid
ed determined to give h in a surprise of an
early visit. They arrive, as is most probable,
on the morning that ho had just r sen upon iho
ruins of a debauch, and had much difficulty in
restoring the bacchanhalinns to their walkin '
tt'tisus. In two instances it appears 10 have
been more easy to wake than to rouse the
guests, .
“All boine in. due order, we at length awa
kened Joe Kelly and Peter Alley, hi* neigh
bour—they hod slept soundly, though with no
other pillow than the wall; and ray brother
announced breakfast with t view hollo,i!
The twain immediately starle.l, aud roared
in unison with their host most tremendously 1
It was, however in a very different tone from
the view holloa,—and perpetuated much long
er.
“Come boys," says French, giving Joe a
pull—“coino.”
“Oh, murder! says Joe, “I can’t '."—“Mur
der!—Murder!" echoed Peter,—French pull
ed them again' upon which they roared the
more, still retaining their places.
I have in my life time laughed till I nearly
became spasmodic; but never wero my risible
musdos put to greater tension than upon this
occasion. The wall, as I said before, had
only that day received a coat of mortar, and
was of courso quite soft and yielding, when
Joe and Peter thought proper to make it their
pillow; it was nevertheless setting fast from
tho heat and lights of an eighteen hours’ ca
rousal; and, in tho morning when my brother
awakonod his- guests the mortar had com
pletely set, and their hair boing tho thing roost
calculated to amalgamate therewith, tho entire
of Joe's stock, together with his queue, and
half his head was thoroughly and irrevocably
bedded in tho greedy and now marble cement,
so that if determined to move, lie must havo
tho wall along with him, for separate it would
not. One side of Petor’s head was in the
same state of imprisonment. Nobody was a*
bio to assist thorn, and there they both stuck
fast,
A consultation was now held on this pitiful
caso, which I maliciously endeavored to pro
long as much as I could, and which was, in fact,
every now and thon interrupted by a roar front
Peter or Joo, as they mado fresh efforts to
rise. At length it was proposed by Dan Ty-
ron to send lor tho stono-cutter, and got him
to cut them out of tho wall with a chisel. I
was literally unable to speak two sentences
for laughing. Tho old woman in. the mean
while tried to soften the obdurate wall with
melted butter and new wilkr-but in vain, t
pumps for pumping of water,
ting knives for cuttinsstraw; and the grinding of grain,
and the washin^of clothes, are
such os
machines, &c. It is supposed that- — . w. , — —„ —
on this plan, will saw, in one, with two horses, from r j JB ^2 length it was proposed by Dan Ty-
* ■ and double that quantity - - — 1 —-
related, the school story how Hannibal had
worked through the Alps with hot vinegar
aud hot iron;—this experiment likewise was
made, but Hannibal’s solvent had no better
success than tho old crone’s.—Peter, being
of more passionate nature, grew ultimately
quite outrageous; he roared, gnashed his teeth,
and swore vengeance against the mason; but
as he was only held by one side, a though
at last struck him; ho asked for two knives,
which being brought, ho whetted one against
tho other, and introduced the blades close o
his skull, sawed away at cross corners 'ill ho
was liberated, with tha loss only of half fiis
hair and u pieco of his scalp, which he h id
sliced offi in zeal and haste for h>s l.berty. I
uover saw a fellow so extravagantly happy ?
Fur was scraped front the crown of a hit to
stop the bleeding; his head was duly tied up
with an old woman's pr tshcen; and he was
soon in a state of convalescence. Our soli
citude was now..required sulelv for Joe whose
head was too deeply buried to be exhn n ''e l
with so much facility. At this moment Bob
Casey of Biilyaiiktll, a very celebrated, w g
maker, just dropped in, to see win; he could
pick up honestly in the way of his profession,
or steal in the way of any ih.ng else; and lie
immediately undertook to get M , Kelly out
of the morter by i very expert but tod’ous
process, namely;—clipping with h‘*s scum
aud then root ng out w.tli an oyster knife. Ho
thus finally succeeded, in less than an hour,
in setting Jon once more at liberty, at tho
price of his queue, which was totally lost an l
at the exposure of his raw uni bleeding occi
put. The^pVvion wn, indoal, of a mo i*

ILLNESS AND DEATH OF MR. CANNING.
Wo had, Inst week the painful duty to srato
that this distinguished statesraiu had boon
seized with uu alarming illuoss, which threa
tened the most fatal consoquences. Tho me
lancholy intelligence produced a deep sensa
tion throuThout tho town, and it was every
where received with feelings of profouud re
gret. The state of t ie right honorable gentle
man’s health was tho general topic of.conver
sation during tho day. A hope was indulged,
however, that his life was not in such iminent
danger as represented in the letter of our pri
vate correspondent. The arrival of tho Lou
don journals of Monday and Tuesday evening,
with the bulletin winch had been issued by tho
physicians on Sunday night, destroyed ihc fond
hopes which tho friends of Mr. Cunning
had indulged of iiis ultimate rucovory to hoalth,
and of lais valuable lil'o boing spared to bene
fit his country and maukind. About noon, oa
that day, a report was very current, that an ex
press had reached the Custom house, bringing
au account that tho premier had actually ex
pired, at tho huur of five on Monday morning.
This story, which some mischievous individual
mast have invented to doccivo tho public, ob
tained general bolief. The first sensation of
regret.a; the reported melancholy event hav- .
mg subsided, persons began to speculate as to
who would be :M . Canning's successor iu tho
ministry. It was soan discovered, however,
that the report was a gross fabrication; and tho
arrival of the event ig papers brought me in
telligence, that he wis still alive, but without
any chance of recovery. The mail was sur
rounded on us arrival, by persons eager to .’-s-
ceruiu the nows; and all public r.ioms lvcro
thronged with gemiemen; so great was.thl in
terest taken by »iiu inhabitants ot L vori o ri in
the fate ol Mr. Canning. The public mind'
was kept in a state of altorn-itc hope uml fear
during die whole of Wednesday. On Thurs
day afternoon the melancholy foreboding* of
the public were realized by tho arrival of the
London stage coaches, bringing copies of the
second edition of the moruiug papers, which
contained tho sad tidiugs of the death of
the greatest statesman of modern timvs.—
The lamentable intelligence spread withsra-
pidity throughout tiio town, dud excited mo
liveliest regret among all classes of lira inliabt- •
tants. Tira mail was surrounded, ns on :he
preceding; and the news rooms wero m>e
crowded than on any occasion within oar re
membrance.
Mr. Canning is no more, Alas! little did
we expect, when, oa Monday last, wo announ
