place, but we have not been able
to trace them to any source wor

that the alarm this di ease usu

been the occasion of most of the
groundless reports, respecting
it. We have taken some pains
to ascertain cortectly the fact
•on this subject, and we fee! gra
nified, in being able to state, that
not a single case of smallpox

to any Os the Physicians qf this
place—-and it is likely that
the report of its hawing appeared
in the up country, is, ariso un

NATURAL HISTORY.
From the National Intelligencer*
I have*seen Shad taken from the ri
ver Savannah, at Augusta, on the 2oth
of January , iSQ2, at %he distance of a
bout ISO miles, in a right line, above
thC mouth of that river—lt is believed
th it this fisn is never found in any ri
ver \vhich is discharged into the Allan-*
t|C, westward .of Cape Florida. It is
fjljpt taken »n Connecticut river until
! April. ‘ As the National Intelligencer,
; has a very extensiVe circulation, I wish
[to the attention of gentlemen to

Command of the divine author of that

time go into a calculation of what has
been lost in New-England, that might
have been saved in the article of hogs’
bristles. It may however be useful to
turn the attention of our farmers and
their children to this subject in future.
Facts always afford the best data for
calculation lhe present market price,
of hog** bristles is, as I am informed, 75
cents a pound When we consider
what quantities ars» used for brushes,
there is no probability df a decrease
w the price ol bristles, especially as
brushes q/ every description are manu
factured, arid will contipui to be in this ‘
country, probab.y to the extent of the
bristles which the country will furnish.-
It is believed to be a fair estimate to
state the average value of the bristles
that might be saved by our farmers
from each swine they kill, at least 50
cents. - *
This saving ittight be made, compa
ratively wi hout labor or expence.i If
not an object worthy the attention of
the affluent farmer, it might be to hix
children, who ought to be taught the
good maxims of Poor Richard. “ A pen*
