The Inclined Water Wlieel.
PATENT.
rHIHiS va'.uab'.ts improvvincut in the application
JiL of water o wer, is now comj leted and in suc
cessful operation at the Cool Spring, Mills in ibis
Town. The invention was designed to save water
in its operation, and thereby remedy the difficulty
now existing on a-. count of its scarcity. This wheel
will pcrfoim the same labor with less than half the
water required to drive the tub-wheel, and if ap
plied in place of the flutter-wheel the snvmg must
be stid ereater. The number of Mills 'now in op
eration by these wheels) thai become scarce ofwa
ter in the summer, is supposed to average 80 or 90
per cent, lllheso Mills can be succcesi'uily operat
ed with even half the water now required, it is ob
vious that the supply of water will be abundant.
The Inclined Water Wheel in its construction
can be placed at any elevation to suit the condtiion
of the pond, tboreby securing a suiiicient head above
the wheel, which is important to all mills where
the water is at any time liable to become scarce. In
this p:i riicular the Inclined -cater wheel has a decid
ed advantage above the Overshot, which requires a
sufficient fall and constancy of water, and is also
expensive in its construction : Whereas, the In
clined Water Wheel can be built at much less ex
pense can be successful! v a ;hed to any mill or
machinery that is propelled bv water, an ! will run
we!! in back water. This Wheel is said to rank in
power with a high breast wheel, and can be geared
with ruber cogs or bands, but the latter being con
sidered cb";-per and more durable, I have adopted
them. Having obtained a Patent i n December last,
have abstained irom giving publicity to the inven
tion, or offering to sell any R'ghts, i:.td others, as
well a? myself, should become satisfied of its aiivan -taies.
I am now ready to dispose of tiie richt to
ise sai l invention by counties, districts and Slates
as also single rights. .Millwrights, Mill owners,
and the public sjenerally are invited to call and ex
amine the invention.
The machinery, as represented in the plate
nbove, can be made more simple, by which one
halfofthe expense of construction will be di
minished, hut the amount of water saved will be
less. 1 shall have both modes of construction with a
statement of materials for each, printed in hand
bills, which I desitrn for those who wish further in
formation on (he subject. JOHN T. GILMORE.

A GENHNE YANKEE.
Whoever travels through nny ol the New
England Slates aud twigs as lie journeys the
eccentricities of some of the natives', cannot
but be unused, aud may derive, many new
idep.s in respect to etymology and diversity
of chsrii,-tor.
Sometime since an acquaintance of ours
set out on hor.-tdwick from the ens'.crt) pat t l
iMassachiistfis Cur the (Irceit Momitrtin ol
Vermont. Whiie (ravelling through the town
of Now Salem his road led iulo a piece ot"
woods some five miles in length, nnd hmg
before he got out of which he began to cuter
tain doubts whether he should be biesl with
the sight of a human habitation; bul as ah
things mtist have an end, so at last the woods,
and the nul brown house of a farmer greeted
his vision. Near the road was a tal! raw
honed, overgrown, lantern-jawed b"V, proba
bly 17 years of age, digging potatoes. Ilo
wa a curious figure to behold. What was
lackiug in the length of his low-brceches was
amply made up for behind ; his suspenders
appeared to be composed of bitch bark, grape
vine, and sheep skin ; and for his hat, which
was of dingy white lclt poor thing it had
once evidently seen better days, but uo-w,
alas! it was the only shadow of its ghr.
Whether the tempest of time had beaten the
lop in, or the lad's expanding genius had
Iurst it out, was difficult to tell ; at any r:;U,
it was missing aud thiough the aperture red
hai.-s .stood six ways foi Sunday. In short
ho was one of the roughest specimens of do
mestic manufacture that mortal ever beheld.
Our travelling friend, itching to scrape ac
quaintance with the critter, drew up the reins
of his horse aud began:
'Hallo, mv good friend, can you inform rne
how far it is to the next house.'"
Jonathan started up leaned on his hoe
handle, rested one foot on the gamble of his
sinister leg, and replied :
'Hullo yourself! how'd do? Well I guess
I can. Taint near so far as it used to be
afore they cut tho woods away then 'twas
generally reckoned 4 miles, but now the sun
shrivels up lho road, and dou't make more'u

barn, and the next is a haystack ; but old
Ilosbin's houso on beyent. You'll be sure
to meet his gals long afore you get there:

more'n little. His sheep gel into our pasture

sets the dogs arter the sheep and me inter the
gals and tho way we make the wool and
petticoats fly, is a sin to snakes.'
'I see you are inclined to he facetious,

one of your leg is shotler than the other.'

IRISH HULLS.
Under this head, we confess our convic
tion that it is not very easy to exhibit Irish
bulls so original that they caniut be matched
both for size and spirit by others of a foicign
breed.
Take fiom an Irish newspaper the follow
ing advi rtisemcnt of lands to be let Ut an im
proving tenant. 'A few miles from Coik, in
a most spoiling country, bounded by an un
common tin f bog, on the verge of which there
a'e a number of fine lime-kilns, ht:e that
marline may tie hud on veiy moderate term-.,
the distance for carriage not being many hun
dred yards. The whole lands being now iu
great heart and completely laid down, entirely
turrouuded and divided by impenetrable
fmy.e ditches, mado of quarried tsX-nie laid
edgpways.'
This bull ccitainly looks v my finely, bul
we have met with one of LLnglifh breed, who
trots well by bis side. Dr. Grey, in his
notes on Huilibras, records the deposition of

An Irishman was asked how hismoihrr

C C. Ihnleigh, Ilsq., gives in the Yoifi
of Freedom, published at Brand m, Yl., fn
following sketch tit a sermon preached by
very honest so: I of :i man who is :t tbii-vin:
f.u mer, but thinks he Iws ;t " call" cveiv Sub

one of the most original disc inses we eve:
lead :

show that man is an outdouo ci ittcr ; second
ly, .that a Saviour lias been pcrwided ; a;.;
thirdly, how ho is to git out of This pickle."'
Having thus, in the mo-l approved mannc:.
laid out his woiU, ho i-outiuued hi the foiJow

" It is recorded somewhere in the good
sciipturc, I think it is i her iu tho Sams ot
the book of St. Acts, that man w as fu.st creat
ed upa ndieuliir, but he has found out innnv
sorts of contrivances. Now, my friends, I
hold that about the biggest of these contri
vances are sin. Siu, my hearers, a-re eetdi
tiari and seodi'ion is the old Adam '.he
evil seed tho tares and the wheat don't you
see ? Siu, my friends, h is cost the wcild a
good deal. It coMs a man more than it would
to keep a cow ye-, oven i; she sot her foot
in a pail ol new milk every other niht, and
would hook down rail fence like a taniai snr
peut. Don't you see how looii.-di it is, then ?
V hy, o t can't compute what a nation ol hurt
it has done !. tho alf.h nnd ail that's in it. Il
is hadu't buea for sin, there never v. ouI-J havo
Leon any tti'ihqnukes, i-or thunder, nor rain,

Don Quixote. When a man u isfakes
his thoughts for persons and things, he is mad.
A madman is ropeilv so defined. Don
Quixote is not a man out of hid senses, but
a man in whom tho imagination and the piuo
reason arc so powerful as to make him disre
gard the evidence of srne, wheu it opposed
their conclusions. Sancho Ts the common
