It will take from the sheaf two hundred bushels of wheat, and prepare it for the mill in cue day, with the

A recent Continential traveller relates the following ludicrous mo le of shoeing a horse in tierinany: "As soon as breakfast was over I generally enjoyed the luxury of riding about town, and in passing the shop of a blacksmith the manner in which he tackled and shod a
vicious horse amused me. On the outside of
the wall of the house two rii.g-1 were firmly

was lashed close to the ground; the hind foot to be shod, stretched out to the utmost extent of the leg, was then secured by the other ring, about five feet high., by a cord which passed through a cloven hitch, fixed to the root of the
poor creature's tail. The hind foot was conse- . quently very much higher than the head; inI deed it was exalted, and pulled so heavily at the tail that the animal seemed to b quite anxious i to keep his other feet on Wra firmi. With one j foot in the heavens, it did not r.uit him to kick ; i with his nose pointing to the infernal regions, he could not conveniently rear; and as a heavy i hand was apparently pulling at his tail, the horse at last gave up the point, and quietly subi mittod to b- shod."

The fire still continued with unabated fury, and the eng ines bad little effect; something like 200 houses being already destroyed, merchants in State street began clearing their stores of goods. At 5 o'clock, the fire had extended to the head of Hudson st. all b low being in ashes. A tem
pest had been rapidly gathering, and rain commenced pouring down in torrents, but seemed only to increase the fury of the devouring element. The wind just now began changing, and hopes were entertained that Hudson t-t. would stop the destruction. This hope, however, as doomed to be blasted. The Amies continued to advance, steadily and unbroken, until o'clock P. M. they were within geveu or rij;ht
