From the I'eople's Magazine. DLXTEKITY OF A GOAT, A correspondent informs us, that when in India, he was often amused by a juggler who came under the windows with a goat and a basket of blocks, one inch square, but very accurately levelled. Placing the four feet of a goat closely together on one block, he added others uo der, in surcessicn, till the goat was mounted in the air to the second story ! The animal was small and well tutored but even then it always seemed a most remarkable feat. Dr. Clark in his Travels describes a similar exhibition. "Upon our road from Jerusalem to Bethlehem." says this witter, we met an Arab with a goat, which

he led about the country for exhibition, ia order to gain a livelihood for itself and owner. He had taught this animal, while he accompanied its movements with a song, to mount upon little cylindrical blocks of wood, placed successively ope above the other, an I in shape resembling the dice boxes belonging to a backgammon table. In this manner the goat stood,

first upon the top of one cylinder, then upon the top of two, and afterward of three, four, five and six, until it remained balanced upon the top of them all, elevated several feet fiom the ground, and with its feet collected upon a single point without throwing down the disjointed fabric upon which it stool. The practice is very ancient. Nothing can show more strikingly the tenacious footing possessed

by this quadruped upon the jutty points and crags of rocks; and the circumstance of its ability to remain then thus poised may render its appearance less surprising as it is sometimes seen in the Alps, and in all mountainous countries, with hardly any place for its feet, upon the sides and by the brink of most tremendous precipices The. diameter of the upper c inder, on which its feet ultimately remain, ed until the Arab had ended his ditty, was only two inches, and the length of each cylinder was six inches."

From the .Vest' York Daily Advertiser. It seems very extraordinary, that among the vast variety of inventions to save, la bor, no device has been hit upon, especially in a dace where there is so much building constantly going on as there is in this city, to avoid the toil and risk of carrying up the materials by hand. A great proportion of the edifices recently erected in the lower parts ol the citv, are from four to six stones high. The labour and fatigue of carrying brick and mortar io such a height aie extremely great, and they are attended by much risk to the limbs and lives of the labourers On Saturday last, a laborer fell from the fifth or sixth story of a new building which is going up on the sile where the Jews' Synagogue lately stood, to the bottom.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. Thf London Correspondent, of ihe Journal of Commerce, mentions, on authority of a Salisbury (Eug ) paper,a most important discovery, which, if it realizes the anticipations of the inventor, must remove the only obstacle to the triumph of steam navigation. This is a new mode of producing heat, by which both wood and coal are to be superseded. The principal ingredient is water. The only material required be sides, is something in a liquid form, which contains a large quantity of carbon; whale oil, tar, or almost any thing of a similar kind, will answer the purpose. As these

materials are put into the furnace simultaneously, and in combination with each other, the one y ields its carbon, while the other gives out its hydrogen, and a small portion of atmospheric air is the only thing then required to keep them in a state of perfect combustion. The whiteness and intensity of the Game can hardly be imagined by any one who has not seen it, and yet it is so completely under management, that in one second it can be reduced or augmented as occasion may require. The account states that trorn the absence of all smoke, chimnies can be got rid of, and that a vessel may, without inconvenience, carry enough fuel to enable her to circum navigate the globe. The editor of the English paper also states, that at the Gas Works at Lymingfon, it had been in successful operation threfi mouths. Boston (.Uasi. ) Transcript

N'I'AVIiY THSCOVKIIED SUBSTANC E. Mr J. M.

I J LACK CHEitUY TREE. A medical correspondent ot the Coop frstown Watchlower, says that the bark of this tree is poisonous. He relates the case ot a young lady to whom he was lately called, and who, in consequence of drinking about half a pint of cider, taken from a closely stopped bottle filled the evening previous wiih cherry t aik fresh from the tree, was seized with vertigo, stupor and syncope, followed byrgreat difficulty of respira'ion and vomiting. Similar effects were produced in a slighter degree upon another person, who took from the same bottle a smaller draught of the cider. He says that the French chemists have recently ascertained that the delcteiious piinciple of cherry, laurel, and the kernel of ihe peach, is very analogous to prussic acid. This acid in its concentrated state, if a feather be dipped into it ami drawn across the eye of an animal, produces instant death Two drops, says the writer, have been known to kill a vigorous dog in a very few minutes.

CONSUMPTION. This distressing complaint, which carries off so many of our valuable young men annually, it is stated, in a well attest ed case, in a late number of the New England Farmer, has been cured by a very simple remedy, viz: the inhaling of the gaeons perfume of the Chloride of lime. The person whose case is here referred to. is 25 years old, had been much redu ced by the disease, his longs being badly ulcerated, and he daily became worse, so that his physicians gave him up for lost. It is supposed that he coughed up two quarts of matter from his lungs in the 24 hours. Having seen as account of the expert ment in Pulmonary complaints, made by Dr Cotlereau, of Paris, with Chloride of Lime, the friends of the young man had recourse to this simple remedy, from which the patient found immediate relit f; and is now daily regaining health and strength. The Chloride is dissolved in soft water, and then a little vinegar put to it, and applied to the nose by a rag, or in any other convenient way.
