HEREAS a certain BENJAMIN

for Healing a faille and bridle out of the borough
of Lancaster, belonging to the subscriber; and said
Smith made his escape and left at the afmefaid
house a grey horse, and some eloaths, such as jackets,
Ihirts and Hockings, which were advertised in the
Gazette immediately after, and no person since has
appeared to claim any of ;hem : This is therefore
to give public notice, that they will be fold in three
weeks from this date, for the cost and charges that
have accrued, by JAMES MERCER.
For tk E ^NTERTAIKMENT
Of the CURIOUS.
MR. KINNERSLEY having lately made
fame considerable addition to his Electrical
Apparatus, particularly, having added an elegant
case of seventy bottles, each lined and coated with
tinfoil ; he proposes to exhibit a course of E LEC
TRICAL EXPERIMENT S, at the College
in this city, on Monday and Tuelday next week ;
and again on the following Wednesday and Friday ;
to begin at fix o'clock in the evening. In this
course, confining of only two lectures, above forty
curious and interesting experiments will be exhibit
ed, tending to fliow the nature and properties of
lightning, and, which is of the greatest importance,
how to avoid the danger of it ; —how to secure
houses, mips, &c. from receiving any damage by
lightning.
Fhe following particulars will, it is presumed, be
thought no inconsiderable part of this Electrical
Experiment, viz. Flalhes of real lightning visible
under water. Iron heated red hot, and even melt
ed by lightning, whilst under, and in contact with,
comthon cold water. Experiments on that wonder
ful eleCtric stone, from the Eift-Indies, called the
Tourmalin, which will become elearifed bv being
dipt in boiling Water ; one fide eledrifed positively,
the other negatively. A curious representation of
the aftoniShing eleCtric Eel, lately seen in this city;
on touching of which, while in the water, an elec
tric Shock may be as sensibly felt, as from a live one.
A representation of part of the Harry heavens, ex
hibiting a variety of beautiful dearie Gars.
As the knowledge of Nature tends to enlarge the
human mind, and give us more noble and exalted
ideas of the Author of Nature, and, if well pur
sued, seldom fails producing something ufeful to
man ; it is hoped that an entertainment cf Such a
tendency, will meet with Suitable encouragement.
Those Gentlemen and Ladies who purpose to attend
these lectures, are requested to be furnished with
tickets, that no money may be taken at the door.
Tickets may be had at the bar of the London Coffee
houfe, and at Mr. Kinnerfley' shoufe near the. Col
lege, at Half a Dollar for each lecture.
N. B, Electrical Experiments cannot be well ex
hibited in, damp or wet weather; therefore if either
of the evenings above appointed Should not prove
dry enough, the exhibition mult be deferred till
some dry evening after. The firft lecture of each
course to be on Monday and Wednesday evenings;
second lecture on Tuesday and Friday evenings.
TOBE SO L D,
And poSfeflion given in February next, or sooner if
required,
THE FURNACE Situated in the township
of Salisbury, and province of Connecticut,
New-England, having been lately rebuilt on the
molt approved plan, all the conveniences about the
lame being either new or in good repair, together
with all the utensils, and a compleat Set of patterns
for hollow ware and other castings; the foJe proper
ty of a piece of water from which the furnace is sup
plied, the area measuring 600 acres; a mansion-house
most agreeably Situated, consisting of four rooms on
a floor, a good garden and other conveniences ; two
other houses for workmen, a store completely fitted
for English and Weft-India goods and pravificns, a
compting-houfe, &c. a large barn, with Stabling
for horses and oxen : Also, a property in the bed
of iron ore in said Salisbury, known by the Ore
Grant, with an exclusive right of digging, raising
and carrying away ore from another bed known by
Chatfield's Ore Bed, and the right of foil in a piece
of land joining weft on the Ore Grant, which con
tains iron ore; thete beds all lye within two miles
from the furnace (the roads good): Also 753 acres
of land, 300 of which is under improvement, and
the whole well watered. The premises are Situated
in a healthy, fruitful and pltafant country, on the
high road from Hartford to Hudson's river and Al
bany, dillant about 30 miles from the river. The
quality of the iron made from the above ore is well
known, both in England and America, to be equal
to any made on this continent: The quantity of ore,
which lays near the Surface, appears inexhaustible,
the country round is well supplied with wood for
coal, and the regular supply of water at all seasons
(without danger from floods) admits of the furnace
being in blast all the year: The iron is excellent for
pot-ath kettles, fu.;ar boilers for the Weft-Indies,
and military stores: The furnace not taking all the
water, any additional works might be erected with
great convenience and small expence : The rapid
Settlement of an extensive count.y to the north and
north weft, must daily increase the demand for eve
ry article usually cast at a furnace 1 An extensive
trade may be introduced in Englifn and Welt-India
goods, out of which the works might be supplied
with dock and provisions, and carried on with more
profit than such business can be in a country where
there are few inhabitants.
Also to be SOLD, a compleat double forge,
with four fires and two hammers, new at work, to
gether with all necelfary utensils, Situated in Cole
brook, Connecticut, near the road from Hartford
to the Furnace, built in 17,1 after the belt model,
with a good stream and head of water, and in case
of need (in very dry seasons) the privilege cf a pond
of water 5 miles in length for supply of said forge ;
the like caution is observed to prevent the business
being retarded in winter, by having the wheels un
der cover, with large iron stoves, and canals cut to
take the surplus water. Adjacent to the forge there
is a dwelling-house, with four rooms on a floor, a
Hore and cellar, four houses for workmen, a barn,
cole-houfe, iron-house and black-Smiths shop, all
built in 1771; also a Saw mill and dwelling-boule
at a small distance from the forge, with good fitua-
Etions for erecting other works on the fame Stream,
together with 289 acres of land round the forge and
saw mill, about 50 of which are under improvement.
The forge is Situated in the center of a large tra&
of wood land, Surrounded with a cultivated coun
try which is in want of bar iron, there being very
little refined bar iron manufactured in Connecticut,
and the consumption considerable. This eHate,
joined with that at Salisbury, is capable of many
improvements. For further particulars apply to
Mr. Charles Startin, merchant, in Philadel
phia, Mr. Peter Vandervoort, merchant, in
New-York, Mr. James Holmes at the furnace,
Mr. Jacob Ogden at the forge, orCapt. William
Tiley in Hartford.
