WHEREAS there will be wanted this pre
sent year, in and near this city, above
Two Thousand Cords of Spanish white-oak, beech
and hemlock BARK, for which good prices and
ready money are given ; it is to be hoped, that all
persons who have timber of those kinds to cut, and
are convenient to navigation or land carriage to

son and get the bark, as they will not only find
their own advantage therein, but will also have the
fatisfa&ion of contributing to public utility, by
furnishing the manufacturers of leather with so
scarce and necessary an article, and the bark, if
kept dry, will receive no damage by keeping; a
quantity thereof, in any person's possession, may
be always considered as ready cash, and brought to
