THE fubferiber being at the house of Isaac
Smith, Esq. in Hopewell, Hunterdon coun
ty, New-Jersey, was last night about 12 o'clock,
by a number of armed men, robbed of a silver watch
with a silver seal thereto, that has the letters E P
thereon in a cypher; the watch runs on diamonds,
and the silver on the button of the case, by frequent
prefling to open it, is partly wore off, so that there
is the appearance of something like red dealing wax.
Whoever shall recover and deliver said watch to
the said Isaac Smith in Hopewell, or the fubferiber
in Philadelphia, shall have half a Johannes reward.
EDWD. PENINGTON.
N. B. The said armed men also took fix silver
Dollars from the fubferiber, which, if recovered,
shall be given in addition to the reward aforefaid,
on the delivery of the watch as above.

A VALUABLE farm, containing one hundred
and thirty-three acres, joining the south branch
of Raritan, in the township of Reading, and coun
ty of Hunterdon, about three miles from Fleming
ton, there is between thirty and sixty acres cleared,
half of which is low land and meadow, and the rest
very good timber land, and there is on laid farm a
very good gristmill, and a new sawmill, both in
very good repair, and in a healthy part of the coun
try, and in a very good place for cuftqm for both
mills; it lies in a thick fettled neighbourhood, and
timber plenty, and likewise a new dwelling-house,
two stories high, with three rooms on a floor, and
a good cellar, barn, and other out houses very suita
ble for a store, as there has been one kept for many
years pad, and a young bearing orchard of about
one hundred and twenty trees, and a well of excel
lent water by the door. For further particulars en
quire of the fubferiber, living on the premises, who
will give an indisputable title for the fame.

taxes to be r^fed for the present year will fall hea
vy, and there will naturally be some difficulty in
paying them, yet the difficulty, in proportion as
money spreads about the country, will every day
grow lels, and in the end we shall save some Mil
lions of Dollars by it. We fee what a bitter, re
vengeful enemy we have to deal with, and any ex
pence is cheap compared to their merciless paw.
We have seen the unfortunate Carolinians hunted
like partridges on the mountains, and it is only by
providing means for our defence that we shall not
be in the fame condition. When we think or talk
about taxes, we ought to recoiled that we lie down
in peace, and sleep in fafety; that we can follow
our farms or stores, or o;her occupations, in pros
perous tranquility; and that these inestimable bless
ings are procured to us by the taxes that we pay.
In this view, our taxes are properly our infurance
money ; they are what we pay to be made fafe, and
in drift policy are the best money we can lay out.
It was my intention to offer some remarks on the
impost law of five per cent, recommended by Con
gress and to be established as a fund for the pay
ment of the loan-office certificates and other debts
of the United States; but I have already extended
my piece beyond my intention. And as this fund
will make our system of finance complete, and is
ftridly just, and consequently requires nothing but
honesty to do it, there needs but little to be laid
upon it.
