ALL persons who have any demands against
the Estate of his late Excellency JOHN
HANCOCK, Esq. deceased, are requeued to
exhibit the fame to the Subfcriher, Attorney
to the Administratrix of said Estate : And all
persons who stand indebted to said Estate, are
reouefted to fetrle with him immediately; as the
Ast of Limitation of Actions, which is to take
place on the firft day of December next, will
otherwise render it necefTary for him 10 com
mence suits against them.
N. B The Printers throughout this Com
monwealth, are requcfted to infertthis in their
refpeftive newspapers, and forward Jheir ac
couuts for the fame, to J. M.
An Indian hatchet made of chryftal : It is
curious (hat ihofe uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the aits, and being
ignorant even of the exiftenceof iron and steel,
fliould be able to form such hard fubftanoes in
to fanciful forms as thij, and other Indian ma
nufattures now in the Museum.
A lignified Quince : The fpccimen thews
what a icmatfcablc effect a dry warm (ituation
has 011 fruit. It is now about 8 years since it
was gathered ; and it was a real quince, now be
come wood, at least in appearance.
Prefcntcd bv Mrs. Manfon ol Charleftown,
S. C.—a tool used by the Otaheitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
instrument ol wood, it produces the ribs which
resemble threads : the perfe&ly straight and
equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by
men without the ufc of iron,are curious & won
derful.
Presented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in spirits : when this filh wa< found, a number
of (tones were appended to firings or ligaments
that projected from the front of its head,which
occasioned a conje&ure, as it is not furnifhed
with fufficient fins to resist the violence of the
tide and currents, that it faftened with these li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so
that the stones answered the purpofeof anchors
and the ligaments of a glutinous sticky nature,
that of cables. Some of the stones arc in the
lame phial.
And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned
wood by him, and capital workmen, he has
not the least doubt but he will be able to give
fatisfa&ion to those whopleafe to employ him.
He has for fate, several carriages almost
finiihed, such as coachees, an Italian windsor
chair, hung on steel springs, a light phseton for
one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling
top.
He continues to make and repair at the
fliorteft notice, all kinds of pleasure carriages,
such as coaches, chariots, phaetons with and
without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte
reens, windsor fulkeys and chaiis, and harness
of every description, in the neatest and newest
fafhion now prevailing in the United States.
Notice is hereby given,
THAT the subscriber has been duly ap
pointed Administratrix on the ellate of
his Excellency John Hancock, Esq. late of
Boston, in the county of Suffolk, decealed, and
has taken upon herfelf that trust, by giving
bonds as the law dire&s—and all persons in
terested, are defireJ to take notice accord
ingly.
TAKES this opportunity of returning his
grateful thanks to his former employers,
and requeuing their future favors, as well as
those of the public in general.
A collc&ion of Minerals and other Foflils

in a concise manner, the various uses they are
applied to ; thereby rendering them the more

A Living Elk, of 2 years old, is just receiv

Encyclopedia,
The trnth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an imperfect state, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfe&ion should
be given. On the Brh «f September last, the
Publisher had the misfortune of having his
Printing-Office burnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity of his printing materials destroyed,
and among other articles, the ftgures, with
which he was printing the tables or lo
garithms, belonging to the pre feat volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, be was under the neceflity of pul»
lifhing the volume without these tables; but
hopes he fhallbc able to publilh thein with the
next volume which is now in conliderable for
wardnefs.
PHILADELPHIA :
Printed by JOHN FENNO, No. 3,
South Foiutk-Street-
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling his grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the verylibeial pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes the li
berty of reprefen ting to such of the fubfci ibers
as are in arrears, the indif'penfible necessity of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes as
early as poflible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fu!>-
fcribers having got only one, two, three, fee.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different stages
from the commencement; and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher under
very serious embarraflment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For these reasons the Publisher finds himfelt
under the necessity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those wh»
take and pay to the time of publication.
