THE SCOLDING WIFE.
SOME Women take Delight in Dre's,
And feme in Cards take Pkafure;
While others place their.Happinefs,
In biaping Hoards of Treasure.
And feme there are whose chief Delight
In Secrets is enfolding ;
But my chief Joy,from morn to Night,
Confftetb all in Jcolding.
fa tb' Marring when I ape mine Eyes,
-Idrive anmy all Silinft;
Before my Husband can arise,
Toil'll bidr my Ckdka Mile hence.
And when Ift downat my Meet,
Toifrve Qconfltal Riot „
Icat andfald, and scold and eat,
My Clack is never quiet.
Too fdtjtoo'lean, too rams,too raft,
I always afld chiding ;
AMftilljind Fault with every QiJb,
Hough of my own providing,
And a wen Igo to bed at Nighty
Ifurely fall a weeping ; ; '
for the, I lase , Soul's Delight
yl caxnqtfcold wben feeping.<
Rut this my Pain doth mitigate,„
4nd Qives away dll Sorrow ;
For though Icannot scoldf cold to Night,
ribm&jtm to Morrow.

A Number of Gentlemen near Night, took a

They had a SHEEP roasted whole, of which

WINTER FISH.
YOU have all heard, ere this, that France
has lately experienced a happy and glorious
REVOLUTION Ameicans, sensible of
the Blessings of Freedom, have held Days of
rejoicing with exceeding Joy for the Emanci
pation of their Gallic Brothers from Tyranny.
In most of our great Towns, they have had
Civic Barbecues, EeoJhToefb, &C. Qcrificiug
here an OX, and there a S^@.—there a Shad,
and here a SaImon —LIBERTY and EQUAL
ITY are all the Ton — and "Citizen'' the only
title allowable (at the prefect Day) in-Bof.
^.—At theFeaft in Philadelphia, it 4notified,
(akpoftras a,Miracle) that they had —
fresh shad—caught in January ! in the
River Delaware —where Water runs, and Fish
swim, all the Tear through!— At Bafton, (strange
to tell!) they boast loudly of havihg excelled
the Philadelphians —for, instead of Shad, they
boast of fresh salmon at their Feast ! that
were caught in Merrimack River— which was
never known to be dry /-— — Some fay this Si
mon was fold to the Civic-Citizen-Baconians,
at the moderate Price,of FOUR SHILL
ING S per Pound ! Some fay mere, and some
less !—But (as Boflon Folks are full ofNotions)„
we cannot tell to a Penny !
In Concord, we did not meet, & have a Feast
_we. did, not barbecue an OX—a Sheep— nor
dine on Shad or Salmon, to celebrate the Gal
lic Independence-"-Yet all our Countenances
are glad, and all our Hearts rejoice But
we have aF^ Story to tell, full equal (we
think) withithe Bosnians ,or Philadeldhians,
or even the Newyorkers, who also had frefh
Salmon expend for Sale in thepuWkk Market,
of their great City, in january !*

THE two Gentlemen, held vpjn your Pa
per of the 4th Instant as Candidates, tor Goy
ernour of, the State, would either of them do
Honour to the Station ; at least this my Opin
ion : But admitting their Abilities and Virtues
to be equal, l am inclined to give the Prefer
ence to the Gentleman whose Property and Re
sidence is in the middle Part of the State.—
The firft Magistrate hath hitherto been elect
ed, or appointed, within a few Miles of the
sea Coast, at the fame Time that almost every
other Office of Honour or Profit, compatible
with the Constitution, is held and enjoyed
within those Limits. Is it not high Time for
the Citizens in the interiour and upper Part
of the State, to tefpea themselves? and, if
Gentlemen can* be found resident amonft them
duly qualified to fill publick Offices, to make
Choice of them ? Or, is it more proper that a
great Part of the Community should only con
tribute to the Support of Government, with
out a proper Participation in the Adminiftra,
tion thereof ? If Men of Abilities are wanting,
no more is to be said on the Subjed. I cannot
pretend to an universal Acquaintance with the
principal Characters in the State ; I believe,
however, that Gentlemen may be found in the
in eriour I art of it, not inferiour in Point of
political Knowledge, Integrity, and Virue, to
those resident in the lower Part. Should this
be the Opinion of the Eledors, they will give
their Votes accordingly ; and no longer fuffer
one Corner of the State improperly to monop
olize the publfck Offices, contrary to every
idea of a> republican Government.!
Canterbury, Feb. 11. AN ELECTOR,
Ftom a Gentleman of Veracity we have the
following Information: The Small Pdx has
broke out in Dunbarton ; one Mr. Nicholy
broke out the Week before last, and was re
moved to a remote House. Since that Time,
the fele& Men are alarmed of sundry Persons
being innoctilated fitly by some evil minded
Doctor.—-May JUSTICE be done them !
