Notice is hereby given,
THAT the subscriber has been duly ap

has taken upon herielf that trust, by giving

And as he has a quantity of the bed seasoned
wood by him, ard capital workmen, he has
not the least doubt but he will be able to give
fatist'acftion to thole whopleafe to employ him.
He has for fate, several carriages almost
finilhed, such as coachees, an Italian windsor
chair, bung on steel springs, a ligl t phston for
one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling
top.
He continues to make and repair at the

without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte
reens, windsor fulkeys and chaiis, and liarnefs
of every description, in the neateil and newest
fafhion now prevailing In the United States.
TAKES this opportunity of returning his
grateful thanks to his former employers,
and requesting their (uture favors, as well as

In Mulberry (Arch) between Fourth and Fifth

ground,
A lignified Quince : The specimen thews
what a remaikable effect a dry warm fnuation
has on fruit. It is now about 8 years since it
was gathered ; and it was a real quince, now be
come wood, at leafl in appearance.
Presented by Mrs. Manfon of Charleflown,
S. C.—a tool used by the O aheitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
instrument of wood, it produces the ribs which
lefemble threads : the perfr&ly straight and
«qual lines made in this extreme hard wood, by
men without the use of iion,are curious Sc won
derful.
Prelented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in spirits : whtii this fiih w) , found, a number
I"! <lo »« were append dlO firings or ligaments
that pmje£led from the front of itt head,which
occasioned a conjrflure, as it is not lurnilhed
with fufficient fjns to refill the violenre of the
tide and currents, that it faftened with thcfc li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so
that the flnnes answered the purpofeof anchors
and the jijjamemSos a glutinous flicky nature,
that of cablet. Some of the ftonei are in the
lame phial..
A Living Elk, of 2 years old, is just receiv
ed. By the account which monf. Button gives
of the Elk, it appears that he was not acquaint
ed with this American animal; he particularly
omits all notice of the curious apertures adjoin
ing the eyes of this Elk.
A co'l. &ion of Minerals and other Foflils
a'e now difplayi d in drawers covered with glass
and in a mode which willfeeure them from de

ren es to a book of defer iptions. This manage
ment of specimens of the Foflil kingdom, ren
ders this part of the Museum very convenicn'
and fatisfa£forv,and great attention will he paid
to the fvftemancal order of them, and in mak
ing the nec« flary essays of each : Also in giving
in a concise manner, the various ufet they are
applied to; thereby rendering them the more
interefling to the public.
HAS Lately received a number of article.*;
among which are the following; That
r markable bud called the Cut-water, or fcif
ars-bill; The Avofette, commonly called the
Shoe-maker, because of its bill resembling a
crooked awl—The Long-legs, commonly call
ed the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs,
iri proportion to the fi7e of the bird, of any of
• he feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, common
ly called mother Cary's chickcr.—The Sea
fwallow, and various Gulls ; besides a variety
ol Cranes, Curlews, Snipes, &c.
An Indian hatchet made of : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the aits, and being
ignorant even of the existence of iron and steel,
should be able to form such hard substances in
to fanciful forms as this, and other Indian ma
nufactures now in the Museum.

The Publiflier embraces this opportunity of
expreflmg his grateful acknowltdpments to
the generous public, for the very libei al pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes th» li
berty of representing to fiich of the fubfcnbcrt
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neceffiry cf
punctuality, both in takjn R up .he volumes a*
early as pofltble after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub.
(bribers having got only one, two, three, kc.
volumes, and leveral volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different flages
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 unpmd lays the Publisher under
very serious embarraffinent, and deprives him
of the ufeof many Thoufandsnf Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For these reasons the Publisher finds himfclt
under the neceflity 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.

The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public; but as it makes
its appearance in an imperfetf state, some ac
conni of the reason of that impel feftion (hould
be > iven. On the Bth of September lad, the
Publiflser had-the misfoitune of having his
Printing Office burnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, aftd a great
quantity of his printing materials deflroyrd,
and among other articles, the figures, with
which he was printing the tables of lo
garithms, be'onging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence of the tire.
As a Supply oi these could not be immediately
obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub
lifliing the volume without the e tables; but
hopes he (hall be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for-
wa-cinefs.
