Jult Imported,
ALL persons who have any demands against
the Estate of his late Excellency JOHN
HANCOCK, Esq. deceased, are requested to
exhibit the fame to the Subfcriher, Attorney
to the Administratrix of said Estate : And all
persons who stand indebted to said Estate, are
requested to fettle 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 requested to insert this in their
refpeftive newspapers, and forward their ac
counts for the fame, to J. M
Notice is hereby given,
THAT the fubferiber has been duly ap
pointed Administratrix on the estate of
his Excellency John Hancock, Esq. late of
Boston, in the county of Suffolk, deceased, and
has taken upon Herfelf that trust, by giving
bonds as the law diredts—and all persons in.
terefted, are defirtd to take notice accord
ingly.
HAS Lately received a number of article* j
among which are the following : That
remarkable bird called the Cut-water, or fcif
ars-bill; The Avofctte, commonly called the
Shoe-maker, because ot its bill resembling a
crooked awl—The Long-leg?, commonly call
ed the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs,
in proportion to the fire of the bird, of any of
(he feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, common
ly called mother Cary's chicken—The Sea
fwallow, and various Gulls ; besides a variety
oi Cranes, Curlews, Snipes, Scc.
He continues to make and repair at the
Ihorteft notice, all kinds of pleasure carriages,
such as coaches, chariots, phaetons with and
without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte
reens, windsor fulkeysand chaiis, and liarnefs
of every description, in the neatest and newest
fufhion now prevailing »n the United States.
He has for sale, several carriages almost
finifhed, such as coachees, an Italian windsor
chair, hung on steel springs, a light phaeton for
one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling
top.
And as he has a quantity of the best fe a Toned
wood by him, and capital workmen, he has
not the least doubt but he will be able to give
fatisfa&ion to those who please to employ him.
TAKES this opportunity of returning his
grateful thanks to his former employers,
and requesting their future favors, as well as
those of the public in general.
An Indian hatchct made of chrylial : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the arts, and being
ignorant even ol the existence of iron and steel,
should be able to form such hard fubftauces in
to fanciful forms as this, and othir Indian ma
nuta&ure* now in the Museum.
A lignified Quince : The specimen (hews
what a remarkable effect a dry warm situation
has on 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.
Presented by Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown,
S. C.—a tool used by the Oiaheitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
instrument of wood, »t produces the ribs which
resemble threads : the perfectly straight and
equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by
men without the use of iron,are curious & won
derful.
Presented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in fpiriu : when this fifh was found, a number
of Hones were appended to firings or ligaments
that projected from the front of its head,which
occasioned a conjecture, as it is not furnilhed
with fufificient fins to rcfift the violence of the
tide and currents, that it fattened with these li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so
that the (tones answered the purpofeof anchors
and the ligaments of a glutinous sticky nature,
that of cables. Some of the ltones arc in the
fame phial.
In Mulberry (Arch) between Fourth and Fifth
Streets, adjoining the Episcopal burying,
ground,
Alio, a rope made of grass, part of the rigg
ing of a veflTel of Kamfkatka.
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 collection of Minerals and other Foflils
a*x now difplayc-d in drawers covered with glass
and in a mode which will fceure them from de
rangement. To each fpecimcn are affixed refe
rences to a book of c>efcviptions. This manage
ment of specimens of the Foflil kingdom,- ren
ders this part of the Mufcum very convenient
and fatisfa£tory,and great attention will be paid
to the fvflcmatical order of them, and in mak
ing the neceflary eflays of each : Alio in giving
in a concise manner, the various uses they are
applied to ; thereby rendering them the more
intercftiug to the public.
