tTHEREAS the Honourable the Congress by their
Vv resolution of tlie seventeenth instant, reciting
that it having pleased Almighty GOD, through the
course of the present year, to bellow great and mani
fold mercies on the people of these United States ;
and that it being the indispensable duty of all men
gratefully to acknowledge their obligations to him for
benefits received, did recommend it to the legislative
or executive Authority of each of the said States, to
appoint Wednesday, the 30th day of December next,
to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and
praise, that all people may with united hearts on
that day express a just sense of his unmerited fa
vours; particularly in that it hath pleased him, by
his over-ruling Providence, to support us in a jult
and necessary war for the defence of our rights and
liberties, bv affording us seasonable supplies tor our
armies,; by disposing the heart of a powerful Mo
narch to enter into alliance with us, and aid our
caufe —by defeating the councils and evil designs of
our enemies, and giving us victory over their troops,
and by the continuance of that union among these
States,' which, by his billing, will be their future
Strength and glory —and farther recommended that
together with devout thanksgivings may be joined
a penitent confeffion of our fins, and humble fupph
cation for pardon through the merits of our Sa
viour ; that so, under the smiles of Heaven, ourpublic
Councils may be directed —our arms by land and sea
profpered —our liberty and independence secured —
our schools and seminaries of learning, flourish —our
trade be revived —our husbandry and manufactures
ircreafed —and the hearts of all impressed with un
diffembled piety, with benevolence and zeal for the
public good.
I HAVE, therefore, thought fit, by and with the
advice of the Honourable Privy Council of this State,
to appoint the said thirtieth day of December next,
to be set apart and observed throughout this State as
a day of public thanksgiving and praise for the pur
poses in the above resolution set forth, whereof all
the inhabitants of this State are hereby required to
take notice, and govern themselves accordingly.
And Ido hereby recommend it to the Ministers of
the Gospel of every denomination in this State, to
perform divine service, and to the people committed
to their charge, to attend on public worship on that
day, and to abstain thereon from all servile labour,
and all recreations inconliflent with the solemnity
of the feftival.

PROCLAMATION.
By His EXCELLENCY
C O exceedingly valued by all people who have had
' of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their
tranfeendant excellency in the destroying worms of
all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women and
children, by not only breaking the knofs of the duo
denum, or guts next the stomach, but they pass thro'
the smallest passages of the body, and purge away
those ropy and slimy humours which are the cause of
those pernicious vermin, and the source of many
other disorders : They are one of the best purges in
the world for gross bodied children that are apt to
breed worms, and have large bellies ; their operation
is mild, fafe and pleasant ; they wonderfully cleanse
the bowels of all ftiff and clammy humours, which
flop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food being
conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is oftea
THE firft year of the NEW-JERSEY GA
ZETTE being expired, the Printer proposes, in
favour of his Customers, to continue the fame
to the firft day of January next at the present
price , and that each subscriber do fettle his accounts
(which will be sent) to that time with the several
Gentlemen to whom the packets are directed, who
are desired to receive the money, and transmit it
by Pod or other fafe conveyance.
The present price of the Gazette being much less
than that of any Paper printed in the neighbouring
States, and moreover having been fixed at a time
when measures were taking to establish a limitation
of prices, and the general expectation was that it
would be adopted and continued, the price of the
Gazette from the firft of January forward will be
Two Dollars by the quarter —the money to be paid
and tranfmi,tted quarterly in the manner above-men
tioned. 'ISAAC COLLINS.

liftment) an old hat, striped jacket, old buckskin
breeches, German-town flockings, and old ihoes.—
Whoever apprehends and secures him in an gaol in
the United States, so that he may be sent to his regi

THIRTY DOLLARS reward,and reasonable charges.

TO BE S O L D,
And immediate possession given,
A Valuable PLANTATION, lituate at Matche
- ponix, in 'the south ward of Amboy, and county
of Middlesex, adjoining Mr. Nicholas Van Wickle's;
containing 228 acres, about 140 of which are cleared,
the remainder good wood land, abounding with
plenty of chefnut for fencing. There are on the pre
mises a dwelling-house ene story and half high, with
three rooms below flairs and two ^bove, though may
be divided into four, a kitchen adjoining, a well of
good water at the door, and a never failing Spring
about 60 yards off, very fuitablc for a spring-house,
a new barn now erecting, 42 feet long and 22 feet
wide, a young thriving orchard of excellent fruit,
about 10 or 12 acres of meadow, part whereof is very
good, and 30 mere may be ma^e at a small expence.
The upland being natural to grass, renders it exceed
ingly well adapted for grazing, but will also produce
good crops of wheat and other grain. The farm will
divide very conveniently into fix or seven fields, every
one ofwhich may be supplied with never failing water.
The situation is peculiarly advantageous, being about
four miles from Spotfwood and the fame from Eng
lifhtown, where there is a constant market and the
highest prices given for all kinds of farmers produce.
There are several grist and saw mills within a mile of
the place, and wood may readily be transported to
New-York market, it being not more than five miles
to navigable water to that city. It is also convenient
to sundry places of worship, and is fin-rounded by a
neighbourhood of the most reputable farmers. The
crop of green corn will be fold with the premises, if
agreeable to the purchaser. For terms apply to Mr.
Henry Delatush, on the farm, or to the subscriber
in Mansfield and county of Burlington.

the case with children, and is attended with a hard
belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a
decay of strength in the lower parts; likewise fettled
head-achs and pains in the head, swellings, old fores,
Scabs, tetters or breakings out, will be perfectly cur
ed, and the blood and Skin restored to its original pu
rity and smoothness ; they purge by urine, and bring
away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions
of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once
Strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely de
stroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root
and branch, so as never to return again ; and what
makes them more commendable is, they are full as
agreeable to both taste and fight as loaf sugar.
I have by these plumbs cured a great many children
of whooping or chin coughs and agues, which distem
pers are very common and troublesome to families
and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many
childrens constitutions.
These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass
of blood, carry off all gross, conupt and putrid hu
mours, and create a frefh and healthy complexion in
such as are affected by any putrid matter.
The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins
of slime ; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medicine
in the cholic and griping of the guts. It allays and
carries off four vapours, which occasion many disor
ders in the head. It opens 211 obstructions in the sto
mach, lungs, liver, reins and bladder; causes a good
appetite and helps digestion. It hath been found
wonderfully fuccefsful to such persons as are going
into chronic distempers, as asthmas, phtnifics, or
Shoftnefs of breath, dropsies and yellow jaundice.
Now I hope all impartial persons are fatisfied, that
the medicine which works upon such humours, will
almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since
corruption and putrefaction are the forerunners of all
diseases ; therefore no better physic can be taken for
all ages, sexes and constitutions, from infancy to old
age. These plumbs are highly Serviceable to the fe
male sex, from the age of fourteen to twenty years,
and from forty to fifty. Each box contains one do
zen of these plumbs, with printed directions.

Directions for taking them.'
A child from 1 to 2 years may eat one plumb, from
2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8
two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15,
and all above that age, may eat four plumbs, one
hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during
that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey or
water gruel; in taking them, the patient must ftgy
two or three days betwixt each dose.
In agues, the fame quantity must be taken, two,
three or four hours before the fit comes on, and be re
peated three times. In whooping or chin coughs
give the quantity above-mentioned.
