had but two men nightly wounded. The enemy left
three dead behind them, their wounded they carried
off, as their rear made a stand at every hill, house
and barn in their rout. One of our inhabitants fays 15
wounded were carried 011 board. In their progress, or
rather flight, they plundered the inhabitants, and
burnt several houses and barns. Had they landed in
the day, or stayed till our militia could be collected
to half their numbers, (which we always reckon Suf
ficient to drub them) they would doubtless have re
pented their invasion. But ever choosing like their
brother thieves, the hours of darken, to perpetrate
the works of darkness, they generally land in the
might, and before the militia can be cohered, flee to
their vessels with precipitation, thatching up in their
flight what plunder they can ; and then blazon away
in their lying Gazettes, one of these fheep-freaiing
nodurnal robberies, into one of the Duke of Marl
borough's vidories in Flanders.'^ _

r r HE many enquiries that have been made by
X Gentlemen at a distance, render it neceflary to
give information to the public of the pad and pretext
state of the College here. Every promise made in
former advertisements has been fulfilled. In the
summer of 1777, as soon as the energy left the state,
the inftru&ion agreeably to notice was begun ; the
Trustees having empowered the President to employ
such teachers occasionally as should be necellary.
Accordingly such of the scholars, as conveniently
could,returned, and were carried on according to their
standing, and the Seniors of that year received their
Degree of Bachelor of Arts at Commencement, as
usual. The fame was the case through the winter
following and the summer of 1778, when there was
a private Commencement ; but the attendance was
difficult and inconvenient, the College being occupi
ed by the Publick as a barrack or hospital, and the
recitations from necessity in a room of the President's
house. Lafl summer the College was entirely given
up to us, but in so ruinous a state as to be very un
fit for accommodating the scholars. Several however
lived in it all the winter session, and the recitations
were in College. Now we have the pleasure of ac
quainting the Publick that tradesmen have been at
work for some time repairing the fabrick ; that a good
part of the windows are put in ; that we expect the
roof will be made entirely found in a few days; and
that chambers will be fitted up fufficient, it is fu,-
posed, to receive those who may come for the sum
mer session, which begins on the icth of May. As
to boarding, it is not yet practicable to get a steward
for the College, but boarding for those who lodge in
College may be had in families in town at such rate
as the times wiil admit. The Publick may depend
upon the inftrudion being carried on, and that al
ways one or other of the Subscribers, if not both,
will be upon the spot.
The Grammar School which was begun in April
last year, has continued ever since, and is in a thriving
condition, there being near thirty boys in it. The
school, after a vacation of two weeks, nearly elapsed,
will be opened on Monday next the 26th infiant.
Great care is taken in this school to make the scho
lars accurate in the grammar and syntax, and by fre
quent periodical exercises to perfect them in reading,
spelling, and pronouncing the English language; a
branch of education of the firft importance and yet
often Ihamefully negleded.
To encourage the early and punctual attendance of
the Students, the fame rule will be observed as in
former times at the end of every vacation, viz. That
after the firft day of meeting no regard will be paid
to the Landing of the scholars in the distribution of
the chambers, but those who come firft will have
their choice of such as are vacant.

A Grill-Mill and Saw-Mill,
rpHE fubferiber has a grist and saw-mill which he
is desirous to have removed to a situation more
advantageous, a little lower down Capolong-Brook
(on which they now stand) to a place where a forge
lately flood, the banks of the dam nearly compleat,
but the frame work, which is not very considerable,
is decayed. The tail race is<finilhed and there will
be little or no diging necessary for the foundation or
ground work of the mill. Any person of experience
and fufficient abilities who will undertake the fame,
may have a good lease, and be furnifhed with the
mill-hones, bolts, iron work and utensils. The
merchant cloth new, another not much the worse
for wear, and a third a little damaged, but perhaps
inay be repaired. The frame work of the saw-mill
is good, not more than seven years old, and may be
easily moved and soon set to work. The saw achoice
steel plate ; the ftrcam large and lively, wa'er seldom
fails, but may be a little pinched in great drought in
summer, and this may be cafily remedied by bringing
Another creek in, at a very small expence, as the
chief of the race is already dug, and will require
little or no dam. The situation is very pleasant, and
in a fine wheat country, on the bank of the south
branch of Raritaih-river ; done, lime, find and
timber very convenient, and a good mafen who lives
within hall a mile, will undertake the mason work.
Also may be had in exchange for bar iron, a pair
of forge bellows, a little out of repair, and a pair of
spare bellows pipes, hammer wheel gudgeons, and
feme other of the iron work belonging to a forge.—
