On Thursday an uncommon quantity
of rain fell here, accompanied with dread
ful thunder and heavy squalls of wind.—
About one o'clock in the afternoon, when
the florin seemed to be at its height, the
lightning (as it is supposed) fell on the ma
gazine of Fort Frederick, situated on the
top of an high hill in the vicinity of this
town, containing about 150 barrels of gun
powder, which blew up with a horrible
explosion, and greatly damaged the Fort.
A corporal and three privates of the 6oth
regiment, who were on duty there, un
fortunately periled on this occasion. The
houses that stand neared the Fort sustained
some damage, but very little was done to
those in town, although the concuflion, oc
casioned by the explosion, was so strong,
that it burst open several doors and win
dows, and operated, in other refpe€ts, like
the shock of an earthquake.
KINGSTON, September 18.
A French gentleman from Hispaniola
assures, that the following extraordinary
case, which happened lately in Old France,
may be depended on as fact :—A certain
woman, to cure herfelf of the palsy, fell
upon a very singular remedy, of which the
use is not altogether new.—She took a lit
tle dog into bed with her, and laid it close
to the part affected; at the end of fifteen
days the animal was deprived of the use
of all its limbs and died. She was already
much relieved, and a second supplied the
place of the firft, and met with the fame
fate—at length the third cured the woman
at the expence of its own life.

Sixteen Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscribers in Trenton in
the night of the 12th inst. two indented Irish
servants, one named William Graham, a labourer,
about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high,
much marked with the small-pox on the nose: Had
on when he went away an old short drab-coloured
coat much patched, one pair old cloth breeches, and
cloth jacket ; also took with him a blue coat, cordu
roy jacket, and a red and white striped Holland
jacket. The other named James M'Coy, about 20
years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, ffiort light
brown hair, marked with the small-pox a little in the
face, clumfey built: Had on and took with him when
he went away, one old brown coat and jacket, one
pair of green ribbed Bergen breeches, one old black
pair of plush do. one ruffled (hirt, two plain shirts, and
one felt hat. It is likely they have changed their
clothes and forged passes—and it is thought they are
gone to the Nine Partners in New-York state, or
New-England. Whoever takes up said servants and
secures them in any gaol, so as their masters may
have them again, shall have the above reward, and
all reasonable charges paid by
