to*me, the unanimous testimony of fa refpe&a
ble a portion of mine, as the Inhabitant, of Han

Our excellent fytlem of Government, which
has been the fonrce of unexampled prosperity,
must attach to its support all, whofc views are
rot blinded by gross misrepresentation, hr pre
vftted by depravity of heart,,
Ifin the difenarge of my duty, for tie lafr
four years, I hhvg contributed, in fame fmafr
degree,- to its support, I have done ,o more
than the protection afforded me bythc Gov
ernment, the confidence reposed in me by the
people, and my own engagments to them de
nranded. c <
I„atn much obliged by the polite attention,
and congratulations of my fellow-citizens, on

SIR,
.The inhabitants of the town of Hanover, by
their unanimous vote, have bidden us welcome
you, on your return among them, from the late
Congress, and congratulate you, on your fafc
arrival to the embraces of your family.
The uniform consistency and firmnefs with
which, asa Representative of this State, in the
General Government, for four years past, you
have pursued the belt interests of Americans,
has entitled you jo the gratitude of your fel
low-citizens. .
Your zealous co-operation to support the ad
ministration of Government, commenced by
our Woffington, and continued by an Adams,
has improved us with the warmelt feelings of
approbation. It remains for us to regret your
resolution to withdraw, at this crifts from pub-,
lie 'employment.
" On this river and its branches have been
arried away and destroyed sev en grist-mills,
ive saw-mills, fourteen bridges, two Pothier's
"hops and works, one dwelling-house, 2 barns
. veral final! out-houses, besides immense quan
tie- of timber and fencing from all quarters.
'he only instance of mortality accrued to know
, !ge is the son of mr. Josiah Adkins, of W&

river, is not my province ; fuffice it to fay, that
it is much more than all before this from the
firfl settlement of the country.
In Harwinton the damage done by the iate
rains is computed At 6 or 700 dollars.
That the unalloyed pleasures of domdik
enjoyment, and the pure fatisfa&ion of an un
disturbed intercourse with your friends, in fecial
life, may afford you the compensation which
your political fife has thus far merited, is the
sincere wiftiof your fellow towns-rpen.

g, !Ve hope tbe Citizens of Mafachufetts will
evince their independent spirit on Monday next, by
uniting for the above Gentlemen, tofill the two bigbeft
offices infaidState; and not let fJeintipid fluff which
the Chronicle teems with. Lave the leaf weight on
their minds.
An English Review, in making some severe
Ariannes .on a translation of a German work
thus characterizes the present age : —
—“ An age, in which men write before they
have read, decide before they inquire, and lay
down systems of morality and government for
thwegeneration of the world, before they have
acquired the firfl rudiments of their native lan
guage. The character of the age is that of
prefttm^ttfobs ignorante. To reprtfs and chas
tise this preemption, arid to teach the ignorant
the necessity of learning before they pretend to
teach, are matters of more importance than
they may at firfl fight appear. Mr.B. pleads,
in extenuation of his faults, that he is young.
It is our duty to tell him, that men should
write, but youth should study."
" Take a fix quart jug of bid hard cider, put
therein a point of country niußard feed, one
double handful of fearfley roots one double
handful of lignum vita: (havings or dull, and one
double handful of horse radith roots ; let them
framed together over a How.,fcc fortj-Lgh: ,
hours,„hen it will fchtfor use. Take a tea
cup full of this liquid three times a day, and it
will work off the disorder by urine, without
any trouble to the patient. A mod surprising
infiance of the efficacy of this simple medicine,
has lately taken place in the case of Mr. Wm._
Wray, of Lunenburgh, who, from the word
fate of the dropsy, has by it, been restored to
perfect health."
