And the heavy heart make light.

When Lfee thee.loft in air,
Swift as lightning snoot allant,
I behold life's picture fair.

Fed by allies, call to mind
That one day it mute be dark,
Nought but allies left behind,
Blushing I survey the chafe,
While the smoke we both pursue,

And as nimble full as you.

try to his own immediate or greatest gain. It
is also [uppofed that this feheme, if carried
into execution, will be an advantage to the
large manufactories, and they to the country.
It plenty and variety are produced, purehafcrs
will come from a considerable distance. It is
therefore earnestly requeued and hoped, that
public spirited ' persons, will give encourage
ment to this plan at firft, particularly by bring
ing to tale whatever they can spare, because
it is luppofed there will be many more
buyers than fellers, in the present state of
I'things. After it is begun there is little doubt,
# that common interest will keep it up, and per
haps invite others to imitate it.
In protection of this plan, a' market is to
be held for the Weffern precinct, at Princeton ;
;and for Bedminftcr, at Pluckimin ; being dis
tant parts of the county, on the firft Tuesday
;of March next; and in like manner on the firft
Tuesday of every month. For Bernard's town,
at John Boylan's; and for the Eaftefn precindt,
at James Whitlock's ; the second Tuesday in
March, and so on monthly. For Bridgewater
at Bound Brook, on the third Tuefdayof March,
and so on monthly. And, fef Hillfborough, at ,
Somerset Court House, the fourth Tuesday in
March; and so on monthly, as above. By
this means there will be a marker, with few
exceptions, every week in the year, in feme
part of this extensive county.

To all Persons interred in the Towhfhips of
Milton, Weßford. and Underhill:
WHEREAS .his Majefly, by his Letters
Patent, under the Great Seal of the
province of New-York, bearing date the 12th
day of January how last past, hath granted to
certain persons therein named, all those three
certain tracts or parcels of land, fituhte, lying
and being on the eafl fide of Lake Champlain,
and on Lemcile River, in the county of Char
lotte, within the province of New-York, com
monly called and known by the names of Mil
ton, Weftford, and Underhill.
Milton contains, inclusive of a certain lot
within the fame, reserved to his Majesty, and
four other lots within the feme, granted in trust
for public uses, 2^70 acres of land, and the
usual allowance for high Ways, and is erected
into a twwnfhip by the nhme of Milton.
Weftford contains, inclusive of a certain lot
within the fame, referred to his majesty, and
fov,r other lots within the fame, granted in trust
for public uses, 20445 acres of land, and the
usual allowance for high ways, and is erected in
to a township, by the name of Weftford.
Underbill contains, inclusive of a certain lot
within the fame referred so his Majesty, and
four other lots within the fame, granted in trust
for public tries, 2187° acres of land, and the
ulual allowance for high ways, and is erected
into a township, by the name of Underhill.
And whereas a grant of each of the above re

THE Committee of observation and ccr
refeondencejor the county of Someifer,
in the Province of New-Jerfey^at their meet
in at Hilhborough, ,n Wednesday the 14th ult.
took into their conlideration the great impor
tance of promoting manufactures in America at
this time. They were fpeedtiy convinced of
the happy situation of the county of Somerset
for an inland trade, and were informed from
every quarter, of the spirited endeavours of
particular persons to promote manufactures of
different kinds. After mature deliberation on
what it was their duty and in their power to
do, to continue and improve the difpotition now
so generally prevailing, they fixed upon this
principle,----That whatever will make it caiy
tor every person, old or young, rich er poe;, to
do a little, and immediately to turn that little
to his own advantage as well as throw it into .
the public service, must have the most imme
diate and powerful influence. With this view
they determined that there should be fixed mar
kets in different parts of this county, for the
materials and inflruments of manufactures in
genet al, but particularly the linen and woollen,
and for goods in every fyge of their progress:
Therefore the public may cxpe& at the places
and times under written, markets tor wool,
woollen yarn, cloth, fine and coarse wool cards;
and for flax rough agd„drelled, linen yarn in
any quantity, cloth green apd whitened, also
reeds and mounting for looms, wheels, reels,
&c. These market days will also be very pro
per times for meeting,, for persons of fubflanee
to give out, and poor people to receive flax for
Spinning. All the gentlemen concerned in pro,
jelling tyis mealure, and many others', will
encourage it to the utmost of their power, # by
buying what they can turn to account, and
felling what they have to fpafe. The Commit
tee are also delirious that the reason and neceliity
of it ffiould appear. General industry cannot
he produced in any other way ; many poor
people (old and young) would spin a littleif
they knew where to turn it into ready money
I at the end of a week or a month, but they have
neither dock to purchase the materials, nor are
they able to Wait the time, nor find the hands
and adiftance neceflary to bring it to a fabrick
of any consequence ; and on the other hand,
I mmy perfoas of better Ration would do a great
Ideal if they could readily be Supplied with such
Imaterials or work, as they stand in need of to
compleat what they have. The laudably and
generous undertakings by fubfeription, to carry
on manufactures, of any particular branch are
[ proper for cities and not tor the country ; nor
I are they by any means so free from rilk as the
method here proposed, in which indeed there
ismeither rilk nor expence, but a door opened
for every one to turn his own or family's induf-
