YN England are as plenty
1 as they are in America, and
have been ridiculed in the fol
fowing anecdote ---" A Noble
man's footman in Halnp/bire, to
whom two years w#gcs was
due, demanded the sum from
his matter, and gave notice,
that he fh,utd quit his place :
The matter inquired the reason
of the fellow's precipitancy,
who cold his lordlhip, "tlmhe
and another servants, Were-a
hout to set up a Country Bank,
and t'^y wanted the Wages for
aCapi^l" !! -
A Certain Lady, of unfufped
ed conjugal fidelity to
ward a husband to whom (he
had borne fix children, gave
the name Gratis to a daugh
ter, with which (he was favour
ed, a few years after 'his de
cease. A perlon, remarking
upon the incident, observed,
that however some might reflect
on the conduct of the widow,
for his part tie thought her ex
cufeable—that, in his idea, 6ay
tefuWibed and faithfully ifr
cfyled forfait was undoubt
edly ratified to the feventb,
GRATIS !

WHEN Winter spreads her ban
ner chill,
And fyeeps the vale with freezing
pow'r,, ~
And binds in fpeljs the vagrant rill,
And shrivels ev' r y lingering flow'r ;
Whet }na<ure'qui{s h,r verdant, drefi,
Ahd drops to earth ^e, ify tears ;
E'en then thy tardy glance can bjefs,
And fofc thy weeping eye appears.
Then'at the horn's enlivening peril,
Keen sportsmen for the chafe prepare.
Thro' the young copse ffirill echoes
deal ;
Swift flies the tim'rous, panting
hare ;
From ev'ry straw thatch'd cottage soars
Blue curling smoke in many a cfOad;
Around the barn's expanded doors,
the feather'd throng impatient
crowd.
Such are thy charms ! health breat'h-
And labour crowns the circling day ;
Where peace, incgnfcioas virtue bleft,
toil,a the heart to joy supreme ;
While pofifh'd fplendour pants for rest,
And pincs in faffiion's fev'iifh dream.
; ing feene !
Where Nature's children revel gay;
Where plenty smiles with radiant
; mein ;
Seat of the Muses.

LOS T,
Resolved, That the
Treasurer be, and he
hereby is, directed to take
such meafuies as he may
judge most expedient for
the collection of the out
standing taxes.
Exeter, Dec. 25th, 1792.
IN puiluance ot the fore
going Refolutiori, the
Treasurer once more re
quests payment of all the
outftariding Taxes.—-The
circulation of specie being
greater than it was in lome
years past —the season of the
year and other circumftanc
es concurring, make this a
favorable time for elofing
the outstanding Taxes.
Sundry Towns have paid all
the takes which have been
required of them—others al.
most the whole, while fonie
others are much in arrears.
—The Treasurer is well in
formed that in many cases
the taxes have been princi
pally paid by the people on
whom they were affeffed,and
he will proceed to illtie Ex
tents for the fame unlels
prevented by payment in
few days. It is .his inten
tion to issue Extents, for all
taxes prior to 1788, before
the firft day of March next,
unless prevented by pay
ment; and he will proceed
to issue Extents for all oth
er taxes due.

Sent up for Concurrence,
WHEREAS I have recei
ved authentic informa
tion, that certain lawless and
witked persons, jf the weflern
frontier, in die Rate of Georgia,
did lately invade, burn and de
stroy, a town belonging to the
Cherokee nation; although in
amity with the United States,
and put co death Several Indians
of that nation; and whereas
such outragious conduct net
only violates the rights of hu
manity, but alio endangers the
public peace ; and it highly be
comes the honour and good
faith of the United States, to
pursue all legal means for the
punishment of those atrocious
offenders ; I have therefore
thought fit to iffee this my pro
clamation, hereby exhorting all
the citizens of the United States
and requiring all the officers
thereof, according to their re.
fpedtve ftati>ns, to use their tu
rnoff endeavor, to apprehend
and bring those offenders to
justice. And I do moreover of
fer a reward of Five Hundred
Dollars, for each and every of
the above named perlons who
(hall be so apprehended and
brought to juftiee, and fhal! be
proved to have affuthed or ex
ercised any command or au
thority among the perpetrators
of the crimes afoiefaid, at the
tirheof committing the fame.
In teArmory whereof I have
caused the seal ofche Uni

the fame with my hand.
