Friday lad as five men were employed in fcra
pfng the fide of a vessel, on a stage which was pre
vioafly eroded for that purpose, it accidently gave

A CURIOSItf.
We have often heard of the Lord's Prayer,being
Written in the compass of a (hilling, but have late
ly seen a piece of paper of that dimension, which
contains, in manuscript; the Lord's Prayer, the
Creed, the Ten Commandments, Psalms 1 17, 120,
127, 131, 132, 134, and 150 ; gth chapter of Pro
verbs, Prayer of St.Chryfoftom,two collects, Pray
er for the Royal Family, Nobility, Clergy, &c.
&c. the Blessing and junior, 1702, the name of
the writer. Thi, curiosity is in the posse ffion of
Mr. John Reeder, Brighton, who being an auction
eer at a sale where it was lately fold, purchased
it on very easy terms. It is not legible without
a good glass.

FROM NEW-YORK, June %

The vote of the House to meet the next session at
Philadelphia, appears to be arrested in the Senate

the Bill refpeding the permanent residence is
committed It is expeded, that the Funding
Bill will receive some amendments in the Senate---

State Debt.
V'einefday last, in the afternoon,a rape was com
raitted on the body of a white girl, about 14 years
old, by a transient negro, aged about 30. The
infamous ad was perpetrated about two miles
from this city, on Milford road, attended with
circumstances too horrible to relate. The unhap
py girl was with her eldest fitter (coming to town)
on whom he intended to commit his diabolical
purpose, but the happily made her escape. The
vile wretch was soon apprehended by some persons
who were on the rad, and is confined in our goal ;
being heavily ironed, it is hoped he will be secur
ed, to receive the punishment justly due to his vil
lainy. -

ver was a greater profpea of an abundant fruit-year
than the present spring affords; that vegetation
was never in a more flourifhing state ; and that the
profpe&s of exuberant harvests of fruit and wheat
are peculiarly flattering.
