Lift week Mr. Abner Merrifield, of
Medway in the state of Massachusetts,
having purchased in this town a chest
of tea, and other articled, was pro
ceeding homewards with the goods in
_ a waggon, when his property was feiz^
~ ed by a revenue officer, and lent to
Boston.—By aft of Congrats, hot only
the goods, but Waggon and team are
forfeited. Blessed effeas of our be
jpg out of the Union ! Mr. Merrifield
had long dealt io this town, and ex
pended much money therein.
United with our Eastern and North
ern brethren in our ardent attach
ment to the principles of a free go
vernment, equally remote from tyran
ny and anarchy, we rejoice with them
the principal articles on which some
member; a certain Hon. body, ground
tr.eir or^ofition to the Assumption of
the Stale Debts, are, " The Penobfcot
Expedition, 'and the South-Carolina
Frigate"—and this too because the one
Jaded, And the other was captured. If
feck paltry, local ideas are permitted
to influence the "Rulers of the free,"
the ceriums on " Deliberate Assem
blies" so often pronounced, will not
appear quite io well founded as Utopia
ans have io fondly imagined them to
be.<
THE late celebrated Dodor Brown
Courted a lady for many years, though
unfuccefsful ; during which time it
had been his custom to drink the la
dy's health before that of any other.
But being observed one evening to
omit it, a gentleman reminding him
of it, said, " Come, dodor, drink
the lady, your toast." The Dodor
replied, " I have toasted her for ma
ny years, and I can't make her Brown
—so I'll toast her no longer."-

Last Sunday evening a young man
of this town.named 'John Wheelwright,
fell out of a vessel at the wharf) on
which he was endeavouring to secure
her against the effects of a heavy gale,
and was drowned.- -His body has
Rot yet been found.
While on the one hand, blame may
be laid at the doors of the Southern
liembers, for pome part of their con
cud, it will be confeffed, on the other
tnat tae proceedings of/omeof the Nort
hern Members, have not been blame
less. Why did they not join in the
postponement of the Slave business, un
til the far more important business of
ehablilhing public credit, was finished ?
Let them answer this.
THERE is authority fufficient to
prove the falfity of the narration in
our last paper under Danbury head,
no such vessel having ever left this
Harbour.
On Tuefday of last week, Mr.
Bradifh, the Goaler at Cambridge put
an end to his exigence, by discharg
ing the contents of a loaded mufquet
into his head, which left him a (hock

From a late Providence /after.
BOSTON, APRIL 2^.
to the Intendant If Wardens of the Cit,
of Cbarlefon South- Carolina.
Gentlemen,
I RECEIVE your congratulator
on my unanimous appointment
to the firft mrigiftracy of a free people,
with that grateful sensibility which is
due to the occasion, and which your
flattering eXpreffions of regard could
not fail to awaken. Persuaded that
the candor of my countrymen will do
justice to the rectitude of my intenti^
ons, I am happy under the assurance,
that their aflive support of the confti
tution, and disposition to maintain the
dignity of our free and equal govern
ment, will ensure facility and success
to the administration of its laws, and,
if the fefult of my anxious endeavors,
in some measure to juftify the too
partial sentiments of my fellow-citi
zens, Ihould in any degree, approach
to the with which I entertain for their
happiriefs, 1 (hall not regret the do
mestic enjoyment and personal repose,
which may have been yielded to this
superior confederation.
As magistrates of a commercial city
deeply interefled in the meafure# of
the federal government, you mull have
beheld, with fatisfaftion, the equal
and faldtary influence cf its regula
tions on the trade of America. As
citizens of a State whose fufFerings
and Services possess a distinguished
rank in the hiftory of our revolution,
you must rejoice in the completion of
our toils,and the reward which awaits
them—and as members of the great
family of the union, conneded by the
ctofeft ties of interest and endearment,
the confidence which you justly cherilh
of sharing in all the benefits gs she
that you have been prevailed bpm
by the voice of your country to re
linquish your private walks of domes
tic life, for the toils of an untried go
vernment, where your wisdom, mode
ration, and firmcefs would be requi
site to the difeharge of its various and
intricate duties. With grateful hearts
we add this to the catalogue of emi
nent facrifices and services, by which
you have so compleltly endeared your
felf to the people of America.
As magistrates of a com mercial city
deeply interelted in the measures of
the federal government) we feel pe
culiar pleasure in finding it introduced
into aftiOn under the auspices of an
administration every way qualified to
correct those errors, or supply those
defers, which are alledged by its
enemies,or apprehended by its friends:
And as in its firft operation it will re.
ceive from you a tone cerrefpondent to
the spirit in which it was framed, we
felicitate odrfelve in the happy omens
of a firm government acting by whol
fome laws through the medium of a
mild and equal admidiftration.
Foffeffing the fulleft confidence that
our distance from the feat of govern
ment will not deprive til of its es
sential benefits, we beg leave to tender
you our assurances of acheerful submis
sion to, active support of the confuta
tion, and the laws which may be fra
med in conformity thereto by the wis
dom of Congress. We cfcrilh the
confidence from whence spring these
assurances, because we remember that
we were not neglected or deserted
during the late glorious drUggle for
independency, but were substantially
aided by the policy of your counsels,
the wisdom of your appointments, and
the vigor of theexertions of our north
ern friends who (hared and lessened
our severest toils.
It is bur earned prayer to the Al
mighty ruler of the universe, that he
will take you into his holy keeping;
and fuffer no incident to arise which
may disturb the felicity of your private
life ; & that he will makeyoer public
administration honorable to yourfelf,
and happy to the people who have so
unanimously confided themselves to
your care. THOMAS JONES,

TAKE an empty Barrel, the tigh

procured, whereon plant yourCucuma

the barrel a fufficient quantity of brulh
as supporters for the vines—introduce
some small tube within the barrel to
convey water, as occasion may require

always be even with the furface of the

introduce a small fpile into the fide
