A COUNTRY paper lately contain

" A young man of excellent education,
would be gild to barter the undermen
tioned acquirement, < viz.; The Latin
language, lor arithmetic ; the Greek, for
Surveying; prosody for' guaging; and
metaphysics, for navigation: His whole
stock of logic, including fyltogifm, &c.
of all forts, for a knowledge of merdhant
accompts: And his diploma, which; be

>A mason employed rin erecting a
bridge near Ulverfton, lately was so inc
tent on his labour, as not to observe the
tide,whieh had been # feme time flood, had
surrounded the spot where he was {there
was no boat near, and the rest of the men
employed were all gone without ever
miffing him. In. this! alarming fitua^
tion, he very deliberately began to ered
a hill, or rather pedestal, which he con
tinued to rear, until the water overflow
ed it; he then flood upon his edifice,
and, with a large iron crow, supported
himfelf against the rapidity of the cur
rent; in that Situation he remained (at
one time up to his chin in water) until
the tide retired. This expedient saved
his life, and the directors of the work
have determined that this .temporary
bulwark shall be secured, and remain a
monument of extraordinary pretence of
mind, aftoniffiing intrepidity.

It is with real concern we relate the
thany deaths which have recently taken
place in the county of Anne-Arundel,
on th^ weftern shore of this date — Se
veral heado of fefpedable families have
been deprived of mortal existence, and
left a train of friends and acquaintance
to bewail their toss.—Among whom are
Mr. John Small,' Mr. Thomas Small,
Mr. Stephen Boon, thnd Mr. Henry
Oneal Welch—who died shortly after
one another of the fame] malady, and
many others of refpedabilit/'l-Mt: is
said those gentlemen died of an in

he discovered a man upon the bottom of

repeated attempts to take up—but from
the violence of the wind, ^nd the be
numbed slate of the man, which render

schooner was forced eff and left the un

SOLOMON's PROVERB.
Wbofo findeth a ivife,fadeth
a good thing.
Q SOLOMON! Solomon!
"little did you think what
mifchief this proverb of your's
was like to bring upon your
reputation. Half the husbands
at least, are at variance with
you for it.—-
The firft three or four weeks
after marriage, husbands, will
read it perhaps 'with a good
relifh,fhut up your book,fmile
upon fpoufy,fay that the wife
manwas right,and that she is a
goodthing. Six months escaped,
and a few crois grained senten
ces exchanged, the husband
will peruse the . fame, passage
doubtingly. Solomon might
be a good man, he will lay,
but alking his pardon, he must
be mistaken in this particular:
-—Wives, if they are like mine,
may not prove to be the good
things, he tells of. But hear
him when a year hath expir
ed, and he will read this pro
verb (if he reads it at all)with
all the ill nature peculiar to
his fituation^ He will iwear
that Solomon was a faol ; and
that he knew nothing about
it..
"A Bill has passed the Senate, to
confirm the location for the permanent
feat of Government, to the Presi
dent's proclamation—it is now before
the House and I suppose will pass.
" There is a Bill for railing troops for
the WfJiern Frontiers, yet to be finished ;
if it was not done yesterday. The gal
leries were shut On the business— It is
said 3,000 men are to be railed—one
third regular troops, —We Hull know
more about it in a few days."
FEB. 27, 1791.
" We are now near the close of the
session—and happy am I to inform you
that themoft important business is com
pleted —lt has on the whole, been a
very irtterefting feffibn—a great deal of
business has been done—and very little
time wafted indeed, a more affiddous
and punctual Legislature never, I believe
assembled—The principal speeches have
been made on the Excise and Bank Bills
—those fubjeds were inters sting and me
rited a full difeuffion.—A disagreement
between the Senate and House, refpe&
ing Emitting the time of the emoluments
of the officers to be employed, occasion
ed the former of these bills to hang in
suspense for a few days ; but a compro
mise took place on Friday, and the Bill
is now finithed.
THE following,tidicrous
mistake happened a few
days ago;at aduneral in Lon
don.—The, Clergyman had
gone on with the Service un
til he came to that part which
fays, " our deceased brother
or Sifter," without knowing
whether the deceased, was
male or female. He turned to
one of the mourners, and
asked, g Whether it was a Bro
tber br Sifter ? " No relation
at all (said the simple man,)
only an Acquaintance !Z
were from New-Jerfcy, by the name of
Ludlow —they loft almost all they had,
cloathi'ng, money, cattle and horses."
