AN Ir(hman,who was a gen

Coi. Lyon, and desired to be
employed as a workman in his
forge ; the Colonel waited on
his countryman to view his
works—)n their way met with

bably might forget Mr, Mor
pheu's name, and therefore hop
ed he would be kind enough to
write down the menage,—-He,
agreeable to the girl's requdl,
wrote the message down, which
flie gave her mistress.—The
young lady, on reading the
note, turned pale, called her
lover a cruel jealous man, to

any person, much more Mr.
Morpheus, a man file never saw
nor heard of in her life.—The
moment breakfaft was\ over,
Ihe posted to a female confident
and shewed her the note, de
claring that for such ungener
ous fulpicion,(he ^as determin
ed never more to speak to her
lover again.—Her friend being
better read, explaned the mat
ter, telling her that Morpheus
was the God of Sleep ; and that
all her lover meant, was to
chide her for Numbering so
long.—Miss saw her efror;blu fil

things were amicably fettled

IN pursuance of the fore
going Resolution, the
Treasurer once more re
quests payment of all the
outstanding Taxes.——The
circulation of specie being
greater than it was in iome
years past—the fealon of the
year and other circumstanc
es concurring, make this a
favorable time for elofing
the outstanding Taxes.
Sundry Towns have paid all
the taxes which have been
required of them—others al.
most the whole, while some
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 issue Ex
tents for the fame unless
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 Marcli next,
unless prevented by pay
ment; arid he will proceed
to issue Extents for all oth
er taxes due.
The Treasurer earnestly
requests of the Sele&men to
cause payment of the taxes
for which Colledors have
not been returned, and that
they would inform the Col
le&ors who are returned, of
this determination, request
ing them to make payment,
and thereby save the Trea
surer from the disagreeable
necessity of issuing Extents,
and themselves the expence
thereof.
