A CERTAIN celebrated cha
raaer in one of the Eastern
Spates, with great expence of study
lately invented a method, long known
and p^aaifed by men of ingenuity,
for preventing and remedying smoky
chimnies. Not content with th
pleasure of breathing the vital fluid
uncontaminated with fuliginous va
pors in his own house, and gene
roefly communicating the secret to
his neighbours, fie petitioned the
State Legislature, of which he was a
very —worthy member, for a premi
umon all chimnies which (hall here
after be built or altered in confor
mity to his plan. The Ligiflature,
ever disposed to lend an. attentive
carlo the prayers of its own mem
bers, particularly when they- have
for an objeft nothing further than
the private emolument of the* petiti
oners, generously granted his request ;
rotwithlUndingfome narrow-minded
individuals among them thought that
the principle wanted the recommen
dation of novelty. 'As presenting a
model of his.invention, according, to.
the com man usage in foch cases, would
have been attended with ' fame incon
venience. and much expence, the
gentlemen thought fit togive an idba
of his plan, and to demonftrafe its
raft utility, by altering a very smoky
chimney in the town; where the
Court warthen: fitting. According-
Iy„the carpenter,the mason,& every (A
ther neceffar, mechanic were sent for,
and filly infracted in- the principle,
and its application to all possible caf
fes. Being now pofefi'd of the the
ory, they commenced their labours
on the smoky chimney. They de
molished— they rebuilt—they ex
changed solid jambs for cavernous.
The air was introduced from abroad
by the proper apparatus— and 1 the
,important work was completed: ac
cording to the directions of the Pa
tentee. Every bread was now pal
pitating for therefult of an expert
ment, which was to determine, the
efficacy of a plan for guarding, ata
aiding expence, all kitchens ,#-

And let me sometimes have my will,

That 1 can heat him. Sirs, at that.
I'll go to operas, balls, and playa,
Or where f will, and wont be
check'd;
Egad I'll racket nignts and days,
Until he treats me with refpe& :
And if he romps, with 1 know who,
Perhaps he'll meet with tit for tat;
And, faith, may find, and (hall so too,

WHEREAS Thomas Simpson,
of Portsmouth, in the county

Hamplhire, merchant, son of the de
ceased, hath petitioned the General
Court, representing that his said fa
ther devised his real and personal
estate to his wife Martha, with
power to dispose of any part thereof
for her Support : That, the Honorable
James Sullivan, Efa, who since
intermarried the said Martha, had
joined with her in releasing all their
right to the estate aforefaid, to the
said Thomas, the son and his two
fillers, An,n a Frost and Rachel,
upon the express condition that the
laid Thomas, Anna Frost and Rachel,
should indemnify the said James and
Martha from the payment of any de
mands against the fame estate ; that
as there is no time limited for the
creditors, if any to prosecute their
demands, the heirs to whom it is so
released cannot tell when the estate
will be absolutely theirs—Wherefore
he prayed for himfelf and filters that
a time might be limited beyond which
no demand against said estate lhould
be Supported, The fa&s alledged

petition appearing reasonable and a
grceable to the intention of the Hand

THE Honorable General
Court, by a Resolution passed
the 30th of December 1791, having
(among other things) Ordered—.
"That the expediency of issuing
Extents for the Oatftanding Taxes
be left diferetionary wi;h the Trea
surer, any former order Os the Gene
ral Court to the contrary notw&h
ftanding: Excepting only that this
Resolve Ihall not raffed or alter the
force of any Vote or Resolve for flay
ing extents in particular cases."
The Treasurer thinks it
his duty to call on all Collectors, and
on the Selectmen where Collectors
have not been returned agreeably to
Law, to make payment of the fems
due from them refpeCtively, It ap
pears by the returns, latelfcmade by
Selectmen, that large fams have been
colle&ed from the people, which sums
are not paid into the Treasury ; some
towns have paid all the Taxes requir
ed of them ; others owe Small funis,
while some others ace much in arrears.
The General Court at their late ses
sion have matte some orders to facili
tate the payment of the Taxes due in
paper; There has not been any slate
Tax required for the last, or present
year, and it is the opinion of the
Treasurer, that the True Interest of
the good people of this State will be
promoted by a Speedy collection of all
outflanding Taxes ;. Therefore he re
quests that all concerned would pay
immediate and particular attention to
this notice ; pay the sums due from
them reflectively, and thereby save
him the trouble and themfelves.the
expence of Extents. ,
