VERMONT. Winu-or, October 2i.
AMERICAN PORCELAIN.
About 18 years ago, two men in the town of
Monk loo. in ibis si me, wore digging for iron ore,
& about four feet from the surface of the ground,
came to a white substance, which, from its re
■emblancc to white leao, they supposed would
make putty. They accordingly made trial of it,
and found it to ar,$wer\heir best wishes. They
afterwards peaetrated the bed about twenty-five
feet, and observed the material to grow more
pure, the farther they went down. Considerable
quantities of putty have since been made and car
ried abroad for sale, and by those who have used
It, it is preferred to any other. A house in Ver
jgennes was also painted with it, about 16 years
'since, and still exhibits a hart! coat—impervious
to the weather. Owing to the narrow circum
stances of the then owners, and the doubts and
scruples or people about letting a certainty go
for an uncertainty, as they called it, this muterial
wras rather talked of as valuable, than put to the
test of experiment, though it was still used in
towns in the vicinity of the bed ; and it was not
till a little more than a yehr ago, that any ade
quate ideas were entertained, as to the real pro
perties and value of the “putty ttuj',“ as it was
called.
The friends to American manufactures will be
pleated to hear, that this so long neglected mate
rial, is now ascertained to be Argilla Apira, or,
Porcelain Clay, and that a company is now form
ing, w wli a view of manufacturing it into Crocte
Ty and China Ware A very excellent kind of
■tone ware is already made, by mixing it with a
certain proportion of common blue clay. This
clay is found on the eastern side of a hill rising in
an angle of about forty degrees, and is deposited
*n etrata having a variable number of degrees of
northern depression, and the strata are iuiersect
ed by veins of pure flint sand, valuable in the ma
nuficturc of flint glass i flint stones arc also fre
qui inly found. The soil over the bed is general
ly loose m< agre earth, free from ledg-.-s ; and
from tf-c x.midations, which have been made,
tlie b d m y be said to be nearly inexhaustible
In an analysis of 100 grams, they yielded 56
of pure siltx, inert-m i ul*r were pure clay, a lit
tie water, and a very small portion of oxyd of i.
ion, though scarcely perc.ep' ihle. When submit
ted to a strong heat, it forms into a solid porce
lainous mass with ut fusion, & retains its white
ness
ll lias a great affinity For oil, and it is found,
that mixed in qn.d parts, it even improves the
■whiteness of white lead, and adds greatly to its
power of resisting the action of the atr.i.Sphere.
It must, ofcoursc.be a very useful article in pain
ting.
The proprietors are Messrs Dakin, Muzzy &
Farrar They have applied to the Legislature
for an Jet of incorporation, in favor of which a
committee, we understand, has already reported,
together with the exclusive privilege of m&nu

A LITTLE PRODIGY
There is now, at Montpelier, a boy, whosr
powers of arithmetical calculation arc certainly
astonishing His name is Zekah Colburn, lie
was born in the town of Caboi, in this stale, anc
was 6 years old on the first of September last —
His father, Akia Colturn, has been known to th«
editor of tliis paper many years. He is an honesi
laboring man, in very indigent circumstances, bit
family depending principally for their daily sub
Bislence on the avails of his daily industry. The
boy li'is never been at school but between 6 and
7 weeks, where he begun with his letters, and
went through the usual tables of spelling. This
was at a woman’s school, where reading and spel
ling only were taught. The boy cannot read with
out spelling, does not know a figure, and was ne
ver jn a situation to hear any arithmetical ealeu
lations, either at home or abroad. Yet, wilhoui
being taught any thing more than to count twen
ty or thirty, he will solve, quicker than the mosl
expert arithmetician with a pen, any question pul
to him in multiplication, provided the two sums
to be mul’ij h. d together, are each less than 10l>
If the sum do not exceed tms— that is, if neither
of them arm unt to on*- himdtwl. the answer —-IS!
be generally without apparent calculation ; and
if one of those numbers be not more lhan twenty,
it will be instantaneous, or as quii k us the ques
tion can be pul. G’»e Litn your age in years, tie
■will tell it in days. Give hira several distinct
sums to be multiplied, and demand the total a
Amount, lIieansw-M , (attL High the result of appa
vent calculation, us may lie seen by the motion o|
bis lips,) is giieti within a few neci-nds, and gene
rally correct It is tbe object of his tatlier, ir
tints intro <• ting hint to public notice to pr cure
the menus of giv.ng him an education. He has
been examined by -dmost all the members of the
JLegisIatuie and ethers to their uniform sutisfac
linn iinr) in -.1.fin r»(
The following questions were put by the hon
Tur'g- Paine, in present e of gen Chittenden, gen
Hunt Judge Painter, Judge Crafts, and many o.
ther gentlemen, winch were al: answerer]
promptly, and ali hut one (bow many is 15 timei
•S5) coi rectly, which, however, on perceiving the
error, he immediately corrected :
IIow many is 9 times 15 ?
How many is 15 timer. $5 1
Jiow many is 10 times 2 !
How many is 12 limes 46 ?
How many is 13 times 79 ?
How many is 15 times 75 f
I How many flays in 10 years ?
How many minutes in a day i
How many hours in a year ?
How many days in 5 years ?
Hew many docs 5 times 25, 6 times 35, and 7
times 43 make in nil!
At another lime, 1 put him, among many other
<jtif stions, the following : What is the amount ol
4 limes 7, 10 times 25, 3 timts9 79, and 9 times
63 ? These lie answered coriectly in about 15
*cc.onds.
It is stated by hi* father, that ihe boy was sup
posed to bean idiot, till he was more than a year
fold. At the age of three he was found to be the
biightest in the family. Nothing more was tho’t
of him till the la^i summer, when h* was obser
red putting hard qnc'Oons to other children,
which to the surprize of his parents, it was lound
la; could readily answer himself. His father im
mediately took the multiplication table and found
that lie was master of it in any shape it could lie
put to him. Since that lie has passed lor a most
•Wonderful hoy
When rsked how he learnt to answer such
qu cations, lie says he does not know. “ How do
you know it i* as you say !” Why,” he replies,
*' 1 know it is so, because it i* so—that’s all the
teay l k now it.”
He is rath'-r st< ut of his ago, very clumsily
built, light complexion, with lively blue eyes and
red hau H< iihs, hk> Ins lather, 12 toes and 1
ex"", finger on each I and His mind appears un
commonly relive and vigorous; and bis qu*«'i
cum and answers betray a shrewdness which rare
ly appears rt tl.e age of 10 or J2 He lisps a lit

corresponding with Ins bodily movements. Con

who are regarded, u* equally correct, his father
inW-nds to exhibit h.m, a* an object of curioaity,

THE MURDER OF MISS PEEVES.
Oft the night ol vVrdnetday, Aug"** 15, i/93,
Murder, attended wirii peculiar otict:m»fi*i»ces
(if attocity, was committed on the body of Miss ,
Elizabeth Reeves, of this city, aged IT.—
The sympathy which prevailed throughout the
rity fur the fate of this unfortunate girl, is still
fresh in the recollection of, many of the citizens
Governor Mifflin issued a Proclamation offering
a reward ot 300 dollars for the discovery of the
murderers, but without effect. Eighteen years
hud rolled away, without being able to discover
the perpetrators, the whole circumstance waa
fast consigning to oblivion, and justice was appa*
rently slumbering till the Last Day, when, on a
sudden, light shines forth on this deed of dark
ness, and a clue is given whereby to trace it
Last Saturday, Charles Breech, Isle a Con
stable in this city, was committed to jail, after a
hearing before the Mayor, charged with strong
suspicion of the aforesaid Murder, on the con
fession of his step mother, then at the point of
death. The statement she is said to have made
on oath is to the following import: That on the
night on which Elizabeth Reeves was murdered,
the accused came to his father's house witli his
clothes covered with blood, took otl his shirt,
threw it into a wash tub, and washed the hlood
offit.—That he was for sometime afterwards ve- ;
ry restless in his sleep, and would often make \
frightful exclamations. In the dead of night,
soon after the murder of Miss Reeves, she the !
i step mother, lieaid him groa.i, and went up into
I |i ia •• K! TTt *fh e* « — *1,* ;..i! I.. l S. !
I he answered, that a young woman had just been j
in the room, with a lighted candle in her hand,
that lie h.ul his face towards her when she first
entered the room, but he turned his back to her
as 8000 as he saw her. These, and same other
j occurrences, had induced her to suspect the ac-1
I cused of the murder, and she could not die in j
peace without divulging what she knew respect- i
ingit. The accused asserts his innocence, and
says, that he can prove that he was in the state of
Virginia, at the time Mi*»s Reeves was murdered.
1/e afterwards admitted that he was at home at
the lime, had read the governor’s proclamation
offering a reward for the murderer, and did not I
go to Vitgitua until the year afier. Another man !
who was with the accused at his father’s on the !
night of the murder, and who does not now live '
in this state, has likewise been accused, by the j
same woman, of being concerned with him in
the muider, and we undet stand that a stock hue
kle, which was found in the hands of the corpse,
is marked with the initials of that man’s name.
The following circumstantial account of the
Murder is copied from Dunlap’s American Dai
ly Advertiser, and Cannot fail to he interesting
at this moment. The almost prophetical remark
of Capt DunUp, that IhUtime would come when
the perpetrator of this foul murder, although he
should “ take refuge in the hollows ot the
mountains or in the oottom of the deep abyss,
must and will be \ omitted up again to appease
the- justice of the virtuous living,”—will strike
the reader as singularly emphalic&l.—Freeman's
Journal
From Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser.
Saturday August 18, 1792.
Thursday morning tne corpse of r young wo
man was found in one of the docks near Kensing
ton ; an inquest sat upon the body, but we have
not yet leaant their verdict. Report is, that they
brought in—Wilful murdtr by persons unknown
Ol this, however we shall soon oe ahle to lay the
particulars before our readers. In the mean
while we cannot refrain from communicating
such intelligence as has come within the range
of our enquiry—Her name is Elizabeth
Reeves, about 17 years ot age—handsome—
apprentice to a maniua maker, and courted by a
young tradesman of the vicinity, to whom it was
reported she was shortly to be espoused
In the afternoon of Wednesday, after her
work was done, she had requested leave of her
mistress to lake a walk to market, to purchase
some fruit; for which purpose she had obtained
liberty, and a small sum of money, from her mis
tress : who saw no more of her until yesterday ;
when, as it has been traced, a boy, being on the
fatal wharf at a very early hour, observed a man
■ heaving stones on something, which the boy soon
discovered to be the dead body oj a man or woman,
he could not tell which % that the instant the man
i saw the bay, he leaped into a batteau, and pushed
■ °ff d fcv> yards to a shallot>, that lay convenient,
j to which he made/test the batteau, and then board•
j mg the shallop, the latter put off with the tide doxiin
j the river, which wm favourable to the design at
j this moment.
I i lie iiany or a jemaie wiui goiu ear-rings, and
seme oilier marks of respectability, soon attract*
ed the notice of the citizens,—■•and the noise
reaching ttie ears of her mistress and an uncle,
(for the uufonunate girl was an orphan) her per
, son was soon ascertained. A comb which ahe
wore in her hair Was found at some paces distant,
lying in contact with a man’s black cravat, which
It .is been supposed to belong to———! Humani.
ty forbids our proceeding in this horrid recital,—
except to mention, that some officers belonging
to the custom house 4ent off a boat, as did seve
ral others, after the shallop before mentioned.
Justicr Coats took an active part to investi
gate and discover the perpetrators of this infer
nal deed—protcs-'onal persons of botn sexes
were brought to examine the body, and it was
the opinion-of the women that the unhappy girl
had beer --and then murdered’! from the
mai ks of violence on her f ice and other parts
Surely the earth and sea combined could not
hide avillianof so deep a die as he who could
have committed a crime like this—let him take
refuge in the hollows of the mountains, or in the
bottom of the deep abyss,—he must and will lie
vmnitted up again to appease the justice of the
virtuous living.
