TO SUBSCRIBERS.
"The second half year of the Wheel
ing Repository commenced on the
12th of November last, with the 27th
number. Gentlemen who have received
from the beginning* will please to take
notice that a second payment was then
due-The paper on which the Reposi
tory is now printed, costs in this place
about ninety per cent, more than paper
at Chambersburgh and other places east
of the mountains. The Editor mentions
this in the hope that it will be considered
an urgent reason for punctuality in mak
ing payment. f Ieacknowledges \\ ith gra
titude the attention of a number of his
Patrons, who have honourably complied
with the terms of subscription.—But
‘.here are others, (a few of whom perhaps
have not had an opportunity) who have
yet paid nothing, although they have
been furnished with the Repository
from its commencement. These per
sons are requested to reflect, that a con
siderable proportion of the amount of
their subscriptions, has been expended
for paper to supply them....They are re
spectfully and earnestly solicited to be
more punctual. They shall then, as real
patrons, have the sincere thanks of
The Editor.

black Salts, set a leach tub, as in making
soap. When a sufficient quantity of ley
is obtained, begin to boil down,and keep
up the evaporation by putting in cold
ley. When it is intended to dry off the
Salts, stop supplying the evaporation ;
and when the Salts are reduced to the
consistency of brown sugar, take them
off, and put them into coolers. When
cooled,they should be kept from the air.
Only the first running of ley ought to be
boiled down. The second and third run
nings should be reserved for ,a fresh
quantity of Ashes.
