and a saw mill, in its neighbourhood,
were shattered to ruins, it is said to

, gentleman just arrived in town,
in si.c ila\s from Baltimore, inform:?
that the grand jury at Richmond have
found bills of indictment for Treason a
c-iinst Smith, Senator from Ohio, J.
Dayton, t. Tyler, Smith,Senator from
N. Yor/, and others.
lie also informs that the British ships

Wool Carding Machines.
I have in complete operation the Ma
chinery for Breaking Carding Woo1
hy water, on Buffalo creek, about three
quarters of a mile from Charlestown ,
"here the Wool can be carded in the
best manner, and put into rolls, at 10
cent:-: per pound; for colours handsome
ly intermixed, 12 cents; for breaking lor
Hatters use, .7 cents, T. he Wool must
he brought in sheets, to pack the rolls
m, which shall he done in such manner
as to be transported to any distance
without receiving injury. For every
eight pounds ol Wool, there must be
brought one pound of clean hog's fat t r
hysh butter. '1 he large burs, chips and
sticks must be taken out of the Wool.
I solicit the attention of Farmers to
this useful improvement ; anil as there
are many who are yet unacquainted with
the nature and usefulness of this ma
chinery. I think it proper to state, that
a woman can spin, with great ease, from
one third to one half more, ol rolls card
ed hy this machinery, than she can o7
those carded by hand. Besides, they
will make better yarn, consequently will
weave better, and make handsomer and
more durable cloth, blankets* linsev, or
stockings.
