Mr. Ii. Blanncrhasset arrived at Jef
fersonville, on Saturday evening last.
It being suspected that he was fleeing
from justice, he was arrested and held
to bail to appear beiore an examining
court this morning at Jeffersonville ; it
is stated that if he should prove success
ful in his trial to day, and not attend
Ids trial at Chillicothe, the penalty can
not be inflicted, as the recognizance by
which he is bound, being very defec
tive, particularly not mentioning the
court before which he was to appear.
The ships Tuskarora and Rufus King,
which broke from their mootings and
floated down the river on the 19th ult.
are now well situated for repair; the
fuskarora drifted on the point of Flint

AsHfcs Wanted. .
Eight cents per bushel for field, and
ten cents for house Ashes, will he given,
in Dry Goods, at the Subscriber’s Store.
Care must he taken to keep those made
in the field from a mixture of earth. It
is computed that one acre will produce
five hundred bushels.
Those who live at a distance, will find
an advantage in reducing the Ashes to
black Salts, for which three dollars per
hundred weight will be given. As every
Farmer is provided with sugar-kettles,
leaching the Ashes and reducing the ley
to black Salts, n ill fie attended w ith vtfry
little trouble or expence. To obtain
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
1 y. When it is intended to dry oft the
Salts, stop supplying the evaporation ;
and when the Salts are reduced to the
consistency of brown sugat, take them
off, and put them into coolers. Whin
cooled,they should be kept from the air.
Only the first running of Icy ought to he
boiled down. The second and third run
nings should fie reserved for a fresh
quantity of Ashes.
