T’\‘ •" d neither to accept nor reject it.—
Mr. Hay has filed it with the clerk. A
question has risen, whether he is bound
to answer questions which may crimi

ged upon it.
The court awarded the subpoenas (tu
tu tecum, mentioned in our last, to pro

on the application of Mr. Hay, had de
termined to send on all the papers, ex

and the original letter from Wilkinson.
A letter from the President to Mr. Hav
t ites, that on Burr’s arre st Wilkinson’s
1 tter was handed to the attorney gene

with papers so voluminous as to render
a compliance impracticable, declaring at

Wool Cardikc Machike*:
i have in complete operation the Ma
chinery for Breaking S; Carding Wool,
by water, on Buffalo creek, about three
quarters of a mile from Charlestown-;
where the Wool can he carded in the
best manner, and put into rolls, at 10
cents per pound; for colours handsome*
ly intermixed, 12 cents; for breaking for
Hatters’ use, 5 cents. The Wool must
be brought in sheets, to pack the rolls
in, which shall be 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 or
lresh butter. The large burs, chips and
sticks must be taken out of the Wool.
I solicit the attention of Farmers to
this usetul improvement ; and as there
are many w ho are yet unacquainted with
the nature and usefulness of this ma
chinery, 1 think it proper to state, that
a w oman can spin, with great case, from
one third to one half more, of rolls card
ed by this machinery, than she can of
those Carded by hand. Besides, they
w ill make better yarn, consequently will
w cave better, and make handsomer and
more durable cloth, blankets, linsey, or
stockings.
