A compleat and well-chosen assortment of DRY GOODS, well adapted to the present and approaching Season, by wholesale or retail, at a very low advance. Also, an assortment of GROCERIES.
A two story BRICK HOUSE on Main-street, an excellent situation for business. - That valuable and well known tract or parcel of LAND, situated at the mouth of Tate's creek, 15 miles from Lexington, on the main road leading to Madison courthouse, containing 1000 acres; 200 of which is excellent bottom, the remainder hilly, but well timbered; 80 acres cleared, and five acres in timothy meadow, and twenty more can be made and watered with very little expence. On the upper part of this tract is erected a MERCHANT and GRIST MILL - the situation is perfectly secure either from back water from the river, or floods in the creek - The house is fifty feet by forty with four floors - The merchant mill has a sixteen feet pitch back water wheel, double geared. French Burr stones; with building, hoisting, screening, fanning and packing work, by water - The Grist Mill has a 12 feet water wheel, over-shot and double geared: the whole new and in complete order - The water empties from those mills into a pond, whereon stands a saw mill in good repair, and a new hemp mill. - There is also on the premises, a new Framed Dwelling House, kitchen and store house with a number of useful cabins, and a large and never failing spring convenient; a ROPE-WALK covered 250 feet, and may be extended over a level piece of ground 150 fathoms with every apparatus suitable for manufacturing cordage; a young bearing peach orchard; also a number of bearing apple trees.

KENTUCKY.
An Act to amend the act entitled "An act to amend an act establishing a permanent revenue."
Approved Dec. 19, 1795.
§ 1. BE it enacted by the general assembly, that no person shall give in a list of his taxable property to a commissioner in any county except the county in which he shall reside: every person applied to by a commissioner, shall give in upon oath, besides the number of acres in each tract and the county and water course in which it is situated, an account of the names in which the entries were made, and for whom surveyed, if a survey has been made, and to whom patented, if a patent has issued if he is acquainted therewith; and the commissioner shall insert the same in his book. And if the party giving in his list of land shall swear that he does not know for whom the land was entered or surveyed, or to whom patented, the commissioner shall be at liberty to obtain the best information he can get, and insert the same in his book. The commonwealth shall have a perpetual lien on every tract of land and every part thereof, for the amount of all taxes due thereon; and any lands, slaves, goods or chattels, that any person may be possessed of, may be sold for the payment of all taxes due from such person, and where no lands or other property can be found on which distress can be made for the payment of taxes due from any person, the sheriff shall have credit with the auditor for the amount of such taxes, on his producing a certificate thereof from the court of the county; and such taxes due shall bear ten per centum interest until paid; and no alienation of lands belonging to such persons shall effect the claim and lien of this commonwealth, until the taxes due from such person with the interest thereon is paid.
§ 2. And be it further enacted, that the auditor shall keep a book for the purpose of receiving & entering lands of non residents in the manner herein after directed; and all non residents shall in future enter their lands with the auditor who shall administer an oath to the person delivering such lists or by any other means procure the best information in his power for the purpose of ascertaining the quality of such lands and enter each tract in the class he shall judge right and proper, placing such tract under the name of the county in which it shall be situated; and every non resident shall enter his lands agreeably to the rules and regulations of this act in the case of residents. All taxes due, or which shall hereafter become due with the interest on the lands of non residents, shall be paid to the treasurer, and his receipt being produced to the auditor, he shall give such non resident a quibus, no payment shall be considered a discharge of any tax until such quibus shall be obtained: when any non resident shall fail to pay the tax and interest due on any tract of land, within the time, and agreeably to the regulations prescribed by law, the auditor shall transmit the account of the taxes due, to the sheriff of that county where any lands of such non residents may lie, under the like regulations as lands listed by residents with a commissioner lying in a different county, and the sheriff shall proceed to sell the said tract or tracts lying within his county in the same manner and under the like regulations as resident's lands are by law directed to be sold.
§ 3. And be it further enacted, that where any sheriff has received or shall hereafter receive from any non resident or non residents any land tax, and shall not account for and pay the same into the treasury within the time prescribed by law, such sheriff shall be answerable for the money with interest thereon
from the receipt thereof: and moreover such sheriff and his security shall be liable to the party aggrieved for double damages and costs, by action on the case in any court of record within the commonwealth, having cognizance in similar cases. And when any person shall be entitled to a credit for any taxes paid on any lands for the year 1792 and 1793 such person shall apply to the county court who shall direct the sheriff to give such person credit for the amount thereof in any tax which may become due. And the court directing such credit shall transmit a certificate thereof to the auditor with a list of insolvencies, of persons removed out of the county, and the auditor shall give such sheriff credit therefor on a settlement of his accounts.
Whereas doubts have arisen concerning the construction of the act passed at the last session of assembly entitled 'An act to amend an act establishing a permanent revenue,' respecting the reduction of the taxes one fourth; for remedy whereof.
§ 4. Be it enacted, that the taxes which were or ought to have been collected in the year 1795, that were for the year 1794, be reduced one fourth, except the land tax, that was due prior to that year that was payable in the year 1795. And whereas in consequence of said doubts in some cases the collectors have only collected three fourths, on land that was due for the years 1792 and 1793, and it is proper that the arrearages of one fourth should be collected; for remedy whereof.
§ 5. Be it enacted, that it shall be the duty of the auditor to certify to the different collectors of each county, on or before the first day of March next, an account of the arrearages of taxes due on the collection made in the year 1795, for the land tax due for the year 1792 and 1793, in consequence of the deduction thereon made, with a list of the names of the persons from whom the same is due; and it shall be the duty of the different collectors to collect and account for the same in the same manner he is bound to collect the taxes due in the year 1796. And the auditor is further directed, that where the treasurer or collectors have collected the whole amount without any deduction of the tax due for the year 1794, that was received in the year 1795, to certify the same to the different collectors of each county where the same happened, describing the persons names and amount; which collector or is hereby directed to give a credit to the person or persons who have paid without deduction, for the said amount in the next or any collection due from him.
§ 6. And be it further enacted, that where any person has lived on second or third rate land, he shall have credit for the surplus of said tax, as is provided in case no person resided thereon.
§ 7. And be it further enacted, that the sheriffs of the several counties within this state shall give security which shall be approved of by the court of the county, in the month of November, in every year for the collection of the taxes due for that year.
§ 8. And be it further enacted, that the auditor shall receive the lists from the different sheriffs of the lands listed within one county and lying in another, as if the said lists had been transmitted to him by the first day of May last, any law to the contrary notwithstanding. And that the commissioners books may be uniform throughout the state,
§ 9. Be it therefore enacted that each commissioner shall keep for the purpose of entering lands and other taxable property under this act, a book in the following form, to wit.
The Form of Commissioner's Book too difficult to be inserted in a News-Paper.
