AN Apprentice to the Hating business; enquire of the Printer, Lexington, Feb. 16, 1793.
MR. BRADFORD,
Please to insert the following account in your useful Paper; and oblige, sir, your humble servant.
ON the 30th day of January of the present year 1793, there fell the largest snow known in these parts for several years. At which time happened a surprising event, of which a particular account has been since received.
JUPITER, who presides over the weather and governs the mighty storms, came down in that uncommon shower, and condescend to enter into a free particular conversation with one Tyrannus a residenter in this state. That Tyrannus might not be overwhelmed, or restrained by terror from speaking his mind freely, the Deity divested himself of all the ensigns of divine power and majesty, and appeared in the gentle form of a friendly neighbour. He had observed, Tyrannus with a sovereign air of authority quite natural to the family, ordering a negro man, who was much more thinly clad than himself, to provide fuel, feed his horses, cattle &c. while he sat diverting himself by a large fire. On which the God enters into discourse with him, and the following dialogue ensued.
Jupiter. I who entered your house in the humble form of your well known neighbour, and under that disguise have been conversing with you a considerable while, am Jupiter the greatest and the best of celestial Deities, who formed these gloomy clouds, direct their various motions, and am now wrapping this globe in sheets of snow. I assume this humble state that your mind may be free from terror, and that you may enjoy an uncontrouled liberty of expressing all the thoughts of your heart.
Tyrannus. Mighty Jupiter, I humbly bow in thy presence, and gratefully acknowledge thy divine condescension. I shall use the freedom thou art graciously pleased to allow me.
J. This man, Tyrannus, whom you command with such an air of authority, is my creature; I formed him of clay; I made him for myself.
T. I acknowledge, mighty Jove, that thou art his maker; for the surprising organization of his body exceeds all finite skill, and never could be the effect of chance: but he is now mine; I bought him with my money, which I presume gives me a better title than that founded on creation.
J. He is my child; I am the father of his spirit.
T. True; but I bought his soul as well as his body.
J. You bought his soul?
T. Yes; I bought his soul; without it, his body would have been of no service to me.
J. I made him a rational creature; a free moral agent, that, as such, he might be accountable to me for all his actions.
T. Yes; but I purchased his free agency for the large sum of eighty five pounds, its full value; it is now mine, and to me it is accountable.
J. Your purchase, Tyrannus, can never free him from the moral obligations he is under to me. He is my servant, and for my glory he is, and was created; and is bound to obey my laws.
T. Great Jupiter, thou knowest that it is impossible he should belong to two masters, and serve two masters, at the same time; therefore since he is mine, by lawful purchase, his soul, his body, his free agency, his ALL is mine. His obedience and service are wholly due to me; I may use them at my pleasure. If I command him to neglect the worship of the Gods, or spend the time consecrated to this holy purpose in running on errands or doing other business; if I command him to put away his wife, neglect his children or do any other thing forbidden or not forbidden by the Gods, he is bound to obey me; and for every act of disobedience, deserves, and shall receive condign punishment. Since he is mine, I may presume to say, when I have no use for his soul or his body, he may serve thee; and thus answer the great end of his creation.
J. With regard to free agency, liberty, and the right of judging of and pursuing his own duty and happiness, I made him your equal.
T. Of this truth I have long been fully convinced: all men are equal, in these respects, as they come out of thy creating hand; I acknowledge this on every occasion. But by a strange kind of Legerdemain, of which I understand something myself, he was changed into a horse, before I purchased him. Had he remained a human creature, a man like myself, I could not, I dare not, have purchased him, and considered and treated him as my property. Could I even now believe him to be a man, I should dread thy tremendous thunderbolts; but—how could I part with my money!
J. These children too you call your own; what right have you to them?
T. I solemnly declare in thy presence, great Jupiter, the mother of these children was, by the forementioned mysterious art of Legerdemain, metamorphosed into a mare; and these young ones, tho' they have the shape, members, senses, and perform all the actions of children, are in reality brutes. Being born of a mare they can be nothing but colts. Desirous to raise a flock, I purchas-

ed this mare as a breeder; and therefore all her colts belong to me and mine forever.
J. But do you not believe in your conscience, Tyrannus, that this change was wrought by a black art, which came from hell, and that Pluto was the inventor of it?
T. I hope, mighty Jove, yea I persuaded myself to believe, that the art was from heaven, and approved by the Gods.
J. What reason had you to imagine any such thing?
T. I found a propensity in my heart to believe it; I observed that Venus gave a sly smile of approbation; that Mammon clapped his hands for joy; that Vulcan appeared highly pleased; & all the terrestrial Gods justified the art, and on this footing claimed divine honors.
J. Venus smiled through mere wantonness; Mammon clapped his hands, because he saw it would increase the number of his votaries; Vulcan was pleased at the prospect of an increasing demand for thunderbolts, and consequently of more custom to his infernal shop; and as for the terrestrial Deities, they justified it only to support their own divinity, and fill their bellies.
T. I am now convinced the art and the act was wicked. But I cannot help it. The terrestrial Gods have done it: the fault is not mine. I found this mare, a mare; with my money I made her and her colts mine.
J. As Sovereign of the world, I claim to myself the sole right of fixing the fate of future generations, & this my glory I will never resign to mortals.
T. True, omnipotent Jove; but this black art has changed times and laws, and quite altered the nature of things. It has made it the indispensable duty of moral agents to continue and support what is against thy right and thy laws of nature. It has made it just and reasonable to act contrary to reason and justice. To metamorphose women into mares, & their children into colts, must be blame worthy even in terrestrial Gods; in mere men it would be extremely impious and profane. But when it is done, the brutes are brutes; and it becomes lawful and right to continue them such. It would be great injustice to change them again into human creatures; because they are now men's property, they would then be no longer such, and men must lose their right. I now justly claim this mare, and all her colts forever, as mine; and he would be a wicked villain, and a robber, who would not acknowledge and support my claim: and especially should he presume to re-metamorphose my stock of horses into human creatures. Those who made them brutes trespassed on the rights of heaven; and those who shall make them human creatures again will trespass on the rights of men; which the Gods forbid. May I know, omnipotent Jupiter, why this breed of horses are all black? Are they not hereby marked out for inferior servile uses?
J. You have heard of the bold adventure of Phaeton, who presumed to drive the chariot of the sun; you have heard of his sad disaster, how he perished by my thunderbolts. Had not the rash youth perished thus, the whole earth must have been consumed in the solar blaze. I interposed and snatched it from impending ruin. But before Vulcan had time to forge the thunder, the inhabitants of Africa, being most exposed, had well nigh perished by the approach of heaven's blazing lamp. This dark tinge is the effect; and it remains until this day.
But who of all the inhabitants of
earth had the arrogance to assume my divine prerogative, and thus abuse my creatures and change the laws of heaven enacted for their government?
T. Dread Sovereign of heaven, it was thy son Alexander, whom thou, in the fictitious shape of a serpent, didst condescend to beget. His nature partook much of the serpent, and retains it still. Still he is crafty, false and bold. Still he prides himself in his divine pedigree; forgets the serpent, and thinks his power little inferior to thine. He still
Assumes the God
Affects to nod,
And seems to judge the world.
He called a council of terrestrial Deities, presided therein, and assured them, "That thou didst know, that they should not surely die, but be as Gods," if they would metamorphose thy rational creatures into brutes; and that they should rank with the Gods, and receive divine honors. They therefore exercised their art & fixed the fate of thousands and thousands of thy rational creatures born and unborn. They changed them into brutes. They did not decree that ever they should be restored to humanity; but swore by Styx that they never should, except on conditions fixed by them. At this awful deed and this tremendous oath, heaven wept and hell rejoiced! tho' I dare not approve of the deed of this council; but think it a trespass on thy divine prerogative; yet I rejoice in the event; I rejoice to receive good from this evil. By doing wrong they have made it right for me to keep my property, which I love dearer than my own soul, until the Gods all confer upon me an ample compensation.
J. But you the sons of earth obeyed the proclamation issued by the son of the serpent, elected his council, gave them their power, and authorised them to act in your name.
T. It is true we elected them to act for us; but we did not, we could not, give them power to exercise the black art, & metamorphose men, free moral agents, into brutes, and make them the property of their brethren; for we had not this power to give; thou, great Jupiter, didst never confer it upon us. They assumed it of their own accord; we are entirely free of the guilt; and have only to rejoice in the fruits of their unrighteous deed. They have repealed the celestial laws, and established terrestrial; which change the nature of things, and make right wrong and wrong right, sin duty and duty sin; and it is whispered about that they mean to pile mountain on mountain, till they take heaven by storm.
On this, Jupiter greatly provoked, assumed the majestic terrors of an incensed Deity; and said, O ye presumptuous and wicked mortals, whether the son of the serpent, the members of his council, or ye who rejoice in iniquity, the thunderbolts of my just indignation shall soon blast your devoted heads.
He then ascended his native skies; the snow ceased to fall, the parting clouds gave way, and the bright heavens joyfully received their returning King.
PARIS, November 1.
A great many Prussians and Austrians present themselves daily before the Council General of the Commons claiming the promised bounties; but in future a strict enquiry is to be made into their characters, as the greater part of them are suspected to be enemies in disguise.
The Parisians are now all confidence in the success of the new system—thus writes a popular journalist:
"The old French monarchy was a vessel that leaked at every seam—at length, to compleat its catastrophe, it has taken fire and burnt down to the water's edge, while all who adhered to the wreck have perished. It now remains to construct a ship that may resist every attack of the elements. The political horizon is cleared of the clouds which have hitherto darkened it—the sun of liberty has purified it—conspiracy is annihilated. In a short time—in a month—we shall have all the materials in readiness requisite for the construction of that august monument, which is to replace the Gothic edifice of Feudality. A new declaration of rights should be presented to the Convention, and then let them forget all their private quarrels, and employ themselves solely on the business they were called upon by their constituents to transact." With all our hearts we agree with this writer; but will fashion thus expire before the wish of patriotism?
NEW-YORK, January 18. Extract of a letter from l'Orient, dated Sept. 22.
"As I suppose that the enemies of liberty have caluminated the people of Paris for the execution they have made, I think it proper to give you an idea how the whole was conducted.
And first, I must tell you, that the executive power, since a long time, was betraying us in the most abominable manner. Traitors to the country were numerous, and were not punished; the prisons were full of such people, and the law seemed suspended in their favour! It was only on the 10th of August last, that the great conspiracy against the people, was discovered; the King, his Ministers, Marquis la Fayette, and all the refractory Clergy, together with the Nobility, were found, for the most part, guilty of treason against their country and the Rights of Man! In the mean time, the enemy was advancing very fast, the frontiers which La Fayette commanded, together with his army, were in the most defenceless state; it had been done on purpose, that our enemies might come in without difficulty; in fine, every thing was disposed in such a manner, that if the conspiracy had not been discovered so soon, we should at present be no more! For a general massacre was intended, and France would be now but a heap of ruins.
"In that situation, the people of Paris, against whom the vengeance of tyranny was particularly directed, resolved to punish the traitors who infested the capital and filled the prisons—but you must not think that they killed all the prisoners without distinction, or without proofs of their having conspired against their country, no! the people were just—they named twenty-two jurymen for that purpose, who transported themselves to the prisons, and the prisoners were judged by those jurymen in presence of the people! those who proved themselves innocent, a cry of Vive la Nation, was the signal of their being acquitted; and, on the contrary, those that were proved guilty, were immediately executed.
"There have been three or four thousand executed in that way in a very short space of time; perhaps few innocent men have suffered."
BALTIMORE, January 29.
We are informed, that when Mr. Blanchard, after his ariel excursion, on the 9th inst. was attempting to descend from his perpendicular height of two miles, he was espied by two Jersey farmers, a few miles beyond Woodbury, in Gloucester county, one of whom was so terrified, that taking the aeronaut for some sky-man, hotly inclined, he ran to his house for a gun, to defend himself. It was in vain that Mr. Blanchard called to them for assistance in mooring his balloon; their fears conquered every other consideration: and it was not till some citizens of Philadelphia came up, who had followed on horseback, that he was safely landed.
Late letters from Europe, mention all Italy to be in a state of disorder. The people dreading above all things a visit from the armies and fleets of France. The Pope had held a Consistory, in which it was agreed to raise a general tax upon all his benefices; to contribute to the defence of the ecclesiastical states, and to succour the King of Sardinia. It is also said that the prejudices of his subjects operate strongly against the present Pope, Pius the 6th, and his conclave; the old verse constantly recurring to their imaginations— Semper sub Sextis perdita Roma fuit.
January 31.
A letter of the 23d of November from Liverpool, to a gentleman in this town, states, that it is expected that all Tithes will shortly be abolished.
A London paper of November 3, says a soldier was lately flogged for reading Paine's Rights of Man. This had an effect nearly similar with the proclamation; it rendered all his comrades anxious to see the book, and may inspire some of them with the erroneous idea that they have a common cause with the oppressed peasantry of the country.
Mr. John Parker, of Philadelphia, has now in the press, and speedily to be published, the Impeachment of M. de la Fayette ;—containing his accusations stated in the report of the extraordinary commission to the National Assembly, on the 8th of August, 1792) supported by M. Brissot de Warville, and his defence by Mr. Vaublanc; with a Supplement, containing the letters and other authentic pieces relative thereto.—Translated from the French—by WILLIAM COBBETT, of Wilmington, Delaware.
A young woman by the name of Molly Culeigh, alias Cooley, who now resides at Saratoga Springs, was stolen by the Indians eleven years since, in some part of the United States, where she does not know. The printers on the western frontiers will oblige the unfortunate female, by giving this a place in their papers, that her relations may know where to find her. [ Vermont Gaz. ]
The following singular marriage was celebrated in a country town not long since: the bride was a young woman; the bridegroom who was no less than 90, addressed the Clergyman, when he was going to perform the ceremony:—"Fifty years since," said he "in obedience to the first great command to increase and multiply, I was married by your grandfather; at this time of day I expected to have had a grand son, able and willing to supply my place: but I find myself again compelled to come forward in my own person, as my grandson is too much of a fine gentleman to have any regard for the interests of society, and is too deeply engaged in the

career of fashionable dissipation, to be qualified for the discharge of so important a duty."
The following unfortunate event took place a few days ago, near Middletown, Monmouth county, New-Jersey. A young man from New-York, named Adams, went late in the evening, with a companion, to a house, where lived a girl to whom he paid his addresses. Finding the family asleep, they agreed to disturb the poultry house by way of giving a jocular alarm to the owner. Mr. Morrel, who was in bed in the dwelling house, upon hearing the noise, got up, and suspecting thieves, instantly discharged a musket, loaded with heavy shot, towards the poultry house, and unfortunately shot Adams through the heart, who instantly expired. What rendered this accident still more affecting was Adams being a suitor of Mr. Morrel's wife's sister.
LEXINGTON, April 6.
On the 26th of March, a company consisting of 9 men, 2 women & eight children, on their way to this state, were attacked about five miles from the Hazle Patch toward Laurel river, about an hour before sun set, by a party of Indians supposed to be about thirty. The nine men dismounted and defended the women and children for about fifteen minutes, during which time they fired four or five rounds, but being over powered and the Indians closing on in all sides, the whole were killed or taken, except four, who escaped, one of which is dangerously wounded.
Names of the killed and missing. Joel Carder and his family; James Anthony and family; Mathews Flournoy; Spilman and Thomas Peni- Ron, James Jones wounded. Robt Hill, James M'Farland and William Anthony escaped unhurt. The above account is given by one of the men who escaped.
We are just now informed that Peni- Ron and one of the children, that was missing, has since come in.
On Monday evening last, Morgan's Station on Slate creek, was taken and burnt by a party of thirty-five Indians; two of the inhabitants were killed and nineteen taken prisoners; they were pursued, and within about thirty miles the whole of the prisoners were found tomahawked and scalped, one of which (a woman) was found alive in her sen- ses, after being tomahawked and two scalps taken off. — we have the above information from the husband of the unfortunate woman.
On Saturday last the Indians killed a man on the Beech fork of Salt ri- ver.
Monday evening they stole about 30 horses from Man's lick. The same day a boat was fired on in the Ohio at the 18 mile Island by about 25 Indians, luckily nobody was hurt. On Tuesday evening they took a boy from Eakin's mill in Jef- ferson county, and carried him to the Ohio then set him at liberty and gave him a knife and pipe-tomahawk. The same day took a man coming from the Salt-works to Steel's Fer- ry.
The above information received by the post-rider.

SACRED TO THE MUSES. THE SEASONS.
HOW mild the balmy breath of Spring! How fair the softening vernal sky! Hark! how the woodland minstrels sing! Hark! how the whispering zephyrs sigh!
Usurping Summer shifts the scene, And boldly flames in brighter day; How transient is its servid beam! Shot but to dazzle and decay.
Brown Autumn comes in solemn grade; Unlocks her bounteous stores in vain; How quick her to-tering honors fade! How faint her strength, how short her reign!
See Winter fierce, in mad career! Expiring nature blooms no more, No flowrets now to deck the year, For music, hark! the tempest roar! Thus life's progressive seasons pass, Our vernal blush, our our riper bloom, Our sober autumn's sinking glass, Sad prelude to a wintry tomb!
WHEREAS my wife Mary Mattocks, has without any just cause eloped from my bed and board, and has taken up with a certain William Gibson, I hereby forewarn all persons from crediting her on any account as I am determined to pay no debts of her contracting.
