VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
The public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACLEAN & POYZER , will in future be sold by Mr. NATHANIEL HART , only, in Lexington, Messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, Sore Throats and approaching Consumption. To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
INEALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS.
For the Cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in an hundred had occasion to take more than one, numbers not half a bottle.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Henry C. Saper, Kent County, Delaware.
"I have given the ague drops to a number of patients this fall, and with constant success; in some obstinate cases they acted like a charm, the diseases yielding in a day or two to this remedy, after resisting the barks for months, and when they had been thrown in the largest doses."
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
For corns speedily removing them root and branch without giving pain.
DR. HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—Juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea—frequent intoxication, or any other destructive influence, temperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And it is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Nervous disorders, Consumption, Indigestion, Losses of spirits, Melancholy, Loss of appetite, Relaxations, Impurities of the blood, Involuntary emissions, Hysterical affections, Obsolete gleet, Inward weakness, Fluor albus, &c.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and sending forth from that organ new health and vigour into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without endangering it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores the nutrition which immoderate evacuations have destroyed and whole loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old strains, and relaxations, numbness and weakness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chilblains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold and windy complaints in the stomach and bowels, flying pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experience sufficiently prove the superiority of the above medicines over all others, in the cure of the maladies we have enumerated.
Letter from Dr. Weatherburn. Wythe county, Virg. October 7, 1801.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in Materia Medica , and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease.
If you think this letter may be useful, you are at liberty to make it public.
P. WEATHERBURN.
Messrs. R. LEE & Co.

HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Description of worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz the Teres, or large round worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat white worm, the Ascarides or small maw worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape—this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning, bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation or speech—starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—purging, with slimy and foeted stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and fickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs with loveliness of spirits—flow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
This medicine, which is innocent and mild, as it is certain and effectual in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders proceed.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance and agreeable taste.
As upwards one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, and of every age, have received benefit from this extraordinary medicine, a multitude of certificates of cures may be seen, in addition to those already published.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint—particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Letter from Mr. Benj. Williams, No. 50, Baltimore Street, two doors above South-Gay-street.
Gentlemen, I have for six years of age, who for four years past has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in the summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasting fast, his breath became foeted, an almost constant itching of the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore was successively procured. Each of these gentlemen in their turn declared worms to be the cause of his disorder, and exhausted their skill in attempts to expel them. pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had frequently heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges , but like many others, did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moor) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make a trial of them. I accordingly gave my son a dose, agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms (some of them about 12 inches in length); a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worm appeared. The child recovered, and now enjoys a good state of health.

TUESDAY, January 12, 1802.
DEBATE
On Mr. Breckenridge's motion to repeal the act passed last session for a new organization of the JUDICIARY SYSTEM.
Mr. Tracy of Connecticut. Feeble as I am, I have thought it my duty to offer my sentiments, on this subject. Owing to severity of indisposition, I have not been in my place, nor have I heard any of the discussion. This circumstance will be my apology, if in the remarks I shall make, repetitions shall occur on the one hand, and apparent inattention to arguments on the other.
Having been a member of this government during several years, and being impressed with the difficulties attending the formation of a judiciary system, I have thought proper to give a concise history of legislative proceedings on this important subject. Permit me to say, sir, that the first institution of such a system, must be an experiment. It is impossible to ascertain until tried, the effects of a system co-extensive with the vast territory of the United States, and which ought to be adapted to the different laws and habits of the different states.
Soon after the first law was enacted, as early as the year 1793, and I believe sooner, complaints were made of the system of circuit courts. The union then being divided into three circuits, and two of the six judges, were obliged to attend each court, if one judge failed, all the business of course was continued to the next term. Judges complained of the distance they had to travel, and suitors and lawyers complained of delays. In 1793, if my memory is correct, the law passed allowing one judge to attend with the district judge in each district, with some other modifications not important in the present view of the subject. If by reason of distance, badness of roads, sickness or any other accident, this one judge failed of attendance, or if he and the district judge differed on any point a delay was occasioned.
If the same judge attended the same circuit at the next term another delay, and so on, till experiment taught us, that some alteration in the system was requisite. It will be recollected, that the judges had to travel over this extensive country twice in each year, and to encounter the extremes of both heat and cold. Of this they complained; but this was not all; the business was not done.
At several sessions of Congress, the subject of the circuit courts was before them; committees were appointed in both Houses, and in more than one communication of the executive at the commencement of sessions, a revision of the system was recommended. I cannot on memory detail the exact particulars, or order of time; but in the speech made by the President at the opening of the session 1799, the subject is stated as
follows. "To give due effect to the civil administration of government, and to ensure a just execution of the laws, a revision and amendment of the judiciary system is indispensably necessary. In this extensive country, it cannot but happen, that numerous questions respecting the interpretation of the laws, and the rights and duties of officers and citizens must arise. On the one hand, the laws should be executed; on the other, individuals should be guarded from oppression; neither of these objects is sufficiently assured, under the present organization of the judicial department; I therefore earnestly recommend the subject to your serious consideration."
Although this subject had been recommended before, and committees had contemplated a revision and alteration of the system, I do not remember, that a bill had ever been presented to either House of Congress until 1799. In that session, a bill was reported similar in its features to the act which passed last session. It might have been acted upon in the house of representatives; of this however, I am not confident; but I recollect it was printed, and the members of both houses had it before them; and at the last session with some alterations and amendments, it was enacted into a law. I believe all parties wished for a revision and amendment of the system, in respect to circuit courts: the difference of opinion was principally this; some supposed an increase of the judges of the supreme court to such a number, as would render the duties of the circuit practicable for them, and provided for the completion of business, would be the best amendment and others thought the law, as it passed, was preferable.
I acknowledge, that in deliberating upon this subject, we always assumed the principle, that the establishment of courts was important to protect the rights of the people; we did not fear an army of judges, as has been hinted by the gentleman who was last up. (Mr. Jackson.) In this opinion we might be mistaken, but we were honest in our professions; although some believed, that more of the business of the United States, might be confided to the state courts; yet it is not within my recollection, that the question was considered in any measure a party question. I am confident, that at the session of 1799, and for a long time before that, the friends of this law, which eventually passed last winter, could not, nor did not, contemplate any change of administration. A revision of the system was long a subject of deliberation; we believed an increase of circuit judges, to the number requisite to perform the duties, would be an inconvenient increase of the supreme court; and though it was desirable for the judges of the supreme court to see the people and be seen of them, yet, the preference was given to the system now proposed to be repealed. We supposed it would be an evil to increase the number of judges of the supreme court to 13, 15 or 17. A court which is to act together, should not be numerous; on this subject all men have agreed; here may be danger of an army of judges, as the gentleman says; for although in Great Britain the twelve judges are sometimes called to give an opinion; yet no man will feel equal confidence in a tribunal of judges for the business of a court, consisting of many, as of few; from 3 to 5, the good sense and experience of all nations has declared to be about the proper number; and we thought it conducive to the general good, to establish tribunals in such manner, as to carry justice to the door of every man.
In this modification of the system, the jurisdiction of the circuit court has been extended, as it respects the sum in demand of which they are to take cognizance, and as it respects the disputes which arise concerning the title of lands, and exclusive jurisdiction is given of all crimes committed within 50 miles of their place of session. The intention was to ensure a prompt execution of justice, and experiment alone can test the wisdom of the plan.
I take it to be a found rule, adopted by all wise and deliberative bodies, not to repeal an existing law, until experiment shall have discovered errors, or unless there is a vice so apparent on the face of the law, as that justice shall require an immediate destruction of it. Has there

been time to gain information by experience. No man will pretend this as a justification of the repeal; for the little time the law has been in force, so far as I have obtained any knowledge upon the subject, it has gained credit.
Another maxim in legislation I think is correct, not to give up a law in existence, which is convenient about extensive and important concerns of the community, and about which there is a necessity of enacting some law; without seeing clearly what can be substituted for it and that the substituted has manifest advantages. This resolution leads to no result but a repeal. I have stated the errors of the former system of circuit courts & if experience is an objection to the present system, as I have heard urged out of doors, the same or nearly as much must be incurred, if we increase the number of judges of the supreme court, to effect a reform in the circuit court. Why repeal this law then and leave us without any, or without any adequate to its purpose?
Is this system so very vicious, that it deserves nothing but abhorrence and destruction? It costs us a little more than thirty thousand dollars, and by it the number of circuit judges is increased to fifteen; and by it likewise is contemplated reducing the number of supreme judges to five, when it can constitutionally be done. Is the expence an object, when by that expence we extend the jurisdiction of a court over this vastly extensive growing country, and carry law and protection to every man? This country is in a singular condition, a great tract of unsettled lands is peopling with rapidity, and numerous immigrations increase our population far beyond its natural increase; is it not of importance, that courts should be located among them, early to correct the selfish spirit, which is frequent in the new and scattered settlements? And are not the immigrations composed of such as require the prompt assistance of the law, to preserve among them regularity? Punishment, to us, and to all good men should be a strange work, but to prevent crimes, is the work of a God. I speak to gentlemen, who have many of them graced the judges bench, and adorned the professional robe they have worn, and am therefore not obliged to be particular; that I may be understood; a word to the wise will be sufficient. A judiciary in a national point of view is absolutely necessary, and an extension of it to every national purpose is equally necessary. To depend upon state courts, not under obligations, nor amenable to you, besides having as much business allotted to them by the respective states as they can accomplish, and depending upon them and not on us for existence; will require only to be mentioned, to be exploded. Locating your judges in various parts of the country, by them promulgating the national laws, which it is well known has been a subject of great difficulty, and giving them daily opportunity of mixing with people, not well disposed to order and law; may prevent disorders and insurrections, and save millions of expence, which pecuniary saving will be the least of the important events arising from such a system.
But it will probably be said, the courts have not business to employ them; and the documents received from the executive will be produced in evidence. And it may further be said, the President has in his message, recommended a repeal of this law. The words of the message are "the judiciary system of the United States and especially that portion of it lately erected, will of course present itself to the contemplation of Congress; and that they may be able to judge of the proportion which the institution bears to the business it has to perform, I have caused to be procured from the several States, and now lay before Congress, an exact statement of all the causes decided since the first establishment of the courts, and of those that were depending when additional courts and judges were brought into their aid."
Is this a recommendation to repeal? Suppose for argument sake it is. Let us look at this exact statement. In the recapitulation, 19th page of document 8, there appears to have been instituted 8276 suits, and pending when this court went into operation, 1539.—But on further inspection, it will be found that Maryland is entirely omitted, this omission is unaccountable, since the means of knowledge were so near at hand. 119 causes undecided in Tennessee; 134 in North Carolina, and 331 in Virginia, are omitted; making in the whole an error of 5 or 600 causes. In addition to this the number of suits in New-York are not stated correctly by the statement of the attorney when he made the return, and not one is carried out as pending in the recapitulation; and the return of Massachusetts is incorrect on its face; so that nothing more than conjecture can be derived from this exact statement. The President is usually more correct, and how this peremptory language in the message comports with the document, every man can see for himself.—I am not disposed to attribute intentional error to any man, much less to the executive; but in point of use the statement amounts to nothing, we may just as well imagine without it as with it, how many suits were pending, at the institution of the new courts.
But I acknowledge that the number of suits pending is not in my mind any criterion upon which a correct judgement may be formed of the utility or necessity of courts, or to say the most of it, it forms but one ground of judging, and that not a very conclusive one. In a country thinly settled it is frequently as important to establish courts, as in a more populous country; and as this government is situated, it may be more so; and yet the number of suits will bear no proportion. Why did we establish courts in our territorial government but on this principle?
A number of courts properly located will keep the business of any country in such condition as but few suits will be instituted; and courts badly organized will discourage suitors and there will be but few actions returned.—From the number of suits alone, there can no found judgement be formed.
But there is another objection to the repeal of the judiciary law, which in my mind is conclusive; I mean the letter and spirit of the constitution.
In the formation of every government in which the people have a share in its administration, some established and indisputable principles must be adopted.—In our government, the formation of a legislative, executive and judiciary power, is one of the incontrovertible principles, and that each should be independent of the other so far as human frailty will permit, is equally incontrovertible. Will it be expected, that I should quote Sidney, De Lolme, Montesquieu, and a host of elementary writers to prove this assertion? There is probably no conflict of opinion upon this subject. When we look into our constitution of government, we shall find in every part of it, a close and undeviating attention to this principle. Our particular form is singular in its requirements, that full force and operation be given to this all important principle. Our powers are limited, many acts of sovereignty are prohibited to the national government, and retained by the states and many restraints are imposed upon state sovereignty. If either, by accident or design, should exceed its powers, there is the utmost necessity that some timely checks equal to every exigency should be interposed. The judiciary is established by the constitution for that valuable purpose.
Lexington, February 19.
Between three and four o'clock on Wednesday morning last, the citizens of this town were roused from their slumbers by the cry of FIRE! which had broke out in a cooper's shop on Main-street. The fire had got to such a height before it was discovered that all attempts to save the shop were ineffectual. It was entirely consumed with the tools, &c.
*** From the general desire of the owners of Stud Horses, to advertise in the Newf-papers, and from the impossibility of gratifying that desire; we have come to a determination to publish a work, under the title of "The General Stud Book (of Kentucky.)" and circulate a copy once every two weeks, to each of our subscribers, with the newspapers, for six weeks, printed in a form to be folded up and preserved as a book. The advantages of such a work will be, that about 2000 copies will be circulated of the advertisements of each Stud, a great proportion of which will be preserved, and thereby enable every one who chooses, to trace the pedigree of every horse published in said book, and his connection with the most esteemed strain of horses, and put it in the power such as have not a complete pedigree of their horses to make out one with ease; as well as detect such as may attempt to impose on the public false pedigrees.
The first number of the work is circulated with this paper—Those gentlemen who are desirous of having their horses published in the Stud Book, will please to make application immediately, in order that proper arrangements may be made for their appearance in the second number, which will be circulated with the paper of the 2d March. The price will be the same as if published in this paper.
BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Monday, Feb. 1, 1802.
Mr. Breckenridge gave notice, that he would on the next day move that the select committee, to whom had been referred the judiciary bill, should be discharged from any further consideration thereof.
Tuesday, Feb. 2.
Mr. Rofs presented a memorial from the gentlemen of the bar of Philadelphia, unanimously remonstrating against the repeal of the present judiciary system.
Mr. Breckenridge then made the above motion, on which a debate of some length ensued, on which messrs. Breckenridge, Cocke, S. T. Mason, Anderson, Wright, Baldwin, and Jackson supported, and messrs. Dayton, Rofs, Tracy, Morris opposed the motion.
When the yeas and nays were taken, as follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Anderson, Baldwin, Bradley, Breckenridge, Brown, Cocke, Ellery, Th. Foster, Franklin, Jackson, Logan, S. T. Mason, Nicholas, Stone, Sumter, Wright—16.
Nays—Messrs. Colhoun, Chipman, Dayton, D. Foster, Hillhouse, J. Mason, Morris, Ogden, Olcot, Rofs, Sheafe, Tracy, Wells, White—14.
The motion was, therefore, carried; and the bill in the shape in which it was committed, is again before the senate.
Wednesday, February 3, 1802.
The Judiciary Bill was called up, and read a third time.
Mr. Rofs submitted an amendment, the object of which was to save the third circuit court in the repealing law. On this motion, a debate of some length ensued. About half past one o'clock, the question was taken, and the amendment lost. The Yeas and Nays were taken; and were, Yeas 14—Nays 16.
The main question then recurred, "Shall the bill pass?" On which messrs. Wright, Bradley, Anderson, Nicholas, Breckenridge and Jackson, delivered their sentiments in favor of the bill; and messrs. Rofs, Ogden, Morris and Dayton, delivered their sentiments against it.
At 15 minutes after 5 o'clock, the question was taken by Yeas and Nays, as follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Anderson, Baldwin, Bradley, Breckenridge, Brown, Cocke, Ellery, Th. Foster, Franklin, Jackson, Logan, S. T. Mason, Nicholas, Stone Sumter, Wright—16.
Nays—Messrs. Colhoun, Chipman, Dayton, D. Foster, Hillhouse, Howard, J. Mason, Morris, Ogden, Olcot, Rofs, Sheafe, Tracy, Wells, White—15.
And the Bill passed.
WASHINGTON (City,) February 5.
On Wednesday, the Judiciary Bill passed the Senate by a majority of one vote. Had the Senate been full there would have been two.—Mr. Armstrong from New-York, being the only member absent.
This act will not fail to be recorded among the most memorable events of the present period. It pre-eminently marks the triumph of republican principles. It demonstrates the inflexible determination of those who now hold the reins of authority, to adhere in power to the same principles, avowed by them when out of power. Their theory was a good one; but their practice is better. Economy in the public expenditure, distrust of extravagant executive patronage, a dread of whatever tends to the unnecessary aggrandizement of the powers of the general government, constitute a few of the features of the repealing act; and they are features which, it is not hesitated to say, will recommend it to national approbation. Indeed so conclusive and irresistible have been the arguments urged in its support, that among the dispassionate part of the community, among those who have not taken their ground with a resolution not to abandon it on any conviction, in short among the nation it is confidently believed not one man in a thousand will condemn the repealing act.
It may be proper to remark that, tho' this measure has been carried in the Senate by a majority of but one vote; the relative strength of parties is by no means to be estimated in that proportion. It will be recollected that in the House of Representatives, the division is nearly as 2 to 1; and it will be also recollected that of the 15 members who voted against the repeal, 6 would not now hold their seats, if an election were made at this time by the state legislatures. In such an event the votes would stand 22 for the repeal; and 9 against it. And had Mr. Armstrong been present, and had Mr. Colhoun voted in conformity to the sen-
timents of his constituents; as recently illustrated in the election of general Sumter chosen by a great majority, the vote would have been 24 for the repeal, to 8 against it.
In making this statement, we hope we shall not be understood as implying the least disrespect for the vote of the gentlemen, so situated in the minority, and particularly for Mr. Colhoun, whom we have stated by name. So far from this being the case, we scruple not to say that in our opinion Mr. Colhoun has been animated by the purest motives; and that he has lost none of those republican feelings and convictions, which his political deportment has heretofore developed.
A grand work is preparing in France, under the patronage of the first consul, comprehending a history of the expedition to Egypt under general Buonaparte. This work is to be enriched with a great number of plates, representing the antiquities of the country, the remains of memorable edifices, as well as the present appearance and costume, derived from the collection of the National Institute. The whole is to be on the most magnificent scale, and is expected to be a work of considerable literary and philosophical excellence.
The Prince Royal of Denmark has lately established a Board of Longitude at the University of Copenhagen, the chief employment of which will be to calculate Ephemerides in a nautical almanack, as likewise the moon's distances from the planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and thereby to increase and render less difficult the methods for finding the longitude at sea.—This commission is to consist of Professor Bygge, of an extraordinary Professor of Astronomy, and two Adjuncts. The Director of the commission must annually deliver a distinctly written copy of the Ephemerides calculated by them, together with the moon's distance from the above planets, to the director of the Depot of Sea Charts, who is to superintend the printing and publishing of them.
The President of the United States has appointed JOHN BECKLEY, Librarian of the two Houses of Congress.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
TO PEACE.
Terrific war's dire yell no more Echoes along the trembling vale; His ensign stain'd with human gore, No longer flutters to the gale.
Abashed the fiend of slaughter flies Back to his native legion den, As peace, from yonder bright'ning skies, Bursts on the gladden'd sight of men.
Offended Nymph! thy absence long Afflicted Europe deeply mourned, Infatiate Pride, and tyrant wrong, Too long thy proffer'd blessings spurn'd!
Passion usurp'd calm Reason's seat, Fierce rancour rous'd resentment's flame, Fell Discord saw her way complete, And lawless might gain'd his full claim!
But havoc now has had his fill— The deluge of distraction's pall— The dove returns, and in her bill, She brings the olive-branch at last.

With those I will sell a valuable negro man, a good miller; the plantation of 140 acres, 100 apple trees, of fruit equal to any in the state, a fine clover and blue grass pasture and meadow, a small dwelling house and farm, with other out houses, cherry and peach orchard—the title indisputable; and I will give it clear of all incumbrance.

I have also for sale, six hundred acres, patented land, on Clover-lick, eight miles from the Crab orchard—this I will take 3s per acre for in cash, or 4s 6d in horses.

I will also sell a good flock of hogs cattle, mares and colts, with the mills.
I will give such excellent bargains in all, or any of the aforesaid property, that any person inclining to purchase, may be well accomodated. The mills I will deliver up the tenth of March next, or if sooner required, on a little more advance, they shall be given up.
