And be it further enacted, That the Proprietors aforesaid be, and hereby are, permitted and allowed to erect a bridge over Connecticut river, at any place from Dummer's ferry to the ferry at Barrett's island, so called, and also at any place on said island, or within one mile above the same; and the said Corporation shall have the exclusive right to erect said bridge at any place within the aforesaid limits; and the Proprietors are hereby empowered to purchase any lands adjoining said bridge, provided the same does not exceed five acres, and to hold the same fee simple.
And be it further enacted, That the Corporation are empowered to survey, lay out, make and keep in repair, a turnpike road, not less than four rods wide, in any place, in such routes or tracks, as in the best of their judgement and skill shall combine shortness of distance with the most practicable ground, from Connecticut river, in Hindsdale, intending to meet the aforesaid bridge when erected, thro' said Hindsdale and Winchester, to the line
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at Warwick.
Provided nevertheless, and be it further enacted, That the Corporation shall not have power to make said road through the land of any person or persons, until the individual or individuals are compensated to their satisfaction for the damages he, she, or they, may sustain, and the same land is purchased by said Proprietors; any thing in this act to the contrary notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted, That for the purpose of reimbursing said Proprietors the money by them expended in building and supporting said bridge, a toll be, and hereby is, granted and established for the benefit of said Proprietors, according to the rates following, namely: for each foot passenger, one cent; for each horse and rider, six cents and one quarter of a cent; horse and chaise, or sulkey, twelve and one half cents; for each riding sleigh drawn by one horse, six and one quarter cents; for each riding sleigh drawn by more than one horse, twelve and one half cents; for each sled drawn by one beast, six and one quarter cents; for each sled drawn by two beasts, twelve and one half cents; for each sled drawn by three beasts, eighteen and three quarters cents; for each sled drawn by four beasts, twenty five cents; and for all beasts over & above four, three cents each; for each coach, chariot, phaeton, or other four-wheeled carriage for passengers, twenty-five cents; for each carriage, fifteen cents; for each cart or other carriage of burden drawn by one beast, six and one quarter cents; by two beasts, twelve and one half cents; by three beasts, eighteen and three quarters cents; by four beasts, twenty-five cents; and for all over and above four, three cents each; for each horse, jack, mule or nett beast, exclusive of those rode on, or in carriages, two cents each; for sheep and twine, half of one cent each; and to each team, one person only shall be allowed to pass free of toll: and at all times when the toll-gatherers shall not attend their duty, the gate or gates shall be left open.
And be it further enacted, That the said Proprietors are hereby empowered to purchase and hold in fee simple, so much land as will be necessary for said turnpike road, and that the shares in said bridge and turnpike road shall be taken, deemed, and considered to be personal estate, to all intents and purposes, and shall and may be transferable; and the mode of transferring said shares shall be by deed, acknowledged before any Justice of the peace, and recorded by the Clerk of the Corporation in a book to be kept for that purpose: And when any share shall be attached on mesne process, an attested copy of such process shall, at the time of the attachment, be left with the Clerk of the Corporation, otherwise the attachment shall be void; and such shares may be sold on execution in the same manner as is or may by law be provided for making sale of personal property on execution, the officer making sale, or the judgement creditor, leaving a copy of the execution, and the officer's return on the same, with the Clerk of said Corporation, within fourteen days after such sale, and paying for the same, shall be deemed and considered as a sufficient transfer of such share or shares in the said turnpike road.
And be it further enacted, That no toll shall be taken by said Corporation for any part of said road, until six hundred dollars shall have been expended on each mile, or a proportionate sum upon the whole number of miles.
And be it further enacted, That the Corporation may erect and fix one gate or turnpike upon and across said road: Provided , the same be erected on said road between the furnace-bridge, so called, and Hindsdale mills that are now built on Athuellet river in Hindsdale, so that it shall not stand on or across said part of the road that is now travelled and occupied as a public highway; any thing in this act to the contrary notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for said Company to appoint such and so many toll-gatherers as they shall think proper, to collect and receive of and from all and every person or persons using the aforesaid bridge, the rate of toll aforesaid at said bridge; also such toll-gatherers as they shall think proper to collect and receive of and from all and every person or persons using said road, the tolls and rates herein after mentioned, and to stop, at each of said gates, any person riding, leading, or driving any horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, fowls, chaise, phaeton, coach, char-
iot, cart, waggon, sleigh, sled, or other carriage of burden or pleasure, and four persons at the bridge, from passing through said gates or turnpike, until they shall have respectively paid the same; that is to say; the toll before mentioned at the bridge; and the following at the turnpike gate; for every coach, phaeton, chariot, or other four-wheeled carriage, drawn by two horses, twenty-five cents; and if drawn by more than two horses, an additional sum of six and one quarter cents for each horse; for every cart or waggon drawn by two oxen or horses, twelve and one half cents; and if drawn by more than two oxen or horses, an additional sum of six and one quarter cents for each ox or horse; for every chaise, chair, or other carriage, drawn by one horse, twelve and one half cents; for every man and horse, and one quarter cents; for every sled or sleigh drawn by two oxen or horses, twelve and one half cents; if drawn by more than two oxen or horses, an additional sum of six and one quarter cents; for each ox or horse; for every sled or sleigh drawn by one horse, eight cents; for all horses, mules, oxen, or nett cattle, led or driven, besides those in teams and carriages, one cent each; for all sheep or twine, at the rate of four cents for one dozen: Provided , That said Corporation, if they see fit to commute the rate of toll with any person or persons, by taking of him or them a certain sum annually, to be mutually agreed on, in lieu of the toll aforesaid; and at all times when the toll-gatherer shall not attend his duty, the gates aforesaid shall be left open. And if any person shall, with his carriage, team, cattle, or horses, turn out of said road, pass the turnpike gate on ground adjacent thereto with intent to avoid the payment of the toll due by virtue of this act, such person shall forfeit and pay three times so much as the legal toll would have been, to be recovered by the Treasurer of the said Corporation, to the use thereof, in an action of debt or on the case: Provided , That nothing in this act shall extend to enable said Corporation to demand toll of any person at the turnpike gate, who shall be passing with his horse or carriage to or from public worship, or with his horse, team, or cattle, or on foot, to or from any mill, or on their common or ordinary business of family concerns within the same town.
And be it further enacted, That said Corporation may be indicted for default of repairs of said bridge and road, after the toll-gates are erected, and fined in the same way and manner as towns are by law liable for suffering roads and bridges to be out of repair; and said fine may be levied on the profits and tolls arising or accruing to said Proprietors.
And be it further enacted, That when said Proprietors shall make it appear to the Judges of the Superior Court of Judicature that they have expended said sum of six hundred dollars on each mile, or a proportionate sum as before mentioned, the Proprietors shall have the liberty to erect the gate aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That the Corporation shall have power to erect a gate at the bridge, and receive toll as aforesaid at said gate, in case the same shall be finished suitable to pass before said turnpike road is done; and shall also have power to erect a gate across said road in manner aforesaid, and receive the rate of toll aforesaid, after they have expended the sum before in this act pointed out, in case the same should be done before said bridge is passable.
And be it further enacted, That at the end of every ten years after the setting up of any toll-gates, an account of the expenditures upon said road and the profits arising therefrom, shall be laid before the Judges of the Superior Court for the time being, under forfeiture of the privileges of this act in future; and if the net profits for the said ten years shall exceed twelve per cent per annum, the said Court may reduce the future toll so far as that it may not exceed twelve per cent; and if the profits shall not amount to six per cent, the said Court may raise the toll to that it shall not be less than six, nor exceed twelve per cent.
And be it further enacted, That if in ten years the said road and bridge shall not be completed, according to the provision in this act, every part and clause thereof shall be null and void: Provided also , That the State of New-Hampshire may, at any time after the expiration of forty years from the passing of this act, repay the Proprietors of said road and bridge the amount of the sum expended by them thereon, with twelve per cent. per annum in addition thereto, deducting the toll actually received by the Proprietors; and in that case, the said road and bridge shall to all intents and purposes be the property of the State of New-Hampshire; any thing in this act to the contrary notwithstanding.
And be it further enacted, That whenever said road and bridge shall not be in good repair in the judgement of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, the gates shall be taken down, and shall not be erected again until said Court shall determine said road in good repair.
And be it further enacted, That in case any special damage shall happen to any person or persons, or to his or their team or teams, or carriages, by means of the insufficiency or want of repairs of said road or bridge, at any time when the gate is kept, the party aggrieved shall recover his or their damage in an action of trespass on the case against said Corporation, in any Court of competent jurisdiction to try the same.

MISCELLANY.
Extract from the FAITHFUL REMEMBRANCER—(an Original work, preparing for the press)—No. 7.
A PRINCIPLE objection against the sacred scriptures has been, the scenes of misery and desolation, which they relate as ordered to be effected by the Creator, who [say the objectors,] being infinitely benevolent, could not have promoted and encouraged such cruelties. To this it is replied, that those evils were the necessary effects of vice, idolatry and impiety; and there is good reason to believe they would have been much greater, had not the Deity interposed, at the times and in the ways in which he did, by judgements and mercies, by revelations, by promises & threatenings, warnings and reasings. Mankind, left wholly to themselves, would render their condition much more deplorable. But GOD governs, and with infinite wisdom, benevolence and parental tenderness, and his severest chastisements must be considered as necessary, yea as mercies, since they are as has been proved, for our good: How otherwise, are we to account for our evils and miseries, since it is certain that nothing can happen without Divine permission or appointment? and death itself is declared in scripture to be a blessing, as it frees from evil at the same time that it is a salutary chastisement. To Him, therefore, who is all wise and powerful, and infinitely good and kind, not un willingly afflicting or grieving the children of men , let us unitedly direct our prayer.
Would we attain to a just knowledge of the scriptures of true religion and morality; would we learn to reason agreeably to the true relation of things, to separate truth from error, the precious from the vile; would we daily progress in knowledge and goodness? let our eyes be continually directed to our heavenly instructor and guide. This is the only sure and infallible means of arriving at truth, and of enjoying the heavenly freedom it yields; and we shall learn to converse in harmony and love, with wisdom, prudence, meekness, and that becoming modesty of deportment in which consists so large a portion of the sweetness and excellency of man. We shall then enjoy foretastes and preludes of the refined and exalted pleasures of the eternal perfect state.
Prayer is invested with an Almighty omnipotency. Those who object that our petitions cannot alter what GOD hath already determined in his eternal plan, would do well to consider, that both our requests and the fulfilment of them, are among the events already determined, as suited to needy dependant beings; and it is not, think ye, as natural and proper that we should ask of our Heavenly Parent, on whose bounty we live, as it is that children should ask of their earthly parents? should we not trust in and apply to Him, whose care about us is said to be so extensively particular, that the very hairs of our heads are numbered? Shall we doubt to wonder at a cognizance and attention, because too vast for our comprehension. Let us then deny the existence of the Universe, because we are incapable of comprehending how it was formed, or the power and influence through which it is sustained.
How sublime, how blissful the employment of sacred converse with the infinitely glorious being who inhabits eternity; in whom is an infinite fulness of every good; and from whom we have, both from nature and revelation, the strongest, the most endearing encouragements to trust in Him at all times, and pour out our hearts before Him ! Are not the praying sons and daughters of men, ready to exclaim—O! how can any live without availing themselves of a privilege so great, so ennobling, so ineffable, so essential, so beautifying and transforming?—To reap its rich harvests, we have been repeatedly invited and urged in the preceding numbers. It is an invitation, a summons that can never be too importunately urged and pressed upon needy, frail, helpless creatures—all, of every rank, become united in solemn filial addresses to the great disposer of human destinies, without whose aid and influence it is impossible we can be happy in time or eternity. In vain shall we labour and contrive for the advancement of civil and domestic felicity, while we neglect the giver of all good—Be it known to us—No nation, no society, family or individual, can or will prosper, in the contempt and neglect of prayer. Prayer is the first and last evidence of our rationality.
The great Desideratum of all, is the enjoyment of permanent happiness. This then is our grand request, including all others, to the Author of our being, that we may ever drink of the cup of happiness, without any bitter ingredient to vitiate or mar our enjoyments; and as GOD alone is able to fulfil the request, what folly and madness to neglect applying to Him, whose ear is ever open to our petitions. Many have been ready to imagine that praying would disgrace them, delpising it as a mark of weakness and folly; whereas it is directly the contrary: The neglect of it is the shame and the disgrace of man formed in the Divine Image, and for heavenly fellowship with the highest, the first and best of beings. The shame and disgrace then, the absurdity and the wretchedness are theirs who are prayerless families, prayerless individuals, prayerless societies, prayerless nations. For it is so serious, earnest filial prayer that we are now called, very different indeed from, and opposite to that which has been
so long too universal, and of no avail but to harden men in vice and impiety. GOD is now to be sought unto in good earnest, if we expect his favour, if we would avert his judgements from us, as individuals, as societies, as nations, as the great family of Heaven, reared by his power, and preserved by his unmerited goodness.—Hasten then all ye nations, and bow before the Eternal Throne! Remember yourselves, and be turned to your GOD, and worship before Him ! Seek ye, in good earnest the fountain of Life, and attain to that state of glory and perfection, in which prayer will be exchanged for never ceasing praise, and triumphant joy!

To the Public.
WHEN the natural advantages of the United States are considered, there is no subject that strikes with more force than our inland navigation. Various attempts have been made to accelerate it by mechanical means of transportation, and great merit is due to the projectors, yet they have unfortunately too generally failed. I now come forward to offer an invention of my own for propelling boats and vessels of any size according to the force that may be applied, totally new and different from any others that have been produced. I will remark that I have produced it, I have experimented it, and it remains with the public to carry it into execution. I refer to the President of the United States, to the Secretary of State, to the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, the Superintendent of the Navy, and to many of our respectable citizens, who have seen its effects, and who will give their opinions: I refer to the thing itself, where experiments, by manual labour, will convince ocular observation, and obviate useless verbal or written descriptions. It is proper, however, to give some account of its qualities. They consist in its simplicity, in its convenience, its durability, its adaption to manual, horse, or steam powers, and in the doubt or success of its stroke. This double or success stroke is worthy the attention of the mechanic and of the navigator for by its constant effort is kept up, it exceeds the common oar by the single stroke only, and of course must gain rapidly when the successive stroke is applied. It can be used either vertically or horizontally, and the stem, stern or sides of the vessel, and is constructed and operated of direct lines instead of rotary lines. Its chief importance consists in its obviating manual labour, being, with the greatest convenience, adapted to the steam Engine, whose force is durable, competent, and equal; and this equal force it is that gives uniform power to the successive stroke. It can be used in all cases where towing can be done, and may be extended to Bays, Lakes, and short coasting trade. Whenever there is want of wind, there lies a principle advantage in the invention. In instances of long rivers, such as the Mississippi, Ohio, &c. it is intended that the machine boat shall be designated to tow other boats; but larger vessels will justify separate Engines. Fuel may be deposited along the shores of Rivers at convenient distances to be taken in occasionally by skiffs, so as not to impede the progress of the machine. To the steam Engine I would recommend the attention of the public, but machines may be modified for any power, either manual or horse. Besides encouraging this invention for common utility, individuals will be benefited in proportion to the early applications they shall make for privileges, my patent being dated the 22d day of February, 1802. In case of applications, I promise to direct the manufacturing of machines, and will give every instruction and aid in my power to accelerate the business. Steam Engines can be had made in some of the principal seaport towns, particularly Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Baltimore—and other parts of the United States.
RD. CLAIBORNE. Washington-city, August 20, 1802.
In consequence of the indiscriminate clamour excited by the federal opposition against the Repeal of the Excises, it is supposed, even to this day, by many misinformed persons, that the Sugar tax repealed was the whole tax upon refined Sugars; whereas it was only the excise upon American refined Sugars. The impost, that is the duty paid upon foreign refined Sugars at their importation, still remains. The excise repealed was in fact only a duty upon the Refinery of Loaf Sugar in this country. The effect of the repeal is to give our home-made refined sugar an advantage over imported white sugar. And as a general principle, it is acknowledged to be good policy to encourage our own manufactures, in preference to foreign, or certainly not to discourage them by duties. For it retains our money in the country, to the amount of the price of the manufacture, instead of sending it abroad, to pay for the manufactures of other nations. No good reason can be assigned, why the American manufacture of white sugar should be burdened, any more than the American manufacture of glass, paper, mahogany work or any other manufacture, especially of articles of luxury. The motion to strike out refined sugar, and insert brown sugar, which is included in the impost, and not in the excise, was merely a stumbling block thrown in the way by the opposition, to impede the Repeal, or render it unpopular.

By conspicuously inserting the following narrative on the adroitly and sagacity of a Lawyer, in your extensively circulating paper, you will greatly oblige a friend to the profession, and a constant reader.
A GENTLEMAN who had only one son named SYPHAX, was desirous he should study Law, for which purpose he gave him a collegiate education, and when Syphax was graduated, he left the University, and went into the office of an eminent Barrister of the Law, named Duplex, who was remarkable for his duplicity and ambidexterity, always ready to take up any cause, just or unjust, for a sufficient fee. After Syphax had studied with the Barrister some time, he went to see his Father, and with a pomposity, natural to young students, told him he thought himself qualified to plead the most intricate cause in the Law, and give entire satisfaction to his clients; his Father then asked Syphax if he could make right wrong, and wrong to be right; to which the novice replied, he had not met with any such cases in his studies—Then the Father told Syphax to go back again, and finish his studies with the Barrister, who had not inducted him in all he knew, and thereupon returned to Duplex again, and studied another year, and then came back to his Father, and told him that the Barrister had initiated him in all the sophistical chicaneries of the Lawyers, and that he now perfectly knew how to make right wrong, and wrong right; very well said his Father, I will put you to the test; There is a man now in jail, who has stolen a horse, and it can be proved against him, that he is guilty, and he is ready to confess the theft, and of course will be condemned and hung—This man is to be tried at the next assizes, and if you can clear him of the charge, so that he is acquitted, then I will confess you will make an excellent Lawyer. Syphax undertook the cause, and went directly to the jail, and addressed himself to the prisoner in the manner following:—May I be so inquisitive (said our adventurer) to ask what brought you to this disagreeable place, yes Sir, I will tell you, I am charged with stealing a horse, (that may be, said our proficient, but are you guilty of the charge?) excuse me, said the prisoner, if I say that is too close a question to answer at present, I ask pardon for the impropriety of the expression—But I am a Lawyer, and if you will place confidence enough in me to advocate your cause, be assured, I think it will terminate successfully, on your part; and that whatever confession you are pleased to make, you have my honour, it shall go no further. The prisoner trusted to the integrity of the Lawyer, and dictated himself to this purpose, I will tacitly confess I am guilty of the charge, and am fully convinced that the adverse party has competent evidence against me of the theft, and that the probability is, I shall suffer an ignominious death; The Lawyer interrupted him, and asked whether he knew the marks of the horse? The prisoner answered yes, very well Sir, then said Syphax write them down on this paper, and be particular in describing the horse, and the time when you took him; which being done to his satisfaction, now said the young advocate, in order to your being considered as my client, it is requisite that I should receive a retaining fee; I have no doubt in my own mind of obtaining a favorable issue to your cause—One guinea however, will be satisfactory, and if I do not obtain a verdict in your favour, I pledge my honour that I will return it: The prisoner very willingly gave him his fee. Syphax took the minutes which the prisoner had given of the horse, and the time and place where he took him, and copied it in his own hand writing, and delivered it to the prisoner again, and enjoined him to take particular care of it, and mind what he had then to say which will appear thus, Mr. —— prisoner, when you are arraigned before the Tribunal, the Judges will of course interrogate you, are you guilty of the charge against you or not? you will then answer not guilty, then they will ask how came you by this horse, you will answer and point at me in the bar, (where I shall be leaning down, as tho' I was asleep.) I had him of that man; the council for the plaintiff turned himself about to Syphax, do you hear what this fellow says? no I did not, what did he say? he said he had this horse of you! well said Syphax, I don't know but he had; I sold a horse to a man whose features, (to my memory serves me,) favours this man's; was you the man, said the young Lawyer to the prisoner, to whom I sold the horse? yes Sir, I am the man, then said Syphax, produce the minutes I gave you of the marks of the horse, which the prisoner readily did, and the time when he had him; the council for the plaintiff requested that Syphax should inform the court and jury, how he came by this horse; with which request he agreed to, and addressed himself to the court; May it please your honors, and you gentlemen of the jury. I am called upon to inform this honorable court and jury how I came by the horse now in controversy, in reply thereto, I will observe that my Father has a large flock of sheep, and had lost a number of sheep, and I being solicitous to have the trespasser brought to condign punishment, I went one night to the fold, and secreted myself; about midnight appeared a person walking towards the fold, I lay concealed until he had committed the theft, and after he had ham-strung four or five of the sheep, he slung them on this horse, and being to well loaded he was unable to travel fast; I then pursued him with all possible speed, he found I closed so fast on him, that he dismounted his horse, and took to the fields. I caught the horse, came home, released the sheep, and put the horse up in the barn, determined to keep him a few days and see if I could not find the owner of him; but no person appearing to claim the horse, I then took the marks as you HERE SEE of the horse, and told him to this man, and the person who will come and own this beast. I will affirm is the man that stole my Father's sheep, and he is the person I want to see; for I am sensible it will cost him his life. The account the young advocate gave, appeared so accurate, that it impressed the plaintiff's council with a belief that his client was guilty, that he immediately withdrew the prosecution, and expressed much contrition that he had commenced a suit so unjust, and which might have terminated fatal to the prisoner.
I SAW a piece in one of your late papers signed Lycurgus, and with which I confess myself much pleased; the sentiments it contained, and the ideas it conveyed with respect to the subject on which it was wrote, appeared to be the production of a heart fraught with benevolence; and the sole aim of a writer who had no other motive but the public good: while on the one part he reprehended with a becoming indignation those characters who have trampled on all right, and sanctioned by an act of insolvency, have surveyed unmoved the wretched their vile conduct has occasioned to the peace of their neighbours; he on the other, pointed to avarice as the source from whence this evil arose—This it appears has brought forth a champion of Plutus: this advocate for wealth, as if hurt by any reflections on old Mammon, comes forth like a knight-errant, to attack the Spartan law-giver; while the one comes forth armed with the sentiment of a Solomon, "labour not to be rich," the other appears cap-a-pie with this elegant quotation from the American Preceptor, "The road to wealth is as easy as the road to market," and informs all, young and old, in defiance of all observations hitherto made by sacred or profane writers; "That he who will may be rich, for armed with industry, frugality, honesty and economy, they may bid defiance to the old hag misfortune, and rise to "wealth fame, respectability and even to Heaven itself;"—for though an old book says the love of money is the root of all evil; yet he can clearly prove that the love of it is a cure for all evil, for it naturally excites to the attainment of what in his opinion, confers not only respectability on the possessor, but will prove an infallible antidote to all the miseries of life—and as to Lycurgus' reflections on avarice as the cause, his very writings have a tendency to produce the evils he deprecates."—Now I believe Messrs Printers, that honest Lycurgus, nor even Solomon himself, had an idea when he says "Labour not to be rich," to discourage industry, but to condemn that avaricious propensity that would sacrifice every consideration to the selfish principle of money getting.—A. B. may roundly assert, that by following the maxims he has laid down, nineteen twentieths of mankind may attain wealth, and by that means arrive to a state of human felicity; for by the tenor of his writings we may suppose that ought to be the only object of our pursuit, and the ultimatium of our wishes. But as the test of experience is more convincing than bare assertion, and common observation seems to refute the principles of Mr. A. B. it seems necessary to have something more than his bare ipse-dixit to establish his nostrum as the sure and certain remedy against that vile disorder called Poverty, with the greatest deference to all the cardinal virtues, on which he lays such mighty stress, and whose utility in every point of view no one will ever controvert; yet still we have known men who have possessed in an eminent degree, every qualification he so strenuously recommends, fall far short of attaining what he promises; and that too without any conspicuous misfortune to excite the pity, or any deviations from propriety, to incur the censure of the world.—Mankind are neither so indolent, nor so dead to enterprise or perseverance, but that they will make use of every exertion to accomplish their favorite pursuit, nor would they be easily induced to quit his quadruple armour, 'till they had arrived to that golden goal he so beautifully describes; but instead of many obtaining the promised prize, it needs but a small share of capacity to discern that much the largest part of the world strive in vain—I must however confess, there is considerable merit attached to A. B. for this novel doctrine of getting to Heaven, for our Divines have nothing now to do but to preach industry, frugality, honesty and economy, by which they may venture to insure their hearers, honor and respectability here, (provided they get money,) and complete and lasting enjoyment hereafter. Z. &c.
The Federalists appear to waver in their minds whether they shall continue to act under the assumed name of Republicans, or throw off the mask, and abide by their proper appellation. Conscious that the People of the United States are in favour of Republicanism, conscious that all the efforts of Federalism have been insufficient to shake their principles; the Palladium is convinced, that "if the Federalists give up the name of Republicans, they are lost." On the other hand to continue the name, when the imposition becomes too glaring for concealment seems to be a stretch beyond even federal effrontery. It is time indeed that the parties should have their appropriate names. The people are aware of the imposition practised upon them, & it will no longer succeed. It is time that a just distinction should be made between Federalism, and Republicanism; between the men who have endeavoured to establish a system of oppression, and those who have destroyed this system; between the men who wish for a monarchical-aristocratic government, and those who desire a government conformable to the will of the People expressed in their Constitution.
THE Editor of the Evening Post, [Hamilton's paper] has hammered out Ten wire-drawn numbers on the pliable subject of "JEFFERSON and CALLENDER," which are now decorating the columns of all the Federal Newspapers on the Continent. The great object of his labors has been to prove that Callender is a Black-Guard, and the PRESIDENT a Scoundrel. The first of these propositions would have been readily admitted without the parade of evidence. The last has been so often repeated, by Federal Editors, that it can gain no additional credit by the frequency or variety of their complaints. The proof must come through some other medium; than the foul mouth of Callender, or the profanities of the opposition, before it will induce a momentary belief in the mind of an honest man. JUDAS ISCARIOT, after he had bargained to betray his Lord and Master, into the hands of his enemies, was entitled to no credit, when he proclaimed CHRIST an imposter. The Jews, who, from his birth, had been determined to crucify him, are not now believed, when they swear to us, by Moses and the other prophets, that he was not the true MESSIAH. Callender, who has sold himself to the DEVIL and the FEDERALISTS, who is now blabbed with treachery and polluted with sin, is but a rotten witness against the pure and undefiled integrity of the President. The band of infidel conspirators, who, from the day of his inauguration, have been plotting his destruction, who have sworn upon their Alcoran that he shall be crucified in the public opinion, will not easily accomplish the object of their vengeance, when they are leagued with this vile apostate, in arraigning him before a Christian tribunal! From a vindictive and malicious prosecution, supported only by a corrupt & perjured witness, nothing is to be dreaded, when the Judges are upright, and the Jury are discerning. The hackneyed ejaculations of "Horrid Hypocrisy!"—"abominable turpitude!" "unparalleled baseness" may excite a transitory thrill about the finer fibres of the heart; but they leave no trace on the mind, which can strengthen the accusation, or weaken the character of the accused.
The administration of Mr. JEFFERSON has made MILLIONS happy—and, if we can judge from one important fact, none discontented; if we except a few incumbents of, or seekers after office. From Penobscot to the Mississippi, not a single town, "no, not one," has manifested a murmur or petitioned against a single measure of government. A few ambitious expectants, gloomy monks, (in the gab of public teachers of morality) lawyers who wished to be ambassadors, military officers, who have been "damned to CIVIL life," Callender the apostate, the infamous protégé of Hamilton. Printers, who have found others preferred to them, and the partisans and admirers of a mixed monarchy, or any government where the people are to have only "an essential share" in the sovereignty, but in reality no share at all. From these and such as these proceed all the abuse, calumnies, misrepresentations, exaggerations, and falsehoods, which have dishonored federalism, in public opinion, and have made it no longer popular. Ten lessons have occurred of the respective general assemblies in New England, since the Washingtonian Judiciary System was restored; and yet not a word of disapprobation has been uttered by one of them. Bar-meetings have been held, but, alas, the unconstitutionality of this measure never has been noticed.—Towns innumerable have been in meeting, but where are their grievances, except decreasing taxes, encroaching credit be a grievance? A dozen or two fanatical clergymen, rejected applicants, men who were fattening on the country, and mercenary scribblers from St. Omer's in Connecticut, mere "Judaizing Christians," are the mighty phalanx who say a great deal and do nothing. By a malicious refinement, these men who have the true liberty of the press, fill it with all manner of licentiousness, if possible to make it odious to the people; knowing that to its potent influence, we owe our present blessings of peace, liberty and a good government. [Chron.]
As the General Government have taken off their hand from the Carriage Tax & oil excises, and left them to the States; as such a tax, if there is any, clearly ought to be a State Tax, for very obvious reasons; as the subject has been taken up in the State Legislature of Massachusetts on the motion of a Republican, (Mr. Adams of Kitery) and the further consideration of it referred over to next Session, on the Report of a Committee, composed of a majority of Federalists, with Mr. Otis of Boston, for their chairman; and as a majority of the two branches are yet Federal, it rests with that party to decide whether there shall be such a tax or not in Massachusetts. It is to be remembered that a State Carriage Tax, instead of forming a link in the long chain of executive patronage, by giving occasion to hundreds of dependent Excise Officers, at the public expence, may be collected by the collectors appointed annually by the Towns, and without any additional expence.
What is Modern Federalism? Strange I passing strange to tell! It abuses every thing good and desirable, and worships fashion and slander. It makes falsehoods, and then publishes them to the world to deceive the ignorant and unwary. It has turned conscience into a deist, honor into a pimp, virtue into vice, honesty into a stock-jobber, and tories into whigs. In short, there is nothing wonderful in it, has not effected, except in making men vile, virtuous and happy. [Horne.]
Foreign Articles.
LONDON, JULY 16.
Strong jealousies exist between the Dutch and French governments upon the subject of commerce. The Dutch government have informed the French that they shall increase the duties upon French merchandise, if more favourable measures be not adopted with respect to the trade between Holland, and Belgium and the Rhine.
Sir John Borlase Warren is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Petersburg. There is evidently some particular reason, not generally known to the public, for appointing a Naval officer to a foreign court of such high rank. Sir John Warren's polite manners are however, extremely well calculated for any drawing-room in Europe.
COCKFIT, WHITEHALL, JULY 14. Before the Most Noble and Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes.
The Minerva, Sueconus, master. This was a Swedish ship, laden with a cargo of brandy, which was captured in the prosecution of her voyage from Barcelona, Ville Nova, and Salva, to Boston, on or about Aug. 8, 1799, by his Majesty's ship Boston, John Erskine Douglas, Esq. commander; and carried into Halifax, where the usual proceedings were commenced.
It appeared that the ship was restored, with freight, in the Court below, and the cargo condemned; from which sentence an appeal was entered. Their lordships, after hearing counsel in this case, directed further proof to be made of the property.
Lord Hutchinson, who arrived in Dublin, will no doubt be received in the most flattering manner. Eminent as his services have been, he is justly dear in every part of the United Kingdom; but he cannot fail to be honoured with peculiar marks of respect and affection from his own countrymen.
PROCLAMATION.
The Consul of the Republic to the French People.
"People of France, The 14th of July commenced in 1789 the new definitions of France. After thirteen years of labour, the 14th of July returns more dear to you, more august to posterity. You have concurred all obstacles, and your definitions are accomplished. Within, not a head that does not bow to the empire of equality; without, not an enemy to menace your safety and your independence; not a French colony that is not subjected to the laws, without which no colony can exist. From the bosom of your ports commerce summons your industry, and offer you the world; in the interior, the genius of the Republic fertilizes all the seeds of prosperity."
"People of France, that this epoch may be for us and for our children, the epoch of a permanent good; that that peace may be embellished by the union of virtue, of knowledge, and of arts; that institutions adapted to our character may surround our laws with an impenetrable rampart; that our youth eager for instruction may go to our Lycea to learn their duties and their rights; that the history of miseries may guarantee them from past errors, and that they may preserve, in the midst of wisdom and concord, this edifice of grandeur which has been erected by the courage of the citizens."
"Such are the will and the hope of the French government; second their efforts, and the happiness of France will be immortal as her glories."
The First Consul, (Signed) "BONAPARTE."
Citizen Christophe, an inhabitant of Nantz, has received from his son, a chief de squadron of the 7th regiment of dragoons and now in garrison at Lodi, a letter dated the 19th of May, with the following account of the earthquake in Italy.
"I write in haste to inform you, that an earthquake has been felt here, but that I have met with no accident. We were sitting quietly at breakfast when our house gave a terrible crash, that shook us on our seats. We ran out and flew to the barracks. Every thing was overturned, the cloaks and portmanteaus rolled about, and the dragoons were tumbled down in attempting to descend the stairs. Some chimneys were thrown down, all the people were at prayers in the streets. The shock commenced at 40 minutes past ten in the morning, & lasted about three seconds. We have escaped with the fright. We might now laugh, were we not much affected, when we learned that about ten miles distance (three French leagues) the town of Crema was almost demolished by the earthquake; the inhabitants saved themselves by flight, and no people were remaining there except the chasseur of the 15th regiment, to prevent plunder. At forty miles distance (about twelve leagues) the village of Menguin, where there was a fine lake of ten miles circumference, has been swallowed up in the lake, and not a single person has been saved, nor does a single vestige of that village remain."
By the information presented to the British House of commons respecting the island of Trinidad it appears that 400 allotments of land had been appropriated under the Spanish government, and that there remains at the disposal of the British government the vast tract of 2790 divisions of land of 390 acres each, or 370 400 acres in all. It likewise appears that the white inhabitants, at the time it was taken, were, 2151; free people of color 4476; slaves 10,000; and Indians 2082.

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 2. OFFICIAL.
Under the instructions of the Secretary of the Navy Commodore Morris will employ constantly one frigate in convoying our outward bound merchantmen from Cadiz through the Straits, and another in convoying our homeward bound merchantmen from Malaga; and every convoy, when in the Gut, will have an additional protection. The distribution of the other frigates will, from time to time be such, as in the judgement of the commodore, will afford the best protection to our commerce, and as will most effectually repress the predatory dispositions of its enemies.
On Monday morning the New-York hauled off from the wharf and dropped down the Eastern Branch. This day she is to proceed hence to join the Mediterranean squadron.—She will touch at Hampton road to take in her Beef and Pork.
The JOHN ADAMS, it is expected, will be equipped in the same time, viz. two weeks.
We understand that James M c Guirk, who was sentenced to be executed on the 28th inst. for the murder of his wife, has been respited by the President of the United States until the 29th of October next.
A number of the principal Sachems, Chiefs, and Warriors of the Seneca nation of Indians, from Buffalo's Creek, visited Albany last week; and we are informed have concluded a treaty with this state, by which they cede their title to all the lands reserved along the Niagara river from Buffalo's Creek to Stedman's farm including Black Rock. This is doubtless great acquisition to this state, as well as to the United States, not only on account of value of the lands, but also as it secures the carrying-places at the Niagara Falls, and the most advantageous situation for establishing a military post to guard that important pass.
Another object of these chiefs in visiting our seat of government, we are informed, was to intercede for one of their friends, an Indian, who it is alleged has unfortunately killed a white man, and which has produced some agitation in that quarter.—These Indians state, that five instances have happened since the peace where Indians of their nation have been inhumanly murdered by the white people, and that in no instance have the perpetrators been punished for these crimes, and that this is the first instance on their part. This fact is undoubtedly true. They say they have been assiduous in cautioning their young warriors to guard against evils of this kind, and they should therefore think it cruel if their brother should suffer death for this act, especially as it is said to have been done unintentionally, under the influence of intoxication and passion. They wished if possible that he might be admitted to bail until trial, stating that imprisonment to an Indian is worse than death. They considered this as a reasonable request, and which they had been induced to believe might be granted consistent with our laws. This however could not be done. They have certainly acted with great candour and magnanimity in delivering up the accused, who is a near relation of one of the principal chiefs, and belongs to one of the first families in the nation.
Although these chiefs could not obtain the full object of their wishes in the present instance, we are told they have returned to their nation perfectly satisfied with the treatment which they have received from our executive and with the assurance he gave them that their unfortunate brother would be treated with every degree of lenity and humanity which the mildness of our laws admit.
"The Board of Longitude," states the French astronomer Lalude, "at its meeting of the 23d inst. adjudged the premium of 6000 francs, which was proposed for the best lunar tables. M. Brog, an astronomer at Vienna, has succeeded, by combining from three to four thousand observations, in forming tables which do not differ ten seconds from an actual observation.—This is the greatest aid with which astronomy can furnish navigation, and nothing more is wanting for finding the longitude at sea with the utmost accuracy. The nautical tables which I published in 1793, for finding the hour at sea, renders this part of the calculation so easy, that it may be executed by the most inexperienced navigator."
We are informed that the district court of the United States opened their session at New York on the 27th ult. but having no business before them, adjourned to the next term. With facts like this before them, many pretend that the late additional corps of judges in the federal courts was necessary and indispensable. Rec.

BOSTON, SEPT. 9.
BARBARY POWERS.
Dispatches, we understand, have been received by government from Mr. Simpson, our Consul to Morocco, dated July 16th, at Gibraltar, which place, as falsely rumoured, he had not left. The report respecting Captain M c Neil's engagement with the Tunisians does not appear to have been confirmed by subsequent information, which, in case of such action, ought to have been received by Mr. Simpson.
The Enterprize, Capt. Sterret, had arrived at Gibraltar on the 2d of July from the squadron cruising off Tripoli. The letters of Captain Sterret are also silent as to M c Neil's engagement, or his own, as reported; which with respect to the latter, amounts to disproof.
The warlike operations of Morocco, from the latest authentic accounts, were not very active. The new frigates, lately built, the one of 36, and the other of 22 guns, were equipping slowly at Salee on the Atlantic—the old frigate lay at La Rath in the sand—two galleys were fitting out at Tunis with considerable spirit.
Nat. Int.
It is with peculiar satisfaction that we find the votes of Rhode-Island as they ought to be, firm and numerous in favor of Republicanism . The country interest, in that State, is awake. The town of Providence, from the selfish views which have invariably governed the merchants of it, since the time of the congressional impost, must soon be infatuated in its politics, and lose all its weight in the country.
The landed interest of New-England, will & must govern. It may be deceived, it may be cheated for a while: but it will inevitably prefer a frugal to an expensive administration of our public concerns. At the time of the impost, the mercantile interest of Providence was notoriously anti-federal. The army was starving, and there was not a cent in the treasury. The merchants of that town had their vessels at sea, and they refused the impost. No town in the Union was more obstinate in its anti-federalism; and if a miracle had not saved this country, the opposition of those zealous federalists of modern growth would have ruined it. The leading characters had not then begun their speculations in the public certificates.—The Farmers now penetrate the mystery!
There is not a town in all New-England that has ventured to remonstrate against a single act of Mr. Jefferson's policy. The opposition is confined to a few newspapers; and will last no longer than the deception remains which their fallacies have disseminated. There was not a vote in all this quarter for President Jefferson. The Republicans have since gained Rhode-Island completely, and probably Vermont. A large majority in this State indirectly approve of every measure he has taken. In ten different sessions of our respective Legislatures, since his administration commenced, not a murmur has escaped out of them.
We congratulate our friends at the southward on the prospect before us; and on the growth of Republicanism in New-England. N. B. Probably the republican majority in Rhode-Island will be greater this year, than it has been on any former occasion.
NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
HANOVER, AUG. 28.
Commencement at Dartmouth College. Last Wednesday was the anniversary Commencement at Dartmouth College. At eleven o'clock A. M. the President, Board of Trustees, Officers of College, Gentlemen of Public education and character, candidates for the first and second degrees, and Members of the Institution, walked in procession to the Meeting House. After prayer by the President, and appropriate music, the exercises performed were—A salutatory Oration in Latin, by Samuel Whitmore—A Dissertation in English on Fire, by Josiah Moulton—A Dispute on the question, "Does the world tend naturally to dissolution?" by Augustus Alden and Rowell Willard—An Oration on the African Slave Trade, by A. Alden—A philosophic Oration on Vegetation, by Elisha Rockwood—A Poem, by Elisha Hammond—A Greek Oration on the happy effects of science, by Amos Twitchell.

Fisk, John Frink, Jacob Gillet, Elisha Hammond, Nathaniel Hule, Josiah Moulton, Joseph Mulliken, Joseph Paine, Joseph Richardson, Elisha Rockwood, Luther Stone, Amos Twitchell, Samuel Walker, Samuel Whitmore, Rowell Willard, and Nathan Wood.
The degree of Bachelor in Medicine was conferred on Daniel Osgood, Cyrus Perkins, and J. Hubbard Sparhawk.

Crane, Alexander Dufin, Levi Jackson, William Rolfe, Moses Sawyer, Rowell Shillif, and Samuel Whiting.—The Rev. Joseph Bowman, and Thomas Thompson, Esq. Masters of Arts at Harvard, were admitted to the same. I and an honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred on the Hon. Arthur Livermore.
The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on Rufus King, Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of London, from the United States; and on John Davis Judge of the District Court of Massachusetts. Then followed the Valedictory Oration, by Samuel Walker. A piece of music was performed; and the exercises were closed with prayer by the President.
The performances displayed such literary taste and laudable improvement, as rendered them highly satisfactory to a numerous and polite audience.
SOCIETIES.
On Monday last, at 11 o'clock, an Oration historically descriptive of harmony and song , was pronounced before the Musical Society, by Amos J. Cook. At 4 o'clock P. M. before the Social Friends, an Oration on the adaptation of natural objects to each other , by Joseph Richardson.
On Tuesday, half past 9 o'clock A. M. before the Literary Adelphi, an oration on the effects of Idolatri , by Elisha Hammond. At 11 o'clock A. M. before the Phi Beta Kappa, an Oration on the effects of modern Philosophy , by the Rev. Asa M c Farland; and at 3 o'clock, before the United Fraternity, an Oration on the fire Arts , by Samuel Walker.
The performances merited applause; and we are happy to observe, that the most perfect order has prevailed through the week.
Portsmouth.
TUESDAY, SEPT. 14, 1802.
The Returns of votes in our last from 41 towns, gave the Republican candidates 1635, Anti 1589.
Twenty towns received since, which make in the whole 61 towns, Total, Republican 2217 Anti, Aristocratic, 2506
In WEARE, the Republican Ticket had an average majority of 85 votes, the highest number was 90—the highest on the anti-republican ticket was 4.
In NORTHFIELD, the Republican Ticket had every vote. Weare and Northfield stand firm in Republicanism. The Republican Ticket prevailed in Pembroke, Litchfield, Bow, Canterbury and Warner, by considerable majorities. (Concord Gazette.)
STATE APPOINTMENTS.
Jeremiah Mason, Esq. of Portsmouth, Attorney General for the State, vice William Gordon, Esq. deceased.
Nathaniel Rogers, Esq. of Newmarket, Judge of Probate for Rockingham county, vice Jeremiah Smith, Esq. resigned, having accepted his appointment as Chief Justice of the Superior Court.
George Sullivan, Esq. of Exeter, Solicitor for the county of Rockingham, vice William Plumer, Esq. resigned.
Isaac Waldo, Esq. of Barrington, Inspector General of Beef, Butter, &c. under the laws passed for that purpose in June last.
THE FEVER,
At Baltimore and Philadelphia, appears, by the last accounts, rather increasing.—At Baltimore, 30th August, the Board of Health report 6 new cases of fever in the last 4 days, and 24 interments during the week ending on that day. At Philadelphia, 1st September, were, by the Board of Health, reported 7 new cases of the fever, and the Board earnestly intreat the citizens to avoid all unnecessary intercourse with the sick; and those who have retired into the country are advised to remain until they can return with safety.
We bear from Boston, that the Yellow Fever rages there to a very alarming degree—no accounts of it in their papers.
A Duel has lately been fought at Savannah, between Wm. Hunter, Esq. and David P. Mitchell, Esq. both of that place. The agreement was to stand at ten paces distance, and advance two paces at each shot. Mitchell's first shot entirely missed; Hunter's struck Mitchell in the side, but the ball did not penetrate, it stopped in a fold of the shirt; Hunter's second struck Mitchell full in the thigh, but again failed to penetrate; Mitchell's ball, however, took a fatal effect in Hunter's side; it is supposed it went directly through his heart. He died on the spot.
A writer in the New-York Evening Post boasts of the estimation in which Hamilton is held by Talleyrand . We very cheerfully give him all the credit which it richly deserves. They were friends when Talleyrand was in America, and we make no doubt they continue to maintain a good understanding still. Their characters as moralists are exactly on a level—as politicians they agree in their dispositions, though, in point of talents, the Frenchman ought not to be brought down to be compared with the creole.
In 1798 the federalists endeavoured by every means to render the term republican unpopular and odious in the United States—they declared that it meant "any thing or nothing." They now call themselves federal republicans —are we to understand that they wish to be styled federal any-things or nothings ?

From the N. York Weekly Museum. TO THE LADIES. OUR lovely belles, whose tresses fair Enchant each doing wayward twain, Must surely act from motives rare, To hide this source of pleasing pain.
Those charming ringlets, which were once The pride and pleasure of the fair, Must yield, alas! to every dunce, Who sells his locks of fiery hair.
No longer now in native pride They grace the beauteous ivory neck, Each natural charm our fair ones hide, And wigs uncouth their heads bedeck.
Those waving forests, which now move, And fire each dashing city lass, Sweet mads! may emblematic prove, And speak the mental magic glass.
The flaming color you display, Which blaze like Milton's death and sin, May lead some candid friend to say, It shows the fire which glows within.
The mals of hair which decks the head, And waves with too much pomp & pride, Some gentle critic may m'flad, To think your dres is all on side.
Some female friends may all suppose, The head by nature is too light, That hence, fair lass! you propose By hair to make the balance right.
The sage philosopher will be there, Who proudly holds the judgment seat, And clas your heads with engines rare, Which only work when mov'd by heat.
Can you, ye fair, who freedom love, And hail the goddess Liberty, Such traitors to your guardian prove, And yield your heads to slavery?
Must heads alone be now confin'd, And feel the galling heavy chain, While all the rest is free as wind, Which sports upon my native plain?
Then leave awhile the imprisond head To taste the sweets of liberty, And, if employment you should need, Pay try to dress with decency.
No longer tempt the gaze's eye By full display of naked charms; No longer for employment sigh, But clothe your naked breast and arms.

For the N. H. GAZETTE. BENEVOLUS—No. II. OF all the qualifications which are re- quisite and essential to the attainment of felicity and true happiness, none I con- ceive is so materially and eminently distin- guished as PATIENCE; it is an attribute which when duly and properly cultivated, produces the happiest effects; it pours into the perturbed and afflicted bosom with ex- pansive effusion, the oil of consolation, and when the paroxysm of a fever, or a fit of dispondency seizes us, we are enlivened and animated by Patience; it dispels the portent- ous and gloomy cold, which threatens us with evil, like the emirid rays of the effu- gent sun which evaporates the noxious ex- halations of the earth, which prejudices our health; how divinely blest is that man, who inherits this inestimable gem, the possession of which consoles and alleviates the mind; pains, trials, temptations and a host of ills, vanish when we clothe ourselves in the ha- biliments of Patience; let every species of misfortune assail us, and even let the king of terrors invade our peaceable abodes, and with his reaper's hand reap the budding plant or the full blown rose, still this meek eyed virtue does her perfect work; In short nothing on this side the grave, can counteract its benign influence; by this su- perlative and excellent virtue we are shield- ed from the maledictions of enemies, from the hypocrisy of false friends, and from the ingratitudes of all mankind.
Medley.
AN old German who had been condem- ned to be executed for some offence, on his way to the gallows, was very deliberate- ly smoking his pipe. When he arrived at the place of execution, he took his pipe from his mouth and put it in the button hole of his coat. He mounted the cart which was immediately driven from under him; but by his weight the rope accident- ally broke, and in his fall to the ground his pipe met with the same fate. The old man rising slowly, and rubbing his eyes, per- ceived the broken pieces of his pipe, ex- claiming, "Look now! mit your tam non- sence, you make me broke mine pipe." A painter was employed in painting a West India ship in the river, suspended on a stage under the ships stern. The captain who had just got into the boat, along-side, for the purpose of going ashore, ordered the boy to let go the painter, (that is, the rope which makes fast the boat)—the boy, (who had never been to sea, and was ignorant of the term,) ran instantly aft and let go the ropes by which the stage was held. The captain surprised at the boy's delay cried out, "You lazy dog, why don't you let go the painter?" The boy replied, "He's gone, fir, pots and all."
THE following most extraordinary cir- cumstance occurred early on Thursday morn- ing, at the Grapes Tavern, in Cable-street, Liverpool: A young gentleman (under the influence of a dream, in which he supposed a person was pushing him with a pistol) left his bed in a middle story, and actually for- ced the lock of a door to attain the attic floor, when he opened the upper sash, and threw himself into the street. In falling, his shirt caught the projecting grapes, and forced them down with him. This con- siderably broke his fall, inasmuch that he lit upon his heels; and strange to tell, re- ceived no bodily injury whatever—not even the slightest fear. It will be recorded as an almost incredible wonder that after rising from bed, forcing the lock of a door, and falling from a window of three stories, the he of the dream had not left him, as on being interrogated by a watchman—"In the name of GOD, what is the matter?" he exclaimed, "A villain wants to shoot me!"
