To the PRINTERS.
IT must be a pleasing reflection to every considerate individual to find the manufactory of POT-ASH gains ground in this province, which by a prudent care to make only that, that is pure and merchantable, might in a few years become a staple commodity, and serve for the making remittances to Great-Britain, instead of the present unprofitable means by shipping.
A gentleman in trade now, altho' he employs a capital of some thousands sterling, with the closest application, can scarcely support a family, and the profit that is upon his trade is not upon his exports, but imports, and the consumer alone pays it eventually. POT-ASH not only admits of a good freight, but such an advance at the British market, as gives encouragement to pursue it; and as the new townships are now filling up with inhabitants, and the country seems alive by the emigrations of numbers from the neighbouring Colonies, it is hoped they will not neglect to give their utmost assistance to this branch of business, by preserving their ashes.
The large and comfortable fires, that are enjoyed by the new settlers, and the ashes produced thereby, which affords them a sale that amply rewards them for clearing, discovers a striking contrast to the necessitous many, that are left in the more populous towns to feel the afflictions of pinching colds.—Its common to say, a good fire is as good as a meal, for it certainly cheers up the spirits of the persevering settlers and makes them forget their wants, as knowing that the approaching season of the second year will abundantly crown their labours with the fruition of many other comforts and blessings.—It is really surprising that the young men of our settled towns appear so backward in going out into the new townships which may properly be called their birth-rights, while strangers are daily coming and taking away from them the best lands, and those that are easiest improved; and when they are obliged to retire (which must be the case of many) they will then reflect upon their imprudence in not going sooner, by being then obliged to buy worse lands than is now offer'd to be given them for settling. Considerate parents had better strive to advance prudent sons by assisting them with a little to support them now, rather than drudging on to them considerable hereafter.
Children had better be taught to earn, that they may know better how to spend.—The young men of this province are as industrious as those of any other, but parents are often to blame for keeping their children back, when they are desirous of going, some perhaps from the mean and unnatural views of saving their time in service; and others from a fondness that may prove both ruinous and destructive to constitution and interest.
The harvest season is almost over, and now is a good time to explore the country, and seek the possessions of good lands whereon to settle, and by industry to support a future, comfortable and happy existence under the smiles of a good providence who is ever ready to preserve and protect those that put their trust and confidence in Him.

Excise.
I the Subscriber, having purchased the Excise on Spiritous Liquors, of the Province of New Hampshire, for the Year 1771, hereby give NOTICE, that I will attend to receive the said Excise, the second and third Days of September next, at my House in Goff's Town. The fourth at Stephen Holland's, Esq; in Londonderry. The fifth at John Webster's, Esq; in Chester. The Sixth from Noon, to the End of the Seventh, at Capt. Samuel Tilton's, in Exeter. From the Ninth to the Twentieth, at Noon, at Capt. Jacob Tilton's, in Portsmouth, Sunday's excepted. I determine to be punctual as to Attendance, and hope all concerned, will not fail to meet me with their Accounts, prepar'd agreeable to Law, and the Method prescribed last Year, at some one of said Places:—Should any neglect to attend, they may justly expect Severity, as I am determined to spend less Time and Money the present Year, than I did the last. I must beg to be troubled with no such lumping and uncertain Accounts, as some offered last Year, and am determined not to receive any such Accounts, tho' sworn to; and hope all those Gentlemen of fair Minds, will not be offended at this Resolution, as I had it is absolutely necessary from some late Settlements, which has been made and swore to a second Time, the last Account differs very widely from the first. I have made some further Discoveries, which will make it necessary to have some of last Years Accounts corrected: Hence it appears that unless Accounts are settled with great Care, the Province will be greatly injured, nor will the Excise Master ever know when he has done settling. THEREFORE I chuse to settle them myself, unless the last Years Form be complied with that particular Oath.

By the Captains Jarvis & Collyer, arrived at Boston, from London, we have the following Advices, viz.
L O N D O N, June 11.
A Very powerful Association is forming in the capital provinces of France, to refuse the Payment of all Taxes. June 12. Notwithstanding the changes in the great Officers of State, which the death of the Earl of Halifax may occasion we can assure the public it is still fixed for L. Hillborough to go to Ireland.
One of Lord Townshend's head servants is arrived from Ireland, in order to prepare his Lordship's house for his reception. His Lordship intends to be in England about the middle of July.
The Earl of Halifax dying without issue male, his title becomes extinct.
We are assured that Lord Lyttleton has been repeatedly applied to within the last six months by the Ministry, to know what he will not refuse; but that he declined all connections, unless his friends were again introduced, though these very friends, with Lord Chatham at their head, sacrificed him on the dismissal of the Rockingham administration; and when he was proposed for Secretary of State by Lord Temple, exclaimed with an air of affected astonishment, "What, would you compare him to Lord Shelburne?"
June 13. His Majesty has been pleased to deliver the Custody of the Privy Seal to his Grace the duke of Grafton; and also to appoint the Earl of Suffolk to be one of his Principal Secretaries of State.
Mr. Whately is appointed Under-Secretary by the Earl of Suffolk. He is also appointed Surveyor of the King's Bench private roads in the room of Hatton Finch, Esq; a place worth 1000 per ann.
On Monday evening some dispatches were received by Count Bruhl, the Saxon Ambassador, which confirm the accounts of an accommodation taking place between the Empress of Russia and the Porte: and add, that a suspension of arms has already taken place.
June 17. A very extraordinary cause is now depending in Doctors commons, wherein a gentleman, of very considerable fortune, in the county of Surrey, charges his wife with incontinency: and she exhibits a complaint against her husband for being an hermaphrodite.
June 19. Lord Chatham is said to have refused the Privy Seal, unless Terms were granted advantageous to the Nation. An Instance of public Spirit that deserves Imitation.
Notwithstanding the Duke of Grafton is appointed Lord Privy Seal, he is not admitted to the Cabinet. Lord North has so far prevailed, tho' he could not keep the Duke out of Office, yet to keep him out of Council; so that his holding the high Office of Lord Privy Seal, may be considered as a Pension; a great nominal Employment, without any Duty.
June 20. We are informed, that an august Lady who has always discovered the utmost regard to this nation, is now endeavouring to prevail upon her Royal Consort, to set apart an hour in three days every week, for receiving petitions from persons of all ranks whatever, who desire admittance to his presence. The pattern is set by the Emperor of Germany, and adopted by the King of Sweden; which last is a second cousin to our august Monarch.
Yesterday a Chapter of the most noble Order of the Garter was held at St. James's, when the vacant ribbons, by the Death of the Right Hon. the Earl of Halifax, was presented to his Royal Highness the Bishop of Osnaburgh.
June 21. Wednesday her Majesty sat up a short time, for the first time since her lying in.---The young Prince, its said, is so much troubled with convulsions, that his Life is despaired of.
Lord Suffolk has been so dangerously ill of a Fever, that his Life has been despaired of.
A correspondent says, the Lord Mayor, by serving the office this year, will put into his pocket not less than 2000l. The Tower saved him the expenses of the Easter Ball, and the entertainment of the Bishops, and the presence of his gout, &c. is to excuse him for not giving any ball or entertainment for the Judges and others at any time throughout his mayoralty.
June 22. It may be depended on, that a single elderly gentleman of considerable fortune, near Frome, in Somersetshire, has bequeathed an Estate to Mr. Wilkes of 1200l. per annum after his decease; and it is said, that he has already presented the Patriot with a rental Present as a Reward for his Services.
We hear Lord North is appointed Ranger of Bushy Park, in the room of the late Lord Halifax. The salary is 600l. per ann.
John Kirkman and Richard Oliver, Esqrs. are put up in opposition to Messrs. Wilkes and Bell; and the friends of all parties are making interest to secure votes.
Yesterday three waggons, guarded by soldiers, loaded with money to the amount of 1,200,000 dollars, brought home from Cadiz by the Tweed frigate, arrived at the Bank for the use of the merchant.
On Thursday the Chevalier D'Eon, whose very extraordinary disappearance, about six weeks ago, has been the subject of so much enquiry and conversation, arrived in good health at his house in Petty France, Westminster. It appears that the Chevalier has actually been abroad, and during his absence has travelled above 600 miles in Germany; but the business on which he went thither does not transpire.---L. Packet.
A certain Ambassador, we are assured, has disavowed any knowledge of the insults said to have been committed by the Spaniards in the West-Indies upon the trading subjects of his Britannick Majesty.
The accounts in some of the papers, of a large body of troops Marching from Madrid, to prevent an expected insurrection in France is entirely without foundation.
A letter from Spain says, that the celebrated Bucarelli, late Governor of Buenos Ayres, is appointed Governor of Hispaniola, and is preparing to set off for the lucrative department.
N E W B E R N, North-Carolina, July 19.
By a person who has just been through the settlements of the Regulators, we have advice, that upwards of 6000 of those people have taken the oaths of allegiance to his Majesty, and happily returned to their farms and plantations: They say they are now perfectly contented, and express much satisfaction at the event of the late battle, which has opened their eyes, and fully convinced them of the wrong measures they were pursuing.
By several intercepted letters from the Regulating Chiefs, it has very plainly appeared, that they intended to serve the government, tho' it was a profound secret among themselves, and not suffered to transpire among the common people, who were so have been led on by degrees, with the pretences of redressing grievances, till their successes against the Provincial forces, which they make no doubt of, should have infatuated their minds, & ripened them for the execution of the grand Plan.
N E W P O R T, Aug. 29. 1771.
Last Tuesday a ship, built on a new construction, for carrying home to England a large quantity of Timber, was launched at Warren.---She was partly loaded before launching, with Timber framed in so as to be almost solid, and is to be filled up in
the same manner; by which means, tho' she will measure but about 160 tons, carpenters tonnage, 'tis said she will carry upwards of 1200 tons of Timber. This vessel is built on the plan contrived by Mr. Levi, who has a Patent for building this sort of vessels, which are called Rasts.
B O S T O N, THURSDAY August 22.
Tuesday arrived here Capt. Watt from Quebec, the Morning before he arrived about 15 Leagues Eastward of the Light-House he saw the Wreck of a Sloop, with her Mast standing, but stripped of her Rigging and no Person on board. She is tho' to be a Sloop from the Eastward, Gardner, Master, bound to Cape-Ann, which the People had left the Saturday Evening before, not being able to keep her above Water.
Extract of a Letter from London, dated June 5.
"You are not to form a Judgment concerning the State of our Affairs from any of the Representations in the News-Papers: These are entirely in the Hands of Wilkes and his Associates, who because they are the Printers best Customers can order what they please to be inserted in them, and accordingly there has scarce a Day passed wherein ten different Pieces have not been circulated in them which have no other Foundation than the Invention of these Men. Instead of Letters of Argument they have found that Articles of News answer their Purpose much better, and whatever Fictions any of them can invent either to vilify Government, or to keep up the Spirit of the Party, are instantly made Facts, and related in the News-Papers as upon good Authority, and with all the Confidence of undoubted Truths.---This serves to mislead the common People and to madden the Mob; but sedate discerning Men see through the Artifice, and now that the two leading Miscreants have quarrelled, the whole Management has come out to light.
"Horne you see makes a Merit of having in the Beginning of the Confederacy continually inserted in the Papers to serve Wilkes and the Cause, and he now charges Wilkes with having been in the continual Practice of heartrending and making himself the Hero of every Tale he could invent. People in the Country who don't know the Manoeuvres, have imagined that in this City we are upon the Eve of a civil War, yet in reality we are in a more profound State of Peace than for some Time past, and the Gentlemen of the opposition were never less likely to carry their Point and force themselves into Place.---Lord North is more firmly fixed than ever, and the R.....S, who have really been the Fomentors of all the Opposition, and the real Cause of these Fellows Importance, are now sinking lower and lower in the general Estimation."
From Bermuda, we learn, that there has been a very great drought there, and that for almost five months together they had no rain.
On Tuesday four men, three of whom we hear were petty officers, belonging to the Swan sloop of war, lately arrived here from England, were whipped from ship to ship, for desertion. We are told they are to receive 500 lashes each, 100 to be administered to each man weekly, for 5 weeks.
MONDAY, August 26.
In Capt. Jarvis, from London, came Passengers Mr. Henry Bromfield and Son, and Capt. Johnson of this Town.
Yesterday arrived Capt. Morth, in a Brig, in 58 Days from Liverpool; but has brought no Prints later than we have already received. Capt. Bishop in a Brig belonging to Plymouth, failed two or three Days before him.
We learn from Newbern in North-Carolina, that a Newspaper of the 27th of June last, called The Massachusetts-Spy , No. 17, had been received there, in which was inserted a Piece signed LEONIDAS, containing sundry particulars relative to the Measures pursued by that government against the Regulators, and highly reflecting upon the conduct and character of Governor Tryon and the disadvantages they labored under for want of a free Press; the Inhabitants of that Town, in order to do themselves and their late Governor justice, tho' themselves compelled in point of honor to call a public Meeting, which was accordingly done on Monday the 29th of July, in order to collect their sentiments respecting the Contents of said Paper; and the Hon. Samuel Cornell, Esq; being appointed Chairman, they came to several Resolutions in vindication of the Character of Governor Tryon, for his integrity and propriety of Conduct in public life; and that the Presses there were ever considered by them as entirely free, and as being open to all Parties, but influenced by none; that therefore the suggestions contained in the said Massachusetts-Spy were considered by them as an high insult and indignity offered to that spirit of constitutional freedom and independance which the Inhabitants of North-Carolina have ever discovered.---They conclude with the two following Resolves.
That the Paragraphs in the Massachusetts-Spy , which have reference to the Measures of Government taken by Governor Tryon against the Regulators, are replete with the basest Misrepresentations, the most palpable Falsities, and abusive Epithets, and scandalous Inuendoes, and that therefore it is a shameful perversion of the Liberty of the Press, and that the Authors and Publishers thereof deserve to be publicly flaggitized, and loaded with the heaviest contempt and reproach. And,
That the Chairman be directed to request the Sheriff of the County to give orders that the Paper called the Massachusetts-Spy , No. 17, be publicly burnt under the Gallows by the hands of the common Hangman as an open Testimony of the utter Abhorrence and Detestation in which the infamous Production, and its still more infamous Authors, are held by the People of this Government.
The Hon. Admiral Montagu has appointed the Rev. Mathew Byles, D. D. Rector of Christ's Church in this Town, Chaplain of his Majesty's Ship Lively , during her Station here.
Saturday last arrived here the Canso Store-ship from England. We hear from Northampton, that on the 21st Inst. Mr. Ebenezer Edwards of that Place, aged 43 Years, being out with some of his Neighbours, mending the Highways on the Road to Chesterfield, he received a blow on the Head by the falling of a Tree, of which he instantly died. He has left a Widow and nine Children, and was a Man well respected, his Death is therefore greatly lamented.
From St. Christopher we learn that on the 16th of July, the following Men of War arrived there, on their Way to Jamaica, viz. Princess Amelia, Admiral Rodney, Captain Marshall, of 80 Guns; Boyne, Capt. Burnett, of 70; Medusa, Capt. Wheelock, 64; and Archilles, Capt. Collins, of 60 Guns.---The Diana Frigate, Capt. Osbourn, of 32 Guns, and the Merlin Sloop Capt. Fotherington, of 16 Guns, which left England with the above Ships, were not then arrived.
S A L E M, August 27.
Last Sunday Capt. Bradbury Saunders arrived at Cape-Ann from the West-Indies, and coming to this Town Yesterday to enter his Vessel, we are advised, That about 35 Days ago a Pirate Vessel, said to be a Brig belonging to New-York or Philadelphia, was carried into Antigua; when it appeared, that nine of the People, while at Sea, turned Pirates, seized the Captain, and threw him overboard; and then confined 4 others to their Cabin: That a Spaniard, who was on board, taking Advantage of 4 of the Pirates being asleep, beat and split their Brains out with a Bread-Ax; then went to the Man at Helm, made a
Stroke at him, and wounded him in the Arm, which so terrified him that he ran forward and hid himself. The Spaniard afterwards went below, and released the four in Confinement; and was then so zealous in the Cause as to be desirous of demolishing the remaining 3 Pirates: He, however, with the Assistance of the 4 released, overcame and confined the Miscreants in Irons, by which Means the Vessel was happily carried into Antigua, where Capt. Saunders saw the Pirates on Trial.
Capt. Ebenezer Ward, in the Snow Endecott , who arrived here last Wednesday, relates as follows:---"As I lay at the Grand Key on July 25, 1771, at about 3 o'Clock, P. M. two Sloops came off the Road, one from New-London, bound to the Mole, which about 6 o'Clock bore away for said Port: The other was the Sloop Sally , James M'Conner, Master, from Newbern in North-Carolina, bound for Jamaica, who lay off & on till half an Hour past 7 o'Clock, P. M. and then bore away for Jamaica, as he afterwards said. He ordered the Course, when he bore away S. by W. though the Reef was plain to be seen by him and all the Crew from the Deck, and bore S. S. W. a little Westerly, and the Salt Key the same: He was told by Thomas Abel, (as I was afterwards informed by said Abel) who was at Helm at that Time, that that Course would carry him ashore:---His Answer was, Never do you mind, don't you fall off that Course:---And at 3 o'Clock, P. M. she was fast ashore on the Reef, between Grand Key and Salt Key, and bore S. by W. from the Road.---Thomas Abel, one of the said Sloop's Hands, desired of me a Passage, which I refused; my reason for which was, that if his Master was so great a Rogue as he appeared, he should not have it to say, that his Hands were gone, and he could not proceed further;---for I heard that he intended to sell his Vessel,---and told him (the Captain) that if he intended to sell, I would send away my Snow, and lay and buy his Sloop:---He told me no, he would take more Hands and proceed to Hispaniola,---though he goes on board and tells his Crew, he would get no more Hands, (as said Abel told me) it was supposed to make them run away. Nicholas Frith, who was one of the Wreckers, informed me they pumped her out and sucked her two or three Times; but the Captain forbid them, saying, he would save what he could for the under-writers, and the harder she lay the better for him.---If any Disputes should happen relative to the above, let those concerned apply to the Agent and other Gentlemen at the Grand Key at Turk's Island. I have reason to suspect the Master's Design, as he followed me to the Beech, and desired me not to put him in the Prints; but on my saying I should when I arrived he then desired me not to mention his Name, but only in general a Sloop from Carolina."
We hear that --- Fellows, late Commander of a King's armed Vessel, and who, a year or two ago, established his Character in the modern Way, as a faithful Servant to the ----- by rescuing a Prisoner from Civil Authority, and firing a few Bullets among the People, was whipped Ten Stripes at the public Whipping-Post in Falmouth, Caeo-Bay, last Friday Night, for Stealing.
Last Thursday a Boy in this Town, about 9 or 10 Years old, in reaching over the Curb of a Well, about thirty Feet deep, pitched in, fell head foremost to the Bottom, where there was 2 or 3 Feet of Water, and got out again (a considerable Part of the Way without any Assistance) with receiving but very little Hurt.
B O S T O N, August 22.
Last Saturday Morning died at Dedham, Mr. NATHANIEL WHITTING, aged 83 Years; and on Monday his Remains were decently interred He was a Man of a peaceable Disposition, and of a sober Life and Conversation. He left a sorrowful Widow, aged 82 Years, with whom he lived, in the married State, 58 Years. His Posterity that survive him are, 6 Children, 52 Grandchildren, and 50 Great-grand-children; in all 108. It is remarkable, that for about 71 Years it was his stated Employment to tend a Grist-Mill,---and was never known or suspected to take more Toll than the Law allowed. He was just and charitable to Man, and one that loved and served God.
Last Week one Mrs. --- Tisdale of Wrentham or Stoughtonham being disordered in her Senses, fastened a Silk Handkerchief so tight around her Neck that she expired before any Assistance could get to her.
A Man at the same Place cut his Throat, but not effectually, being that he is likely to recover.
Two Barns, one at Chebaco, and the other at Andover, were, we hear, last Week, set on fire by Lightning, and consumed, together with a considerable Quantity of Hay.
It has been reported in town for a few days past, that his Excellency Governor Tryon intends a visit to this metropolis, for the benefit of his health. The congratulating gentry will then have another opportunity to Try on their pens.
Capt. Dixey, arrived at Marblehead from Lisbon, on the 30th of June, in Lat. 39. 18. Long. 38. 20. was on board the Captains Thomas Lothrop and Thomas Allen; the former had 60 Barrels of Oil, and Allen 130, and had then just took a very large Spermaceti Whale in company, which they told Capt. Dixey they estimated at 600 Dollars.

L O N D O N, May 9.
A List of RELICS, to be seen in the Church of Dobberan, a village of the Duchy of Mecklenburg, situate two Miles from the Baltic. From NUGENT's Travels through Germany. IN the Church of Dobberan are still preserved many of these Relics so much respected in Popish Times. They are shown now as a Curiosity, and a Mark of the Ignorance and Superstition of former Ages. The List of them is as follows;  1. A small Quantity of Flax, which the Virgin Mary had for spinning.  2. A Bundle of Hay, which the Three Wise Men of the East had for their Cattle, and left behind them at Bethlehem.  3. A Bone of Ignatius Loyola, the Founder of the Jesuits.  4. A Piece of poor Lazarus's Garment.  5. A Bone of St. Christopher, & the first Joint of his Thumb.  6. The Shoulder-Blade of said St. Christopher.  7. A Piece of Linnen Cloth, which the Virgin Mary wove with her own Hands.  8. A piece of the Head belonging to the Fish mentioned in Tobit.  9. The Napkin, which the Bridegroom made use of, at the Marriage in Cana of Galilee.  10. Some Bones of Mrs. Adams, Grandmother of an Abbot of Dobberan.  11. A piece of Joseph's Mantle, which he left in the Hands of Potipher's Wife, when she tempted him to lie with her.  12. A Hair of Jeremie's Mustache.  13. Part of Judas's Bowels, which gushed out as they burst asunder.  14. The Scissors, with which Dalilah cut off Sampson's Hair.  15. A Piece of the Apron which the Butcher wore, when he killed the Calf, upon the Return of the Prodigal Son.  16. A Fragment of Christ's Winding-Sheet.  17. One of the five smooth Stones which David put into his Bag, when he went to encounter the Giant Goliath.  18. A Branch of a Tree on which Absalom hung by the Hair.  19. The Stone, with which Zipporah circumcised her Child on the Road.  20. A Night Cap of the Virgin Mary, with some of the Bones of the holy Innocents, slaughtered by Herod.  21. A Night Cap of the Infant Jesus.  22. The Head of St. Thomas the Apostle.  23. The Head of St. Paul.  24. The Head of St. Peter.  25. A Piece of St. Peter's Fishing-Net.  This is the whole Collection, which they preserve with as much Care as if it contained a most valuable Treasure. The Professor told Mr. Nugent, that one of the principal Relics had been stolen in the last Century; and it was no less than a Quill of the Angel Gabriel's Wing.
To the English Clergy.
DREADFUL temporal Calamities await us, or that which is infinitely worse! Pray reform, and tell the Laity to reform. Shew them their Sin! Be particular, because Deceit lies in Generals. Live yourselves as the Gospel teaches you; then with a good Grace you may rebuke the Pride, Luxury & Effeminacy, Extortion and Oppression, exorbitant Salaries and unnecessary Pensions; All which are open Vices, common at this Juncture. You know the Nation is ready to sink with the Weight of its Publick Debt! You see a vast Expence for the Body no Way necessary. You know the Instructor says, why take ye Thought for Raiment. You see a World of Anxiety for Gaiety and costly Array. Multitudes even in North-America, affect Finery, and will send to the East and West Indies for Breakfasting and Suppering, but take no Conscientious Care to pay, so much as their private Debts. What Fools are all those Men (and Women too) who had rather endure the Plague of being in Debt, than not wear a Feather in their Cap, or deny themselves of their luxurious Living! Will you not rebuke such notorious Sinners as all these? Will any of you continue to be like dumb Dogs that can't bark, or be partial in God's Law! Is there so much as one of you, seeing a mad Dog running through the Streets, but what would cry aloud, and not spare, A mad Dog! A mad Dog! when only the Body is in danger. The Blood of Abel's Body (you say) cried for Vengeance! You are accountable for the Blood of all those Souls that perish through your Neglect. The Forfeiture of your Salaries, or to die in a Dungeon, is nothing in Compare with this.
MONITOR.
Although some Persons have been so base as to assert, that Matrimony is a necessary state of slavery: If a man is tired of his liberty, or wants an alarm to keep him awake, let him marry. Matrimony is like a pot of aloes covered with honey, which just serves the pretty fond babes to dabble in during the honey month. But when the sweet covering is gone, the remainder is an inexhaustible source of bitters which ends but in life; that it is like a bad novel, the closer it is read, the worse it pleases; yet by a sensible man the purest sweets may be extracted from it. However, notwithstanding trifling Excuses,
MATRIMONY is absolutely necessary, for without a regular system of marriages, the civil government of any state or nation could not be supported. It is also necessary to lay a restraint upon our passions, to sweeten the charms of society, by the dearer ties of blood and affinity, and to ascertain the matrimonial descent of property; which otherwise could not subsist. There are five things indispensably necessary to make the married pair happy, viz. a competence; mutual good humour; sincerity; a proper allowance for human frailties; and a mutual confidence in each other. Without these and their secondary attendant graces, no married couple can be happy; and where these subsist, the persons are rarely otherwise. One great misfortune amongst married people is, they generally expect more from each other than nature will allow, or reason authorise; each seeing the errors or defects of the other, are blind to their own; whence mutual bickerings, jealousies, or distastes arise; and the calm union becomes like the jarring elements.
When the united constantly seek to please, and make each other happy; when their mutual enlargement are founded on virtue, love, and esteem, and when they generally allow for each other's errors of judgment and defects of disposition; they certainly constitute the happiest state human nature can admit of. It is the viciousness of choice, and the imprudence of our behaviour which makes the married state unhappy, and not any thing in itself.
PORTSMOUTH
On Monday the 12th Instant, the following remarkable Providence happened at the House of Mr. John Brown's, at Cape Elizabeth, in the County of Cumberland, between 4 and five o'Clock P. M. As a young Woman was weaving in the Chamber, a Blaze of Fire, in the Form of Lightning, came in at a small Window which was open, and burnt her in one of her Arms, set Fire to the Harness, and the Webb in the Looms, which in an Instant was almost consumed. A young Man who was at Work a small Distance from the House, hearing the young Woman cry out, ran to her Assistance, when with Wa-
ter, the Fire was happily extinguished, without doing any further Damage. What makes this Dispensation of Providence the more remarkable is, this young Woman, a little before the Accident happened, being out Doors, came in and said she saw a terrible Flash of Lightning, which was not seen by any in or about the House; and when she was set on Fire, none of the Family saw it but herself. Moreover, the Air was clear, and no Appearance of a Thunder Shower, nor any Smell of Sulphur, as is usual, when Buildings are set on Fire by common Lightning.
Last Sunday the 25th Inst. came to Town, Capt. Fishley, late Master of the Ship Newcastle, of this Place, burthen 160 Tons, who on his Passage for Gouldsboro' suddenly sprang a Leak, and in endeavouring for a Harbour, ran on a Ledge of Rocks at the Entrance of Owles Head, a Harbour in Penobscut Bay, by which Means she sunk, the Men were all saved; some of the Rigging will be saved, but the Hull is entirely lost.
On Tuesday the 18th of this Month, died at Scarborough, Mr. James Libbey, who for about six Years past, has rode as Post from hence to Falmouth.

On the 16th of this Month, in the Evening, a very melancholy Accident fell out; as the only Daughter of Ensign Robert Wilson of this Place, was returning from School, her Brother was standing upon a Log of a Fence, picking some Berries, she saw the Log ready to fall, and ran to his Relief, he escaped unhurt, when the Log caught her, and went over her Body, she lived a few Hours, and then expired: She was always an obedient Child, a good Scholar, kind to her Acquaintance, which makes her untimely Death greatly lamented in this Place.
On the 19th of this Inst. John Swain and Joan Wilson, were married together, whose two Ages conjunctly, is not less than one hundred and fifty Years: Their Feast was upon the 22d Day, where, to speak within Bounds, 'tis believed, that they had six Score of People to Dinner.

NOTICE is hereby given to the Public, that there has lately appear'd in the Character of a BEGGAR, a short thick set IRISHMAN, who has but one Eye, belongs to Nottingham, and makes a Practice of travelling thro' the Country with a Woman, begging Charity, representing that he has lost a House and Furniture by Fire; the whole of which being of a trifling Value; and as it is certain he has gathered ten times as much as he lost, it will now be prudent in him to desist; if he does not, it is more than probable such Notice may be taken of him as will not be very agreeable.—A Word to the wise is sufficient

E. which was supposed to Occasion so hard a Storm as was ever known in that Town. The Steeple of the old Meeting-House was struck, and very much shattered; it struck down the Weather Cock, and tore a great Hole in the Roof of the Steeple, and then run down the North Part of the Steeple. Messrs. Nott's, Hezekiah Johnson's and Isaac's Houses were struck; and Mrs. Meriman's Negro, but not much hurt. The Houses of Mr. Nott and Mr. Johnson are about four Miles distant, N. E. and S. W. This is the third Time the said Steeple and Weather Cock has received the like Catastrophe. The first Time a young Man when finishing the same, was by the Explosion thrown off about 86 Feets, and lived about three Quarters of an Hour in most exquisite Anguish of Body, and then expired.
