Pearse & Walker,
Have just received for sale,
"Dearborn's Proportional
BALANCES."
THESE instruments for weighing, are of such utility as to be fast getting into general use. To state every advantage in the use of them would be superfluous; suffice it to say, they may be "purchased for half the cost and used with half the labour of scales and weights;" for "ease, dispatch, and precision," they surpass any thing of the kind extant. The frequent demand for them through the states and elsewhere, is of sufficient proof of their usefulness and merited approbation. April 30th, 1805.

N. YORK.
NEWYORK, MAY 7, Remarkable.—We are creditably informed, incredible as it may appear, that a poor family from one of the eastern states, lately passed through Albany on the way to the western country, for the purpose of cultivating an extensive farm which had been given to them. This family consisted of a man his wife, and twenty-four sons, twenty of whom were born at ten births. They had been married only 18 years. Our informant adds that so great was the curiosity of the people in and about Albany, that hundreds crowded to see them—one gentleman presented each of the sons with ten dollars—and presents of various kinds, were heaped upon them.

As the season advances, when the operations of our squadron in the Mediterranean will commence, we feel a revival of the hopes for their successful termination, in the freedom of our captive countrymen. Every effort has been made by government to give efficiency to the enterprise and courage of our officers and seamen, nothing has been left undone to promote the end desired by us all—our squadron will comprise a larger force than has heretofore been engaged against Tripoli, and notwithstanding the sneers of our federal prints, in this quarter, will no doubt add to the glory of their country by procuring a peace without disgraceful tribute—it will consist of six frigates, six sloops of war, and the gun boats procured in the Mediterranean in September last, besides those which have sailed, or are at this moment about to sail, from our own ports. The former value of the crews gives us ample assurance of its further exercise, in defence of their country's rights; nor can we look for less activity and zeal in the present commander, Barron, than marked the conduct of his predecessor. Tribble.
Rapid Population.
NEW CONNECTICUT. —This district of territory which constitutes the north east section of the new State of Ohio, is fast rising to notice. Six or eight years ago, it was a trackless wilderness, known only to the hunter and the savage. Yankee enterprise, however, promises to convert this wilderness, into a garden, and thus verify the prediction, of the celebrated Volney, who in speaking of our north western country says that it will hereafter become the Flanders of America. The emigrations already amount to about 800 families, and 200 families more are expected to come in the present year.—Mills are erected in various parts, schools established and a charter obtained for a college. The general face of the country is level, and the soil uncommonly rich and deep.—It is bounded on the north by Lake Erie, in lat. 41, and extends south on the west line of Pennsylvania, to within about 40 miles of Pittsburgh. The climate according to Volney, corresponds with that of Maryland, notwithstanding that it lies nearly in our parallel of latitude.

From the Boston Chronicle.
To the 26, Representatives of Boston.
WE, the Salmon, Shad and Alewives, living and swimming within the rivers, creeks, and other waters of the commonwealth of Massachusetts,—respectfully represent to your honors, that our situation has been truly deplorable, from the constant dissensions between the several towns through which your petitioners are obliged to pass, to perform those duties of nature, which are not only incumbent on your particular species, but even arrest the strong propensities of the fowls of the air and the fish of the sea. We are happy to find there appears some prospect that our state of trouble and uncertainty is likely to subside, that some permanent residence will be assigned us, whereby we may be free from those constant obtrusions which for so many years have beset our innocent offspring.
We have long wished that the town of Boston would exercise their right of sending as many representatives as are allowed by the constitution, being persuaded that from so impartial a decision, our liberties and immunities would be duly appreciated. As Boston cannot be greatly interested in the question, (as it respects their particular benefit) we anticipate the happiness that some law will be passed free from all party dissensions, that we, and our young ones, may dwell in quietude; and partake of those common benefits which the God of nature has bestowed on every species of creation. We particularly look to that great man, emphatically called the Giant of the Law , that he would vouchsafe to look into all the ancient and modern authorities; and, if possible, to find out the real boundaries within which we have a right to swim; and by some permanent statute, determine our immunities without any molestation, let, or hindrance. We have been harassed in a legislative conflict from time immemorial:—The acts of the court are more numerous on our particular cases than on any others; and Salmon, Shad and Alewives, have become so far incorporated in your proceedings that we form a prominent feature in the doings of the legislature.
We would inform your honors that we have had a general meeting in our respective rivers and creeks, since the subject of augmenting the representatives of the metropolis, we have called on all the Salmon, Shad and Alewives, to unite, and show their strength; and, if possible, to bear down the influence of our country opponents. We have had communications from every rivulet, pool, and haven, within the commonwealth; and we are happy to declare to your honors, that on your wisdom, firmness, and philanthropy, we depend for aid and succour in all our future circuits. Twenty-Six men, who are wholly detached from finister views, (as they relate to our circumstances) must, we think, produce an influence highly favorable to the common privileges of Salmon, Shad and Alewives. In behalf of the association,
Thomas Salmon, Moderator.
Charles Shad, Secretary.
N. B. We have chosen a large Committee to make every necessary arrangement to carry your decisions into operation; and you may depend on it, that every Salmon, Shad and Alewife, will exert themselves to give efficacy to your determinations.
It is evident that A majority of the towns (as well as a majority of the inhabitants) of this state, voted on the fifth of November for the Republican Ticket: if this majority of towns is sufficiently great to countervail the federal preponderance of Boston, Portland, and Newburyport, there is no doubt but the Houle will this year be the faithful Representatives of this, state—as it was on the
Fifth of November.
Rhode Island. —The elections, in this respectable state, for governor, legislators, and judges, have recently terminated, in such a manner as the republicans of the union must approve. Governor Fenner is re-elected chief magistrate; Paul Mumford, lieutenant governor. The house of representatives consists of seventy members, of whom but twenty two are federalists; there is not one federal member in the senate; the judges and justices elected are of course equally acceptable to the majority of the people.
The only circumstance, which rendered the last election, more remarkable than any former one, was the first effort of a third party which began its operations against an individual as was the case in this state. The discontented office hunters set up a Mr. Hoxie for lieutenant governor in opposition to the tried republican Paul Mumford: the federalists threw their weight into the scale in favor of this fashion, yet they were completely discomfited; Mumford having 1788, Hoxie 1019 votes, majority 769. This triumph will be considered of more consequence, if the reader reflects that it is but a few years since the federalists were the majority in the state.— Aur.
The following extract from a late British paper, affords one among a thousand evidences of the real benefits, experienced by the English people from their boasted magna charta independent judiciary, and stupendous government—such scenes would have been somewhat familiar in this country had the real objects of federalism been attained:
“A terrible affair happened on Saturday at Weymouth—a press gang from a frigate lying in Portland roads, consisting of the capt. and his lieut. of marines, and about as many sailors, came on shore at Portland castle, and proceeded to the first village, called Chideock. They impressed Henry Wiggott and Richard Way without interruption. The people of the island took the alarm, and fled to the village of Eaton, which is situate about the centre of the island, where the people made a stand at the pond—the gang came up and the capt. took a man by the collar—the man pulled back, on which the capt. fired his pistol: at which signal the heat of marines ordered his men to fire, which being done, three men fell dead, being all shot through the head—viz. Richard Flax, aged 42 years; Alexander Andrews, 47 years, and William Lang, 28 years, all married men, two of them quarry men, and one a blacksmith—One man was shot through the thigh and a young woman in the back: the ball is still in her body, and little hope are entertained of her recovery. Lang the blacksmith, was at his shop door, and there fell dead.”
The death of those innocent and industrious men was passed over with a simple coroner's verdict, and mock trial, but they were “ clod hoppers ”—their murder, or the misery entailed on their wives or families, were not thought worthy of a second remark in the papers—whilst the irregular justice, inflicted on the French duke D'Enghien, who was attempting to revive another Coblentz association, and to spread civil war and all its attendant horrors through France, was thought sufficient cause by the British papers, for all Europe to unite in arms and renew the bloody scenes of the last ten years, for all the crowned despots once more to weigh themselves against the Gallic sword, risk their existence as monarchs, the revolutionizing of their kingdoms—and the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of their subjects; such is the vast difference in Europe of the value and estimation of those beings whom the God of nature created equal and with equal rights—such will it be in America whenever those possessed of small property, fawn, cringe and bend to a rich, aristocracy, merely for their wealth, whenever the poor man if he is honest forgets that he is of equal consequence in the state, with the proudest would be peer—in short whenever they submit to be reproached, by those whom they support, as geese, clod-hoppers and ignoramus . [Aurora.]
Ever since the year '93, Federalism has not gained a single proselyte. It was then at its fever heat; it was at its crisis; the cords then gave their most exalted tone, and were strained up and strained up, 'till one after another they, have many of them snapped. Federalism has not for seven years past even held its own; it has been constantly going behind hand like a shop-keeper who receives favors of the banks; or a merchant whose chief commodity for sale, is his own manufactured notes.
Democracy on the contrary, altho' much decried, has been constantly gaining ground. It has shot a head almost as rapidly as federalism has fallen after and gone to leeward. It has gained proselytes from all the disinterested; from all the “ unplaced, unpenioned ” & un bribed. It is not to be wondered at that those who held lucrative contracts under “the old order of things,” should still stick by the stuff, and cling to themselves ; unmelting monuments of their own folly, they remain like the indissoluble contents of an ice house, in the midst of summer.
All the increase of votes, in this rapidly increasing country, is on the side of Democracy; and it derives many adherents from the number of those who reprobate the unworthy treatment which many of its ancient votaries have too long received.
*Among the antient deceased votaries of Democracy in this country, were Samuel Adams, Edmund Pendleton, Edward Rutledge, Thomas Mifflin, Patric Henry, Joseph Warren, John Hancock, Peyton Randolph, Rich'd Montgomery, Geo. Washington, Henry Laurens, Benjamin Franklin....No brighter names than these, have ever shone on the historic page. P. Phoenix.
The federalists fill their papers with lamentable tales about the disunion among the Republicans! Just as if the federalists had fed as lovingly together, as so many wild pigeons. They think that all the world has forgotten how lovingly their Adams, and Pickering and Hamilton fed together, as well as many others, who have long since disappeared. These half stories, their confels, are told not to convert their enemies, but to confirm the weak and doubting of their own party—their own unsledged young, that have not learnt to fly. Did you ever see a pigeon catcher draw his net, and crack the heads of the dear little birds he had taken?

St. Domingo. —By a gentleman from St. Thomas we are obligingly informed of some circumstances respecting the defeat of the Haytians before the city of St. Domingo, by the garrison under command of the brave Ferrand: who on this occasion is said displayed all the qualifications of a consummate general, and all the firm intrepidity of real courage.
When the negro army appeared off that city, and were in a condition to attack it, a summons was sent, to the following purport.—“Jean Jaques, the first Emperor of Hayti, to Gen. Ferrand, Commanding a division of the troops of the French Republic. As it is inconsistent with the laws and independence of the Empire, that any portion of the French army should be allowed to remain in the island, General Ferrand is summoned to surrender the city of St. Domingo in twenty-four hours: if at the end of that time the city shall not be evacuated, it will be delivered to plunder, and all the inhabitants thereof be put to the sword.” It being difficult to procure any person who would risk the delivery of a suitable answer to this demand, the Commandant ordered three cannon shot to be levelled at the Black camp, which conveyed a defiance in terms as strong as the pen could have done, and doubtless as well understood.
The action was fought on the plain of St. Charles, on the 28th of March. The resources not less than the courage of Ferrand and his associates is seen in his finding means, with so small an army, to garrison every part, of the city, and to make a sortie against a foe so numerous, so desperate, and so insatiable for blood and vengeance. Seconded by a little band of Heroes, he however, attacked successively, and successively carried, every intrenchment of the enemy. His second in command heading the attack on the first line received a very severe wound; not discouraged he led them on to the second, where he received several others, still concealing his situation from his companions, he conducted them to the third, in carrying which he received a musket ball thro' the lower viscera, of which he almost instantly died.—From the Spanish troops but little aid was received in the first and partial engagements with the blacks, but in this decisive one, the presence of their commander, whom they loved and feared, animated them to actions which seemed to be inspired by a desire to surpass their French comrades.
The defeat was complete. 1300 Brigands were counted dead on the field of battle; all their ammunition, a large portion of their military stores, their magazines of provisions, and the military chest and treasures of the Emperor, fell into the hands of the victor; whose loss in the battle did not exceed 80 men.
The fleet of Admiral Miffelin (or Minissis) arrived either on the day of the battle or the day succeeding, but had not at the time landed any troops. The ships did not come to anchor, but after putting the aids which they had for garrison on shore, stood out to sea.—We understand that the inhabitants of St. Domingo have been invited to return; as the siege is raised, and the army of Dessalines completely withdrawn.— Nor. Ledger.
Admiral Cociurane touched at St. Thomas, in pursuit for the French squadron, but not finding it there continued his course for St. Domingo.
We have a confirmation of the defeat of Dessalines at St. Domingo; he with 13,000 brigands attacked the city of St. Domingo, but was repulsed with the loss of 2000 men, after a gallant resistance by the few troops under the command of Gen. Ferrand.—The French fleet after landing 900 troops, arms, ammunition, &c. on the 4th of April at St. Domingo, failed for France.
Capt. Bell, arrived at New-York, informs that the port of Curraoa is blockaded by 3 English Frigates.
Imprisonment of American Consul.
A Member of the Board of Health, acquaints us, that capt. Brull, who arrived on Saturday, in 16 days from Havanna, informs, that on the 26th April, Vincent Gray, Esq. then acting American Consul there, was arrested, and committed to prison. This measure created much embarrassment to the American masters ready for sea, and had excited much conversation; but the cause of the arrest was unknown. From 10 to 15 vessels, ready to sail, could not get their papers finished.
Letters are received in town from the Havanna, which corroborate the above intelligence, in all its particulars. [Boston paper.]
The Spaniards, it is said, have two hundred and fifty Spanish privateers, cruising against English commerce in the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
From FRANCE.
By the arrival of the brig Orlando, Capt. Cottle, yesterday, in 35 days from Molix, we have been favoured with a file of the Journal au Commerce to the 30th of March, Paris dates.
We find the whole attention of Frenchmen again occupied with another event of glory, which shortly awaits their beloved Emperor. The Cardinal Fesch and M. de Ségur, Grand Master of Ceremonies, had departed for Milan, on their route to attend the Coronation of Bonaparte as,
KING OF ITALY!
The tribunal had resolved, on the motion of their President, to wait upon the Emperor in their corporate capacity to felicitate his Majesty, on the glorious occasion.
The cardinal Caprara, Archbishop of Milan, is to officiate at the coronation of Bonaparte, and his First Chamberlain M. Remusat who is appointed to convey the ornaments to be used at the ceremony, has already left Paris.
In General Orders, dated on board “ The Imperial Flotilla at Boulogne ” the 22d of March, Admiral Lacrosse announces to the squadron his appointment to succeed Admiral Bruix, who died on the 17th of February.
Capt. Cottle informs that previous to his sailing, a Fleet of 22 sail had put to sea from Brest, but on discovering an English squadron, they returned to port.
Very little indeed, is said in the latest papers, respecting England or war.
GIBRALTAR, JAN. 22.
On the night of the 20th a tremendous gale from the S. W. came on about twelve o'clock, accompanied with the heaviest sea ever witnessed in this bay, which by morning did great mischief to the shipping off the New Mole and the King's Battery, upwards of twelve square rigged vessels being completely wrecked or sunk, and many others dismasted. The gale towards morning flew round to the N. W. seemed to blow with redoubled fury. A transport with three hundred men of the 57th regiment on board, had her stern completely beat in, and the men were obliged to be immediately landed, without their arms or baggage, as she was hourly expected to founder. The N. Mole presented a horrid scene of distress—five valuable prizes driven on shore, and full of water, two large vessels sunk, one large vessel completely over-set, besides a vast number of coasting vessels driven on shore or sunk. A fine copper bottomed ship laden with sugar, was driven on shore near ragged Staff with an English and Swedish brig and a large Greek polacre completely wrecked, the crew saved with great difficulty.
The damage done is computed at least to amount to 200,000 pounds, and a very considerable expence and labour will be requisite to clear the New-Mole of the wrecks.—This melancholy scene, though necessary, obliged the commander in chief to land the troops lying in the Bay, and to admit all the crews who were shipwrecked, though otherwise it was not intended to have allowed any one to land before the 10th of this month. As, however, there has been no new cases of fever for these last 16 days, we have every reason, to believe that the disease has ceased for this season.
OHIO. CHILICOTHE, APRIL 15.
A letter from a gentleman at St. Louis, upper Louisiana, of the 6th March, informs that Mr. Morrison of this place, last fall sent a party of men up the Missouri, to cross the Country, and trade with the Spaniards of Santa Fe—That they so far succeeded, as to induce the inhabitants to trade with them; some of whom were returning with Morrison's party, when they were all killed by the Indians belonging to a nation who were at war with those who served as guides to conduct the party. Three Frenchmen who had remained in the village, were also murdered, in revenge for some Indians who were killed at the same time.
RICHMOND, APRIL 4.
“On counting the scalps on yesterday of a squirrel hunt in this county, there were, including a few crow's and hawk's scalps, eight thousand eight hundred and fifty seven produced on the ground.”
Capt. Brewton, from Amsterdam, arrived at Philadelphia, says, the winter has been the hardest known there for many years. The river was frozen over in November, and at Amsterdam, the ice did not break up 'till the 15th of March.
“The blind puppies and a Federalist.” A boy in a neighboring town had the good fortune a few days since, to fall heir to a litter of puppies.—A federal Lawyer made application to the boy, to purchase one of them—and among other questions, asked him what breed they were—The boy replied, that they were then Federalists, but in nine days would be Republicans.— Nat. Egi.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY MAY 21, 1805.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
SINCE our last, we have received London papers to the 8th April last—some days later than before had come to hand.
Though these papers are filled with shrewd conjectures and "wise saws," of news-mongers and busy-bodies, on the part which the Russian Empire was to take in the war between Great Britain and France;—there had not been received any authentic information on the subject.—It was nevertheless apparent that Russia exhibited some reluctance to an active cooperation in the war. Appearances, however, may be deceptive.—Great bodies have slow motions: It was certain, the British government had made provision for a subsidy of some of the Continental Powers; and equally certain, that the Russians have a strong force in the South of Europe; with whom, there existed a strong probability, that the powerful expedition on the eve of sailing from England at the date of our last accounts, was intended to co-operate. Sweden also had not given her voice for war; and was apparently kept back by the menaces of Prussia.
France, as usual, exhibited a spirit of active preparation for operations by "flood and field;"—for war and ceremony.—Bonaparte, after creating new kingdoms for himself,—has carved out a new principality, in the centre of Italy, for his Sister the Princess Eliza, (late Le Clerc.)
FROM HAVANA, MAY 3. The imprisonment of Mr. Gray, the acting American Consul, created much agitation here. His countrymen, particularly Messrs. Morton, Chester and Frazer, felt a lively and spirited interest in his fate; and after being confined about 12 hours he was liberated. The Governor has declared, that his arrest was without his knowledge and direction:—And the Intendant, who signed the warrant for his arrest, has avowed that he did it through inadvertency;—and that an Assessor was the only person in fault, who should be punished.—The ships' registers were restored; but all the other papers were still detained. The charge against the Consul was having connived at the fraud of a Master of an American vessel, in cheating the government out of certain duties—which could not be proved against him. A public dinner has been given the Consul, by his countrymen, as proof of their undiminished confidence."
WEST-INDIES. From this quarter we learn, that Admiral Cochrane's squadron appeared off, and failed from Jamaica, the 18th April, in pursuit of the Rochefort squadron, steering Northward and Eastward. On the 19th April, the French squadron was spoken in lat. 34, 12, lon. 50, steering East. They have the start of the English by 16 days sailing. (Continued.)
From the Captain of the Tickler, of Baltimore, who stopped here on his way from Bermuda, to land passengers, we learn that the ship Manhattan of New-York (from Batavia) was cleared 20th ult. The captain had appealed for damages.—The brig Nancy would not be put on trial until proofs of the neutrality of her property should have had time to arrive from America.—[The secretary of the Marine Insurance Company failed from hence, with these proofs, 17th ult.]—Bermuda was shut against Americans; but it was expected it would soon be opened again.—The captain of the Tartar frigate impressed (at St. George's) all the crew of the Tickler, including the mate; with much difficulty the mate was got back, but none of the others. Capt. Maxwell threatened that wherever he met an American vessel at sea, on board of which there was an Englishman, an Irishman or a Scotchman, he would take every soul from on board of her and send her adrift; that such was the best mode of punishing the abuse of protections. As we have a law providing for the punishment of such outrage, when the perpetrator of it shall come within our jurisdiction, we hold it the duty of every captain, against whom it has been or may be committed, to enter his protest against it immediately on his arrival at port, and to forward it with such circumstantial proof as may be within his power, to the office of state. And this we earnestly recommend to them not to neglect. Norfolk, Virginia paper.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in South-Carolina, to his friend in this County, dated March 30th, 1805. "In this State, as well as most of the Southern States, the voice of opposition to the present chief magistracy is hardly to be heard; except the silence may now and then be interrupted by the hackneyed and disgusting abuse of a few British Scribblers."
The fruit of free, unbiased Elections will always produce REPUBLICAN OFFICERS As RULERS!
And as this was the case at our late spring elections, we have this day the happiness of congratulating the free-born sons of Columbia, and particularly the enlightened citizens of enlightened New Hampshire, on the election of their old tried friend and patriot the Hon. JOHN LANGDON, Esq. to the governmental chair of this State, by a majority of about FOUR THOUSAND VOTES.
Our happiness is also increased in being able with certainty to inform the public that there is a majority of the council and senate genuine Republicans. This may be seen by the statement below.—Citizens of New-Hampshire, we most cordially congratulate you on this auspicious era! May you long live to enjoy the fruits of your enlightened reason, in this our land flowing with milk and honey, and may the naue and enjoyment of LIBERTY give a peculiar zest to all other blessings.
His Excellency the Governor and the Hon. Council met at Exeter last week, for the purpose of counting the votes for Senators, the present year; they stand thus,—
District No. 1. * Storer had 1855 votes and is chosen; Leavitt, 507. No. 3. Orr, 1090 votes and is chosen; White, 800. No. 4. * Bradley, 1249 votes and is chosen; Kent, 796. No. 5. * Waldrón, 1239 votes and is chosen; Wingate, 708. No. 6. * Shannon, 1157 votes and is chosen; Taylor, 987. No. 7. * J. K. Smith, 1403 votes and is chosen; F. French, 818. No. 8. * Alcock, 1534 votes and is chosen; Wallace, 313. No. 9. Newcomb, 1960 votes and is chosen; Whitcomb, 837. No. 10. * Aldrich, 1119, votes and is chosen; Bingham, 951. No. 11. Kimball, 1225 votes and is chosen; Johnson, 773. No. 12. Payson, 1199 votes and is chosen; Tarkén, 981.
* REPUBLICANS. Making seven Republican to four federal Senators chosen by the people. In district No. 2 there is no choice. Richard Jenness, Esq. had 834 Oliver Peabody, Esq. had 727 Scattering, 232
When the fact was so fully ascertained, as no longer to be denied, that the friend of the People, our beloved LANGDON, was elected to the chief magistracy of this State, the forlorn feds, to avoid drowning themselves in despair, affected to derive consolation from an assurance that Mr. Langdon's administration would be disturbed by the prevalence of a federal faction in the senate,—but alas! even this frail support to their desponding spirits is now withdrawn, as the events of the last week have assured us, that we shall have eight republican Senators, out of twelve. Of the house, the feds never had a hope; as they well knew, that three quarters of that body are republican. From the council indeed, they affected to derive some consolation, but even that small source of comfort is dried up, it being fully ascertained, that three at least of the five councillors, are republicans. They now have no refuge but in despair. The heart of federalism is broken in New Hampshire; its sun is set, never more to rise; and all who recollected the tyrannical exercise of their little brief authority, while in power; will rejoice in their downfall, and exult in the overthrow of a system of politics, which in a short time, would have overthrown every Republican Government in the union.
Good News from the North. By a gentleman from Orange county we are informed, that Mr. Tisk, a Republican, has obtained his election as a member of congress, by a majority of four hundred votes.
Windsor Vt. Journal. A few years ago, when the Virginia resolutions were first proposed for consideration in the Senate of this State, there was but one member in favor of them, and that member was old Judge Bacon, of Berkshire county. There are 18 members of the same political sentiments in the same honorable assembly for the present year.—Here is Republican improbability demonstrated in Massachusetts.

On the 12th instant the body of a man supposed to be a Mr. Moses Door, was found lying in a small brook in the road leading from Durham to Newmarket.—The jury of inquest gave their verdict, that he came to his death by misfortune, being drowned. [Dover Sun.]

Extract from a letter addressed to the Philadelphia agricultural society, on raising calves without new milk.
“COULD we discover a method not only to raise calves, but to make good veal for the butcher without the use of new milk, it might induce our farmers to keep their calves five or six weeks, at which age the meat would be much better, and the skins much more valuable, particularly for boot-legs than when killed young.”
“The result of the experiment was that the veal, fed with the oil, was one pound and a quarter heavier than the other, and was rather superior to it in every other respect not having the taste of the oil, of which I was apprehensive. At the same time, that the oil is very nourishing, it tends to keep the body open which is of great advantage in the fattening of animals.”
A most excellent method of making butter as now practised in England which effectually prevents its changing and becoming rank.
The day before churning, scald the cream in a clean iron kettle, over a clear fire, taking care that it does not boil over. As soon as it begins to boil, or is fully scalded, strain it, when the particles of milk which tended to sour and change the butter, are separated and left behind. Put the vessel into which it was strained into a tub of water, in a cellar, till next morning when it will be ready for churning and become butter in less than a quarter of the time required in the common method. It will also become hard with a peculiar additional sweetness and will not change. The labor in this way is less than the other as the butter comes sooner and saves so much labor in working out the butter milk. By this method good butter may be made in the hottest weather.
NUTS. A late advertiser for a house in some public part of the town, stipulated that it shall be near to either a timber's or a blacksmith's shop—that the ringing of their hammers and anvils may drown the more unpleasant sound of his wife's tongue. A person who advertises in a Hudson paper “Patent Augers for Post-Holes, Wells, &c” says, “it is believed that those who have used them in clay, sand or loamy soil, would as soon think of eating soup with a fork as digging a post-hole with a spade!” A free negro, was brought before a magistrate and convicted of pilfering; the magistrate begins to remonstrate—“Do you know how to read?”—“Yes, massa, little!”—“Well, don't you never make use of the bible?”—“Yes, massa, I trap my razor on it sometime.”

THE MANGERAS OF Piscataqua Bridge Lottery
offer to the Public the following SCHEME, For the THIRD CLASS.
Table with 4 columns: Prizes, Dollars, Tickets, Amount. Lists prizes from 3,000 down to 8 dollars, and the number of tickets for each.
500 TICKETS shall be considered as one complete day's work, and the fortunate Blanks shall be determined at that rate of drawing, whether a greater or less number come out of the Wheels in one day. All Prizes to be paid at the expiration of thirty days, (excepting the highest,) which will be paid within sixty days, after the drawing is completed—the drawing to be completed within twenty-six working days.—Prizes not claimed within one year will be considered as generously given to the Bridge, and will not be paid after that time. The Scheme is calculated at less than two Blanks to a Prize, and is composed of a great number of handsome Prizes, the chance is much better than in any former Lottery, composed of very high and very low Prizes. An early day will be appointed for drawing in Boston. The Managers flatter themselves that the punctuality observed in the two former classes, will insure a ready sale for Tickets in this Class. Tickets will rise to five dollars and 50 cents, twenty days previous to drawing, and to six dollars on the fourth day of drawing. Tickets for sale at the usual places. Printers who advertised the former scheme, are desired to publish this in their respective papers. THOMAS THOMPSON, Manager. ELIJAH HALL, Agents. Lottery-Office, New Brick-Building, opposite the State-House. Portsmouth, Feb. 28, 1805. THE 3d. Class of Piscataqua Bridge Lottery, will commence drawing on the 9th day of July next.
