Some years ago a gentleman of the name of BOND, of Bontwil, in the County of Armagh, died, and left in his Will, for a Dial to be erected on his grave, with the following inscription:
NO marble pomp, no monumental praise; My tomb this Dial, epitaph these lays; Pride and low mould'ring clay but ill agree; Death levels me to beggars, kings to me. Alive, instruction was my work each day; Dead, I persist instruction to convey— Here, reader, mark (perhaps now in thy prime) The stealing steps of never-standing time: Thou'lt be what I am; catch the present hour; Employ that well, for that's within thy power.
SAVANNAH, April 3.
We hear that many of the late reports to the Southward are without foundation. The Indians have committed some murders, and carried off a woman and two children; the woman and one child were however released, and the other child adopted by one of the Indians and carried to the nation, which is supposed to be the reason that the others were sent back unhurt. The last mischief there is a certainty of is the killing a man by the name of Pelcher, and wounding his brother, who is come in with his arm broke. Two or three more such checks as they have met with from Lewis and the party of five, will make them more cautious in their depredations.
We hear the State troops marched last Thursday from the Shoals of Ogéchee for the lower district.
CHARLESTON, April 18.
General Pickens, appointed by the Legislature Commissioner of Indian affairs, and General Matthews, Commissioner for Georgia, have sent Mr. George Whitfield with a talk to the Creek Indians, pointing out the powers of their commissions, demanding to know if they have a disposition to treat and to suspend hostilities, and informing them that in future it will be considered as a war of the union, should they reject their pacific proposal and persevere in their depredations.
Delegates to the State Convention, for Little River District . John Hunter, Samuel Saxon, Thomas Wadsworth, Joshua Saxon, and James Mayson, Esquires.
NEW-YORK, May 9.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Eagles, Jackways, in 20 days from Antigua. The above vessel was bound to this port, from Halifax, but meeting with an uninterrupted succession of bad weather, was blown off the coast, and obliged to bear away for the West-Indies.
By the Betsey, Stonehouse, we have received the Cork Evening Herald, as late as the 31st of March, from which we shall give extracts to-morrow.
By a gentleman, just arrived from St. Kitt's, we are favored with the following articles of intelligence:
April 16th. Six sail of transports, with troops, arrived at St. Kitt's, from England, under the command of Gen. Matthews, Col. Cuyler, &c.
The Lord Hyde Packet, Blight, from Falmouth, with the first March mail, had arrived at Barbadoes, and was expected at St. Kitt's the 16th.
By direct accounts from Falkland Islands, we are informed, that a ship and sloop, belonging to London, in the fishing business, were lately lost there.
The brig Susannah, Stocker, from this Port, is arrived at St. Eustatia; also, the sloop Jersey, Oaky, from Brunswic.
The ship Queen Charlotte, Darling, belonging to Bermuda, arrived at St. Eustatia about the 5th instant, from a whaling voyage, and sailed for Bermuda about the 14th.
The brig Mercury, Burner, from the coast of Barbary, touched at St. Eustatia the 20th, on her way to Jamaica.
The sloop Bell, belonging and bound to New-London, from Cape Francois, after being out 108 days, was drove off the coast, and put into St. Eustatia, with the loss of his mast, where he was obliged to sell the vessel, being unable to proceed on his voyage.
Married, last evening, by the Rev. Doctor Livingston, Mr. PHILIP H. LIVINGSTON, son of Philip Phil. Livingston, Esq. deceased, to Miss MARIA LIVINGSTON, eldest daughter of the Honorable Walter Livingston, of the Manor of Livingston, and one of the Commissioners of the Board of Treasury.
Died yesterday morning, at his lodgings in this city, Mr. ROBERT PATTON, door-keeper to the United States in Con-
gress assembled, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. He was a native of Ireland; in an early stage of life he came to America, and had resided in the United States upwards of sixty years. In May, 1775, his well-known reputation as a man of integrity and patriotism, procured him the appointment under Congress, in which he continued till his death, a period of thirteen years.
To speak of his virtues, he had many; and altho' his sphere of action was not among the distinguished, it was no way unimportant—the many valuable papers constantly committed to his care, requiring great confidence and attention.
The manner in which he executed his trust is well known to those, who had an opportunity of his acquaintance, and the high sense entertained of his services by Congress, who have ordered him a decent funeral, is the best panegyric on his memory.
His funeral is to be to-morrow afternoon, from the house of Mr. Mathers, in Broad-street, near the City-hall; where his friends are requested to attend.
Mr. CHILDS, OBSERVING in your Paper of last Wednesday, a publication, under the New-York head, as an extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kingston, Ulster county, of the 1st instant, wherein the writer observes to his correspondent, "That though the Federalists stand no chance to put in Federal Delegates to the Convention, they are more numerous than imagined;" and that he was "informed that there are at least four districts in favour of the Constitution." I must beg leave to assure you, and the public, that no such assertion can with honor or truth be supported, and the gentleman does well to say that he was so informed, as he never could, from his own knowledge, give his friend here such information; and if the writer of the above extract is an inhabitant of Ulster county, he must well know that no other partyship attended the election than the electors vying with one another who should chuse the most worthy characters, to oppose the adoption of the new proposed Constitution; and that not a single district in the county have held out any other characters. Perhaps the author may blush to find his assertion contradicted, but he will at the same time know it to be
A PLAIN TRUTH.
May 7, 1788. For the gratification of the curious, but more especially for the benefit of the citizens of America, the Printer is induced to insert the following.
Description of, and directions for using the different kinds of COAL TAR and VARNISH, prepared by the British Tar Company, at their works, in Shropshire, Staffordshire, and in Scotland.
Tar, No. 1, with the mark BTC o is in the state it came from the tar kilns, therefore called raw tar , as it has not been deprived, by boiling, of the water with which it is united by the means, or intervention of an alkaline gas. It is more pungent and acrimonious than prepared tar.
There is no other reason for enumerating this kind of tar, unless that on account of its poisonous quality, which it has in a greater degree than boiled or prepared tar, it may be found the most proper for preparing, or soaking the sheathing boards of ships. None of it will in future be sent from the works, unless particularly ordered; lest persons, through mistake, or inattention, should apply it to the uses for which prepared tar is only adapted.
Tar, No. 2, with the mark BTC o , has been freed, by boiling, of the alkaline water; and is of the consistence proper for the first coat to vessels bottoms, or to wood work, into which it penetrates more or less, according to the openness or closeness of the grain. It destroys insects and their eggs, and by poisoning wood to a certain depth, prevents the entrance of those worms which feed on, and lodge in wood. It requires to be warmed before it is used; because it then enters into, or penetrates the wood better, and lays on thinner, than when cold. When Tar is used for a vessel's bottom, it is laid on with a mop, but when applied to other wood work, it is more conveniently, and in a neater manner, done with a painter's brush.
It is positively asserted , in consequence of the fullest experience , that worms will not penetrate wood, when properly impregnated and payed with coal tar; for this purpose, if the vessel's bottom be of fir, nothing more is required than to bream or fire her well, and while the plank is yet hot , to lay on, either raw tar, or tar of the above consistence, which will sink into the then open pores of the wood, and penetrate to a considerable depth. When the seams are caulked, a coat of the half stuff, hereafter described under No. 3, must be laid on. Oak is not of so open a texture as fir, therefore will not imbibe the tar to
such a depth, as may for any length of time prove a preservative against worms. It may be further necessary that oak-bottomed ships be sheathed with white wood fir, soaked or impregnated with tar, No. 1 or No. 2; sheathing thus prepared, will not require to be filled with nails, as in the common way, to prevent the entrance of the worm; no more nails being needed than to hold on the sheathing. A coat of half stuff over all is necessary, as was formerly mentioned. The sheathing nails should be coated, or lacquered over with coal tar. It is done by heating the nails in a wire basket over a stove or blacksmith's fire, and dipping them quickly, while hot, in the tar. As the nails cool, the tar dries on their surface; nails thus prepared are not subject to rust or decay, consequently the sheathing will not need so frequently to be ripped off and renewed. Coal tar has been found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust, for which purpose common vegetable tar does not answer, as it contains an acid that corrodes iron. From the effects of coal tar in defending iron from rust or decay, it is recommended for doing over the shot, and inside of iron guns. It prevents them from scaling. When no proper preservative is used, the windage of the guns must be constantly on the increase; and by the mutual exfoliation of guns and shot, the guns in a few years must become unserviceable.
Tar, No. 3, with the mark BTC o , is of a thicker consistence than No. 2; is better adapted for a second coat to vessels bottoms; or for an outer coat to wood work, and is likewise less liable to be acted on by water, or by the weather, than the two kinds of tar formerly mentioned. When pitch, or stuff of a still thicker consistence is required, either for vessels bottoms or seams, it can easily be prepared by a little further boiling. It is no inconsiderable advantage to carpenters and others, that prepared tar will not swell, or boil over, provided care be had, that no rain or water drop into the stuff while boiling; and that the pitch-kettle be dry and free from moisture.
Tar, No. 3, goes one-third farther in paying a vessel's bottom, &c. &c. than raw, or unprepared vegetable tar; which must be mixed with pitch, or deprived, by boiling, of the water, &c. it contains, before it be fit to be made use of: on which account, coal tar will be found to be as cheap as vegetable tar, exclusive of the superior effects of the former, in preserving wood from decay and worms.
Clear Varnish, with the mark BTC o is CV
similar in color to turpentine varnish, and for some purposes, preferable. It is used for ship's masts, sides, and decks; which, in warm climates, are apt to rent and open by the heat of the sun. The more soft and spongy wood is, the more it takes in of this varnish. Sap, or white wood fir, requires three or four coats to saturate it; after which, to the depth the varnish penetrates, it is greatly more impregnated with resinous matter, than the red wood fir, even equally so, as the resinous knots. It is obvious, that whatever fills the pores of the wood, will prevent its expansion and contraction; on that account the varnish is, in a particular manner, recommended for ship's sides and decks. Clear varnish answers well to mix with certain colors, such as red and yellow ochre, Naples or Flanders yellow. The color and the varnish may be mixed or ground by a small hand-mill, or by a stone and muller. Green of different shades may be made, by a mixture, in different proportions, of indigo and Flanders yellow. The varnish is so apt to set, as the painters call it, with any of the colors prepared from lead, that a skilful hand should be employed, when those colours are made use of. It requires some practice to lay on the varnish neatly; care must be had not to take too much on the brush at a time; and in the finishing strokes, to make the brush go along with the grain of the wood.
Black Varnish, marked BTC o , may ei-
ther be used by itself, or as a second coat or covering to wood; which had been done over with tar, No. 2, or No. 3. It is still of a more glossy appearance, and preserves its gloss longer on exposure to weather, than coal tar. It can be laid on without warming at any season of the year. It is to be preferred to coal tar for blacking ship's yards; because it dries so quick, that sails may be bent in a few hours after paying the yards. It is recommended likewise for mast-heads and tops, timber-heads, rails, bends; or blacking staves, dead eyes, chain-plates, guns, swivels, &c. &c. It may be used as a winter's coat, or covering to ship's sides, laying it over the clear varnish, with which the sides had been payed in the spring. It is necessary that clear varnish always precede the black, in the manner here recommended, otherwise it will be difficult to scrape for bright sides, when
required. Bright sides in the summer, and black in the winter, form a variety suited to the different seasons. Black varnish, (if its color be no objection) may be used for posts, pale and railing, gates, carts, wheelbarrows, sheds, barns, house-roofs, beams, joists, &c. &c. especially for the beam-ends which are built into the house-walls, and which are frequently injured by the dampness of the building. Black varnish is an equally good preservative of iron, as coal tar. The best season for laying on the tar or varnish, is in the spring and summer, but they may be used at any time, provided the wood be dry, it be fair above, and the air in a state of taking up moisture, commonly called a drying wind.
The public are cautioned not to mix red ochre, red or white lead, tallow, oil, or any other substance, with coal tar, as, from repeated trials, by persons who would not conform to the directions here given, they have been found to injure its quality.
Orders addressed to George Glenny , at the British Tar Company's Office, Wallbrook, London , to the Clerk of the Works at Brosely, Shropshire , or to Mr. M c Adam , at Ayr, in Scotland , will be duly attended to. It is requested that persons who have made use of the coal tar of the varnish, and have conformed to the directions here given, will take the trouble to communicate to the company, their remarks on their effects in preserving wood or iron; and in defending vessel's bottoms from the worms. It being intended soon, to give to the public, an account of such trials as have been made, and communicated to the company, since the date of a small publication of the same sort in Scotland, March 1784.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK.
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE , at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's.
He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (designated by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join an unlimited assiduity to the palm, and down in the following propositions, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city.
1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street , to effect the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.
The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply.
Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next.

MONTMORIN . THIS Town, laid out at the solicitation of seve- ral Gentlemen, is delightfully situated on the north bank of the Ohio river, on a beautiful plain that is not liable to be overflowed, in a healthy and fertile country, about 18 miles below Fort Pitt, on the road to Fort M'Intosh, in Westmoreland county, in the State of Pennsylvania, and at the ancient settle- ment formerly called Logstown , which was abandon- ed previous to the peace of 1763, where an extensive trade was carried on many years.
MONTMORIN commands an extensive view of the river; the soil is equal to any on the Ohio, and a- bounds in coal; the navigation from thence down the river is superior to that of Fort Pitt, as the wa- ter is at all seasons much deeper at this place, and where provisions, boats, &c. may in a little time be as well furnished. It is on the great communi- cation or route from the Eastern and middle States to the Muskimgum , Miami and Kentucky settle- ments; as well as the Illinois , Mississippi , &c. and will probably become the new country seat: the great emigrations to the Western country render it a very desirable spot, and afford a flattering prospect of its speedy establishment. The streets are spacious be- ing all 66 feet wide; except Great George , Wash- ington , Hancock and Clinton -streets, which are 90 feet; the squares are divided into 20 lots, from 44 to 49 feet front, and 220 feet in depth, and all the lots are accommodated with lanes. Five squares, or 100 lots, as distinguished in the plan, will be vetted in suites for public use, and to accommodate schools and religious societies of every denomination. The town lots will be numbered, and arranged by draught to prevent any kind of preference; and to facilitate the settlement, they will be sold at the moderate price of TEN DOLLARS each, to be paid on the de- livery of certificates of purchase. Those who buy ten town lots, will be entitled to a five acre outlot, gratis.
The appropriation of the lots will be made under the superintendence or direction of the Honorable Thomas M'Kean , Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, Gen. Muhlenburgh and Heister , Matthew Clarkson and Richard Bache , Esqrs. on or before the first of June next; after which, on application, indisputa- ble titles in fee simple, agreeably to the said appro- priation, will be delivered gratis to the purchasers, their agents or attorneys. Certificates for lots sold and the plan of the town to be seen at the house of Mr. Levi Hollingsworth , Mr. Mark Wilcox , Mr. Thomas Bradford , and at the Coffee-House , Philadel- phia; Mr. John Delafield , New-York; General Heister , Reading; John Hubley , Esq.

"In this day's march the army passed through Logstown , situated seventeen and a half miles fifty-seven perches, by the path, from Fort Pitt. This place was noted before the last war, for the great trade carried on there by the Eng- lish and French; but its inhabitants, the Shawanese and Delawares, abandoned it in the year 1750. The lower town extended about 60 perches over a rich bottom to the foot of a low steep ridge; on the summit of which, near the declivity, stood the up- per town, commanding a most agreeable prospect over the lower, and quite across the Ohio, which is about 500 yards wide here, and by its majestic easy current adds much to the beauty of the place. Pro- ceeding beyond Logstown we passed through a fine country, &c."
