Anecdote.—From Richbeck's Travels through Germany.
The castle of Werfen, ne Ratzburg, stands by the foot of this name, where the valley begins to widen remarkably, upon a detached rock of a conical form, which rises in the middle of the gully. On one side of it there is scarcely room for the road, and on the other scarcely room for the river. The front of the castle commands a prospect over the wide part of the valley, which runs between hills, part of which are well cultivated, and part covered with rich woods; and from the back you see the narrow deep gully, through which the traveller has come, the rocky points of which are shining in the sun, while in the depth below perpetual darkness sits encamped. In the castle many prisoners are confined, who are sometimes obliged to work in chains. I was struck peculiarly with the form and countenance of a man, of whom I had already heard much reported. He has the figure of a handsome elderly man, of something more than sixty years, who still preserves a fine ruddy complexion. His strong, long beard, and beautiful black hair, are here and there mixed with grey, very thinly scattered. His carriage is as light, and he holds himself as straight as a youth in his full strength. His forehead and the whole formation of his countenance is regular, and his large blue speaking eyes, must fix the attention of any one the least acquainted with mankind upon him. An inexpressible serenity of soul, and the pride inseparable from a great character, are pictured in his countenance. I desired to hear him tell his history, and now give it you from his own words, as near as I can:—
'I have been now, said he, twenty-four years a prisoner here. I still remember the emigration of the many thousands of my countrymen, in which, though I was then but young, I took great concern. As I grew up, the memory of this event made the strongest impression on me. The joy with which so many of my neighbours quitted their native country, to shun any force on their consciences, and be unrestrained and free in their faith, had something great and affecting in it to me. This made the remonstrances of my friends and acquaintances, who did not agree in opinion with the capuchins, find an easy access to my mind. I opened the Scriptures, compared the doctrine I met with there with the pope's, and formed my own religion, the principles of which I did not keep very secret, because I believed them true. As at that time the capuchins, who wandered about the whole country, as missionaries, had spies every where; they could not fail but hear at last of some assertions which escaped me in the heat of religious dispute. They instantly pursued and persecuted me wherever I was. At last they came into my house, and insisted on a confession of my faith. I answered according to my conviction, and laid my doubts before them; however, this did not signify. They constantly went from the point; it was of no avail to interrogate them on matters of faith; faith must be implicit, and I must deliver a confession of faith. I told them it was utterly impossible to believe what was contrary to the conviction of my mind; but all did not serve.'
'When I saw that they could not convince me, and that they paid no regard to my internal conviction, I told them to leave me in peace, and staked my honor and my life to them, that I would conceal my religious opinions, nor make any converts to them. This was in vain; every day they rudely broke into my house, and pressed me to a confession of faith which belied my conscience. Sir, I did all that was possible to obtain peace from them, but it was impossible. One day, as I returned fatigued from the field, and was going to refresh myself with some provision, the capuchins came again riotously into my house. I had for some time before this, resolved not to say a word to them, except good day or good evening. As they began their old clamor again, I heard them a long time composed and quiet, and took my fare with better relish the more they cursed me. However, as there appeared to be no end of it, I retired into a corner behind the oven, to let them rail as long as they pleased. But even there I was not secure: at last I threw myself impatiently on the bed, and as one of them approached me even here, and dunned in my ears, I turned my back to him; but immediately there was another of them at the other side, who made a still more horrid clack than his companion. At last I became enraged, and told them I was master in my own house; and as they continued still to behave worse and worse, I sprung up, seized the first thing I could lay hold of, which I believe was a broom, and beat them out of my house. I was now treated not only as an obdurate heretic, but as a blasphemer, who had laid sacrilegious hands upon the holy priests. They took me prisoner, and brought me here in chains. At first I suffered dreadfully: A hundred times I said, if they would only convince me, I would confess with heart and soul. But it was all to no purpose. They endeavored to force me to go into the church to confess, to reveal my opinions on religion, &c. I told them I could publish nothing further of my religion, than that I did not believe what they believed. They either would or could not convince me, and I then became impatient to go to the church, but they told me I could not be permitted, unless it was for the purpose of changing my faith, and confessing my errors. The incessant importunity of the capuchins for a confession of faith from me, was the most insufferable of all. All my solicitations to be indulged, and all my remonstrances of the futility of a verbal confession, unless the heart joined in it, were of no service. At last I resolved to behave like a mute, and hold no more discourse with them; which resolution, for eighteen whole years, I have literally persisted in; a few years ago they began to treat me more kindly, and since that time I have returned my speech.'
The constable confirmed to us, that this extraordinary man had not uttered a syllable for eighteen whole years; and that during that time no one had ever seen a cloud upon his brow, or a feature of ill-humor in his countenance. Who ever was enjoined him to do, which did not conceal religion, he complied with calmly and cheerfully. A slight cast of disdain of the people about him is all that has been remarked. When one confesses that his cleanness of head, his open nature, and good humor, must very naturally and very strongly dispose him to society and the communication of his sentiments, his voluntary dumbness must appear astonishing. By his good behavior during his captivity, he has induced the prince, who is a great lover of toleration, to let his chains be taken off, and at the request of the constable, a considerable addition has been made to his daily allowance. He has gained so much confidence, that they have made him a kind of superintendent over his fellow-prisoners. He has often been sent, entirely loose and free, to work with them at places from whence it would have been easy for him to have escaped; but his character is a better security for his person than the strongest chains. He has procured to himself, without being sensible of it, so much respect from his brother captives, that with a single word he can keep them better in awe than the jailer with his staff. Nature has secured to him a superiority over the multitude of mankind, altho' the bred him in a cottage. His leisure hours are at present employed in teaching a young incendiary, who has lain for some years in prison, in chains, for wickedly setting fire to his father's house, to read and to write, without however insinuating into him any of his religious opinions. These he preserves so secret at present, that I could not with the most confidential entreaties and all my prayers and petitions, obtain any disclosure from him. All he answered was, 'I do not believe what the capuchins believe, and I want nothing but a bible to lead a contented life.'
Some years ago his wife was permitted to see him; but without showing the smallest desire to enjoy her, after some warm and kind exhortations for her welfare, he dismissed her. A bible, after which his soul thirsts so ardently, they are backward to allow him, because they are unwilling to add any more flame to his enthusiasm. All the Salzbourg ladies and gentlemen, in whose company I had the honor of seeing him, discovered the highest respect for him; but they were all unanimous in declaring, that it had not been very political conduct, to become a martyr for so small a matter as was demanded of him.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25.
It is highly proper, says a correspondent, that the people of the United States, who have immense forests to clear, should establish glass manufactures, and increase them as much as possible. The labour employed to destroy the woods, for the clearing of lands, at the same time that it disposes the land to culture, will serve for the productions of a very extensive object of manufacture; therefore the utility of this destruction is of double advantage. It cannot be doubted, adds our correspondent, but that we shall one day be able to furnish Europe with glass-ware.
H I N T S.
The present trade laws of France permit coal to be carried from America to their free ports in the West-Indies. The Virginia pits supply it at seven-pence sterling per bushel.
The large sugar ships from France going to Virginia with salt, &c. might take out coal, lumber, &c. to their islands, in a little more time than they employ in the passage from France to the islands.
The people in some parts of Europe wear stockings made of the sheepskin and buckskin; and in other parts they wear waistcoats of skins dressed in the hair.
The manufacturers of Philadelphia would find great advantage from publishing "A manufacturers directory for the city of Philadelphia," containing their names, places of abode, branches of business, &c. to be circulated throughout the union, from which the merchants and others who order goods from Philadelphia, might see the trades carried on, and with what they could be supplied. It should be formed thus, perhaps:
 A. B. Plane-maker, Front-street, &c.  C. D. Plane-iron maker, &c.  E. F. Pit, mill, and hand saw maker, &c.  G. H. Thread, cotton and worsted stocking, cap and glove weaver, &c.  I. K. File maker, &c.  L. M. Iron roller and cutter, &c.  N. O. Glue and parchment maker, &c.  P. Q. Calico printer, &c.  R. S. Potter, &c.  T. V. Snuff and mustard maker, &c.  W. X. Paper maker, &c.  Y. Z. Leather breeches maker and glover, &c.  And so of all others. We already make many articles, of which half our own citizens are ignorant, and new ones are introduced every month. This directory should therefore be printed annually.

NOTIFICATION.
By Order of the Recorder and Aldermen. The citizens are informed that the Act of the Legislature for the more effectual prevention of FIRES in the city of New-York, passed the 22d day of April, 1786, will be put into STRICT EXECUTION.
By this law, any person of what age, sex or quality soever, who shall discharge any gun, pistol, rock-cracker, squib or other fire-work, in this city, shall forfeit the penalty of twenty shillings for every offence.
The danger to which the houses, property and persons of the citizens have been exposed by disorders of this nature, especially in the New-Year Holy Days, render an obedience to this law indispensably necessary to the public safety; wherefore the constables, marshals, and watchmen of this city, are required to be vigilant in the execution thereof; and it is hoped that the good citizens will exert themselves in restraining their children, apprentices and servants, from offending against the same.

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by
Charles Wilkes,
No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788.
WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf.
That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them: The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down.
From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

PROVED fully (even in this city) to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease, to be had only at No. 70, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street.
The terms of (no cure no pay) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced its virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch or its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and asserted to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour. Sept. 25.
Mutual Assurance Company of the City New-York,
For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE.
THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety.
Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens; in short, who will do well to consider that if they neglect taking of the till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person; that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility.
The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a tenfold diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party walls carries twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3f. deposit, 12f. total, 15f.
SECOND RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4f. deposit, 16f. total, 20f.
THIRD RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5f. deposit, 17f. total, 22f.
FOURTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6f. deposit, 17f. total, 23f.
FIFTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all framed houses, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7f. deposit, 17f. total, 24f.
SIXTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8f. deposit, 17f. total, 25f.
SEVENTH RATE.
That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10f. deposit, 27f. total, 37f.
The expense therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows:—
Premium on £. 500 at 7f. per cent. £. 1 15 0 Deposit, at 28f. per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £. 9 5 0
If the amount of the premiums is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0 £. 2 5 0
Which shews the expense of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing a sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, shipchandlers, tallowchandlers, stable-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-rollers, oil or coal-merchants; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street.
December 2, 1788. 1M.
