BOSTON, October 13
By a gentleman from Berwick, we are informed that the following unhappy transaction took place there on Tuesday evening last:— Capt. William Morris of that town, 2 or 3 years since, hired a small sum of money of Dr. Green of Dover: The doctor, the winter before last, had been damaging Morris for the money; Morris put him off so often, that he was obliged to sue him; accordingly he was taken some time that winter, by a single writ. Morris being unable to satisfy the demand, was obliged to give bail. Mr. Jonathan Rawson of Dover, backed the writ for him a few months ago. The money not being paid, Mr. Rawson was sued, and had an execution out against him, but being unwilling to pay it, he went over to Berwick, to see Capt. Morris, and took with him one Major Wood, a sheriff of that town. Captain Morris just before had been out a gunning, but was then returned, and was setting with his wife. As soon as they had set down, Mr. Rawson let him know his business. Capt. Morris said he was unable to pay the money, and finally declared he would not pay it. Mr. Rawson then gave the execution to Major Wood, and told him, he must make him secure upon the furniture that was then in the house. Morris then jumped up, and said, d—n you, you want furniture, do you, I have a very pretty piece which I'll give you. He then ran into another room, and brought his gun (they all three heard him cock the gun as he was coming in) on entering, he presented it to Mr. Rawson's breast; Mr. Rawson put out his hand to push the gun from him, just as Morris's wife stepped up to interfere; the gun went off, passed Mr. Rawson, and shot Mrs. Morris; the charge went into her body, just back of her ribs, and lodged against her back bone; fortunately she had put on that morning, a stout new pair of stays, which very probably saved her life, for she was so near as to have all the shot, wadding, and a large quantity of powder, in her body. Doctor Hall Jackson was sent for immediately, and, after dressing the wound, pronounced it not mortal. The worst symptom she has, is coughing up at different times, some considerable quantities of blood.
It is hoped, says a correspondent, that at the next meeting of our general court, every member of that honorable body will be present, as matters of the highest importance must at that time attract their attention. The appointing of Federal Legislators, will not be the most inconsiderable part of their business; and on this occasion, (in the words of the celebrated Mr. Wilton), let no one say he is but a single member, that his vote is but one in the box. One vote may turn the election. In battle, every soldier should consider the public safety as depending upon his single arm; at an election, every member should consider the public safety as depending upon his single vote.
PROVIDENCE, Oct. 9.
Yesterday morning, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock, the town was alarmed with the cry of fire. It was found to be in a large dwelling house belonging to John Brown, Esq. at the south end of the town. The fire had got to a great height before it was discovered, inasmuch that of four families, tenants to Mr. Brown, in the house, consisting of twenty souls, scarce one of them escaped with anything but their shirts. One young man jumped out of a garret window, between 20 and thirty feet high, and is considerably bruised; another came down the back stairs through the room where the fire was supposed to have begun, and was badly burnt; but they are both likely to do well. Scarce an article of the household furniture was saved. By the activity of the inhabitants, which is conspicuous on every such occasion, with the assistance of the engines, two houses which stood about 40 feet from the one burnt, were saved. While we regret, with Mr. Brown, the loss of a valuable house, we must sincerely sympathize with the unfortunate families who have lost their all—and hope those who have of this world's goods, and see their brethren in need, will not withhold them.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 18.
On Wednesday the 8th instant, the Convention of the Presbyterian churches in America, consisting of clerical and lay delegates, from the Synod of New-York and Philadelphia—from the Reformed Protestant Dutch Synod—and from the Associate Reformed Synod,—met in this city; and having transected their business in great peace and harmony, adjourned to meet again the next year.
Yesterday arrived the ship Lookout, Swain, from Turks Island, last from Virginia, in 40 days.
A letter from a gentleman at Edinburgh, to his friend in this city, furnishes us with the following paragraphs.
The late great failures in this country may be attributed to the immense profits made in the cotton and other manufactures. The establishment of water mills for the making of cotton was original in Great-Britain. Their cheapness and quality created an extensive demand, and the trade became exceedingly lucrative. Too many were induced, by the prospect of rapidly making their fortunes to engage in the business. No less than a hundred and fifty mills, and ten times the number of hand jennies were going on in Great-Britain. The French and Irish also begun to erect water mills, and one was established at Ostend. In consequence the markets were greatly overstocked, and the trade lies confined to Great-Britain. Our manufacturers and merchants found themselves deeply involved. The following statement of the value of the manufacture in Great-Britain will shew you its annual progress.
In 1781, — £. 2,000,000 1782, — 3,900,000 1783, — 3,200,000 1784, — 3,950,000 1785, — 6,950,000 1786, — 6,500,000 1787, — 7,500,000
In 1788 the manufacture was much less productive, but it has in some measure regained its former vigour.
The Irish have made amazing progress in manufactures since the protecting duties
Train oil has been used instead of tallow, by our soap-boilers, and found to answer.
It is very common to export coaches from Leigh to Spain.—Why might not this trade be improved by Philadelphia and New-York.
The embarrassments and misery of the United States, are here a very popular topic, and are represented throughout Great Britain in the highest colors. Every thing is exaggerated and every pains taken to make you appear contemptible. I am well informed that Mr. Donaldson, printer of the Edinburgh Advertiser, has a pension of 300l. from government for these purposes.
The design is to prevent manufacturers and other useful people from emigrating. His paper has an extensive circulation, and is perpetually filled with false accounts the most unfavorable to your character, commerce, politics, and the state of your country.
Extract from the Journal of Congress.
WEDNESDAY, October 1, 1788.
On motion of Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Williamson;
Resolved, That the board of treasury be, and they hereby are directed no longer to delay taking measures for immediately cancelling all the public securities now in the treasury paid in discharge of debts due to the United States, by causing a part of the same to be cut out and destroyed in such a manner as to leave the number, amount and names of the persons signing the same, and the person to whom given, and in like manner from time to time to cancel all others when paid into the treasury, in order that such securities may be inspected by and finally destroyed in the presence of a committee of Congress, to be appointed for that purpose at such time as Congress shall direct; and also that the said board take immediate measures for cancelling all the certificates liquidated and taken up by the commissioners in the several states or in any of the public offices, so as to prevent their being fraudulently put in circulation preserving the last mentioned certificates to be charged in account against the respective officers who issued the same.

To the PRINTER.
IN your Advertiser for Saturday, I find a non-sensical piece written by a person who makes use of the signature of Lexiphanes; an attempt to criticise upon some publications written by a gentleman of the name of Micheau, who I have not the honor to know. His dissertation on Hellenia Humoralis I have read, and no withstanding there are some errata, which I have reason to believe typographical, the work is a good practical one, acknowledged to be so by all my medical friends, and as such deserving of eulogium; and I flatter myself will stand the test of any future eucharistical dehomination performance of Dr. S. or any of his condiscipuli. I have been very plain in charging him with this masterly production; we are confident he or some other triturator of jargon is the author. Oct. 15.
From the CONNECTICUT GAZETTE.
We communicate the following to our readers in the form it was received.
Bite of a Red Snake.
Sturminster, September 5, 1798.
Mr. W. Baker's family, in this place, living near Billing's Pond, was this evening suddenly surprised by Red Snake, which had entered their house, and made its first appearance in a cull, in the chimney-corner. Mr. Baker's wife supposing it to be only a house snake of a prodigious size, had the courage to seize it with the tongs, in order to destroy it in the fire; but the snake was so strong he made his escape, and took shelter behind the back-log, until the heat drove him from thence, when in an active manner he advanced into the middle of the room, and then took shelter under a kettle just taken from the fire, containing their children's supper. Mrs. Baker having a cloth in her hand, made an attempt to catch the snake in her hands, with the cloth; but upon her advancing near him, he suddenly sprang forth, and bit her right hand in three places. The snake after doing this execution, again advanced into the room and made one among the family; on which Mr. Baker was so exasperated against the serpent for biting his wife, that he gave him a kick with his bare foot into the fire; but the snake not content with its situation, immediately advanced again into the room; on which Mrs. Baker's sister seized it with the tongs and held it under the fore-dick, until by the operation of the fire the snake grew more tame; then putting him out of the house, the woman bruised the serpent's head. This snake was upwards of three feet in length, and about the bigness of a common chair-post. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening when Mrs. Baker was bit; but the family being ignorant that it was a poisonous serpent,
neglected to seek for immediate relief. The manner in which the poison operated was as follows:—
Mrs. Baker within ten minutes grew very sick, and about midnight was taken with vomiting, and she began to swell, so that within a short time her arm became as big as a man's thigh; her breast also much swelled, and her flesh became spotted resembling the colour of the snake. At length it was concluded that it must have been a red snake that had bit her; a neighbour was called on to view the dead snake, and finding their supposition to be true, a physician was applied to; but by this time it was near day-light. Mrs. Baker's situation at first appeared to be very dangerous, but by the blessing of God attending the skillfulness of the physician, she is now in a hopeful way to recover. The reason why the poison did not prove fatal, through their delay in seeking relief, is supposed to be owing to her being bit through the cloth, which shielded much of the poison from her hand. However, it is hoped Mrs. Baker's misfortune may prove a caution to others not to play with a snake.

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 Tuijl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one played 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 played 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 sound 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 Tuijl, Stephen Grosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.
