To an UNFORTUNATE BEAUTY. By the Facious PETER PINDAR.
S AY, lovely Maid, with downcast eye, And cheek with silent sorrow pale; What gives thy heart the lengthen'd sigh, That heaving tells a mournful tale?  Thy tears, which thus each other chase, Bespeak a break o'whelm'd with woe; Thy sigh, a storm that wrecks my peace, Which souls like thine should never know.  Oh! tell me, doth some favour'd youth, Too often bless, thy beauties flight? And leave those thrones of love and truth, That lip and bosom of delight?  What though to other nymphs he flies, And feigns the fond impas'sion'd tear; Breathes all the eloquence of sighs, That treach'rous won thy artist's ear!  Let not those nymphs thy anguish move, For whom his heart may seem to pine— That heart shall ne'er be blest by Love, Whose guilt can force a pang from thine.
MIDDLETON, Sept. 1.
The New Goal in this City has been examined and accepted by the Hon. County Court, as being suitable for the purpose designed.
The public are hereby notified that the lantern, on the Light-House, near the port of New-London, will be taken down on the 8th of September next (it being decayed) which will occasion a stoppage of the usual light till the 14th of the same month.—It is regretted that no light can be kept during this period, which may be depended on; and particularly that it has been impossible to give notice of the time before.
CARLISLE, (Pennsylvania,) Aug. 20.
When the late war ceased, the reduced price of British goods which were offered at market, produced a general relaxation of industry. A great deal of specie was then in this country. The farmers purchased not only sumptuary articles for their families unknown to former times, but they supplied themselves from the stores with coarse foreign linen, and coarse woolens, which had hitherto been manufactured at home. It is not to be wondered at then, if all commerce is now languishing, and almost extinct from the want of a circulating medium.
Aug. 27. The linen manufacture is rapidly improving in this country, many industrious people are supplying themselves at the stores with necessaries for their families in exchange for linen cloth, others are paying debts from the fruits of their labor in that branch. This article promises to be a valuable remittance to Baltimore, as a great deal of coarse cloth is wanted in that state for the clothing of their negroes.—It is to be hoped that some linen will soon be manufactured fit for wear in families, and thus make any importation of that article from any foreign place altogether unnecessary.
Our farmers are showing a laudable emulation, in increasing their flock of sheep. This circumstance has caused mutton to be scarce and dear at our market for some time past. But this inconvenience will soon be amply repaid by the improvement of the woolen branch of manufacturers.
PHILADELPHIA, September 5.
Whatever has a tendency to enlarge the sphere of human action, deserves the fostering care of every enlightened state. It is therefore with pleasure we inform the lovers of science and the useful arts, that the ingenious Mr. Rumsey, who is now in Europe soliciting exclusive rights for his several inventions and improvements, has been honored with the esteem and support of gentlemen in England of distinguished reputation in the scientific world. We rejoice the more at these marks of attention to American genius, as they go far to prove the worth of Mr. Rumsey's talents, and afford an happy preface of honor and advantage to his native country.
Among the objects which have successfully engaged the abilities of this ingenious man are the following:
1. A Boat, or Vessel, acted on by steam, and propelled by forcing the water through a wooden trunk, or pipe, laid on the keelson. This boat requires neither masts, rigging, sails, oars, cranes or paddles, and has been actually propelled, with half its loading on board, four miles an hour, against the current of the Potomac river. It is light and simple, and may be built at a moderate expence. Where the rivers, like many in America, are unaided by the tides, and have rapid currents, the construction will appear to be singularly useful, by performing the passage in a given time, reducing the freight of goods, and promoting intercourse among the citizens in a convenient, cheap, and easy manner.
2. A new invented Saw-Mill, moved without wheels of any kind; requiring but about the twentieth part of the water used for a common saw-mill, and which may be supplied either from a stream, a pond, or a well.—It is cheap and powerful.
3. A new boiler, for generating steam in the most convenient manner, for nautical, mechanical, and hydraulic purposes. This is confessedly superior to any hitherto discovered and may be applied to most kinds of mills and machines, at a comparatively trifling expence.
4. An improvement of Savery's admired mode of raising and conducting water.—Of important utility in agriculture and certain manufactures.
5. An improvement on Dr. Barker's Mill. Dr. Barker was a Fellow of the Royal Society in London, and near half a century ago first suggested the principles of this machine; but he was never able to perfect it; being examined with anxious, yet fruitless solicitude, for its completion, by many learned societies in Europe, the plan was at length abandoned to the books alone as a monument of the Doctor's ingenuity; till lately, when the genius of a Rumsey discovered the right application of its principles. The mechanism of this mill is beautifully simple—the principles are strictly philosophical—and its powers are uncommonly great. A third, or fourth part of the water now ordinarily required to turn a grit mill, is sufficient, by this mode of applying its weight and force, to turn any grit-mill, or other machine, requiring the truest circular motion. The same powers will equally well apply to grits, saw, sugar, and most other mill—to rice machines, indigo works, and cotton gins. The water for this mill may be taken either from a natural stream, pond, or well.
Models of the Boiler, Water-works and Mills, are now in this city; and we learn with pleasure, that the latter have repeatedly performed to the admiration and entire satisfaction of many respectable characters who attended the experiments.
Northampton, in Bucks County, 16th August, 1788.
SIR, FOR the information of the Philadelphia Society for promoting Agriculture, I communicate to you the success I have experienced this summer, of an experiment made to evade the destructive effects of the insect, commonly called the Hessian Fly .
About the middle of September last, I sowed one bushel of the yellow bearded oat , which I had procured from an Island, on part of a piece of ground which had been manured with lime and dung, and had yielded a crop of Indian corn and one of flax. The quantity of ground occupied with this wheat, was one acre, one quarter, and fifteen perches, the produce of which was somewhat over thirty bushels of clean wheat, equal to about twenty-four bushels to the acre, whilst the ground adjoining, of the same quality, produced about eight bushels to the acre of the common wheat.
The bearded wheat as well as the other kind had been much injured by the severity of the winter, so that many roots were entirely destroyed; yet what remained in the spring, grew up as wheat used to do, and did not appear to be injured by the fly, or anywise obstructed in its growth. The common wheat adjoining, from the luxuriance of the soil, and uncommon fertility of the season, appeared struggling hard to get forward, but the bug so impeded its growth, that apparently, not more than one third of its original stalks could come to perfection; and of those great part dragged down before harvest, so as to render its gathering extremely difficult.
From the success of this experiment, and many others of the same kind made in my neighbourhood, I am fully convinced, that the yellow bearded oats , notwithstanding this destructive insect, may be raised to great perfection upon good land, provided it can be preferred in the fall.
This wheat, during the fall, and in its tender state, does not appear to be more secure against the fly than any other kind, and as we have not yet discovered, any certain method, whereby to render it offensive to the insect in that state, it will be necessary that the farmer be not only attentive to the improvement of his soil, but that the grain be sowed late in the fall, or not until the fly disappears.
With the greatest esteem, I am Your very humble servant, HENRY WYNKOOP.
SAMUEL POWELL, Esq. President of the Agricultural Society.
FREDERICKSBURG, August 28.
On Sunday night the 17th inst. a most daring murder and robbery was committed on the body of a travelling man at the lower end of Orange county. It appeared from corroborating evidence, at the coroner's inquest, that the deceased called at the house of Thomas Brightwell, and asked for something to eat and drink; and as they could not give him change for a guinea, he gave them a pair of buckles for his expenses. He was shot about a hundred yards from the house, and lived till the next day. He said that immediately upon his being shot, three or four persons rummaged his pockets and robbed him of his money. He was a young man about 22 years of age, very well dressed, handsome and well made; said his name was Johnson, and that he was a citizen of New-York. His linen was marked E. D.
Thomas Brightwell, and the person who shot him, are apprehended and committed to goal; some others, equally guilty, it is hoped will find their way there, and meet the fate they justly deserve.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 6.
On Friday arrived the sloop Industry , Dunh, from Wilmington, N. C. in 10 days.
And on Saturday arrived the Schooner Two Brothers , Wallace, from Baltimore, in 5 days—and sloop Ann , Cotton, from Wilmington, N. C. in 8 days.
A London paper says—“Amongst the numerous and valuable curiosities collected by Mr. John Hunter, and preserved in his Museum, there is none greater than his collection of skulls. There is a regular and continued gradation of these from the most imperfect of the animal, to the most perfect of the human species. The most perfect human skull is the European; the most imperfect of this species is the negro. The European, the negro, and the monkey, form a regular series. Mr. Hunter facetiously observed, that, in placing the negro above the monkey, great honor was due to him; for although a man, he could hardly be called a brother. He also remarked, that our first parents, Adam and Eve, were indubitably black.—This is quite a new idea; but Mr. Hunter observed, it might be proved without difficulty. Of the human skeletons, of which there are many, the most remarkable, is that of the Irish Giant, who formerly exhibited in Spring Gardens. For this body, Mr. Hunter paid the extraordinary price of 150 guineas.”
ACCOUNT of the REJOICINGS in the City of ALBANY, on Friday the 8th ult. (Concluded from Saturday's paper.)
Captains of Vessels, Preceded by Capt. Philip Lansing , carrying a Flag of blue silk, on which was a sloop without sails motto, God sends sails . Merchants and Traders, with their Clerks, Apprentices, &c.
Preceded by Mr. James Cuyler , carrying a large white Flag; in an ecutchon, one ship inward, and another outward bound—supported by two sheaves of wheat—crest a sheaf of wheat, all proper—motto, May our exports exceed our imports . The Corporations of the Dutch, Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches, preceded by the Clergy. Sheriff and his Deputies, with white wands. Constables, with their Raves.
Grand-Jury. Members of the Corporation. Judges and Justices of the Common Pleas. The Chancellor. Gentlemen of the bar, in gowns, followed by their Students. Schoolmasters followed by their Scholars. Surveyor-General. Adjutant-General, and Officers of Militia, in complete uniform.
Physicians and Students. Detachment of Artillery, commanded by Captain-Lieutenant Hall —the Standard blue silk, on which was a field piece, mortar and burning shell. The Procession moved, with the greatest regularity through Water Vleit-street, Market-street and State-street, to
THE FEDERAL BOWER; which the van reached at half past twelve o'clock announced by the firing of a gun.
This edifice made an highly elegant appearance. It was erected on the most advantageous part of the heights west of Fort-Frederic; commanding the most extended prospect of any situation near the city; and when the flags of the respective divisions were displayed on its battlements, that of the United States on the centre, that of this State on the right, and the Farmer's on the left, the coup d'oeil was extremely pleasing.
The edifice was 154 feet in length and 44 in breadth, and was raised upon 4 rows of pillars, 15 feet in height, which were close wreathed with foliage, and composed eleven arches in front.
From the architecture, which was clothed with verdant branches, its tons of foliage were suspended, which crossed the arches; above the centre of which, were white oval medallions, with the name of a satisfying State on each. The centre arch, on the medallion of which was inscribed NEW-YORK, projected some feet before the rest, and with an elegantly finished pediment, formed a graceful portion to the building. The superstructure of this arch, was ornamented in high style, with wreaths and festoons of foliage. On the summit of its pediment, immediately under the flag of the United States, was placed “the American Eagle,” in carved work, charged with the arms of the United States on its breast, with an olive branch in its dexter, and a bundle of thirteen arrows in its sinister.—Beneath it, in the centre of the pediment, was the crest of the State, also in carved work; and immediately above the arch was the orchestra. Pediments were also raised on the extreme arches of the edifice, and in such a proportion of height and ornament, as to compleat the symmetry of the whole.
When the Procession had drawn up in a line, at the rear of the bower, the company marched off, in regular divisions, to the tables, which were plentifully covered with substantial American cheer; handsomely arranged under the direction of Mr. William Van Ingen . And, though the tables, which were eleven in number, placed across the colonnade, in a line with the arches, were by no means sufficient for the company, which in its number far exceeded the expectations of the warmest-favours of the procession, yet, so lively was the pleasurable spirit of accommodation, so general the wish to diffuse satisfaction, that no inconvenience was felt or complained of by any.
After dinner, the following toasts were drank, each honoured with the discharge of eleven guns.
1. The United States. 2. The States which have ratified the New Constitution. 3. The late Convention of this State. 4. The Eleventh Pillar in the Federal Edifice. 5. General Washington. 6. The friendly powers of Europe. 7. Agriculture and Commerce. 8. American Manufactures. 9. Inland Navigation, and the Fur Trade restored. 10. The memory of those heroes who have fallen in defence of American liberty. 11. Concord and confidence at home, and respectability abroad. 12. May virtue, patriotism and harmony prevail, and discord be banished from all American councils. 13. May the Union of the States be perpetual.
A gun was then fired, as a signal for again forming the Procession, which was done with the utmost regularity and dispatch. The route then taken, was down State-street into Pearl-street, and through it, Columbia-street, Market-street and Court-street, into the spacious pasture south of Fort Orange; where the whole formed a semi-circle. After eleven guns had been fired from the fort, answered by three cheers from the whole, the respective divisions marched off, at intervals, and as they passed the fort, received the salute of a single gun, which they returned with three cheers. Thus was the whole dispersed, by degrees, in such order and quiet, that had a stranger, arrived in the city before six o'clock, his observation could never have suggested to him, that there had been any publick meeting, however trifling.
Indeed, it would be injustice to the citizens at large to withhold the strongest commendation of that tranquility and order, which universally prevailed throughout the day, and of that ingenuity and attention, which were conspicuous in every department of the Procession. It would be injustice to the elegant taste of the gentlemen who planned the bower, not to be lavish in a description of its appearance—to Gen. Schuyler , not to describe the heart-felt satisfaction which he plainly appeared to give, when he rode down the line of Procession, immediately before moving, and harangued every part of it, on the propriety of maintaining peace and order—to James Fairlie, Esq. ; Marshall of the Procession, and his Assistants Meissrs. Thomas L. Witbeck, Casparus Hruson, John Cuyler, jun. & John Blecker , not to pay the compliments justly merited by their skillful management—and to Mr. William Van Ingen , not to make those acknowledgements which his services demanded—but they would appear to be the exaggerated language of panegyric, to all but those who had opportunity to judge of their propriety—and those would certainly have been ready to acknowledge that they felt it. Let it be sufficient to add, that the whole was conducted with a display of order, ingenuity and happiness, that far outwent expectation, and challenged the astonished admiration and the pleasing sensation of every unprejudiced spectator.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY WILLIAM SMALLWOOD, Esq. GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, I have been well informed, that John Calahan, late of Queen Anne's county, was, on the 6th of this instant, August, murdered: And whereas I have good reason to believe the above murder was committed by a certain EDWARD ALDRIDGE, alias LEG, who made his escape from Queen Anne's county gaol, a few days before the murder was perpetrated, and was lurking in the neighbourhood until the night of Callahan's decease; he then stole a small bay horse and departed. He was committed to the said gaol on suspicion of having released George Robinson and John Davenport, from Talbot county gaol, some time last spring. The said Aldridge was frequently heard to threaten the life of Calahan, if ever he got out of gaol, for his activity in having him apprehended. The said ALDRIDGE, is a dark mulatto, between 35 and 40 years of age, near 6 feet high, well set, strong and active; he has a bushy head, and a remarkable scar on his thigh, occasioned by a burn.—For bringing to justice the perpetrator or perpetrators of this villainy, I have thought proper to publish this my Proclamation; hereby offering a Reward of THIRTY-SEVEN POUNDS TEN SHILLINGS current money of Maryland, for apprehending and securing the said EDWARD ALDRIDGE, alias LEG, or any person or persons, who in any wise, assisted in the commission of the said crime to be paid on conviction.
GIVEN at the City of Annapolis, under the Seal of the State of Maryland, this twenty-third day of August, in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Eight.
W. SMALLWOOD. By His Excellency's Command, T. JOHNSON, jun. Sec'y GOD SAVE THE STATE.
