Twenty Dollars Reward,
WILL be given for apprehending and securing in jail, a young mulatto man slave, named ANDREW. He was hired by me last year to Mr. Joseph Thomas, who keeps the miller's ferry opposite to Alexandria, and absconded from that place about the latter end of August last. He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have feveral large pimples in his face. He is reckoned to be a sensible fellow, of an easy agreeable address for a man in his low sphere of life. As he has not been heard of by me since his elopement, I suspect he has had the address to ship himself as a freeman on board some vessel either at Alexandria or Baltimore. Whoever takes him up and secures him in any jail, shall receive from me the above reward, as soon as due information thereof is given to me or to Doctor N. P. Caufin, at Port Tobacco. C. B. Caufin.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Thursday February 13.
Mr. Goodwin presented certain resolutions from the citizens of the town of Petersburg, in Virginia, relative to aggressions committed by foreign nations evincive of lively indignation, and pledged their most strenuous support of measures for redress.
Referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
A bill declaring the consent of Congress to an act of the legislature of Pennsylvania, entitled "An act to empower the board of wardens for the port of Philadelphia, to collect a certain duty on tonnage for the purposes therein mentioned," was read the third time and passed, ayes 55, noes 27.
Mr. G. W. Campbell observed that a law had been passed the last session authorising the President of the U. S. to cause the lands in the territory of Orleans, to be surveyed. The object of this act was to prepare the lands for sale and settlement.
Believing that a settlement of that territory would greatly contribute to its security and prosperity, his wish was to bring the subject directly before the house. Whatever doubts might have been entertained of the propriety of encouraging the settlement of Upper Louisiana, he believed no difference of opinion existed as to the expediency of fostering the settlement of the territory of Orleans by the citizens of the United States, which end would be effected by opening land offices for the sale of lands therein.
Mr. Campbell concluded by moving the following resolution:
Resolved, That offices be established for the sale of the lands belonging to the United States within the territory of Orleans.
The house went into a committee of the whole;
Mr. Varnum in the chair. On a bill received from the senate the object of which is to authorise the location of a quantity of land in the Indiana territory by George Rapp, and his associates, they paying two dollars therefor, and giving them a credit without the payment of interest for six years, when they are to pay one fourth of the purchase money, and the residue in 6 annual payments on condition that agreeably to prescribed terms, the vine shall be cultivated.
Mr. Ely moved a commitment of the bill to the committee on public lands.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Ely, and Olin; and opposed by Messrs. Gregg, Findlay, Conrad, Holland, Sloan, Smilie, Bedinger and M'Creery; when the question was taken and the motion disagreed to;
Ayes 9. A debate afterwards arose, which occupied several hours, on the expediency of so far encouraging the cultivation of the vine, or any other agricultural pursuit as either to give lands therefor or to sell them at a price below that ordinarily required.
Messrs. Findlay, Conrad, Holland, Sloan, Smilie, M'Creery, Lyon and Morrow took the affirmative, and Messrs. Ely, Gregg, Macon, Olin, Bedinger, Jackson, and Crowninshield the negative side of the question.
Various motions were made to defeat and afterwards to modify the bill all of which were rejected.
On motion made to strike out a part of the first section destructive of the bill, the committee divided;
Ayes 30, Noes 51. The committee rose and the house ordered the bill to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
The bill making extra compensation to the governor, judges and secretary of the Indiana territory, allowing each three hundred dollars for compiling a code of laws, having passed through a committee of the whole, was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
The bill from the Senate making in addition to the unexpended balances of 1200 dollars, an appropriation of 1000 dollars a year for five years, was read a third time and passed;
Ayes 63. Mr. Lattimore observed that in addition to the various objects embraced by several petitions which had been referred to the committee on public lands, relative to lands in the Mississippi territory, there were others an attention to which seemed necess-
ary, as well to do justice to individuals, as to facilitate the execution of the business of the land office west of Pearl River. In order therefore that the subject might undergo a proper investigation, he begged leave to offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee on public lands be instructed to enquire;
Whether it be expedient to confirm any claims to lands in the Mississippi territory, founded upon warrants or orders of survey, which were not inhabited and cultivated on the 27th day of October, seventeen hundred and ninety five, agreeably to the 1st section of the act entitled "An act regulating the grants of land, and providing for the disposal of the lands of the U. S. south of the state of Tennessee."
Whether it be expedient to repeal so much of the first section of the said act, as precludes persons under the age of twenty one years, and not heads of families from the benefits of the provisions of the section aforesaid.
Whether it be expedient to make provision by law, for re-imbursing pre-emption claimants in such sums as they may have paid to the United States, in the event of their being evicted of the lands for which such sums may have been paid by a judicial decision in favor of any grant not derived from the United States.
Whether it be expedient to invest the commissioners west of Pearl river, with such extensive equitable jurisdiction, as may enable them to guard on the one hand against the admission of claims, which may be supported by literal construction of legal provisions, though founded in fraud; and to confirm on the other hand those which may not thus be supported, though founded upon principles of justice and equity: And also,
Whether any and if any what further amendments ought to be made to the act aforementioned: And that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
FRIDAY. February 14.
The bill allowing George Rapp and his associates to locate a township of land in the Indiana territory on certain conditions, was read a third time.
Mr. Jackson moved to recommit the bill.
Messrs. Jackson, Meriwether, Ely, Olin, and Clark advocated, and Messrs. Smilie, Sloan, Nicholson, Conrad and Leib opposed this motion; which was carried, and the bill referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday, Ayes 62: Nays 53.
Mr. J. C. Smith, from the committee of claims, reported that it was not proper to take any order on the petition of William Lambert, in which report the house concurred.
Mr. Garnett, from the committee charged with a variety of memorials from the Indiana territory, &c. made a detailed and interesting report, which concludes with resolutions recommending the following measures:
1. That the 6th article of the ordinance of 1787, which prohibits slavery in the Indiana territory be suspended for 10 years so far as to admit the introduction of slaves born in the United States.
2 To extend the elective franchise in that territory to all white citizens of 21 years of age, who have resided therein a certain time.
3. That it is inexpedient to annex part of the Indiana territory to the state of Ohio.
4. That it is inexpedient to divide Indiana into two territories.
Referred to a committee of the whole on Tuesday.
Mr. Sloan, from the committee to whom was referred the bill imposing a duty of ten dollars on every slave imported into the United States reported a bill, with sundry amendments.
The principal feature of the amended bill is a provision, in the case of smuggling slaves into the state of South Carolina, that the secretary of the treasury shall be authorised to remove them into some other state and hire them out for a number of years.
Mr. Jackson moved to reject the bill. The motion, after a short debate, was negatived, and the bill referred to a committee of the whole.
[Senate, United States.]
On Friday the Senate resumed the consideration of the following resolution:
2. Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to demand and insist upon the restoration of the property of their citizens, captured and condemned on the pretext of its being employed in a trade with the enemies of Great Britain, prohibit-
ed in time of peace: and upon the indemnification of such American citizens, for their losses and damages sustained by these captures and condemnations: and to enter into such arrangements with the British government, on this and all other differences subsisting between the two nations, (and particularly respecting the impressment of American seamen,) as may be consistent with the honor and interests of the United States, and manifest their earnest desire to obtain for themselves and their citizens by amicable negotiation, that justice to which they are entitled.
Messrs. Worthington, Adams, S. Smith, Adair, Pickering, Bayard, Tracy, Anderson and Maclay delivered their sentiments.
When a motion to recommit the resolution for the purpose of amending it, was lost. Ayes 15, Noes 16.
Mr. Worthington then moved to strike out the words in Italics from the 2nd to the 10th line.
Messrs. S. Smith and White opposed the motion, which was disagreed to. Yeas 13, Nays 16.
Mr. Thurston moved to postpone the resolution for the purpose of previously taking up and acting upon the third, which prohibits the importation into the United States of a variety of articles, the growth, produce, or manufactures of Great Britain, after the 1st day of next, unless equitable arrangements shall be made between the United States and Great Britain.
This motion was lost. Ayes 13. Messrs. Israel Smith and Bradley, then spoke against agreeing to the resolution. The principal ground taken by them was that it became the Senate to take stronger ground, and to adopt vigorous measures, before they requested the executive to resume negotiation.
Mr. Tracy advocated the resolution. He did not think negotiations exhausted. He thought it became the Senate to make one further attempt towards negotiating our differences, before a resort was had to warlike measures. The President would be enabled to take this step, by the Senate, who were a branch of the war declaring power, expressing their support of the measures he had taken, at the same time that they requested a renewal of the negotiation.
Mr. Moore moved to strike out the words " and insist ," which motion prevailed.
Mr. Worthington said that, so modified he should vote for the resolution.
Messrs. Logan, Kitchell and Pickering spoke in favor of the resolution, and, Mr. Israel Smith, against it; when after some verbal amendments, the question was taken upon it, by Yeas and Nays, and the resolution carried. Yeas 23, Nays 7.
In the course of the remarks offered by different gentlemen, the principal source of difference appeared to be, whether it was proper under existing circumstances to request the Executive again to resort to negotiation. Those gentlemen who opposed the resolution thought it became the government to take higher ground; to arm the President with the means of enforcing a compliance with our just demands, and to leave every thing else to his discretion. On the other hand, it was thought by the friends of the resolution not eligible, that the President, supported by the legislature with whom resides the constitutional right of declaring war, should make one more solemn appeal to the justice of Britain.
The third resolution remains yet to be acted upon.
LONDON, December 5.
After the action off Trafalgar, lord Collingwood sent to the governor at Cadiz, stating that the wounded prisoners should be taken the greatest care of, but that the accommodations on board crowded ships not being equal to his wishes, he would send them all on shore upon their numbers being acknowledged. To this offer the marquis de Solona, the governor, sent an answer to lord Collingwood, offering the Spanish hospitals for the British sailors wounded, and pledging, in the most solemn manner, the honor of Spain, that they should be treated with the utmost humanity and attention. What a contrast does this noble trait of humanity afford to the cold blooded savageness of Bonaparte, who, when required to send to England our wounded countrymen in return for the wounded and disabled French whom we have already sent back to France, tells us, that he has not leisure for humanity!
Great discontent prevails at Paris. The distrust of paper money, in consequence of the failure of so many bankers, one of whom, Recamier's house, is for no less a sum than four millions sterling, and the consequent distress, are universal. Fouche, the minister of police, found the discontent to be so rapidly increasing amongst the crowds that flocked about the doors of
the bank for payment of bank bills, has feared some disturbance, and issued a proclamation, in which he prohibits these assemblies; in other words, forbids the people under the pain of incurring the vengeance of the police, to go and demand payment for the bank notes in their possession. But a partial payment is to be made to peaceable citizens. But in what manner individuals are to go before the mayors of their respective districts, and to make known their wants; they are then to receive, if the mayor and Fouche choose a ticket, which they may carry to the bank, authorising the bank, upon that ticket being presented to it, to give cash for the notes the ticket holder has in his possession. We have inserted the curious proclamation. Those who refuse to disclose their necessities, and to give an account of the manner in which they came by the notes in their possession, or of the manner they mean to employ the money which they solicit to be permitted to receive for them, will of course be suspected, and no tickets will be granted them. Of this we may be sure, that none but bank notes for small sums will be allowed to be paid in cash; the large ones will be refused, as belonging to avaricious men and stock jobbers. Amidst this universal distress and depreciation of paper money in France, it is curious to read the dissertations in the accounts from the French army of the great discount upon the bills of the bank of Vienna, circulated in Swabia and Bavaria.
We know that the discount has been enormously exaggerated; but what is the conduct of the French in Germany? The Austrians pay for provisions and other necessaries in bills which may be at a discount, but the French pay nothing at all for what they take.
In such a state of affairs the people of Paris seem to care little for the success of Bonaparte; and though the bulletins are stuck up in every part of Paris, they are read with silent indifference. Fouche's spies swarm in every public place, coffee-house and street, to furnish a register of any offensive speeches, of any sarcastic looks, or even of any significant shrugs. The prisons were never known to be so full.
BANK OF FRANCE.
Report of their excellencies the ministers of General Police, and of the Public Treasury, pointing out the mode which the holders of Bank Notes must follow in order to exchange them.
Ministry of General Police.
"The maintenance of public order can no longer tolerate the crowd which for some time days past has thronged around the bank to exchange their notes. The crowd consists for the most part, of citizens who really want money, but amongst them there are intermixed a number of avaricious persons and stock jobbers, and sometimes pick pockets. It might happen that malevolence might at length, in spite of the superintendence and precautions of the police, excite a tumult, which it is prudent, in order that there may be no occasion to repress it.
"Measures must therefore be taken to isolate and frustrate cupidity and malevolence, and to facilitate to peaceable citizens the exchange of their notes for cash.
"I have therefore charged Messieurs the mayors to make themselves acquainted with the wants of individuals in their respective districts, and to distribute a certain number of tickets, which the bearers may present at the bank, and receive cash in exchange for their notes. By this means the cash will not be diverted from its proper channel, and honest men will not be placed at the mercy of stock jobbers.
"I request that his excellency the minister of the public treasury who has collected information relative to the real situation of the bank, will assure the timid that they need not be disquieted with respect to the solidity of that establishment.
"The minister of police, (Signed)
"FOUCHE."

Kekker's letter, though containing false intelligence, is not a forgery. We are therefore led to believe, that he was imposed upon by some person concerned in stock jobbing transactions, or by some French fabrication.
We insert the answer of the captain of the Flora, to the fabricated letter of the Dutch admiral:
"His majesty's ship Flora off the Texel, Nov. 29, 1805."
"SIR,
"I have received your news, and deeply lament for the world, that the tyrant of it has had the success you say. The punishment of mankind is not yet at an end; when the Almighty wills it so, be assured

it will not require the united force of Eu- rope to put an end to the career, and hurl to oblivion the avowed enemy and destroy- er of the laws of nations. I am, &c. &c. &c. (Signed) "LOFTUS OTWAY BLAND, Senior officer of his majesty's ship's and vessels off the Texel." To Admiral Kibbert, &c. &c.
The archduke Ferdinand has driven the French division under general Baraguay D'Hilliers, out of Bohemia, and pushed his advanced posts into the upper Palati- nate.
PROCLAMATION Addressed to the inhabitants of the Electo- rate of Hanover. "I George Don, lieutenant-general in the service of his majesty of the united kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, commander in chief of a corps of British troops upon the continent, hold it for my first duty, upon my arrival in his majesty's German states, to make known and declare hereby to the inhabitants of the electorate of Hanover, that the principal object of the troops I have the honor to command, is to effect the evacuation of his majesty's German states, and to undertake the de- fence of the same against the enemy.
"The well known discipline of the troops under my command, is to me the best assurance of their good conduct to- wards the subjects of their lawful sove- reign; but contrary to my expectation, should any well-grounded complaint be brought before me, I shall investigate its merits with impartiality, and remedy the same accordingly without delay.
"His Britannic majesty, my gracious sovereign, is convinced, that his beloved German subjects will receive his troops in the most friendly manner; I, therefore, in his majesty's name, and by his express command, invite all persons whose cir- cumstances will permit, to enter into the military service, particularly those who have previously belonged to the Hanoveri- an army. I invite them, without delay to join the British standard, where I shall in- sure to them every privilege attached to his majesty's German legion. With our forces thus united, we shall then oppose a check to the unlawful demands of the ene- my; and we may thus the more confident- ly reckon upon the good consequences of our efforts, being armed with the justice of our cause, in behalf of our king and our country."
"Given at Stadt, Nov. 20, 1805. "GEORGE DON, Lieut. General."
There is one circumstance which we have no doubt has struck our readers most forcibly. The fear of the Russians per- vades every one of the bulletins. In every one of which Bonaparte indulges the most violent invective, the most rancorous abuse. We ought to ask pardon of the Russians for inserting such villainous compounds of hated, malice, and falsehood; but we do it to show that Bonaparte feels and fears the power of Russia. He sees that her military strength will at length be too much for him. Every thing therefore, that malevolence, his malevolence, can dictate every thing that falsehood can invent; eve- ry thing that the most diabolical hatred can suggest, is mixed together into one black and poisonous stream, and poured upon the head of the Russian army. We draw a favorable omen from these calum- nies, for calumnies every one who is at all acquainted with the exact discipline and quiet disposition of the Russian troops, knows them to be. Bonaparte's abuse of the Russians proves his fear of them. But it is not only the Russians that are honored with his invectives: the English, the Aus- trian government, the Austrian minister, the emperor of Germany, and the empress, all come in for their share. Bonaparte seems now to be influenced by a wish to rival in vulgarity, violence, and falsehood, those respectable fathers of the revolution, Marat, Collot D'Herbois, Herbert, and Pere Duchene.
December 12. We had but just finished the contempla- tion of that compound of falsehood and vul- garity, Bonaparte's Bulletins, when our attention was directed to another document equally replete with lies, libels and scurrili- ty. A more detestable production never issued from the pen of man. It does not assume the form of a bulletin, but of a let- ter said to have been written from Vienna, to a person of distinction at Ratisbon, by an eye witness worthy of full credit. We have no doubt it was written at Vienna.— Talleyrand and Maret are there. It is in- serted in the Mouiteur of the 28th. We
shall only touch upon the heads of it to day, reserving a more ample animadversion for to morrow.
The chief object of this letter is to create disaffection amongst the subjects of his im- perial Majesty, to excite them to rebellion, to sow the seeds of discord in the imperial Family, and to pave the way for dethroning the Emperor. It endeavours to indispose the people against the government, by as- serting that the choice of the general to command the Austrian army in Germany was left to Russia and England, and that they appointed Mack; this is the first; that Russia opposed the appointment of the Archduke Charles to the command of the German army—the second; that Boh- emia is the seat of disaffection—the third; that a change in the government is anxious- ly desired, and that if the Archduke Charles or the Archduke Palatine aspired to the Throne, they would find no opponents—the fourth. Ardently as the people are attached to that great and gallant prince the Archduke Charles, they are still no less attached to their emperor, whom they love with the sincerest and warmest affec- tion. It repeats the falsehoods that the bro- thers of the emperor were against going to war; it wishes it to be supposed that in the difficulties to which the Austrian finances have been exposed, his Imperial Majesty has been hoarding specie, and that in his private treasury he has at least 40 millions of florins, or ducats; a most gross and in- famous falsehood. Two short letters are added to this long one, in which the lies in the bulletins are repeated; Kinsow's army is re asserted to have surrendered; the Archduke Palatine to have declared that he will not oppose any resistance to the French troops—and the Tyrol to have been completely conquered. One of the objects of these letters is, to remove the reluctance that pervades every part of France to the conscript service, by induc- ing a belief that peace is at no great dis- tance.

Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Liverpool, to another in Philadelphia, dated
4TH DECEMBER, 1805 "Since the 31st of October, the demand for cotton has been extremely limited; and as the state of our manufactures continues very depress- ed, without any likelihood of speedy amendment, besides a large stock of twist on hand, we con- ceive prices of the raw materials, must rather give way now, that the fear of import from A- merica is so near, and the situation of the conti- nent of Europe very discouraging. At the same time, it may be remarked, that our stock of Cot- ton is not heavy and very little is held either by dealers or consumers. According to the most recent sales, we may quote Sea Island Georgia Stained, 19d a 2s; Ordinary, 2s 1d. a 2s. 3d. 1-2; Middling, 2s 3d a 2s 5d; Good and Fine, 2s 5d 1-2 a 2s 8d; Extra Fine, 2s 9d a 3s— and for a few bags, picked out of a large lot 3- 3d per lb. has been obtained. Upland Bowed, 20d a 21d; New Orleans, 21d 1-2 a 23d; Ten- nessee, 20d 1-2 a 21d 1-2.
"Put Alhes are in brisk demand, and prices have advanced. 1st. New York, 56s a 58s; Boston, 58s a 60s; Pearls on the other hand, are less enquired for and droop; 1st. New York, 76s a 78s; Boston 78s a 80s.
"Carolina Rice has been bought up largely in London, of late, for the Prussian army, and a small rise has taken place here, in consequence: we quote it in Bond, from 32s a 35s per cwt. Naval stores go off regularly. Tar, 22s a 24s 6d per barrel; Turpentine, 13s 6d a 15s 6d per cwt. Tobacco is rather dull. Virginia leaf, 3d 1-4 a 7d; Carolina 3d 1-3 a 5d 1-2; Stem- med 6d 1-2 a 8d per lb. Annatto Flag, on which we have none, would readily command 3- 9d per lb; Quercitron bark 10s a 21s per cwt. fine qualities are enquired for, but middling and inferior, are unsaleable—Cochineal scarce 24s a 28s per lb. American Shumac 13s a 15s per cwt."
The following information may be depended on as coming from Mr. De Forest, of Connecticut, who came passenger in the Adams , Hull, from Havana, lately from Rio de la Plata. He
"That the conduct of many English cruizers in the South Atlantic Ocean, which have ap- peared since the war between England and Spain, has been brutal in the extreme. That several American vessels have been plundered, and their officers grossly abused; and in particu- lar, the ship Horizon , belonging to Charlestown, Captain McClure , bound to Montevideo, was boarded in the Rio de Plata, within thirty hours sail of his port, by a London privateer, captain Ferguson , and compelled to follow him in his cruise up and down the river for eighteen days, nearly all his men, a cable, and considerable ot- ther property taken from him, when his ship was again delivered up, and thirty or forty Spaniards the privateer had taken on her cruise, put on board."
Mr. De Forest further says, "That the Por- tuguese in those seas receive no better treatment than the Americans. That many of their coast- ing vessels have been plundered on the coast of Brazil; and that one of the English privateers had the audacity to go into the unfortified port of the Grande, and take possession of two Span- ish merchantmen, which were there at anchor, and finding them destitute of sails and rudders, sent on shore to the governor, requesting him to send them on board as soon as possible, but the governor declining it till he should receive or- ders from the viceroy at Rio Janeiro. The cap- tain of the privateer instead of a second request, sent a positive order for the governor to send off the sails and rudder of the two Spanish ships, (his prizes) within one hour, or he would not on- ly seize them, but blow the town about his ears. It had no effect upon the governor, but the agents of the ships were so much alarmed as to give the privateer 20,000 dollars not to injure them."
A letter from captain Tuck, to a gentleman in Boston.
French ship Suffrein , 74 guns at Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Nov. 11, 1805. This will inform you of the fate of the schooner Hart . On the 31st of July, lat. 43, 48, N. long. 10, 30, I was taken by the Rochfort Squadron . They came on board as pirates; drove me and my crew into their boats, and set my vessel on fire, with- out looking at my papers. It is the gene- ral's orders to carry all neutrals to France, where he says we shall receive damages; but until we arrive there, I must risk my life with them. They have captured three other Americans; captain Sargent of Mar- blehead, bound to Bilboa; captain Salter of New York; captain Penrick, do. for Bordeaux. All neutrals on board except masters of vessels, are obliged to do duty, or have nothing to eat or drink. The Squa- dron consists of four seventy-fours; one one hundred and twenty; three frigates and two brigs.

Carlisle, (Pennsylvania) Feb. 11.
By a gentleman who left St. Louis, Up- per Louisiana, on the 31st of December last, we are informed that a party of the Sock Indians, took the opportunity when the Osages were out hunting, came in on their towns, killed about one hundred con- sisting of old men, women and children, and took about as many prisoners. A num- ber of the Osage chiefs, came down to St. Louis and demanded protection from the U. States, upon which general Wilkinson, sent a lieutenant Hughes, with a detach- ment of thirty men to demand the prison- ers.
We are also informed by the same gen- tleman, that a few days previous to his leaving St. Louis, an Indian chief sent down by captain Lewis, from about fifteen hundred miles up the Missouri, had set out from St. Lewis for the city of Washington, attended by lieutenant Climp- son, and an interpreter; he is of the Ric- quora nation, of a dark complexion and remarkably corpulent.
At the time of our informant's leaving that place they had received no account of the destruction of captain Lewis, and his party. It is therefore to be hoped that the report which has been in circulation of their being cut off, is without foundation, as we have reason to suppose, had such an event taken place, they would there have received the earliest intelligence.
DIED, on the 26th nit. Mr. JOSEPH PATTON, Son of the late Gen. Patton of Centre county, Pennsylvania. His death was occasioned by the stroke of a club, which fractured his skull in a most shocking manner. He survived the blow but a few days.
The perpetrator of this horrid act of cruelty has absconded. His name is William Anderson , a- bout 24 years of age, 6 feet high, dark com- plexion, heavy eyebrows, talks slow, is fond of ar- cent spirits, and plays on the Violin. He has a fore leg, from a wound received some time since which may probably render him unable to walk with ease. He had on a tailor's jacket, and striped linsey woolens. He also carried with him a rifle gun.
It is hoped every friend to humanity will aid in bringing this monster to Justice.

VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINES.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public-houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Billious Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Billious and Yellow Fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Billious Cholics, Colic-winds, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Billious Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great cold's and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysenteries, diarrhoeas, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste,
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and safety in its operation stands unrivaled. The most authenticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in extreme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.

The strictest attention will be paid to the morals of the Students both in and out of school.
The terms of tuition will be; for the Latin and Greek languages, including Geography, &c. 25 dollars; for the Mathematics 20 dollars; Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, 14 dollars per annum, paid quarterly in advance.
