PUBLIC AUCTION. To be sold, at public auction, at Northumberland court house, in the county of Northumberland, and state of Virginia, on TUESDAY, the fifth day of September next, at eleven o'clock, in the forenoon, Five contiguous Plantations, Amounting together to about 2700 Acres, SITUATE on the river Potomac, and within about three miles of the courthouse. These estates formerly belonged to Presley Thornton, Esq. and are the same on which he lived. They have never been seen by either of the subscribers; but it is understood, that about 1700 acres of them are as valuable low grounds as any on the river, and a considerable part thereof heavily timbered. The uplands consist of about 1000 acres, and the whole is well calculated for the production of corn, wheat, tobacco, timothy, and small grain of all kinds, in great abundance. The waters are said to abound with excellent fish, oysters, and wild fowl. The water carriage is easy and convenient to Norfolk, Baltimore, Alexandria, and the city of Washington; and as these estates possess several good mill seats, with an abundance of water, and a plentiful supply of timber, they must be very valuable. The premises will be shewn to persons inclined to purchase, by Col. James Moore, who lives on them, or by Samuel Blackwell, Esq. who lives near to them; and the terms of payment may be known a sufficient time before the sale, by applying to either of them, or to the subscriber in the city of Philadelphia.

From the Athenaeum.
Give me an harp, whose tongue can raise Ruthless Passion's wildest rage, And then again with softest note O'er the ruffled fancy float, And all the furious gust assuage.
And let my hand possess the skill To range the varied chords, until I feel the kindling fury rise;— Fiction awakes—dull Reason dies, And glowing Raptures only thrill.
So shall the expiring spirits soar O far remote from earthly shore! Where Genius rears his awful form, And wizzard Passion's, wrapt in storm, Frown in the face of Nature hoar.
A SERMON.
"Whoso findeth a Wife findeth a good thing."
So said Solomon, the prince of gallantry; and Solomon ought to know. The soft moments spent by the Jewish Monarch in conjugal endearments and sweetest dalliance with the enchanting fair, bore testimony, no doubt, to the truth of his assertion; and, when surrounded by his numerous wives, he had good right to conclude, that he was in possession not only of one good thing , but of three hundred .
The age of polygamy is happily past; and on the threshold of domestic felicity, rendered doubly pleasing by the fascinating smile of those we love, have the deep drawn prejudices and superficial maxims, of barbarous oriental nations been sacrificed, and the shrine of exclusive individual affection, erected on the ruins of divided friendship. For myself, I have no hesitation in declaring that, in my opinion, one wife, particularly a modern one, is amply sufficient for one husband; or in other words, one good thing at a time is enough to answer all the purposes of human life.
In discussing my subject, I shall divide it into two general heads, and proceed, by way of enquiry, to ascertain—First, what is a wife? Secondly, in what sense she can be considered a good thing ? And lastly, shall wind up the interesting subject, by a brief improvement of the whole.
First—What is a wife? And here, to prevent the evils of a censorious and malignant world, it may be necessary for the preacher, to hint a truth, which the midnight curtain-lectures of many a hopeless Benedict, if they could be obtained, would confirm, beyond the possibility of doubt, viz. that wives, as well as other sublunary things, very naturally divide themselves into two permanent classes; the good and the bad; or the fruitful and the unfruitful. But as Solomon meant to include only the better class, I shall take it for granted there was a slight omission in my text, and presume that the idea which he intended to communicate was, that a good WIFE was a good thing in a family, and treat the matter accordingly.
A good wife is a being selected by a benign Providence, to scatter the roses of contentment and strew the dark and serpentine paths of life with the choicest, the most fadeless flowers; and is truely the "last, best gift of God to man." Formed to charm, to allure and fascinate the whole soul of an affectionate husband, she can, at any time, transfuse a portion of her own spirit into his, and by the powerful magic of a smile change in a moment the bitter draughts of his existence, to streams of the most delicious nectar. It is a selfish race, unkind; and does the fickle gooddes, Fortune, frown disdainfully on his wretched prospects! He retires serenely from the empty bustle of mankind, and fondly pillowing his aching head on her snowy bosom, he applies his fervid lips to hers, generously glowing with hope and love, and drinks a long oblivion to his wrongs and injuries. This brings me to my second proposition, vix.—In what sense she can be considered a good thing ?
I have already, in some measure, anticipated an answer to this question, in the preceding section of my sermon, because the two points were very nearly, not to say inseparably, connected together.
A good wife may be considered a good thing ; nay, the very best of things, when she fills up the measure of her domestic duties, and presides with pleasure over the
concerns of a thriving family. She is the centre of that powerfully attractive system, which revolve, with uniform motion, all the bewitching graces, all the homeborn delights of refined and tranquil love. She gives a new charm, and adds an exquisite delight to all the blandishments of social life. Solitude is a stranger where she dwells—and melancholy pausing over his mournful story, dares not approach her consecrated mansion. Here is the silver wand which chases away the demon of sorrow, and restores the sunshine of her soul. In her right hand she holds health, happiness, and dawning honors; and in her left an inverted mirror, reflecting the liveliest objects in creation. I come now to the
IMPROVEMENT.
Stranger! whoever thou art, who standeth alone amid the storms of the world, labor incessantly, and with all thy might, to obtain that good thing mentioned in my text. A little wooing will answer the purpose, and procure thee a jewel of inestimable value. Does thy heart pant for glory, and the brow stern with the victories of battle, or desire the blood-stained laurels of the conqueror? Banish the puerile dream, and let sober reason chase the delusive vision from thy soul. A wife will soften the asperity of thy temper, and smooth thy brow, clouded with sadness. She will kindly watch over thy bed of sickness, and whisper in softest accents the language of consolation to thy drooping heart. She will form thy mind to generous exertions, and make thee nobly emulous of real greatness; and when the last faint flashes of life's expiring lamp, have quivered out their little moment, her tears will moisten thy clay-cold form; and her prayers ascending for thy final happiness, will gently waft thy disembodied spirit to the gardens of the Paradise of God.

Catechism on Rum.
Question. What is the chief end of rum?
Answer. The chief end of rum is to make toddy, flip and punch.
Q. What are the comforts which tipplers receive from toddy, flip and punch?
A. The comforts which tipplers receive from toddy, flip and punch, are, ease of conscience, joy in the comforter, increase of love thereto, and perseverance therein to the end.
Q. Wherein consisteth that ease of conscience which tipplers receive from toddy, flip and punch?
A. That ease of conscience which tipplers receive from toddy, flip, and punch, consisteth in a forgetfulness of the past, a beastly enjoyment of the present, and an indifference towards the future.
Q. Into what state will the love of rum, and an inordinate use of it, bring mankind?
A. The love of rum, and an inordinate use of it, will bring mankind into a forlorn and wretched state.
Q. What are the evils which in this life do either accompany or flow from an habitual immoderate indulgence in the use of rum?
A. The evils which in this life do either accompany or flow from an habitual immoderate indulgence in the use of rum, are sickness, shame, poverty and distress.
Q. What shall the end be?
A. When the hard-drinker shall have wasted his estate, ruined his constitution, and alienated the affection of his friends; when you shall see his affairs falling into ruin and decay, his children hungry and naked, his wife comfortless and in tears; when you shall see all these things, then know that the end is nigh, even at the door. Loss of appetite, a bloated visage, trembling hands and feeble knees, are but faint indications of the sufferings he feels. Beastly, sottish, debased in reason, and vile in manners, he sinks from the character of a man to the grade of a brute—all who once knew him, now pass by: his friends neglect him, diseases torment him, executions vex him, creditors teaze him, sheriffs seize him; till nature oppressed and overcome by continual injuries, resigns her worthless charge, and he sinks unlamented to the grave—surely it is an evil way, and the end thereof is sorrow.
O ye, who sacrifice to Bacchus, who make yourselves merry with the jolly god, and in sparkling oblation quench life's transient blaze—better is a little of the juice of the apple than much ardent spirit—more reputable is it with cattle from the same fountain to drink water, than to crack bumpers with high bloods, & roll in ditches with swine! Harken then unto wisdom, and let her voice be heard; cleave thine ear to understanding and be wise. No more spend the day in riot, nor the night in excess. Let in-
dustry employ thy hands, at evening rest thy cares, and in the morning wake to peace and the sweet enjoyment of domestic delights. Then shalt thou gladden the heart of thy wife, thy little ones shall rejoice, and plenty again shall crown thy board—thy olive shall yield its oil, thy fig tree shall be neither barren nor unfruitful. Then shall comfort spring up by you, and health shall come and make its abode with you; want shall flee away, nor shall poverty ever dare to look in at thy windows. In thy neighbors mouth thou shalt have a good report, and thy life be honorable; friends shall multiply, and thy days be pleasant, yea all the days of thy life.
Observations on the influence of Soil and Climate upon WOOL; from which is deduced a certain and easy method of improving the quality of English Clothing Wools, and preserving the health of Sheep; with hints for the management of Sheep after shearing: an enquiry into the structure, growth, and formation of wool and hair; and remarks on the means by which the Spanish breed of Sheep may be made to preserve the best qualities of its fleece unchanged in different climates.
By ROBERT BAKEWELL.
With occasional Notes and Remarks, by the RIGHT HON. LORD SOMERVILLE.
[CONTINUED.]
To remove all objections against greased wools, I would recommend the same manner of washing sheep in tubs with warm water, as is practised in Sweden. It would be desirable that the Spanish and mixed breeds of sheep were also washed in this way, because it is not possible to cleanse the fleece by the usual practice of immersion in a river, without keeping the animal a long time in the water, and thereby endangering its health. Indeed, I do not think the Spanish fleeces can be cleansed by the usual mode of washing, on account of the closeness of the pile. Were the Spanish sheep in this country washed before shearing as clean as the English, the value of their wool would be better ascertained by the wool buyer, and a more general competition of purchasers would always ensure a fair price for the article.
The extra labor required to wash sheep in tubs with warm water, and lees or soda, would, I apprehend, be amply repaid, were the water of the first and second washings carried out and applied as a manure. The quantity of rich animal soap it would contain, must make it one of the most fertilizing applications which could possibly be used. The greased wool would require a greater quantity of soda to cleanse it, than that of the Spanish or mixed breeds, where no ointment had been applied. I shall annex Baron Schultz's account of the Swedish manner of washing sheep: I think some improvements upon it will suggest themselves to the intelligent wool grower.
"Before the shearing, the wool with us is almost universally washed upon the sheep. Some persons wash their sheep in the open sea, or in running water, but this is never so clean, as when the sheep are first washed in a large tub, with one part clear lee, two parts lukewarm water, with a small quantity of urine; and then in another tub, with less lee in the water; after which the sheep are washed, laying them always on their back, with their heads up, in a tub with clean water; and lastly, there is poured on the sheep, standing on the ground, a sufficient quantity of water, which is as much as possible squeezed out of the wool. The sheep are afterwards driven into an unpastured adjoining meadow, and remain there (to prevent their soiling themselves in a sheep house) a day and night, not only till they be dry, which in good dry weather happens within the third day, but also if bad weather does not threaten some days longer. Some persons wash their sheep twice, which I also once tried, but the wool became rougher in consequence of it, and in fact of a greyer appearance. The great quantity of grease which the finest Spanish wool contains at the first washing, mixes with lee water, and makes it quite soft and soapy; but this grease is wanting in the second washing, so that the water is not the least softened. If the first washing be well performed, the wool is by that means several per cent. cleaner than the foreign wool that is imported, which has not been washed after the shearing."
The following table will offer a statement of the quantity of neat wool contained in every hundred pound, in the average state of each sort. Accidental variations, from one to 10 lb. per cent. may sometimes be found; but the general results will not vary much from the quantities here given.
100 lb. of Eng. wool, washed in the usual manner by the grower, will contain, when afterwards scoured perfectly clean with soap, Saxony fleeces, ditto, Spanish R, or Refinos, scoured Spanish and Portugal fleeces, unwashed, English fleeces, unwashed, Light greased wools of Northumberland washed in the usual manner. In the above statement I have each sort to be free from dag locks, and that the wool is perfectly clean with soap and will require the water to be changed three times.

Whitehair, a chief of the Washington City as well as of the towns of the Atlantic, and having attracted the extraordinary attention of the white men, which white men procured for him—he wished to imitate them, complained that his children were hard to control or govern, that the young chiefs have something supernatural had occasioned, and that they must kill one of the nation to appease his manes.

Monsieur quiem remarks, that the Romans had been so debased, that when Caligula proposed to make his horse consul, it occasioned neither indignation nor surprise. It appears that the same kind of apathy has extended itself over the world, as relates to the actions of Bonaparte. National sympathy, a sense of national independence, and just abhorrence of public robbery, appear no longer to exist. His deeds are viewed with a fatal indifference by some, and with a criminal satisfaction by others. Nothing, however detestable, appears to excite surprise in some, or, which does not find justification by others.
It will readily be supposed that these reflections have been excited by the atrocious deed which we record in this day's paper. The seizure of the temporal dominions of the Pope, is not astonishing when we consider the character of the usurper.
This venerable Pontiff must have many bitter reflections, when he thinks on the shameful manner in which he protracted his dignity, as head of his Catholic church in going to Paris, to crown as emperor of France this common enemy of Europe.
It is true, that for some time past, the Pope has been deprived of all his authority, he has long since enjoyed only the shew of power, but even the shadow is now taken away. It would be an unprofitable waste of time, to reason upon this abominable usurpation, for the mind which does not revolt at the bare recital of this act, must be prepared for the yoke. We fear that there are but too many, that like the giddy Roman populace, would shout for joy to be told that they were free, because the grand emperor had willed them to be so.

SOUND REASON.
Those persons who have stolen the greater part of the subscriber's pork, and are at present in the habit of stealing his corn, are respectfully admonished that they are now committing depredations on their own interest; for it is certain that if they deprive him of his corn, it will disable him from fattening his hogs next season, & of course debar them of the pleasure of feasting upon the hard earned fruits of their labors. If therefore, they will establish a 'non-intercourse' with his corn-crib, they will find their account in it; as, by so doing, they will 'preserve their essential resources' for pork, and secure to the subscriber the pleasure of receiving their patronage hereafter.

The following M E D I C I N E S are sold by ROBERT GRAY , Bookseller in King-street—and by N. HINGSTON , Fairfax-street, Alexandria.
For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers,
Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee and Son.
Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for Lee's Anti-bilious Pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper the signature of Richard Lee and Son—This is necessary, as there are other pills of the same name.
The operation of these highly esteemed pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thousands has proved, they may be used in every situation in life without the least inconvenience or danger.
They are admirably adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions: to restore the appetite, produce a regular habit of the body, promote free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thousands, and seldom, if ever, fail to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Habitual costiveness, and its opposite, are removed by their wholesome influence, as also those diseases arising from them, headaches and sickness at the stomach.
It is almost unnecessary to state, that on the regular habit of the system, the health of mankind depends. To conduce to this all-important object, perhaps no medicine was ever more generally successful than these pills: they never do harm, and at least nine times out of ten afford relief to those who use them for the purposes for which they were intended.
With the most perfect confidence we recommend these pills to the public, and will only further add, that their operation is always pleasant, and that they leave nothing of that costiveness behind them too often attending medicines designed for similar purposes.
Ten years have justified us in stating these facts, during which we have had a very extensive and constantly encreasing sale for this truly valuable medicine.
To the Ladies,
Whose faces and complexions are injured with Freckles, Pimples, Black Worms, Tan or Ayburn, Ringworms, Prickly Heat, &c.
To those persons is recommended
Lee's Persian Lotion,
A certain remedy for removing those disagreeable barriers to beauty, the proprietors with the most sacred regard to truth, and the credit of those medicines, assure the afflicted that all the different appearances above enumerated, are in a short time subdued by wetting the parts affected, with this pleasant fluid, according to the directions on each bottle.
Persons therefore who regard, either what is due to themselves, or the favor and opinion of the world, who can distinguish between the coarseness of health, and the deformity of disease, and who can weigh the advantages which belong to and are inseparable from an engaging appearance, to which perhaps they themselves, have by nature, the strongest claims, are seriously assured these advantages so far as belong to a good skin, are to be obtained by the use of his Lotion, however violently they may happen to be afflicted.
Instead of the studious and debilitating courses of medicines which patients went through formerly, and which perhaps they are still too frequently obliged to undergo, it is now found that the greatest number of those complaints are most certainly & speedily removed by the use of local remedies merely, than they ever were by a contrary course.
LEE'S LOTION
Is celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin, of every kind, it operates mildly without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is so essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth. Sold at the Bookstore.
The article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of
RICHARD LEE & SON.
Persons not attending to the above, are liable to be imposed upon.

Domestic Manufactures.
THE subscriber proposes erecting at the Centre Mills, near Alexandria, a Machine for carding Wool, and expects to have it ready to run by the 30th of the present month. It will card the wool and form it into rolls for the spinning wheel, or into batts for hatters, or other purposes. The advantage of having wool prepared by these machines for the purpose of manufacturing into yarn over that which is carded by hand, is generally acknowledged, as being the cheapest and most perfect in its operation. Those persons who may incline to give encouragement to this establishment, may depend on the utmost punctuality as to time and unremitted attention in the execution of the work. The wool when carded into rolls will be packed in such manner as to preserve it in the most perfect state for spinning, and may be transported any reasonable distance without injury. Wool, sent to the carder, must be clean washed, clear of burs, small sticks or other extraneous matter, and sorted in such manner as may suit the owner; and each quality shall be kept separate. The expence of carding will be eight cents for that which is made into rolls, and five cents for batts per lb. payable at the time of delivering, or payment will be received in wool of good quality at 40 cents per pound, as may suit the convenience of the owner.

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after using a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
