RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

A THOUGHT, On seeing an Infant three weeks old, asleep.
Sleep on, sweet Babe! thy Father's near thee—
Tho' weak and feeble is his knee, Yet he will watch, that naught comes near thee—
Yes, Love! he'll watch & toil for thee.
SONG, Tune—The last time I came o'er the moor.
Oh, Mary, lay those frowns aside, Ye ken they canna please me; It hurt me, sair, to hear ye chide, Then why sae aften tease me?
These rosy cheeks, that bonny mouth, And a' that fouth o' beauty, Believe me, lass, I speak the truth, Were made for sweeter duty.
The birds were made to soar in air, Wi' songs their care beguiling; To please the sight the lilly fair, And Mary's lips for smiling.
Then, why distort that bonny face? To charm by heav'n intended, Where ilka beauty, ilka grace, We see sae sweetly blended.
Tir'd wi' the cauld return for love, With which ye sae perplex me, I vow, by a' the powers above, Ye never mair shall vex me.
Sic haughty words as these I said, When last wi' you I parted; But by those een I'm perjured made, And still am broken hearted.
If time, that sour auld canker'd carl, Should once become your teacher, Tho' ye're the wale o' a' the warl, I fear he'll prove nae fletcher.
I nan lassie, took no longer dure, But shew by your consenting, 'Tis wiser far to yield this hour, Than be the next repenting.
A beautiful Thought.
Some few years ago, several persons of distinction went to visit the school for the education of deaf and dumb children at Paris, under the direction of a celebrated abbe, for the purpose of witnessing the progress they had made in learning. One of the boys being asked what was the meaning of the word gratitude , he immediately took a pen and wrote—“THE MEMORY OF THE HEART.”
Remarkable epitaph on a tomb-stone at Aberconway, Carnarvonshire:
“Here lieth the body of Nicholas Hookes, of Conway, gent. who was the one-and-fortieth child of his father, William Hookes, esq. by Alice, his wife, and the father of seven and twenty children. He died the 20th March, 1637.”
BRUCE, the Abyssian traveller, whilst accompanying a caravan in which there were the natives of 30 different nations bordering on Ethiopia, procured a translation of part of Solomon's songs, from each language; he observed a striking similarity in many parts of the translations, particularly in the word answering to “kiss,” which was the same in them all. Having mentioned this to a certain bonny Dutchess, (Gordon) she archly retorted, “I always told you Mr. Bruce, that kissing is the same all the world over.”
From the Connecticut Courant.
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PUNCTUALITY.
“Go sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children on the rest.” 2 Kings, iv. 8.
There is a class of people who, though not ranked with criminals, occasion much inconvenience and vexation in society: these are they that are prompt to promise, but slow to perform. Some there are who deceive others in dealings by first deceiving themselves. They are so misled by an ardent imagination as to think, without any solid grounds, that to-morrow will be much more abundant with them than the present
day. They can do this, and can do that, and indeed can do almost any thing, a while hence . They take credit with eagerness and with confidence; because, without consulting their understandings, they blindly follow the impulse of a romantic hope. “The thing is rather dear, and I might do without it, but can have six month's credit.—Six months credit! 'tis half as good as though it were given out of hand; for surely I can make payment in all that time, and scarcely feel it.” Well, among a thousand possibilities, it is barely possible that a man who has no money now, nor any adequate means to raise it, may nevertheless have money enough six months hence. Hope fastens upon this single possibility: She ventures in the lottery when the chances are nine hundred and ninety-nine to one against her, and draws a blank. Pay-day arrives; the creditor comes. “You must wait; the world, you know, is full of disappointments, and I have had my share of them; I will positively pay you in sixty or ninety days; but cant for the life of me do it now.”
There are some who would scorn the imputation of falsehood or of knavery; yet they readily promise, by word or by note, without even intending to perform their engagements punctually : they know they must pay at last, but mean to shuffle it off as long as they can, and never think of bestirring themselves in earnest till after they have received two or three duns , or a writ . There are some who are slack to pay, when it is completely in their power: they wait to be urged, and discharge their honest debts with as much loathness, seemingly, as a miser gives alms. There are some who are particularly heedless of the small sums they owe. They suffer little bills which they could pay at any time, to be presented to them over and over and over again, till the trouble of collecting nearly equals the value of the debts. Finally, there are some who, though they never expect to pay at all, add to the misfortune of their creditors by amusing them as long as they possibly can with fair and flattering promises.
Now it happens that a large part of these are classed by the world among your milky, good natured people. They are thought not to have the flinty rigor of your strait-laced dealer, who is punctual himself and exacts the same of those he deals with. They are careless, but condescending; hardly just, but profusely liberal; hating to pay away, but free to give away, and even to throw away. But after allowing them all due credit, we find that they don't mean the mischiefs which they occasion; it may be affirmed for truth that community generally suffers ten fold more from these good-natured folks than from all the downright robbery and theft that are committed in it. It is seldom that one is robbed of his money, or has his goods stolen; whereas disappointments arising from want of punctuality are evils that are felt daily, and by all; by farmers, mechanics and laborers, as well as by merchants and traders. One disappointment of this kind frequently occasions many more. A owes a sum to B, and B owes it to C, and so on, perhaps, throughout all the letters of the alphabet; and by reason that A disappoints B, all are disappointed.
Many of those who are heedless of their pecuniary engagements have become so by habit . Their first negligence began in early life, and in trivial affairs; and the first violation of their promises gave them, perhaps, considerable uneasiness. By frequent repetitions, their minds became callous; till at last they are brought to forfeit their word without shame or compunction. It is therefore a necessary and important part of education to guard the young mind against this evil. Children and youths should be taught punctuality, both as a moral duty and as a necessary step to their own interests and respectability in life: I speak of lawful engagements only; for “ criminal engagements are absolutely null, and never to be fulfilled .” They should be cautioned often against being imprudent or prodigal in promises, and exhorted to a strict and punctual performance. Bend a twig in any particular direction, and keep it so for a long time, and it will continue in that direction after it has grown to a tree. Thus persons who had been always accustomed to be scrupulously exact in the performance of their promises and engagements during the period of childhood and youth, are seldom heedless in such respects afterwards; for punctuality becomes natural to them, and the longer they live the more clearly they see the benefits of it to themselves as well as to community.
The ability to be punctual in fulfilling engagements depends greatly upon prudence in making them. A man who would support a fair character for honesty and punctuality should be cautious of plunging too deeply in debt; should never pass his word
rashly should never engage in too hazardous undertakings, nor promise further than he has a reasonable expectation of being able to perform. One who values his honor or his credit should carefully shun the scandal of being a bad paymaster: it is a blot on character, and an impediment to worldly interest. One who properly regards his own pace of mind and the duties of society will not unnecessarily keep others out of their uses, even a single day. “Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and to-morrow I will (pay); when thou hast it by thee;” consume not a drop of the “oil” which belongs to the creditor. Live upon your own; for it is infinitely better, with a bare competence, to live honestly, than, by means of keeping others out of their just dues, to live splendidly.
From the New-York American Citizen. THE NEGOTIATION.
It appears from the ambiguous paragraph, which we copy from the National Intelligence, that the negotiation between our government and Mr. Jackson is not only at an end, but that no more communications will be received from that minister.
The difference which has arisen seems to be this: Mr. Jackson states in the first place, that Mr. Canning's dispatch of January 23, published by parliament, and republished in our papers, was the only one received by Mr. Erskine in reference to the negotiation which was concluded in April last, just before our election commenced . To this Mr. Smith replies, “that no such declaration had before been made to our government.” Here there is no contradiction. But Mr. Smith adds, that “if that dispatch had been communicated to our government, at the time of the arrangement, or if it had been known that the propositions contained in it were the only ones on which he (Mr. Erskine) was authorised to make an arrangement, the arrangement would not have been made.” Now comes the contradiction. Mr. Jackson in his reply asserts that Mr. Erskine's instructions were , at the time, “communicated to our government.” Here Mr. Secretary Smith and Mr. Jackson, are at issue about the fact. Mr. Smith intimates in his rejoinder, that such an “insinuation” was inadmissible. Mr. Jackson perseveres in his declaration, and for doing so, he is promptly told, that no “more communications would be received from him.” Which is right or which is wrong, we cannot say—official communications and accompanying facts will enable us to decide. Mr. Jackson may have found upon the diplomatic books of Mr. Erskine, which have of course been transferred to him, that he had shown Mr. Canning's dispatch of January 23, to our government, and if so, whether true or false, Mr. Jackson was compelled to believe and to insist upon the fact. On the other hand, if our government saw that dispatch, and yet negotiated ( our election was approaching ) it draws upon itself all the responsibility of the rupture while it can no longer conceal the trick . But we may conjecture a thousand things, and not one of them right, so many are the artifices of governments and the machinations of parties.
Meanwhile, how does the nation stand? When shall we extricate ourselves from the immense difficulties into which we have been brought by the errors , (I will use a soft term) of the illustrious Sage? Two years ago we were to coerce England (it was not so said but that is the fact) into submission. How? by starving her—by prohibiting the exportation of our grain. We were to stir up rebellion. How? by withholding our raw materials. The Sage thought all this, and wished all this, for the love of France . I saw at once, to us, the folly and the ruin of the embargo, and so did Mr. De Witt Clinton, when with such admirable sagacity and promptness he attributed that measure, by insinuation, to French influence. Is England starved? No. Has she made us any concessions? No, nor never will unless we thump her into them, and I fear the Sage's gun-boats are incompetent to that. But we have made concession to England without obtaining those advantages which she had voluntarily offered to us, but which the illustrious sage, backed by all the wisdom of Martling's ale house, rejected. We have removed the embargo—we have transformed it (power and emolument and popularity being at stake) into a non-intercourse , admitting the exportation of all our produce by land, but most ably and sternly and coercively prohibiting it by sea, except by a little circuit , in which mode it all goes out ! Ah the wisdom of the Sage! How exquisite is party! How it triumphs over common sense and common honesty; the character of the nation as well as its happiness and prosperity! And now we shall have a year's calm discussion, whether Mr. Minister Jackson, or Mr. Secretary Smith has been libbing !
FROM THE RHODE ISLAND AMERICAN.
Messrs. Dunham and Hawkins,
On the 17th of June last I took my departure from Block Island, bound to St. Barts. We were steering E. S. E. and a southerly wind was blowing very brisk; the sky was cloudy and squally, accompanied with rain, sharp lightning, loud thunder, and a rough sea. At three days sail from Block Island, in lat. 30. 53. N. long. 70. 25. W. at 11 o'clock at night, a sharp and uncommon noise was heard astern of the vessel, resembling somewhat the report of a pistol, at two distinct and different times. A few minutes after this noise, the clouds separated over head in the form of a fog rainbow, and at that moment a stone fell on our deck, and at the same time a large quantity fell in the water under our lee, at the distance I should judge of about 12 feet.
In about five or six seconds afterwards, the fog-rainbow descended to the horizon. I suppose, from the quantity that fell in the water, that had they fallen on board, we should have suffered material injury. The stone that fell upon the deck I have preserved, it weighs about six ounces, is of the color of iron, and appears to be impregnated with copper. Whether this stone was drawn up by a water spout, which broke a little astern of us, I leave for others to judge. The weather still continued very thick and cloudy attended with rain, sharp lightning, heavy thunder and a rough sea. This stone may be seen and examined by any person who wishes to gratify his curiosity, by calling at the residence of the subscriber, in Westminster-street.
BENNETT P. GATEWOOD.
The Connecticut meteor that terminated in a stone, has excited much discussion amongst learned philosophers, both in our country and in Europe.
We embrace the earliest opportunity to communicate any facts to the public which may throw light on this interesting question. Instances of phenomena of this kind, both ancient and modern times have been witnesses of, and the cause still remains unexplained. We have examined the stone, and it appears to be composed of iron, with spots of a substance resembling verdigris interspersed, which leads to the supposition that it is impregnated with copper.]
NOTICE.
ON the 17th August last, I sent a letter to the Post Office in this place, directed to Mr. S. Griffith, merchant, Baltimore, covering a Post Note of the Bank of Alexandria for 500 dollars. It had been several times endorsed, & lastly made payable by me to the order of S. G. Griffith. The said letter never has come to hand: I therefore request should it have been found, to send it by Post directed to col. Gilpin Post Master Alexandria, and a reward of 25 dollars shall be given. Payment of the Post Note cannot be had, as information has been lodged of its loss to the different Banks.

Runaway, from the subscriber, living in Prince George's County, Maryland, on Monday, the 20th instant a negro girl, named LUCY, about 17 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, dark complexion, has a white mark just below her right ear, and a scar on her breast occasioned by a bile:—had on when she went away a country cloth frock; black ground, and blue and a white stripe, which had a large NEW PIECE put into the fore part, and an over jacket of yellow country cloth, a black hat, and a pair of new shoes. She was sent to the Alexandria market and has not since returned, and it is probable she is lurking about town at this time. The above reward will be given for apprehending and lodging her in Alexandria jail and giving me information, if taken in town, or I will give a greater reward if taken at a distance and safely lodged in jail.

In order to correct an erroneous paragraph that appeared in the Baltimore papers, stating the re-capture of the ship Commerce of this port, from the French, and for which salvage was paid—we make the following statement of facts relative to the capture and recapture of that ship, and at the same time to do justice to the generous conduct of Lord COLLINGWOOD, and the captain of the frigate Frederickstadt.
In the month of July, last past, the ship Commerce, capt. Burnham, was captured in the Mediterranean by a French privateer, who took out the mate and crew, and put on board a prize master and sailors to carry her into a French or Italian port. The prize master not being well acquainted with navigation, found it necessary to consult capt. Burnham, who contrived to steer for Toulon, where he knew an English squadron was stationed; and he managed so well, that at day-break he found himself surrounded by the British Fleet, and was retaken and put in possession of his vessel. He was treated with the greatest kindness and attention by the British admiral, who generously gave up the ship without taking or claiming any salvage, and also lent him seamen from his ship to navigate the Commerce to Mahon, on his pledging his honor to return the men to any British ship of war he might find in that port.
On his arrival at Mahon he found there the British frigate Frederickstadt, to whom he delivered the men. The above frigate being bound to Malta with a convoy, the captain furnished him with other seamen from his ship, (without any remuneration) and took him under his protection to Malta, where he arrived in safety.
Freedom of the sea. —A general and complete freedom of the sea is ideal rather than real; a thing that would be just and desirable, rather than actually attainable in the present selfish and depraved condition of human nature. As we observed before, when commercial nations have no considerable armed fleets, the dominion of the sea is usurped by pirates. On the other hand, whenever any one nation to obtain an ascendancy of power upon the ocean, such nation has never failed to exercise a kind of sovereignty there, by claiming unequal privileges and withholding from others a part of their just rights.
There is no kind of dominion that tends so much to render a nation insolent and overbearing, as the dominion of the sea; for the nation that has this, can, by its armed vessels, carry death and destruction every where; it can suddenly extend its destroying arm to the distance of thousands of miles from home; it can give blows, which the sufferer, how powerful soever upon the land, is unable to return.
Almost every maritime nation of Europe has, in its turn, contended for the sovereignty of the sea; we say for the sovereignty of the sea, because, howsoever some of them might have pretended at the beginning of the contest that they were fighting for the freedom of the sea, they no sooner had obtained the ascendancy of power than they claimed to themselves unequal privileges, and might overcame right.—The sovereignty of the sea has passed from nation to nation. Of old, the Tyrians, the Carthaginians, the Grecians, Sicilians, and the Romans, had it each in their turn. In modern ages it has shifted among the maritime nations of Europe, from one to another, till for some considerable time past and at present, it has been and is possessed by the English more fully and extensively than perhaps by any nation ever before.—Wherever almost there is a navigable sea, there their armed ships are found. They can annoy and harass the sea coasts of all the four quarters of the globe, and at the same time be secure at home. This is enough, as human nature is, to render them haughty and insolent. They are so; and we are not disposed to justify their haughtiness and insolence, or to deny that they have frequently claimed rights which did not belong to them.
But the question is, whether the condition of the maritime nations would be minded if Napoleon were to have the dominion of the sea; an object that he is struggling for with all his might, and which he will unquestionably obtain if he can bear down England. He pretends indeed to be con-
tending for the freedom of the sea. But what reason have we to believe him? or what reason have we to doubt that he would be the tyrant of the sea if he had it in his power? Is there a single country that his power reaches, which does not smart and groan under the rod of his dominion? His allies, what are they better than his slaves? If he exact money of them, they must give it. If he demand troops, they must grant them. If he bid them shut their ports against their old commercial customers they must instantly shut them. Can it be believed that such a tyrant upon the land, would not, if he could, be equally despotic upon the sea?
Again, judge what Napoleon would do to us, from what he has done already.—He has, in violation of express treaty stipulations, interdicted our commerce, sunk and burned our vessels, sequestered and confiscated cargoes to an immense amount, and imprisoned many of our seamen. It is therefore fairly presumable that if he had the dominion of the sea, not a single vessel of the United States would be allowed to sail to any port or in any direction that might not suit his sovereign will. Over and above all this, if Napoleon hereafter should have as much power upon the water as England now has, together with his immense power upon the land, he might at any time visit us with fifty or a hundred thousand veteran troops; a kind of visit which we can be in no danger from the English; it not being in their power, howsoever it might be in their disposition.
[Connecticut Courant.]
The sch'r Eagle, capt. Chisolm, was foundered at sea, about a half a mile from shore, the middle of last month, 22 leagues S. by E. of Cape Canaveral, East Florida; the crew and passengers (six in number) succeeded in gaining the land but could save no provisions except 5 or 6 pounds of bacon, and a few pounds of bread—the latter having been injured by the salt water, they exposed to the rain, which freshened it. They divided their scanty stock, and commenced their march over a barren beach, suffering the greatest hardships from the privation of food, and having only very bad water to drink, for which they frequently had to dig 6 or 7 feet. They proceeded in this situation for eight days, when they fortunately fell in with some wreckers, rolling rum, who gave them some hominy, and rendered them such other assistance as was in their power, until they reached New Smyrna, where they were treated with the utmost humanity, and where they received every kindness their situation required.

Gazette of Greece. —The Republic of the Seven Islands of Greece, lately conveyed by the emperor Alexander to the emperor Napoleon, appears by the following article to possess an official Gazette or "Moniteur."
CORFU, July 1.
"The Moniteur of the Ionian islands contains the following decree:
"The senate being informed, by a letter from his excellency the imperial commissar-
ry, that Mr. John Dendrino, of Corfu, has had the audacity without any authorisation, and against the interests of the government to which the Seven Islands are now submitted, to assume the title of resident of the sepinsular republic at the sublime porte, and that in concert with the English legation at Constantinople, he is endeavoring to excite disturbances on these islands, decrees what follows:
"Mr. John Dendrino, ex-chancellor at Constantinople, is banished forever from the territory of the Ionian islands, and the whole of his estate and effects shall be confiscated."
VIENNA, Sept. 7.
The Duke of Auerstadt has issued a proclamation, in which he says that all those who shall keep up any dangerous correspondence with the Austrian army, or who shall send to it provisions, arms, stores, or any recruits raised in the country occupied by the French armies, shall be considered as traitors, and punished as such.
The following Proclamation has just been published and stuck up:
A great number of arms has been found buried under ground, near the capital; 10,000 muskets have been seized just as they were entering Presburg, several millions of florins were hid at the time the French entered Vienna; they have been discovered and seized. Several millions of bank notes, and a great number of bills belonging to the Austrian government, are still hidden in different places. His majesty being desirous of rewarding those who help to make such discoveries, grants the quarter of the value of the thing found to whoever shall cause to be discovered either muskets or warlike stores, soldiers' clothing, bank notes, money, or claims belonging to the Austrian government. These declarations may be made in writing or by word of mouth, either to the intendant-general, or even to the governors of provinces, or in fine to any French agent.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
(Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams , No 30, Baltimore street , two doors above south Gay-street .
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges , but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance ( Mr. Wm. S. Moore , auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them a about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy , residing at No. 47, Walkes street , Fell's Point , in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.
J. SMITH.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799.
Philadelphia, August 5 1806.
TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges . Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges , and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it delivered me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. My nose, and about the seat—convulsions, epileptic fits, and sometimes a privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS,
Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern sea ports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills , prepared by the late Mr. Lee , whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY, ITCH CURED.
Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, a certain cure by once using; Hamilton's Lozenges ; Hamilton's Elixir , for Coughs; the celebrated Antibilious Pills ; Hamilton's Essence of Mustard , for the Rheumatism; Tooth-Ache Drops ; Hamilton's Grand Restorative for Debility .
TAKE NOTICE. —That imitations of the above medicines are for sale in this town—therefore please to apply only to Jas. Kennedy , sen. Bookseller, King-street , Alexa. who has long been sole agent for the sale of the genuine preparations. As a further security against imposition, each genuine article has on its outside wrapper, the signature of

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your fines cloths, than 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 cloaths, 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.
