He returns thanks to those who have favoured him with their commands, and hopes from his assiduity and attention to business, to merit a continuance of their favours.
Putty and Paints, by the small quantity always on hand. One or two apprentices will be taken to the above business—boys from 14 to 16 years of age, will meet with liberal encouragement,
TOBACCO MANUFACTORY.
JACOB LAUDEMAN, INFORMS his friends, and the public in general, that he has removed from Lexington—about three miles, on Henry's mill road, where he will carry on as usual. He will also keep a constant supply at Mr. Joseph Hudson's store, in Lexington, by wholesale and retail, opposite the court house, which will be sold on the lowest terms for cash; he will give from three to nine months credit, on giving bond with approved security. Persons applying may be furnished with the different kinds of Snuff, Rappee and Scotch, all kinds of Chewing and Smoking Tobacco, and Segars, all of which I will warrant equal, as to quality, to any manufactured in the state.
THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington—The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at the very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public—Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to
Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street. An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. Journey men and apprentices are wanted.

THE COMMUNICATION
Enclosed to the Editor of this paper for Mr. Magruder,
(Continued.)
I will now give you some description of the North-Western Indians, their customs and manners.
The Miami nation are the oldest inhabitants of this country. From whence they emigrated, is not known. The Eel River tribe, Weas, Piankehaws, and Kaskaskias, are branches or tribes of the Miamies, and all speak one language. The Delawares emigrated to this country from the East, and are called by the other Indians Elinobbah, or people from the sun rise. The Shawanees emigrated to this country from the West, or from West Florida. The Wyandots, Chippeways, Ottoways, Pottowottomies and Kickapoos, emigrated to this country from the North and North West. The Wenabagoes and Melomanees, who inhabit the West side of Lake Michigan, emigrated from the West. The Sacks, Foxes, Iawees, Emaffolces, and Nattowetsees, emigrated from the North-West.
Though there is great difference in the language of those Indians, there is but little difference in their customs and manners. They are warm friends, and determined enemies. They will go great lengths to serve their friends, and equally so to punish their enemies. The men are trained up to hunting and going to war; whilst all the laborious work is left for the women to do.
Each nation is divided into villages, and each village has one or more chiefs, according to its size; who keep their subjects in order by persuasion; as arbitrary power is never made use of, except in cases

of murder. There is but few chiefs for the occasion, and go to the influence that extends farther than the people of his own village.
The bodies of the children, both male and female, are inured for the purpose of undergoing hardships, when they are young, by their being compelled to fast, and bathe their bodies in cold water every day. The time a child has to fast, is regulated by its age: thus a child of eight years old, will fast half a day, and one that's twelve or more, will go without victuals and drink all day. The child while it is fasting, has its face blackened, and it's made walk it off when time to eat. The face of the male is blacked all over, that of the female, on the cheeks only. The male quits this practice at the age of 18 years, and the female at 14. When the boy arrives at the age of 18; it's said by his parents, that his education is complete, and that he is old enough to be a man. His face is then blackened for the last time, taken a mile or two from any house, where he has a small hut, built for him out of bushes or weeds. After this, he is addressed by his father or guardian, in the following words: "My son, it has pleased all the great Spirits that live above the skies, and those that live on the earth, that you should live to see this day. They have all seen your conduct since I first blacked your face. They know whether you have at all times, strictly adhered to the advice I have given you since that time, and I hope they will reward you accordingly. You must now remain, until myself or some of your friends come for you." The man then returns home, and takes his gun and goes a hunting, while his son is left five or six, and sometimes eight days, without any thing to eat or drink. When the father has procured meat for a feast, he then invites some of his neighbours to come and partake of what he has. They accompany him to where his son has been starving for days; the boy is then taken home, and bathed in cold water; his head shaved all over, except a small part on the top. Victuals is then given him, which has been prepared in a separate vessel for that purpose. After he is done eating, a looking glass and a cup of vermilion or paint is given him. He is then told by the company, that he is a man. After this, he is considered as such by the people of the village. They frequently, before they are declared in this manner, go to war; after which, they are respected according to their merit. Immediately after an Indian boy's face is blackened, which is at day-break, he takes his bow and goes to the woods, and don't return until the usual time for him to walk his face, and get something to eat.
I have accompanied the Indian boys for years, when their faces were blackened, and I never knew a single instance of their eating and drinking while their faces were blackened, or without the knowledge of their parents. Their minds are operated on by fears, as they are made to believe, that if they should eat or drink with their faces blackened, it would be followed by immediate punishment from the great Spirits, who watch strictly over their actions.
Polygamy is admitted of among the Indians. A man may have as many wives as he pleases, & change them as often as he pleases. Young men are instructed by their parents, to get as many wives as they can; but never meddle with married women; and by no means to involve himself or his friends, in any quarrel with their neighbours.
The Marriage ceremonies observed among the Indians. There are three different ways practiced among the Indians, in marrying or cohabiting with each other. 1st. When the parties can agree, no farther ceremony is necessary. 2d. When a young man is fond of a young woman, and she will not consent to have him, without he first obtains the consent of her parents, which must be done with a suitable present to the character of the girl; after which, much depends on the character of the man. If his present is received by the girl's friends, the marriage is completed. If the present is returned, it's understood, that they will not consent to the match—But the following is considered most honorable and binding to the parties concerned:
When an Indian has a son that he wishes to be married to a good woman, or a virtuous one, he assembles his friends and relations, and advises with them what woman his son should marry. When a choice is made, the relations of the young man, collect what presents they think sufficient
for the occasion, and go to the girl or intended bride, and make their wishes known, leave the articles they take with them, and return without waiting for an answer. The relations of the girl then assemble themselves together, and consult each other on the subject, and if they agree to the match, they will collect suitable presents, dress the girl in her best clothes, and take her to those that made application for the match, where she and the presents are left, when it is considered the marriage is completed. But if the friends of the girl or herself, does not approve of the match, the presents that were given by the relations of the young man, are returned; which is considered as a refusal.
(To be continued.) LONDON, April 14. A Gottenburgh mail arrived on Saturday. Private letters by this conveyance report, that the emperor of Russia, determined to support the king of Sweden, had marched an army into Prussian Poland, which had taken possession of Warsaw. Without pretending to vouch for the accuracy of this statement, we think it highly probable.
The same letter informs us, that the king of Sweden expected to receive the speedy assistance of a British squadron of twelve sail of the line: and that the Prussians had entered the Danish province of Holstein. The English ships detained in Prussian ports, did not exceed seven or eight; while the number of vessels detained in the ports of this country, under Prussian colours, amount to several hundreds.
A Gottenburgh mail has arrived, bringing accounts from that place of the 4th inst., which state the Russian army in Poland has been greatly reinforced; and that it is in motion toward the Prussian frontier. Indeed, letters from Embden, received on Saturday, state, that the city of Warsaw is actually in possession of the Russians. It is added, that the Russian troops about to enter Turkey, amount to 73,000 men; and that a corps of reserves was forming on the frontiers of Bessarabia.
A gentleman who has arrived direct from Berlin, states, that the prospect of a war with Sweden has not only caused great dissatisfaction throughout Brandenburg, but produced very indignant sensations in the minds of the Prussian army. The officers, in particular, do not conceal their feelings with respect to the injustice and impolicy of the war, and consider themselves treated more as the instruments of Bonaparte than as acting in obedience to the commands of their own sovereign.
Several private letters from Hamburg received on Saturday by respectable houses in the city, confirm the above statements. About fifty persons belonging to different regiments were put under arrest for having delivered their sentiments with too much freedom on the degradation to which their sovereign had reduced himself. Among them was prince Louis, brother to the king of Prussia. After a confinement of two days to his own apartment, he was set at liberty. The others continued under the arrest, and it is positively stated that the windows of count Haugwitz to whose counsels the dependencies of Prussia upon France is attributed, were broken by some of the military.
Prussia, singly opposed to Russia, could not sustain herself a month. The numerical force of her armies is certainly great, and discipline may, in some degree, repress any immediate effect from the universal disgust and dissatisfaction of her soldiers; but the Russian armies, ready to pour into her dominions, are not deficient in point of numbers, and surpass the Prussians in every other respect—France will gladly promote the war, in the confident, though we have fallacious hope, to accomplish the ruin of both.
It is said that not only Frankfort, but also Hamburgh, Lubec and Bremen, are to be taken under the protection of France, for which each of these places is to furnish a yearly contribution.

MARRIED. On Sunday evening last, by the Rev. Jesse Griffith, Mr. WILLIAM CAULL, to Miss MARY WALSH, both of this place.
We received no papers from the eastward by yesterday's mail, farther than Chillicothe.
We received by Saturday's mail the third week's drawing of the New-York Lottery, for the Encouragement of Literature.
FIRE!!
Sunday evening last, about 10 o'clock, this town was alarmed by the cry of fire. Already were the flames seen to issue from the rope manufactory of Messrs. Hart and Dodge, high street; and before an engine could be carried to the place, or a bucket of water procured, was the whole building enveloped in flames. Notwithstanding the night was remarkably calm, and great exertions were made, to stop the progress of the flames, they could not be prevented from communicating to the adjoining buildings. The flakes of fire arising from the burning hemp, at one time, seemed to threaten the whole town with conflagration. Houses, at near a quarter of a mile distance, were covered with fire; and considering the dryness of the weather, it is almost a miracle, that they were not consumed. Never, on any similar occasion, have we witnessed greater exertions on the part of our fellow-citizens, who kept up the water lines from the first hour of the fire, until daylight next morning. To this extraordinary exertion only, can we attribute the safety of the town; and even that exertion would have proved unavailing, had there been the least wind.
Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, a light breeze springing up, we were again threatened with danger, from the great body of burnt hemp, which yet retained the fire. Citizens were again summoned to the dangerous scene, and again discharged their duty with steadiness and alacrity, notwithstanding the fatigue of the preceding night. Whilst we are thus in justice compelled, to notice the good conduct of our town citizens, we must regret, that we have to complain of a degree of tardiness in our country friends, who were present yesterday—not forgetting at the same time, the tribute of praise which is due those who cheerfully lent their aid—and we must be permitted to request those who are not willing to submit to the commands of the fire company directors, to keep as far from the scene of conflagration as possible.
It is with concern we have to state, that many citizens were severely bruised and wounded, in the course of their exertions on Sunday evening. Beside spun yarns and cordage, there were about 20 tons of raw hemp in the factory, all of which was consumed. The loss of the proprietors may be estimated at from 6 to 7000 dollars. The proprietors were the most material sufferers, as the other house that was destroyed, was of inconsiderable value.
This fire ought to be a solemn warning to the people of Lexington—first, because it has arisen from the act of some vile incendiary; and secondly, because our citizens are now but too seriously apprised of the insufficient state of preparation they are in to extinguish fire. It is true there are two engines, but both are much out of repair—and even were they in good repair, there are not one third buckets sufficient to supply them with water.
We are pleased to find a town meeting was held last evening, to take our unprepared situation to meet fire, into consideration, and that another meeting will be held this day. We hope the meeting will be generally attended, and trust the subject will not be suffered to pass, until we are able to bid defiance to this devouring element.
The brig Franklin is preparing at the Navy Yard for a trip to Tunis. She is to take the force of the Tunisian ambassador to Boston, where the ambassador himself will be taken on board in order to proceed to Tunis.

had as much rain as was sufficient to lay the dust in our streets; yesterday a gentle rain came on, which still continues, with every appearance of continuing, and moreover appears to be general.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
On Monday the 12th ult. the Rev. Dr. Robert Davidson, principal of Dickinson college, and Mrs. Davidson, went in their chaise on a visit to Col. Wm. Chambers, about three miles from Carlisle; on their return, about half a mile from the colonel's house, the horse started, overfed the chaise, and ran into the woods, which being thick, the chaise was soon broken to pieces; the consequences were deplorable—the doctor & his wife were found by some persons at a small distance from each other; the doctor's left arm was broken, his left eye very much injured, and Mrs. Davidson's ankle dislocated.
The Dr. has ever since been confined to his bed, but is recovering rapidly, & will, we trust, soon be able to resume his useful pastoral and collegiate duties. The fate of Mrs. Davidson is solemn and impressive; from the moment of the misfortune she continued in a delirium—from the time she recovered her voice, after being carried to the house of Col. Chambers, she was always under the influence of the idea that she was in the instant of falling from the chaise; her continued cry was "Save me, save me!" until after seven days, this painful existence, without sustenance, every exertion having been made by the physicians of that place for her recovery, she died about five o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last.

Captain Hopkins from Tarragona, arrived yesterday, spoke on the 5th April, in the Gut of Gibraltar, ship Eliza Ann, Hutchinson, of Norfolk, from Messina, (Sicily), & was informed that the English troops held possession of Messina, and that the Russians had gone home in a huff. This is mere bagatelle. We know the Russian troops have been ordered to quit Sicily, and return to the Ionian islands, to be ready to aid the Russian operations in Dalmatia.

CARDING MACHINE.
I WISH to inform the public, that there is a Carding Machine in motion in the Georgetown Paper Mill, for picking, breaking, and carding Wool into rolls, on the plan that is in general use in Europe as I am informed, and in my opinion highly worth the immediate attention of all those who will make wool into rolls for spinning, or into hats. As the owner only wishes the owner of the wool to wash it and pick the burs and sticks out, and add a pound of grease well mixed with every eight pounds of wool, they will card a hundred weight a day, and pack it in coarse sheets, in which the wool must be sent, and secure it so that it will carry forty miles safely on horseback. The rolls are very long and tight rolled, and spin so well that the spinners with us, are now spinning three pounds per day, with as much ease as they can spin two from hand carding, & is much stronger and smoother than a fuller says there will be no comparison in the cloth. Let us consider the saving in a hundred weight of wool: a hand in a hundred days, may by hard close work, pick, break, and card a hundred weight of wool; such a hand, to find cards, victuals and clothes, must be worth one and six pence per day, which is £7 10, and in the spinning there will be about 17 days saved, which is £1 5 6, which make £8 15 6, and I believe that the superior quality of the stuff will more than pay all the expense and trouble, even if to carry forty miles, & if £8 15 6 can be saved in every hundred weight of wool, and the cloth much more durable and lightly, it will induce us to take care of our sheep, and have us and our people better clad, and cause us soon to have a surplus for our north western brethren, white and red, and render us less dependant on convulsed Europe. It may be said the bands that do this are of little other use; I answer, cannot they be employed at the manufacturing of flax or hemp? nay, how many hundreds of very valuable white women are employed at times at this very dirty and laborious business? a disgrace to the men, when such relief is offered and not made use of.
A hatter came in with his wool yesterday, and when he saw it ruffed out in such excellent order, he said (and may be sworn to it) he could make fur hats of it. The price for making it into rolls is 10 cents, if to mix different colours 12 cents, and for preparing it for the hatters 5 cents per pound, and the whole may be paid in linen and cotton rags that are well bleached, clean washed and dried, at 3d per pound, and a worse quality at a lower price. What inducements to heads of families to save all their rags, and get from their neighbours who have not occasion to send. I suppose was economy and frugality used, there would be rags enough to pay for picking, breaking, and carding all the wool in the state. I am only interested in common with my fellow-citizens, the owner has rented room and water of the present owners of the mill, where they can work the machine at any season of the year.

I find a sprinkling of Emancipators amongst the different societies in Kentucky, living & communing with those of contrary sentiments. In principle, one is wrong; in practice, both are wrong. If I believe hereditary slavery is a moral evil, am I not doing wrong, when I live and commune with those who live in this evil? Why not then come out and make no noise about it? Answer. I can no more good by living in society and warning them of the evil. But Sir, your reproof loses its weight, when you exclaim against a crime, and then tackily submit. It is not unlike reproving a gambler, and then sitting down and keeping game for him. I suppose in the sequel, you would be willing to share of his money in the bargain. I think it more to my credit to go out of a gentleman's house when he gives me a hint to walk out, than to stay, and pester him, until he drives me out. Perhaps he will get angry, and let all his hours after me, which will make me angry: and so there will be two mad men, and of course, we shall begin to trump up charges against each other, and make our last state worse than the first. Experience is the best teacher. Open your eyes, Emancipators, and walk out like honest men, and enforce your doctrine by example and precept. I am sorry for Semi-Emancipators. They put me in mind of the tale of the old man and his two wives; the old wife plucked all the black hairs out of his head; the young wife all the white, until they left him as bald as an Eagle.

RUIN'D MARY. The shrill gust whistles o'er the plain, The herds their evening shelter seek; And fast descends the pattering rain, That on Mary's pallid cheek. Poor Girl! she wanders mid the storm, Nor knows her path is wet and dreary, For reason fled her lovely form, When love betrayed poor ruin'd Mary.
Her dim eye sees the path discerns; Her tattered vestments mock the blast; Her wounded heart with madness burns, And to the cliff she wanders fast. Yet I remember well the day, When she was like the rambling fary, Among the gayest she was gay, Till love betrayed poor ruin'd Mary.
"TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR."
'Twas in yon vine surrounded grove, A lover won her virgin heart; 'Twas in yon fragrant sweet above, She first confess'd love's traitorous smart, 'Twas there the voice of art beguild, A heart that knew not to be wily— Seductions fiend successful smil'd And triumph'd over ruin'd Mary.
Now sad and mournful pass her days, For innocence has fled her breast, And wild she sings her artless lays, When darkness lulls the swains to rest. High on the jutting cliffs she stands, Like some disconsolate, wan'd'ring fary; In robes of white, with folded hands, And breathes a pray'r for ruin'd Mary.

IN Lexington my friends may find Me working at my trade, At raking stone to suit your mind, Or digging with my spade. All you that have my stone received And find them not to suit, I'll haul the offals back again, And send a fresh recruit.
Great contention long has been, Who can good water find, But I am sure although unseen, For all I am half blind. I will dig wells you all do know, Good water I can find, In spite of patent laws I'll show, For nought I will be kind.
Good time I have always on hand, Supply'd you all can be, However great is the demand, Come friends, come unto me. "A new broom sweeps clean;" but I am almost worn out, and my elbow-grate tails—do please to remember eo12m Poor old Shaw.

FOR SALE, 18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane, brakes and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark, that when the water is very low, shows clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches [as they call them] trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water, and close to it a very easy ascending hill for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within 300 yards. There is also 5 valuable coal banks which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per ann. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the state. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a fein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or cast iron will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy, Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, May 16, 1806. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.
THE SUBSCRIBER Makes & sells woman's good lined and bound slippers at 69 a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a discerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their affording him encouragement in this partial experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves.

I will take 15 dollars per acre for it in cash, selling the whole together, or I will sell 100 acres with the mills and distillery on it, for £1,600 cash, which is the greatest bargain that has been offered for sale any where in the quarter—two stills, one of 127 gallons, the other of 60 gallons. Rate the improvements at only a moderate price and the land will not come to 40 shillings per acre—a few negroes between the age of 12 and 18 years would be received in payment—it is needless to mention further particulars, as any person willing to buy can view the premises.

WARM & COLD BATHS. THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expence, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use. The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where exonerating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER. N. B. Dr. Buchan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
