Valuable Real Property for sale by the heirs of Michael M'Keirnan, dec'd.
Part of the real estate of said M'Keirnan in the State of Maryland, viz.
A VALUABLE Plantation of rich Lime-stone Land, on the waters of Conococheague, containing about 275 acres. This Land is of the first rate quality, with a number of never-failing Springs of water, a large proportion of good Meadow, with a House, Still House, Barn, &c. also, a number of Fruit trees, and a never failing stream of water running thro' the place; within sight of a Lutheran Church and in the heart of a German settlement. This property is about 9 miles from Hagerstown and 3 from Potomak river, and has a number of merchant mills near it.
Also for sale, in the town of Hancock, on the river Potomak, one House and Lot, well situated for a store or any kind of public business.
In the State of Virginia.
One Plantation, on which is erected the noted stand called the Half-Way House. This Tract contains 266 acres of Land, the whole of which is tillable, and a great proportion cleared; this Land is particularly adapted to small grain. Its situation makes it more valuable than perhaps many stands in the county, being central between Martinsburg and Bath; it abounds with fine Springs, a good Orchard of choice Fruit; the House is large and well calculated for the reception of travellers, a Stable, and an out house for the family separate from the tavern.
Also, 400 acres of Land, within 2 miles of the town of Bath, 20 of which are cleared and under good fence; this Land is of good quality; on the Land is a House and Stable, with good Water and some Meadow.
Also, a small Farm on Sleepy Creek, about 5 miles from Bath; this place is in good order, with a convenient House and Barn, and Meadow well watered, and a good Orchard.
Also, in the town of Bath, that noted stand known by the name of the Coffee House, adjoining the Bath square; this House is the largest and most convenient for the reception of visitors at Bath, having upwards of 20 lodging rooms, a large ball-room, a dining room, dressing rooms, bar room, and a fine Kitchen.
Also, a Lot on which is erected a large Stable, sufficient to contain 40 horses, near the Coffee House, and a small Dwelling House.
Also, a Lot adjoining the Coffee House, on which is erected a two-story log House weatherboarded and painted, with Store Room, Kitchen and Stable.
It is unnecessary to be more particular, as it is presumed any person wishing to purchase, will first view the premises. By paying a reasonable proportion of the purchase money down, the balance will be taken in easy payments. For further particulars inquire of Laurence M'Keirnan, who resides on the first described place in Maryland, to Timothy Monahen in Hagerstown, Ignatius O'Ferrall, on Mill-Creek, Berkeley County, Virginia, or Andrew Goulding, on Potomak river, 5 miles above Bath.

LATE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, February 21.
A private letter from Bremen of the 11th inst. contains the following article relative to the sentence passed on the officers whose conduct produced the recent misfortunes to the house of Austria: "You have of course heard that the archduke Charles has caused a thorough investigation into the causes of the misfortunes of the imperial arms in Germany, and astonishing to think, the undermentioned persons, so high in the confidence of his majesty, are said to have had the following sentence passed upon them, for the criminal part they have acted in the late transactions."
Prince Auersberg, to be deprived of his nobility, his estates confiscated, and imprisoned ten years in the fortress of Spielberg.
Prince Lamberti, imprisoned for life in the said fortress.
General Jell, sentenced to be shot.
Privy counsellor Callenbach, ordered to quit the imperial states.
Counsellor Faszbender, to be dismissed from his office.
Field marshal Kaunitz, and field marshal Aussenberg, have committed suicide while under arrest.
All the staff officers of the regiments of Kaunitz and Spork, reduced and disgraced.
Count Cobentzel, ordered to quit the country.
General Mack's plans to be submitted to a board of general officers.
Thirty generals dismissed and many more under examination.
The criminal policy of the cabinet of Berlin is universally reprobated in the north of Germany. It has formally acknowledged the mock sovereignty of Bavaria and Wurtemberg."
We understand that a close blockade of all the enemy's ports is one of the measures determined upon by the new board of admiralty.
BOSTON, March 26.
From Europe.
Vessels in very quick passages from Europe, are daily arriving in our ports; but the times of "great news" appear to have passed over.
We have London dates to the middle; Paris to the 16th; and Rotterdam, to the 19th of last month.
The report of the evacuation of the kingdom of Naples, by the Russian and English forces which landed thereon, is confirmed.
Bonaparte has adopted all the children of his troops killed at Austerlitz. They are to be supported and educated at the public expense; and to take the name of Napoleon. The widows made by the battle are to be pensioned at the expense of the German empire.
BALTIMORE, April 2.
Arrived, ship United States, 28 days from London. By this arrival, we have been able to obtain only a few numbers of the (London) Times, Morning Chronicle and Cobbet's Political Register, from which we have given such extracts in this evening's Gazette, as are likely to be interesting to our readers. No measures either pacific or warlike of the new British ministry having developed the views of the cabinet, the London editors were unusually silent as to their foreign relations. A gentleman who came passenger in the United States, however, informs us, that the British nation, especially the mercantile part of it are for a prosecution of the war, and this is considerably confirmed by the address from the the livery of London, in this days Gazette, to his Britannic majesty. Russia is augmenting her army on the Polish frontier next to Austria; Bonaparte still continues his troops in Germany—Prussia alternately commands and countermands the diminution of her army of observation—while many other marks of jealousy, dissatisfaction and oppression, all indicate that the flames of war are only smothered for a moment on the continent, and will probably burst out again the ensuing summer.
A gentleman who arrived in the ship U. States, informs, that Mr. Senator Wright's famous bill reached London the latter part of February, and excited general consternation among the merchants trading to this country. So greatly indeed were they embarrassed by it, and so much was their confidence shaken, that it was supposed many orders for goods would be left unexecuted, at least till the political horizon had cleared up a little. We learn from another,
quarter that they had come to a determination to accept no bills from this country for a greater amount than the funds in hand. If therefore, any of our merchants should be disappointed in their supplies; if their customers have to pay higher than usual for their goods; if the government finds its revenue fall a million or two short; they will know the source.
Dispatches are brought by the United States from Mr. Monroe, to the executive; and we are happy to assure our readers on good authority, that they are of the most hopeful and pleasing nature.
MARTINSBURG, April 18.
The Editor of this paper again earnestly solicits every person indebted to him, either for subscriptions to the Intelligencer or advertisements, to make immediate payment.—Those who reside in this county, who feel an inclination, and have it in their power, to discharge their accounts, will have an opportunity of doing so, on Monday next (election day) either by calling in person on the Editor, or sending by their neighbours what may be due him.
Every mail from Washington brings intelligence of a nature, which most powerfully illustrates the truth of what Mr. Fessenden has said of our democratic rulers.
"You rogues! you rogues! you're all found out,
"And, we the people, I've no doubt,
"Will put a period to your dashing,
"And honest men will come in fashion."
The talents of the administration (says the editor of the U. S. Gazette) and of the legislature, which at the commencement of the session we fondly flattered ourselves would be sedulously devoted to the extrication of this country from the difficulties into which she has been plunged by the weakness and folly of our public measures, seem now to have no other object than mutual detection and recrimination. Those who have heretofore had the lead in our public affairs are now exclusively employed, each one in endeavouring to ward off the indignation of the country from himself and direct it to his neighbour. I am much mistaken if it does not ultimately fall upon all, with a weight which their feeble shoulders will not be able to sustain.
From the UNITED STATES' GAZETTE.
Spanish Embargo. —We have for nearly two months been endeavouring to impress upon the minds of our merchants the danger which would probably result to their property in Spanish ports from a knowledge of the mysterious expedition of the Leander. We have again and again predicted that an embargo would be laid upon American vessels in the Spanish colonies. For doing this we were severely censured by many as exciting unnecessary alarm and enhancing the price of insurance. We however persevered under a conviction that we were in the way of our duty. This day, we are sorry to say, our predictions are verified by intelligence that on the 6th of March an embargo was laid upon all American vessels in the port of Laguira.
Congress. —We understand that on Monday last a spirited debate took place in the house of representatives, on a motion to take off the injunction of secrecy relative to the late proceedings with closed doors. The question was finally decided in the affirmative; yeas 62, nays 56. We may now therefore expect to be informed of the ground of Mr. Randolph's severe remarks upon the administration, and upon the majority of the house of representatives.
A letter which we have seen from Washington, expresses an opinion that Mr. Ogden's visit to the seat of government was to obtain a nolle prosequi upon the prosecution pending against him in New-York; and that the argument which he made use of was that he should be under the necessity of implicating the government. We learn however that he did not succeed in the attempt. It would seem from the proceedings in New-York that the court is resolved to push the trial on, though in a very extraordinary and unprecedented manner. It is to be hoped for the honour of the government that a fair trial and full investigation may take place without delay, in order that the blame, if there be any, may fall upon the right shoulders. If the prosecution proceeds against Mr. Ogden, and he actually knows of any connivance on
the part of government, he ought to demand that Mr. Madison be cited to appear before the court and testify under oath what he knows of the case.
From the N. Y. Herald.
The Leander. It is dangerous here in New-York for a man to presume to talk about this affair: the first thing he finds himself at a Judge's chamber, shut in with his Honour and the District Attorney, and the Marshal, to undergo an inquisition; and he must get along as well as he can, for no counsel is permitted to accompany, or to approach him. But public curiosity is somewhat raised respecting what is going forward.
The Grand Jury have found bills against S. G. Ogden, Col. W. S. Smith, Capt. Wm. Armstrong, Gen. Miranda, and Capt. Thos. Lewis.
The following article from the Richmond Enquirer is entitled to no small share of interest from the source whence it is derived; between that paper and Mr. Randolph, we believe, there exists a very good understanding.
A KEY TO THE CLOSED DOORS.
The late proceedings of Congress in secret conclave have been concealed from "the people of the U. States, the real sovereigns of the country," that they might also be concealed from "the privileged spies of foreign governments." When therefore a fact has gone forth, equating so strongly at these mysterious transactions that it cannot escape the penetration of these "privileged spies," there is at once an end to all reserve. For is there a man who will dare to say, that the people of the U. States are not as much entitled to the use of such a clue, as far as it will carry them, as the ministers of foreign governments?
We do not therefore hesitate to say, that there is one expression at least in Mr. Randolph's speech, which seems to bear most strongly upon the secret transactions of Congress. Perhaps the text does not warrant the commentary; but certain it is, we are not the only commentators, who will thus have erred in the application.
Stating what would have been his project in regard to G. Britain, Mr. Randolph throws out an idea which bears most pointedly upon our relations with Spain. The case which he puts is hypothetical with respect to Great Britain, for with that power we have no dispute about boundaries. But with Spain we have a dispute about boundaries, and the case is therefore a more than hypothetical one. Let us then take Mr. R's expressions in regard to G. Britain, and apply them with the necessary variation of phraseology to Spain.
G. BRITAIN. "I will send her no money, sir, on any pretext whatever, much less on pretence of buying Labrador, or Botsany Bay, when my real object was to secure limits, which she formally acknowledged at the peace of 1763." SPAIN. "I will send her no money, sir, on any pretext whatever, much less on pretence of buying Florida, when my real object was to secure the limits of Louisiana, which she formally acknowledged by the treaty of San Ildefonso."
In stating what he would not have done, does not Mr. R. in fact state what Congress had determined to do? Are we not therefore to conclude that the secret deliberations of Congress have issued in a resolution to purchase Florida? Is not General Armstrong appointed one of the ambassadors to bring about this object? We have understood that one of the ablest and best informed politicians of Virginia, is also to be deputed on the same business.
HOSTILITIES WITH THE SPANIARDS.
A letter from Judge RODNEY, dated at the Natches corroborates the account which has been published of a rencounter between a party of Spaniards, and a number of American troops near our frontiers. The Judge writes, (under date of Feb. 18,) that the Spanish Governor and his people, having been ordered to desist from their surveys, and to quit the American territory; had resisted, but were compelled to retire—that collecting a reinforcement of 500 horsemen, they returned two days afterwards, when an action ensued between them and the American troops under captain Porter, in which the Spaniards were beaten, and again forced to retire.
[Boston Pap.]
On the 3d ult. two ships, three brigs and one schooner were lying at anchor
in the river Ohio opposite shipping-port. Total burthen, about 1300 tons! what a spectacle to the inhabitants of a country, situated, taking the course of the river, for near two thousand miles from the ocean, and which, but a few years since, was one uninterrupted wilderness!
A bill is at present before the Senate of the United States, which provides for the emission of two new and additional coins—the one to be called a double-disme , to be composed of silver, value 20 cents; the other, two-cent pieces, value one-fiftieth part of a dollar, to be composed of a mixture of silver and copper.

JOHN ALBURTIS,
Has it in contemplation, if sufficiently patronized, to print an elegant edition of
Addresses to Young Men,
By James Fordyce,
And for that purpose submits the following proposals to the consideration of all who feel for the welfare of the present and rising generation, whose happiness these Addresses are so admirably calculated to promote.
TERMS:
The above Addresses shall be printed with an elegant and entirely new type, on good paper, in an octavo form, and will contain about 500 pages. They shall be neatly bound and lettered for $2 25—or $2 half bound, payable on delivery of the work. They shall be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained, and finished without delay:
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE present publisher, as a member of that class of the community, to which this highly valuable work is addressed, recommends it particularly to his young brethren—but every person who feels for the good of his country, and for the welfare of society, he doubts not, will consider it a duty to patronize a work of this kind.
THE dispositions and manners of Young Men may be regarded as of the greatest consequence both to the present and future generations—An intercourse with those of worthy manners and dignified deportment, is evidently, much more efficacious in moulding the minds and directing the actions of others, than the highest authority, or the wisest example, of age. How deeply society will be affected, by the connections which Young Men shall form, and by the conduct which they shall hold, as they advance, it is not difficult to imagine; nor can it be necessary to prove, that, as the behaviour of individuals in their early days gives for the most part a turn to the rest, so from the character of our Youth in general, we may prognosticate favourably, or otherwise, concerning our own times, and those that shall more immediately succeed them.
THE above work, tho' more particularly addressed to, and intended for, the improvement of the minds of Young Men, inculcates principles that would add dignity to age,—and be ornamental to the nature of either sex. To persons acquainted with the author and his writings, any recommendation that could be offered, would be superfluous; but to those unacquainted with both, it may be proper to observe, that the work here offered, has stood the test of time and experience, and has been universally extolled by the virtuous of every sect and country where it has been read.
It would be a valuable present from a parent to a child, and for which they may expect remuneration in the rational improvement made in the minds of their progeny.
To complete this work, in a style that will do it justice, will subject the publisher to very considerable expense; but he doubts not but he shall be compensated for his expense and trouble, as every one will acknowledge, that the dissemination of books of this kind are an actual good to the community at large, and will therefore feel disposed to patronize it—for this purpose all who feel inclined to do so are invited to the Office of the Intelligencer, Martinsburg.
THE Company commanded by the subscriber, are desired to attend a MUSTER to be held at Martinsburg, on the first Saturday in May next (which will be the 3d day of the month) at the usual time and place of parade. A punctual attendance is required from every individual belonging to the Company.
WILLIAM GREGORY.
April 18, 1806.

D IVINES agree in the depravity of man; and physicians agree when a man is in a fever he is sick. But mention the curative plan in either case, and we not only disagree, but combat each other as enemies to truth. We call in question every thing but our own errors. As to our ignorance it is out of the question; for we have none of it.
When Columbus had digested his plan of sailing to the East Indies by holding a Western course from the continent of Europe, it was not only treated as chimerical, but as altogether absurd and impracticable, because never suggested before. His wise philosophic opponents could not conceive that new principles might be developed, and new discoveries made. They contemplated themselves as having ascended the steepest activities of science, and as seated in philosophic serenity on the summit of human wisdom. Columbus, however, soon taught them that the passage was practicable, and that he would have reached those regions of wealth had he not been intercepted on his way thither by a world.
The huge volumes of physicians now present themselves to me with equal abruptness. Verstepping the modesty of nature they have thrown all into confusion. But like the Columbians , I must get round those voluminous interceptions, and gain my latitude on the opposite side. Medical prejudices may run as high as religious ones, but truth in this country will be respected; for the man that respects his own understanding, will respect the understanding of another. This is reason's position.
In consequence of the law of health not being understood, physicians have never agreed. Their doctrines too often enveloped in mysterious guise, tended to mislead and deceive. Man is certainly the most inconsistent creature in the universe. He is constantly denouncing imposition, and is perpetually the subject of it. There should be no secrets in medicine—nor politics, nor religion. Nature disclaims the idea. The man that promulgates the possession of a secret nostrum , does an injury to society by imposing upon the credulous and weak; and by deriving a support through the medium of his knavery. Whether this takes place in medicine, religion, or politics, it is equally abominable, and ought to be detested whenever it appears. Secrecy includes in its very nature deception.
The similarity of fevers all over the globe, in all climates and in all countries, I have long considered as a proof of the existence of some law uniform in its operations in the production of health, and deranged in the production of fever. A fever in the East puts on the same appearance that it does in the West ; and begins and ends in the same way, whether in the equatorial, or polar regions. I discover no generic and specific natures except that which arises from the nature and degree of the stimulation applied. But to this, some very eminent physician, no doubt, will oppose himself, and tell his patients that I know nothing of the matter; because all physicians, in all ages, have asserted generic and specific differences, and that even Doctor Rush , was some time engaged in determining the specific nature of the fever of Philadelphia. Then be it so, and let them go on with their generic and specific differences, and provide nostrums for each genera and species . But this pursuit after generic and specific natures of fever, is not only bewildering; it is a pursuit from which we can learn nothing. What did Doctor Rush learn from it during the prevalence of the fever of that city? He tells us indeed, that he at length, after ransacking his whole library, triumphed over the fever, and that the triumph was the effect of principle. But in this the Doctor deceived himself. His practice was not the effect of principle, but of experiment. Hitherto, no principles to guide, nor rules to govern, have been promulgated by any physical or medical writer, except such as were suggested by experiment or accident.
Doctor Sydenham discovered that the application of cold to bodies labouring under what has been called exanthematic diseases was a good remedy; and Doctor Cullen has told us that intermitting fevers might be re-produced by the application of debilitating powers. But neither of the gentlemen knew the reason why, or the principle upon which these phenomena depended.
The phenomena, however, of both health and sickness seems to have been
well described by physicians; and they unfortunately appear to have exerted their talents chiefly in this way, as though the accomplishment of the great purposes of medicine was to be thus affected. When a fever was designated, some curative process was pointed out by some leading character, and the enquiry there ended; leaving the law upon which health depended enveloped by the supposed impervious and intricate operations of nature.
It was sometimes observed that the most enraged fever subsided without the aid of medicine, and this phenomenon, led physicians into the notion of an expelling agency. This agency or Vis Medicatrix  Doctor Rush has converted into a physical necessity . It was a source of the greatest errors in medicine, and the conversion of it into a physical necessity is but little amendment. This imaginary power of expulsion created a necessity of conceiving a pre-formation of a morbid lentous matter to be expelled; and this doctrine more or less prevailed until the time of Doctor Brown . It was practically found that a fever might be alleviated by bloodletting; but the principle upon which bleeding produced an alleviation has all along to this time eluded the researches of physicians; for Doctor Cullen speaks of it only as a relaxing power, and Doctor Rush , tho' it forms a conspicuous feature in his practice, seems to have no knowledge of the way in which it tends to re-establish the law of health .
There is a speciousness of reasoning in Doctor Brown , that upon a superficial view of animation seems as conclusive as his periods; but his definition of animal excitability, is not only misleading, but dangerously mischievous in the practice of physic. Driven on with the rapidity of a whirl, he ingulfed the finest of his faculties in the vortex of this animal excitability, and plunging into the streams of stimulation accelerated the current of life, and thereby in many cases that may occur aggravating the cause of the destruction of the due operation of that law upon which health must depend.
"I have publicly taught, for several years," says Doctor Rush "that a fever is occasioned by a convulsion of the arterial system ." If the Doctor had said that a fever was occasioned by an over-impletion of the arterial system , the idea of convulsion would have been thrown into its proper place, and have been considered as a consequence and not as a cause of a fever. He has here substituted in the place of over-impletion a consequent circumstance of that impletion. The idea of convulsion in this place was generated by the doctrine of sperm and reaction , introduced to the world by Doctor Cullen ; and which I shall hereafter have occasion to notice more particularly. For circumstanced as I am I must get on when and how I can.
The vascular system, by which I mean all the vessels of the body, should be considered as composed of three distinct sections. Those sections may be termed venous , arterial , and absorbent . The venous section carries the blood to the heart, and is the first delineation of nature in the formation of the embryo. The absorbent section conveys the lymph and chyliferous matter to the same gulph, first entering the common outlet from the venous section. The fluids of both sections then passing through the gulphy interior of the heart, will be driven by the contractile powers of this muscle to all the surfaces of the body. The arterial section should be considered as passive and as having nothing to do in the constitution or production of a fever; and also the heart, as much so, as a mill wheel, which is kept in motion by the influence of a current of water. The passage of the blood from the veins into the heart, I shall call the efflux of the venous section. The veins ought not to be considered as continuations of arteries reflected; and I shall call the passage of the blood into the venous capillary vessels the influx of the venous section. Now if the parity between the efflux and influx of the venous section can be preserved, it will be impossible for a chill and a consequent fever to exist. This parity between the fluxes is the law of health . Therefore, if the efflux is less than the influx a paleness and a want of natural heat will be the consequence, and if the efflux is greater than the influx , a preternatural heat and redness. The former produced by the inanition and the latter by the over-impletion of the arterial section.
It has been observed that during the cold fit of a febrile paroxysm, that sores and ulcers are dry, the cuticular pores apparently constricted, and the secretions suppressed. The contents of the intestinal canal arrested in its passage, and
the whole of the interior and exterior surfaces lubricated by the damped deposits from the arterial section. The reason of all this will now be candidly and obviously evident.
It is not my intention now to enter into a complete development of that theory or hypothesis I have formed for my own guide in the practice of physic. But to await for the evidences which time and circumstance may furnish for further elucidations; keeping in view the importance of the subject. Hence, I invite the aid of all reflecting and thinking men. I am well aware of the difficulties attending the introduction of new systems or hypotheses into the world. That the system I shall endeavour to introduce is new so far as I have been capable of discovering is certain; and I shall not, perhaps, be accused of vanity or imbecility, in supposing that the hypotheses of physicians, hitherto, have consisted merely of phenomena, without any knowledge of the productive causes. The law of health seems not to have been understood, so far at least, as it may be denominated a state of fever . But whether the explanation of the law of health , as I have now given, is original, I cannot determine any farther than as it relates to myself. My reading has not been so extensive as I could wish; but I am perfectly satisfied from practical proof that the position assumed is the true theory of life or law of health .
I, however, feel a diffidence in thus giving publicity to opinions which I have formed in the retreats of obscurity, and without the advantages derivable from a classical education. But I am not ambitious of literary fame, nor of any applause, except that which arises from acts productive of public utility.
I shall now conclude this number with an extract from a letter received from a learned physician of Maryland . "Then agreeably to your hypothesis, the next day, in a pleuritic case, I attempted to re-establish the parity between the efflux and influx of the venous section. I considered the arterial section as passive , and also the heart. I paid but little attention to the quantity of blood extracted; but continued the extraction, at intervals, until the parity was restored. I now for the first time in my life discovered the importance of the distinction between the general and pulmonary circulations. Your doctrine of the general circulation being composed of an infinite number of lesser circulations, and all of which being influenced by the efflux of the venous section, enables me to travel over the whole of my practice, and I have entered upon the course, with a sponge in one hand, and a pen in the other. I now discovered the absurdity of Doctor Brown's debilities as causes of fever; and my mind was brought back from its devious pursuits, and placed on an eminence from which the whole assemblage of fevers might be traced to their origin.
"I should be glad, sir, to see you throw off that diffidence which I consider the effect only of your not having read many books you had much better never read; for be assured, the books you have read contain every thing important heretofore discovered in medicine. But then I would not wish you to come forward abruptly and unprepared, I think it would be best to publish so much of your hypothesis as would draw the attention of physicians to the subject, and if it should be approved, the consequences must be advantageous to you, and if disapproved, you will have done your duty."
This I now comply with; and I wish the attention of all physicians to the subject of the parity between the efflux and influx of the venous section. The foundation of this doctrine, so far as it has originated with me, was laid by Doctor Rush in his remark that any improvement in medicine, would consist more in the gradual abstraction and accession of stimuli, than in devising new theories or adding new articles to the Materia Medica . God knows we have medicine enough. But we have still to learn how to use it. And to use it rightly we must understand the law upon which health depends; and this knowledge I hope will be ultimately acquired.

Woolen Manufactory.
THE subscribers respectfully inform their friends, and the public in general, that they are about to erect, and will be ready to commence by the first day of May next, a MANUFACTORY at Mrs. Hunter's mill, in Martinsburg, for the purpose of Carding, Spinning, Pulling, and Dying , where persons applying can get their Wool carded to spin at home, or carded and spun, or carded, spun, woven, fulled, dyed and finished, agreeable to their directions and quality of their wool; to which they solicit the public attention. As but few in this part of the country are acquainted with the nature and usefulness of these machines, it will not be improper to state, that a woman can spin with greater ease twice the quantity of machine rolls in a day, that she can of those of her own carding; beside, they will make much even yarn and better cloth. It is necessary that the wool be brought in a sheet sufficiently large to contain the rolls, with one pound of soft grease to ten of wool; the rolls can be transported any distance without receiving any injury. Beside improving the quality of cloth manufactured at home, it will lessen the expense and labour; which renders its encouragement an object well worthy the attention of farmers and others, who make their own cloth. It will also be of great advantage to hatters to have their wool broke on the machine, as it is much better for their business, and considerably cheaper than having it done by hand. The subscribers flatter themselves, that a generous and patriotic public, will afford them an encouragement equal to the magnitude and usefulness of their business; and assure them that no exertion or attention shall be wanting on their part, to render general satisfaction to all those who may please to favour them with their custom.
L. WESTOVER & ROBARTS, April 11, 1806.

The celebrated running Horse, FLORIZEL,
WILL stand the present season at the stable of John M'Cleary in Martinsburg, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the balance of the week at Mrs. Eckhart's stable in Shepherd's-Town, Jefferson County, and cover mares at the low rate of six dollars, if paid within the season, (which has commenced and will end the first day of July) or eight dollars by the first of September, three dollars cash the single leap, or ten dollars to insure with foal, the parting with the mare forfeits the insurance.
FLORIZEL is a handsome gray, upwards of fifteen and a half hands high, and was bred by John Tayloe, Esq. of Mount-Airy. Florizel was got by Gray Diomed; he came out of the same mare that Cuprearer did; his dam by Harris's Eclipse (son of old Farnought, out of a Shakespeare mare imported by Col. Baylor) his grand dam by Celer, his great grand dam by the imported horse Silver Eye, out of a Jolly Roger mare.
Celer was got by the imported horse Janus, his dam by the imported horse Aristotle; his grand dam by the imported horse Whittington; his g. grand dam by Jolly Roger; his g. g. grand dam by the imported horse Beau out of an imported mare of Francis Epse, Esq.
Mark Anthony (the fleetest horse of his day any distance) was by Partner; Partner by Old Traveller out of the imported mare Selim. Aristotle and Whittington were both got by the Culler Arabian.
Janus was got by Janus (son of the Godolphin Arabian out of the famous little Hartly mare) his dam by Old Fox; grand dam by the Bald Galloway. Jolly Roger is the 'Roger of the Vale' of the Stud Book.
Great attention will be paid to mares put to Florizel, but I will not be accountable for accidents.
