Of war. The ingenious contriver OF this
piece of mechanism is native OF Eng
land, who arrived in this country some
weeks since. He has been employed at
it occasionally for the last five years. du-
ring which time he never was on board

traordnary novelty in this instance is the
Tact of the whole design having been cx-
ecuted by the use Of no other tools than
those employed by shoemakers in The
prosecution of their business-if we ex-
cept one small chisel. The builder SER

The whole is mounted on carriage with
wheels, by which it may be drawn with
safety.

design to proceed with it to Washington,
in the hope that portion of that liberal

have ever been distinguished, will be cx-
tended towards him, and that he may
dispose of it at price nearly il not quite

Seventh Anaual Report Of the Board Of
Managers of the elisabeth Town Fe-
male Humane Society, Non. 9, 1918.

male Humane Society, NOu. 9, 1918.
The members of the society are again
called on to unite with the managers in
the expression Of gratitude to the Author
Of every good and perfect gift, for his
continuance Of the institution, and for the
degree of usefulness to which, it is be-
lieved, the association has contributed.
The managers cannot avoid calling upon
the members generally, to take into par
ticuIar and serious consideration the ne
cessity Of an increased attention and soli-
citude, to the affairs of the society. 1t
is not only necessary to the preservation
Of its usefulness, that means should be
taken for the increase and continuation Of
subscriptions and donations, but it is
highly important TO the responsibility of
the institution, that members should pay
personal and frequent attention to the at.
fairs of it, especially as they relate to the
management Of the school. The mana.
gers feel themselves justified in saying,
that they have claims upon the friends
and members of the society for their Co
operation and aid.
The faithful management of the funds !;
judicious inspection of the schocl--re-
quire no inconsiderable sacrifices Of time
and comfort, and they frequently make
those encroachments upon domestic duties
whic:, are found perplexing and oppressive
While this must be obvious to every
member of the society, it must be equally
plain, that the managers should be encour-
aged and sustained by the exertions and
countenance of those who belong to it.
From the following statement Of the
Tressurer's accounts, it will be seen how
the funds for the last year have been en-
ployed, and what progress has been made
10 the manufacture Of cloth, and the con-
sequent encouragement given to the in-
dustrious among the poor.

Case Of Seduction--Last evening ter
minated the cause of Ann SufIen VS.. Ed
ward Seaman, for the seduction of her
Daughter Catharine. The jury were
sworn on Friday morning last, and the
trial occupied the best part of three days;
kluring most of which time, the courtroom
was crowded, the last two days, almost to
suffocation. No similar cause, nor in
deed any cause for long time, has ex-
cited SO much interest to the spectators.
The plaintiff is poor widow, who, with
the aid of the daughter, supported herself
with her needle; the defendant, young
merchant in lucrative business.
The nature of the action itself; the try
ins situation of the young daughter as
principal witness her personal appear

| Deserved Compiiment.-The late Law
of this state for the prevention of The
deportation of slaves, must receive the ap.
plause Of every friend Of humanity. On
this subject the editor Of the Baltimore
Federal Republican observes,
"New-Jersey, thou hast done well !
Thou hast set an example, which thy sis
ter states will follow as fast as they come
to value justice, more than self-interest -
Thou art no longer to be disgraced by
the inhuman slave trade! Human beings
are no longer to be chained together With
in thy territory, and driven under The
lash TO foreign land
We hope, for the honour Of our coun-
try, and OF humanity, this laudabIe ex-
ample set by New Jersey will be followed,
and that speedily, by the other states,
from which the slave trade is at present
carried on 10 manner so revolving to
humanity Slavery is sufficiently OPP
pressive and intolerable in its miIdest
shape, but when aggravated by the accu-
INFLATED sufierings produced by the sepa-
ration Of husbands and wives, parents aud
children, brothers and sisters, it becomes
doubIy grievous. To see our fellow
creatures chained together, and driven
under the lash from the land Of their
birth, where all their affections and at
tachments are located--where what few
rights they yet enjoy are protected by The
laws, and where they are by law permitted
to be set free, and carried TO state where
this hope is extinguished, and where they
have no law to protect them but the will
of their masters, is in truth stain upon
the religious character Of our country

SUMMARY.

The Connecticut Courier states, that
the gig, belonging to the Washington IA,
with Lieut.. Hosack and ii men, on her
way from Bridgeport TO New York, was
upset by flaw Of wind. A vessel from
Black Rock saved the whole of them,
after clinging TO the boat for several hours.
We are informed, says the Salem (Ms. J
Gazette, that the Grand Jury have found
bill against the late Cashier and Chei
Clerk of the Essex Bank 10 this town,
for conspiracy to defraud the institution,
and for the enormous trespasses and crimes
committed upen it.
James F. Bull, native of Hartford, CT.
aged about 80 years was found dead in his
store, ~ Wall-sireet, New York, on the
l4th inst. His death was caused by the
loss of blood from wound in the back
part Of his head, which he appeared to
have received from fall or blow.
Patriotic.-Gen. Stephen Van Reuse-
laer, it is stated, has subscribed $500 a
year for years, towards the institution
and support of an Agricultural society il
Albany county, N. Y.
The account of the death of COL Dan.
tel Boon, which we published number
of weeks since, has been contradicted.
Firs.-On Thursday night, 18th inst.
says the Newark Centinel, there was a
partial alarm. Of ERE in this town. II
proved to be in one of the debtors rooms
in the third story Of the new Court House
and Jail in this county. The fire was
applied TO the wood at the sides of the
door-and little doubt remains that this
expensive fabric was put in jeopardy, as
well as the lives of its occupants, by a
criminal attempt of man to regain his
| liberty, who was in confinement for only
few shillings. PTovidentially the light
of the kindling flames exposed the nefari-
Gus act to fellow prisoner in another
apartment-the alarm was given, and the
fire eXtinguished without material injury.
The Niagara Journal says, that Grand
Island, three miles below Black Rock,
and about mile and an half from the
Falls, has lately been resorted TO by more
than one hundred families from different
quarters that have located there. 1t is ~
miles long aud from 2 to Z broad. The
title to it has not yet been determined, but
it is supposed to belong to the United
States.
Splendid Diuidend.-A dividend Of 20
per cent. has been declared by the Ameri-
can Insurance Company in New-York, for
the last six months.
Thanksgiving .-The governor Of New
Hampshire has appointed the 3lst day OF
December next, to be observed as day
Of thanksgiving throughout that state.
1t has been observed that thanksgiving
days have been appointed, the present year,
in all the states north and east of Maryland.

On Saturday night last, between the
hours OF 9 and 10, two white men, with a
horse aud cart, two negro men, woman
and two children Zone an infant arrived at
the house Of certain iunkeeper, who
shall for the present be nameless, and put
up for the night. They stated that they
were part OF company, who had set out
from Jersey, with an intention OF locating
themselves in one of the southern states,
Suppose Georgia or Carolina) and that by
some means they had been separated, and
desired him to ride certain direction 10
quest of them. He did so, but without
hearing of them. They had their meal,
and went to bed in room above stairs, in
which there was but one door--Across
the head of the stair case, they (the white
men) drew their bed, and placed each
loaded pistol under bis pillow. One Of
the negroes was hand cuffed, and neither
the extreme uneasiness of his situation, ow-
ing to the soreness of his wrists, nor the
thought Of separating these little children
from their mother, by public sale, could
wiring the flinted hearts of these bloody
minded kidnappers.
As soon as heard Of these circumstan-
ices (Which was moi until O'Clock on Sun
sday morning,) went to the house fully
resolved to have them examined in magis-
trate's presence, but when got there they
were gone, and had 10 horse at hand to
follow them.

Crimes of every kind appear to be null
stiplying III every direction of our country.
This certainly cannot proceed from the
clemency Of our laws but most probably
lis owing to the neglect of carrying them
Einto full effect, mild as they are. On
Wed nesday last, respectable farmer, re-
siding in the neighbourhood Of Easton,
was returning with his son, in his Wagon,
from the market. Tn passing thro' Ger
lnantown, he stopped near the market
house, and enquifed of man standing at
the corner, where the bank was adding
that he wanted TO get some notes changed.
The man told him TO leave his Wagon
with his son, and he would show him the
bank. The credulous countryman COM
piled; and his guide, who was by this
lime joined by black man, led him down
what is called the School-house lane
Having got him in retired spot, the vii
iians drew out their knives, and demanded
his money, at the peril of his life. The
unfortunate man gave them all he had, a.
mounting to between so and 90 dollars.
The villains then made hasty retreat.
~ is hoped, that the perpetrators of this
fagrant robbery may be discovered, and
brought to justice
