4 YELLOW WOMAN, called Celia
~ Detcher, in the Esd year of her age,

moles on the right side of her face, which,
with several letters on her left arm, were

sed they have gone to the westward: Celia
was born free, and had with her notarial
certificate of her freedom, and description
of her person. Her mother, the subscriber,
is much afflicted by her manner of going a.
way, ard desires that any humane people
who may chance to meet with her, will
persuade her 10 return, being apprebensive
that when she gets intoa strange country,

reach Of her friends and those who would
be likely to protect her, attempts may be
made by some avaricious and unprincipled
persons, 10 deprive her of her liberty, and
sell her for slaue. Should any such at
tempts be made, fifty dollars reward will
be paid to any person who win communi-
cate such information rs shall lead to the
conviction of the offenders, and the recove-
~ of the woman.

FatteuIng of Hogs.

A practice has recently found its way
into L SIX and the other parts of En-
gland of fattening Swine, which has been
found extremely beneficial, viz. that of
feealng large hoys in separate stalls, so
cpl,,u ucted that the animal can, at his
pleasure, conveniently raise up or lay
down. but cannot turn round. a MIR.
Pattison of Walden, observes that they
will thrive faster in this manner than in
an, other way The stalls are upon an
inclined plane, from the head to the tail
of the animal, and are cleaned out every
day. Barley meal mixed whitewater, is
the food, and this farmer says, he will
engage that pig forward in flesh, weigh
ing 7olbs shall in % days increase in
weight to l4o lbs The gam OF 70 lbs. live

at Sd per pounds IS cd sterling per week,
The quletness OF these styes Cause them
to iaten more quickly, as they have only

Mr., Arthur Young. supposes the mos

Illiiduei)hia, oePt ~.
Shontaneou InRamation.--A few days
past, one OF the Wooden Manufactures
near Germantown was set on fire by the
spontaneous inHamatlon ofwool, or Cocks
CREASED with linseed oil. 1t had been pre-
pared the day before for particular pur-
pose and although the quantity did not
exceed couple of pounds, by morning
it was completely on fire, and had COM
municated tothe building contiguous to it.
By an experiment since made it haa
been proved that fire is produced from
the same mixture in about 2 hours. Ii
has long hsen known that this effect has
sometimes resulted from vegetable sub
stances wet with linseed oil, but ii would
now appear that from its mixture with
wool, or floeks, the effect is even more
certain and should serve as caution to
manufacturers who sometimes use Cocks
and linseed oil about their engines.
