10 DelinqEeniS---We have 50 often called I
attention ofour Subscribers to the pecuinarv con.
Germs q this establishment, that we have 10.
only exhausted our ingenuity n dunning, but
very considerable part Of our patience also. We
have often pointed out the utter impracticability
Of continuing an establishment like this without
considerable degree Of punctuality on the part
Of IS Patrons-and lately we have urged our
claims upon still stronger grounds, viz. the in
disPensibie necessity Of efecting a universal
settlement with our subscribers in consequence If
the decease of one of the proprietors With
many these claims have been urged in vain--ans
IT IS to be feared they are waiting for an oppor-
tunlty OF doing it according 10 lav, though we
hope better things. II cannot be expected that
W should wait upon each Individual with bill,
as that would subject Us to more expense, in
many cases, than they worth--and we have
expended too much Of our hard earnings this
way TO little or no effect, already--we hope aud
trust, therefore, delinquents will avail themselves
Of an opportunity Of forwarding The amount due
US before the Administrators compels us TO add
cost. Whilst dealing thus plainly with some, we
would not lose sight of the obligations we are
under to others, who have promptly discharged
their bills To these we have ever felt a CRATE
ful sense of the obligations we are under
OF Subscribers in this town and vicinity are
informed that their bills are all made out to the
present time and that a settlement by cash or
note eannOt be dispensed aedh. 1t would give
individuals but little trouble to call, and
thus save the trouble and expense of many
weeks.

Chinese method Of taxing toild folol --
Whenever the fowler sees a number of duchs
settled in any particular plash Of alter, he sends
off two or three gourds to float among them.-
These gourds resemble pompions bnt, icing
made hollow, they swim Oh the surface aftha wa
ter; and ou one pool there may sometimes be
seen twenty or thirty of these >sourds floating
together. AT first the fowls are shy at coming
near them, but by degrees thew approach nearer /;
and as all birds at length grow familiar with
scare-crow, the ducks gather about then and
amuse themselves by whetting their bills against
them.
When the birds are az familiar with the gourds
as the fowler could wish, he prepares to'deceive
them more efectually.--He hollows out one Of
these gourds large enough TO put his head in
and, making holes to breathe and see through, he
claps il on his head. Thus accounted, he wades
slowly into the water, keeping his body under,
and nothing but his head in the gourd above the
surface in that manner he moves impercePtbly
towards the fowls. who suspect danger At
last, however he fairly gets in among them; while
they having been long used to see gourds, take
not the least alarm while the enemy is in the very
midst Of them and an insdious enemy he il
for whenever he approaches a fowl. he seizes it
by the legs, and draws it in jerk under water
there he fastens it under his girdle, and proceeds
to the next, until he has loaded himself with
many as he can carry away. When he has got
his quantity, without ever attempting to disturb
the rest ofthe fowls On the pool, he slowly moves
of again and, in this manner, pays the flock
three or four visits in a day. OF all the various
articles for catching fowl, this seems likely to be
attended with the greatest success, and Is tbs
most practised in China.
