can order the Superintendent of Police to re-

oes sdueo'o oAPcrienced remed,
for lameness, proceeding from 10y
fixed contraction of the parts ass ~
ted-from the pen of a late c.lsS. s'
ted English surgeon.
Many years ago when l lived At v.
vile; in Somershetshire, my advice ~ ~
desired for poor mans child, boS -
bout 9 years old, one Of whose =.
was contracted more than when > n ,.s'
son is sitting in a chair. He could =:
stretch it out, nor move it: neiths'
could it be extended by any pe,ss s,
without an injury to the part aa s.s
ted.
Iprescribed a relaxing Eminent !,
which curriers' oil was the chief :,
gredient, and ordered the parts affac,.d
to be gently rubbed with it, but + -.
Of little service.
The probable just consequences a.
this boys living without the use ofth,.
limb, very much moved my pity. and
while l was considering what forthe,
might be done for his relief, it csuein.
to my mind that the glovers Of the
town brought lamb and kid skins which
were dry. stiff and hard, to be soft and
supple as gloves by rubbing them witha
liquor made of the yolk of eggs and
water.
Hereupon l reasoned with myself.
viz: since this egg liquor is SO efica-
cious in removing contractions fromthe
parts Of dead animal fbres, vessels and
membranes, By art made dry, stiff and
hard, why may it not be as effectual.
when sufficiently applied to living au-
imsl fibres and membranes in a state
Of contraction? And l resolved to try
its efficacy in the case of this poor boy.
ordered the contracted part Of his
leg to be gently rubbed two or three
times day with the egg liquor, and.
by this means he easily recovered tho
perfect use Of his leg.
This egg liquor l advised to be made
in the following manner:
Take the yolk of new laid egg, let
it be beaten with spoon to the great-
est thinness, then by spoonful ats
time. add 8 ounces of pure water. agi-
tating the mixture continually, that tho
egg and water may be we'll incorpors-
ted.
The liquor may be applied to the
parts contracted, cold or only milk
warm. by gen lie friction for few
minutes, three or four times day.
This remedy ] have since advised in
like cases, and with the like happy
success; and others, to whom have
communicated it, have found the same
advantage from it in like cases.
And as this communication may be
useful to persons lame by acontractiou

may be acceptable to you and the pub"

FIRE !-On Friday last, about halt past
three O'Clock, P. M. the BarS-house IN the tan
yard, owned by Messrs. Ezra Kinney & Co.
was consumed by fire. Owing to the alacrity
of our citizens and the promptitude of the En-
CINE Companies, much other property was
saved from the devouring element. Pheir loss
is estimated at about 2 800 Dollars. The fire
was occasicned by the earelesshess OF servant

tional salary OF LSoO, sterling per annum. Of all
the prostituted journals in England, the quarterly
RerplC, with the O cepton perhaps oil Backwood s
Magazine, is more exclusively devoted to scurrility,
fasehood, and misrepresentation, than any other
periodical publication. Many have attributed the
foul language which flows from his pen, to his low
origin. But we need go no farther than the large
pensions which he enjoys, and the immense paro-
mage, gwen to his work, by the friends OF the
government, to find cause for his thus abusing
every thing that is praiseworthy, and honorable.
We regret to End that there are individuals in this
country, who are continually endeavouring to bring
the Quarterly Review into notice, by promulgatlng
its pesliferous doctrines. Such work, may be
allowed 10 have importance in the eyes Of the abet-
tors of tyrants and Of slaves, but it ought never to
occupy the attention of liberal minded men, who
boast Of the character Of freemen and actually live

FOE TIE WATcHMAN.

From the Americnn Watchnan Of Oct. 22d, 1922.
A QUESTION.-Belngo on one side of river
at an object c and wanting to know the distance to
two houses A and B whose distance asunder
knew to be 200 yards At c took the angle A C

The following is solution 10 the above question
which request the editor of the Waterman to in
sert in his useful paper.
Construction. Draw A B - the given distance
between the houses u 200 yds. at make the an
gle A TX the given angle at * 500, from A
draw A perpendicular TO A {, bisect A in L and
from draw Z perpendicular to A B meeting
A G in 6, then will A or B represent the radius
of the circumscrbing circle. With A or & B as
A radius describe the segment A n B which seq
ment will contain an angle equal the given angle
A c. go (Euc. 49, 3.) on erect the perpendi-
cular b equal the perpendicular let fall from the
angle c on A equal 100 yds draw o & parallel
to A cutting the periphery Of the segments A N
D in c. Join C and b c, then will the angle A
c B equal the given one equal SO0 and A or B C
represent one of the required distances and c or
c the other distance according as the station is
nearer A or B.
Calculation. In the right angle bangle A L g
are given all the angles viz: A L = 9O0 A e
equal A C B equal 80 (Euc. 90. 81 consequently

dcular c D.; let fall from C to A B in h, hence ii
follows that d is parallel to E and it is also equal

equal 100 - II .6598 equal S2.S672. Join c now
in the right angled triangle 6 given the by
potenuse 6 c equal radius of the circle equal A e

In order to construct the figure, first lay off the
base A b GOO yards) which bisect by perpendi-
cular, calling the point of intersection H. From
the point H, lay off on the perpendicular, part of
II X equal to the given perpendicular Goo yards);
and through the point K, draw an indefinite line
parallel to the base A B. Then from The point b.
draw line making with the base A b, an angle
equal to the difference of the given angle (8Oo), and
a right one: this angle being acute, will meet the
perpendicular bisecting the base in a point,
which call q. With o as a centre, and radius
% B, describe circle, meeting the parallel to A b
passing through X in and C; which shews that
these are two solutions to the question. Join the
points A. B, C, and respectively, and demit per-
pendcular from c, on the base A b, meeting it in
d. Then is A B or the triangle required
For the angle G B at the circumference is equal
Ito H 0 B, which is half the angle at the centres;
but the angle Fl o B, is equal to the difference be-
tween the angle H o, and right one, that is
equal to the given angle (S0O); consequently G
is equal to the given angle, and the perpendicular
C d is equal to H K, the given height 600 yards)
The calculation is as follows; In the right anged
triangle H 0 B, all the angles together with the
side H being known, o H may he found, which
subtracled from K II will give . K. The two right

pliment of C o K, which is therefore known; also
The angle 0 at the centre is equal to the angle
C B at the circumference, standing on double the
arc; but the angle C is the difference between
the unknown angles, consequently we have the sum
and difference of the two unknown angles, from
which they may be found. Then all the angles are

OU1R1GE.--We understand, that man OF
the name Of James Bell, journeyman sadler by
trade, a lew days since passing through the turn
pike gate kept by Mrs Mason on the Newport road,
near this borough, in the most unprovoked and in
decent manner, insulted and abused her, and final
ly as she was in the act Of opening the gate, made
blow at her with his whip and struck her across
the shoulders. Not content with this display of his
courage towards respectable & inoffensive female,
the hero went out to Mrs Mason's on the following
day, and renewed the scene of insult, and among
other outrages, destroyed cradle, in which an in
FAINT was lying, at the hazard of its life We are
further informed that on Monday warrant was issu-
ed for the apprehension of Bell, but owing to some
isnguar circumstances which we have heard, but
can scarcely credit the fellow escaped 1t has been
stated to us, that Bell had taken refuge in public
house in this place, and that when The officer wen
to the house, Tor the purpose OF executing the war
rant, the landlord refused to permit any search ane
by his interference ard protection of the offender
enabled him to escape to Philadelphia the next day
II this statement be correct, the conduct of the
landlord is little less criminal than that OF Bell, and
I'VE trust that so fragrant breach of public justice
on his part will not be overlooked by the Grand Jury
Of the county.
