MISCELLANY.
EFrom the Delaware Gazette-l
MILL DAMS.

A gentleman who is well acquainted
with the business of constructing dams,
having, some days since, seen an article
in Poulson's American Daily Advertiser,
in which the wish was expressed, that
some person, who was capable of the
task, would furnish the publick with
description Of the best mode of building
them. in order to secure them against
freshets,s lch as that by which so much
injury mas recently been sustained, has
presented US with his views on the sub
ject, and we hope that by laying them
before our readers, we may be enabled
to render material service to our fell
Iow-citizens.
He observes that no particular mode
of constructing them will answer in all
places on the same stream. Nature
has sometimes rocks for abutnents and
a foundation; and where these are want
ing, the deficiencies Of nature must be
supplied by art. 1t will be obvious that
where stones are lasge and handy, dam
should be built Of that MATERIAL
Where this is the case, place should
be selected, if possible, where there
is a bed of rocks, which may answer
for the water to fall upon, and the dam
be built immediately above it,
This will prevents from being under
mined by the dashing of the water and
ice over the dam. II such a place cannot
be found, platform should be made of
timber, of pieces about 10 inches or a
foot square first laid cross-wise of the
stream, not in straight line, bat forming
curve against the stream and extend
ing from side TO side, then of cross-pieces
lengthwise Of the stream, of sufficient
length to form a foundation for the dam,
placed close together and boIted to the
first. About twelve feet from the lower
end of these, other pieces should be
again laid across, and securely fastened
down, and these last should form the
lower edge, Of the dam, leaving the low
err part for an apron for the water to
tall upon. This being done, pieces Of
timber should be continued to be laid
alternately across each other on the
upper part of the platform, the cross
pieces about four feet apart, aud the
width Of the platform gradually con-
tracted, 50 as to form an angle Of about
forty-6ye degrees on the lower side,
until il is brought to point at the top
Of the dam, and the interstices between
he various pieces Of timber filed in

Ne1o Certificate.


Having made use of sanderson's Cough Drops
in my family, and having been requested to ex-
press my opinion of their efficacy in the cure Of
coughs, hereby certify, that a daughter Of
mine was severely afflicted with a cough for a.
bout year previous to the summer of 1920,
during which time she was more or less attend
ed by several physicians; but, appearing to
obtain no relief, her life was despaired Of. Be-
ing informed of the great cures effected by An
dersen's Cough Drops, was induced to make
use Of bottle, and in the course of one week
only, she was greatly relieved of her complaint.
after using two bottles, she entirely recovered,
and now enjoys as good health as ever. From
my own experience, therefore, have no hesi-
tation in recommending these Drops to the
pubhck. MOSES KIMBAI.I..

PERcIvAL, the American Poet, who is
Teaping in.the praises of his coDotrymen,
throughout the Union, the fruits of his

Charleston yesterday in the Empress for

One of them is subjoined. 1t is bright

A gem that shone like Ere by night;

And dropp'd to sleep on the lonely height /;

A lump OF ice in the clear cold moon.

FROM PERU.

The following is an extract of LETT
ter received in this city from Span
ish gentleman at Peura, near Lima,
dated August 6, 1922. Mer. AdO.
"San Martin arrived at Guayaquil
on the Goth July; and having had aeon
ference with Bolivar, he returned on
the 28th-Hei is now on his passage to-
wards CaIlao, aud from the time that
has elapsed, we presume he will not
touch at Payta. The division of Peru,
composed of 1000 men, and the battal-
lions of Yaganeche and Civicas de
Guayaquil, are on bosrd.-We cannot
say whether Bolivar will spare more
troops.
81 have Just seen letter from Can't
on, mentioning the arrival of ship at
Pacarmayor with the intelligence of q
disturbance 20 Lima on the 28th, head
ed by the Marquis of Tore Tagle and
the Carriones. The Minister of State,
Monte Agudo, was arrested for endeav-
Oring to procure signatures to support
either his own coronation or that OF
San Martin. They accuse him of en-
bezziing two millions OF dollars, and il
is said he has declared Peru a sonfeder,
ate Republic with Colombia. This
great occurrence was preceded by the
coahagration of the palace, aud all the
papers of the ministers of war, revenue
and state, with only few exceptions OF
che latter, were consumed.
'By the post we learnt the great dis
content that reigned in Lima, the peo-
pie publicly complaining of the conduct
of their chiefs, who from desire of a
massing money had not already con-
cluded the war nor pacifed the csun'
try.
'sThe people of Lima, tired on one
side with the immense weight they
bore, and on the other excited by the
threats of Csntarac, have been reused
up, and some steps have been taken
Cantarac has his army in respectable
footing, and with the destruction of
upwards of 1000 men under the com.
mand of Domingo Tristan, at Yea, he
has so much weakened the power of
Lima, that in his prOclamatiOns he al
ready offers US pardon, if we wish to
avail of it in time.
