We beg leave to call the attention of our citizens
generally, to the advertisement of Messrs. YATES &
M'INTYRE. Those enterprising gentlemen have
contracted to draw the Delaware Lotteries, the pro-
ceeds arising from which, will be appropriated to-
institutions in this State, vz-l'he Newark College,
Middletown Academy-lmmanuel Church, New.
castle, and ST. Peters Church, in this Borough
The scheme presents equal, if not superior, atrac-
ons, to any now before the public, and is without
doubt the richest and most enticng pro.
duced In Delaware. As plant of our own sol,
The fruit whereof will be ornamental and useful to
our State, it ought and trust will be peculiarly
cherished by Delawarans. We are happy 10 stale
that the managers have already disposed OF very
large number of the tickets, which now for sale
in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and many other
of our principal cities and towns. This circum
stance, together with the we'll known punctualy
with which Messrs. YATES & M'INTYRE have
always drawn their Lotteries according to appoint
ment, leave no room doubt that the first class Of
The Delaware State Lottery will oe drawn on the Sd
of August next, as advertised.
We are well aware that many Of our most esti-
mable citizens are decidedly opposed to Lotteries.
These should recollect, however, that many equally
estmable as themselves, approve Of and encourage
them that they are sanctioned by law, and always
intended to promote laudable objects; and that as
ireemen We all have right to do as We please, SO
long as we violate not the laws of the land. Let
all be willing to live and let live. And success, say
we, to all lawful and reasonable means calculated to
improve the minds, enrich the purses, and adorn
the soil, of Deawarians.

We are informed that Saturday last the steam boat

The above is given has been represented to If
the statement is inaccurate feel bound to correct it
whenever better informed But if it is true ought not
some of our brother editors in Philadelphia to feel chea
in view of the fact when they call to mind the unqualified
assertions they avished the artificial habor its be-

safest that could be chosen?

Interesting Trial. -.

The New-York American contains an inter-
esting report of the trial of John Reid, who
few weeks since attempted TO poison a
family in that city, of the name Of Carol.
The trial commenced on Tuesday, and &C.
cupied the Court until Friday morning.
MIR. Maxwell opened the case in an able
speech, in which he detailed the various cir
cumstances connected with the case, and the
probable cause OF Reid's malignity. 1t would
appear, he said, from the testimony of a wit
ness, whom if necessary they could produce.
that an infant OF tender years, living in the
same room with Reid, and which had sudden
ly disappeared, had, at least if it died a
natural death, been improperly disposed Eff
Mrs. Carol, with the anxiety of mother,
went to Mrs. Robh, the mother of the child,
living with Reid, and communicated her sus-
picions. Mrs. Robb was much alarmed at
Mrs. Carols insinuatons, and begged her 70
desist from the inquiry, and not let it reach
the ears of Reid. By some means, however,
Reid became acquainted with Mrs. Carols
suspicious, and from that day he had COM
menced a series of secutions against this
unfortunate family, which had terminated as
would be shown by this base attempt at poi
son. After reminding the jury that the evil
dence in that case was altogether circumstan-
tial, and it would therefore be necessary to
weigh each fact with caution, MIN. proceed
ed to call
Ann Carol, who testified that she is the
mother of five children. On Sunday morning,
the 9th of January, witness youngest daugh-
ter, Mary Carol, rose with her father before
the rest of the family. Witness was in bed.
She heard the dog bark, and the child went
to the door, and shortly came running back,
and said, "Oh! mother, I've found basket
ofcakes." Witness supposed the cakes had
been given to the child by some of the neigh
bors, as she was great favorite; and took
the basket, and told her she might eat some
of them. The basket contained on top part
of a New-Year's cake, then some mullins, and
next some round hearts and cranberry tarts
The mullins were split in two, and buttered,
with some smoked beef on the butter. The
child took the cranberry tarts, and broke one
in two, and gave Fart of it to her brother, and
ate the rest herself Witness took a little of
the juice. The other tart the child divided
into four pieces, three of which she gave TO
her three sisters, and the other to her father,
who was in the yard. In few minutes they
were taken sick. Witness felt very sick at
the stomach, with pain across the breast, as
if she would tear to pieces. The children
retched, and were in great agony. Witness
continued retching until night. Doct. Ayres
came in about an hour, and administered for
poison. The taste was nsipid, and there was
a burning in the throat.
Doct Ayres testified that he was called up.
on to visit the Carol family, and found them
complaining of thirst, hoarseness, retchiug,

FOR A DAY OF
Public Fasting, Humiliation, and
Frazer.

OUR pious forefathers, at their first
settlement in this Commonwealth, moved by
deep sense of their constant dependence on
the Providence of the Almighty Ruler of the
Universe, scrupulouSly set apart, early in ev-
cry season, day Of solemn Fasting and Pray
er, to propitiate His mercy, and to supplcate
His support. A custom, thus consecrated in
its origin, has been religiously observed thro'
succeeding years; and the Executive of this
Commonwealth has invariably, at the APP
proach of every Spring, designated a day on
which all religious communities and individu-
ais were enloined to PROSTATE themselves, at
the same time before the throne of grace, to
acknowledge the insufficiency of their own
strength, and their manifold transgressions,
and to implore protection and forgiveness from
that Being by whom the very hairs Of our
heads are all numbered. Such custom we'll
deserves to be perpetuated; and feel that, by
the visitation of God in depriving this Com
monwealth of its late venerated Chief Magis-
trate, it has become my duty to cause it to be
solemnly observed.
| have therefore thought proper TO
appoint, and by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Council, do appoint, THURS
DAY, the seventh day of April next, to be
observed throughout this Commonwealth, as
a day Of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer ::
And lido request the Ministers and People, of
every denomination of Christians, within the
same, TO assemble themselves together on that
day, at theSrespectvc places of public wor-
ship, that we may, with humble and contrite
hearts, unitedly acknowledge before Almighty
God His numberess and unmerited bounties
and blessings to us and our ancestors; and
especially that, by His holy guidance, lie led
them from intolerance and persecution to this
western wilderness, to exercise and enjoy the
sacred rights of conscience That here His
worship should be restored to the primitive
purity and simplicity of the Gospel, aud tenn
pies reared to His Holy name, in which He
should be adored in spirit and in truth That
He taught them by His spirit to establish con-
stitutions of civil and religious equality and
liberty, under which the rights Of property
and Of persons are secured, and theinvaluable
blessings of the Gospel are freely enjoyed by
all, in their worship of the Deity according to
the dictates of their own consciences, with
none to modest or make them afiaid; That
He inspired them with wisdom 70 conceive,
and courage and strength TO achieve, the e.
Emancipation Of our country from aforeign and
oppressive yoke, and to devise and perfect
system and union of free governments, under
which we have been prospered ahvc all the
nations Of the earth; That He cat our lot in

transition into sacred estimation. This,
together with their custom of convey
ing ideas and sentiments of the divine
attributes, elements, or heavenly bodies,
by which hieroglyphics or figures Of
plants and animals, and applying that
sacred respect and admiration to the

the high generation they entertained for

From Noah's N. Y. National Advocate
" Shipped an Good Order"

"A year OF Two since, an enterprlZlng
farmer, in the land of " STEADY habits"
CHANGED TO raise on his annual turnip-
patch, a turnip of most extraordinary
and prodigious size. 1t occurred to JON
athan that this large turnip, which was
the marvel of the whole tc;vn and coun-
try, ought to be turned TO some better
account than to be given to the hogs, or
sold by the bushel. He had heard that
some of the literati of New-Tork had
done we'll by sending botanical speci-
mems as presents to the Emperor Alex
ander, and that his majesty, among 9th
.er valuables, had sent gold rings in ex-
change for less ponderous articles than
his turnip. Jonathan's mind was there
fore made up, that the great turnip
should be vegetable, and, he hoped, a
meet Offering to the Gar of all the Rus
sias. The turnip was accordingly sent
to St. Petersburgh, and in due time JON
athap received in return several valua-
Bile pieces of coin. His neighbors all
learned his good fortune, and one Of
them, emulous OF Jonathan's luck, soon
after, manufactured cheese of huge
dimensions, and dispatched it as pres
ent for the table of Alexander, and 10
the mean time, waited anxiously for the
resul. of the venture. The cheese was
even larger than the turnip, and the
neighborhood all thought it fair to con-
clude, that his majesty would make a
proportionable equivalent for the gift.
AT length ii was announced, vessel
had arrived at StoningtoD, bringing a
large box from Russia, for Squire Nor
gan, who sent the cheese last year.
The box, which was carefully sealed
and directed, was opened in presence of
all the family connexions, and goodly
number of the squirrels neighbors, and,
on removing the packing materials, in
stead Of the expected treasure, the
Great Turnip was discovered, which the
spectators Immediately recognized as
their old acquaintance; and Jonathan
declared, that, e for his part, he didn't
see but what the turnip had stood the
Wage darn'd welI'
