nexion with one another, no caution is required,
in submitting them to the public eye, and to
withhold them, would be to keep out of sight
some of the strongest testimonies Of bis slngu-
lar virtue and patriotism. Another class OF let
ters which may be ranked under this head, are
those written to President Adams, Col. Picker
ing, and the other Heads Of Departments; and,
also, to Hamilton and Pinckney, during the two
last years of his life.
Parts Of this division will require good ma
ny notes, especially the letters to Ministers
abroad and the Members Of the Cabinet
These involve topics, that will need some fur
ther explanation than is contained in the letters
themselves, but which may often be derived
from the answers, and other documents The
records Of intercourse between the President
and the Departments, mentioned in my last let
Ter, will be consulted for the same purpose, and
also the official correspondence during Wash
lngton's Presidency, OH file in the office of Sec
reiary Of State.

The Committee upon all manufactured arti-
cles except those of Wool, Cotton, and Flax,
beg leave to submit the following
REPORT.
They are pleased to remark that, from the
number, beauty, and variety of articles exhib-
tied, they have no reason to fear diminution
Of interest in this department; indeed, they
believe each succeeding year furnishes new
proofs of Improvement The peculiar excel
lence of several articles, for which no premium
was assigned, has induced your committee to
award number of discretionary premiums,
which, they trust will meet with the approba-
ton of the Society Aware of the wide range
they are permitted to take, and frequently
meeting with uncommon instances of skill in
genuity, and improvement, they have given
small sums as proof of their commentator
and stimulus FOR future exertions
After candid and faithful examination Of
the articles before them, they have awarded
the following premiums
/ To Col. Jacob w. Watson of Princeton, for
4 the best manufactured Sole Leather, not less
/ than 100 lbs $40.
Six lots of Calf Skins were presented for
competition. Your committees after consider
able hesitation, awarded to Col Jacob w Wat.
son, of Princeton, for the best manufactured
Calf Skins, not less than ~ in number, $40.
| For the best manufactured Morocco, of goat
skins, not less than six in number, a premium
of So, to Charles Guiles, of Brookfeld
( OF Grass Bonnets, manufactured from fowl

were unanimous in awarding the premium Of

he extremely difficult to produce moro per-
feet specimen of this article of manufacture
and, while they recommend to them the discre,
tionary premium Of So, they heartily wish fol
them that share of public patronage which
such merit so richly deserves.

EFFECTS OF A FIRE ROTpi,E

Some OF our readers, perhaps, will hardly
believe thatln the twenty eighth year ofthts
nineteenth century, the following circum-
stances could have occurred. 1t is, however.
most true, and we regret to add, that the
superstitious ignorance to which it must be
ascIlbed, is only too prevalent among the
lower classes in this part of the country
The facts are as follows A poor woman,
the wife Off stoncmason, residing at Wood
house, lately became indisposed, and as he's
illness was not one apparently embraced in
the more ordinary nosclogy of the place,
she and her neighbors concluded that shs
labored under San evil wish" A century
or two back, the sufferer from this cons
plant probably would have been set down
as " be-witched," but in this improved ACE
it is only supposed that some evil disposed
person has wished or imprecated illness To
an obnoxious neighbor, and that by mvsti-
cal or preteInatural agency, the maledic.
ton has taken effect. Such an attack was
of course above the reach of mere medical
aai, and accordingly a celebrated doctor OF
nostrums residing at Bradford, was applied
to. This gifted physician for the customary
fee, prescribed that the patient should i'm.
mediately procure " fire bottle" to be us.
ed as we shall hereafter relate. The wo-
mans husband, in consequence, went on
Monday week to whitesmith, of the name
of Dennison, to make the above bottle.
which in all cases must be of wrought iron
and gunpowder proof. A bargain was
soon struck, and on the evening of Tuesday
week the magic work was finished, in
something of the shape and size of a Cham
payne bottle, with an iron screw to fit ae :
curately into it instead Of cork the sides
and bottom being half an inch thicfs
throughout.
The woman's husband arrived at his
friend, the whtesmith's, when all was COM
pleted, but to prove the bottle with gunpow-
der. As, however, no particularly miracu-
lous property was supposed to belong to
/ this MATERIAL more than any other which
would try the strength of the iron against
explosive substances, it was determined
either as matter of economy or CONVEX
fence, to substitute water. The hottie was
accordingly filed with water, the screw
fastened into its aperture, and the mouth
end put into the forge fire, while two mqrs
4 exerted the full power of a large bellows,
on what now became the olieOt Of. reyeI.

That the deaf and dumb can be so instruct
ed, as to be able to read and understand, is not
remarkable, because, words may as well repre-
sent ideas, through the organs of vision, as OF
hearing; but that one, who has always been
deGf, should be sensible of the harmony Of po-
etc measure, is very wonderful. Yet, that
such is the fact, is conclusivey proved by a
volume of poems, recently published, written
by James Mack, pupil of the New York Deaf
and Dumb RESTITUTION. The following is an
extract from one of the poems
WOMAN.
Earth thou art lovely-loveliest in this
BY woman-angel woman thou art trod -
Woman, the centre of our every bliss
To man the dearest boon receiv' d from God
Whom if creation were condemn'd to miss,
Chaos again his desolating rod
Ger the dominion he has lost, would sway,
And earth, with all her charms, become his
prey.
Earth thou art fair and glorious, but all
Thy beauty and thy glory are shade,
That low beneath the hand of time must fall
And Woman must thou too in dust be laid
All no the beauteous letters that enthral
The spirit, are only decreed to fade
The spirit on a seraph's glowing wing,
From earth shall to its native heaven spring.
Thine earthly shrine is but thy prison-still
Such loneliness is flung around thee here,
That, as it beams before mine eyes, they Fill
Mt times unbidden, with the tremulous tear
And through my bosom shoots a painful thrill
To think that aught so beautiful--so dear
Should to the hand of death resign IFS bloom,
a troDhV to enWreath around the tomb
