Impostare-An impostor was brought into this town
on the 18th Nov. who declared himself to be Jesus
Christ and that he had recently come from Heaven
on purpose OF Judging the world which was shortly to
be at an end. He attempted proving his divinity by
showing the prints of the nails on the several members
OF his body. His judgment here was rather nonsutet
Tor the citizens invariably believed him to be not only
an mpostor but felon, whose actions at some period
had merted acquaintance with hand cuffs and fet-
tiers.
Tins strange prodigy is remarkably expert in quot
ing scriptures. and is not without followers as might
ne expected lie has erected his throne for the pur-
pose of Judging the world on Leaherwood about sew
en- miles from this place. where he has been for about
lVe weeks On the 10Th inst he assembled his throne
with all the pomp and presumption Imaginable and
commenced the execution of his mission On the
same evening, after having suspended his Judgments
he repaired to tie house of one of his followers who
accompanied him to this pace,l where all his prose-
ytes, about twenty, were collected for the sole pur
pose OF worshlppng him. AT his presence they i'm
Inedlately prosraed themselves at his feet calling him

Of manufacturing and mechanical industry, are visible,

this State. That place, twenty years ago. scarce

Improved Threshing Machine.-We some time
since called the attention of agricultural friends
to a machine for threshng Rice, invented by our
townsman, Mr. Elias b. Hort, which at the time of
our notice was in state, having been put up
merely for the purpose of demonstrating the princi-
piles of its construction, and the advantages of its ope
ration. We have recently had the pleasure of seeing
one of these very useful machines in complete state
which is intended for the estate of the late amented
Gen. Thomas Pinckaey, who little while previous
to his death ordered it to be built. better recon-
mendation cannot well be offered than to say that
General Pinckney highly approved of the invention,
and expressed his conviction of its great utility.

SUBSTITUTE FOR RINGING SWINE.

To prevent swine from digging in the soil, the best
method is TO cut the tendons of their shouts with
sharp knife, about an inch and half from the nose
This may be done with little pain, and no prejudice to

The common practice of restraining them by rings fix
ed in the snout, is painful and troublesome they
must be replaced as often they give way, and that
happens so frequently, that rings afford but little secu-
rity against the nuisance.
BY pressing down the snout, the tendons which give
it fexibity and power is easily discovered, and sin
gle prick with sharp knife it, and leaves the
hog without the power of roofing forever after. The
experiment is readily made.-American Farmer.

DUNDAs AND THE BARBER.

Before Henry Dundas, afterwards Lord
Melville, had obtained the patronage of Scot
land, hewas not very popular with the natives
of that country: indeed the inhabitants of the
good town of edinburgh at one time sought
his life, and would have sacrificed him TO their
fury, for having been concerned in certain
measures to which the general opinion was
opposed.
In this state of the publick mind, he made
a visit to the Scottish capital, and being one
day recognised walking on the north bridge
or mound he was surrounded by an immense
mob, who hustled him in very rude manner,
and made preparations to throw him over
the parapet. Luckily he happened to have
considerable quantity of money in his
pocket, in the shape of notes and silver,
which he had the presence of mind to throw
alternately among them, so as to divert their
attention whilst he ma de all possible way to
the mansion of the Lord Provost, where, af-
ter great difficulty, and having disposed of
his last shilling, he arrived, and found refuge
and protection.
The mob increased, however, and sur
rounded the chief magistrates house, crying
ivehemently "Put out Dundas put out Dun
das," and behaved otherwise in very riotous
manner. At length, the provost, fearing
that they would proceed to extremities, came
out and addressed them on the duties of
hospitality, and on the ancient and uniform
character of the Scots for the exercise of
that virtue and concluded by saying, that
he himself would prefer falling victim to
their fury, rather than eject any person who
had sought the asylum of his roof" This
was an appeal which no Scotchman could
withstand, more particularly as it came from
a man whose amenity of character and mild
disposition had rendered him generally be-
loved. Having given the provost three
cheers, they quietly dispersed.
Whilst he remained in Edinburgh on this
occasion, Mr. Dundas took care not to show
himself again in the streets, but soon took his
departure for London.
Soon afterwards being obliged to revisit
his native country, and knowing the storm
had blown over, he met with very odd adj
venture, but one which terrified him equally
if not more so, than that on the NORTH
Bridge. 1t seems that he had recently beer
accessory to some other publick measure
not, however, of such general importance as
the former one it was such as to keep alive
the publick feeling, though not sufficient tt
i blow it into actual flame. In this state o
things he arrived at an hotel in Edinburgh
and next morning sent for barber to shave
him.
The Tonsor, who happened to be wag
on entering the room, saluted Mr.. Dundas
and welcomed him to Edinburgh. Thel
having decorated him with an apron, he be
gan to lather his face, during which opera
ton, he cast upon him several scowling an,
penetrating glances, the meaning OF whlcl
the stranger could not well comprehend. A
! length, flourishing his razor, he said, IN
sharp, and stern voice.
