tain the States themselves will never undertake
it;-it is equally certain that individuals would
not embark in so Improbable all enterprise, as
the road would only be used about three months,
and for the rest of the year would lie idle. The
Steamboats, monopolize the whole travelling
in the spring.summer and fall. 1t is matter
then. which concerns mostly the United States
mail, and in the regular and speedy transmission
of the mail every individual in the country is more
or less interested. Is not this road, therefore, in
tie strictest sense ofthe term. National road!
And if it is National road, why do not the Ma
tons Representatives attend To the Nations In
terest and keep the National highways in better
ordsrl
All the harm we wish to the Representatives of
the Sovereign people is, that they might each and
every one be compelled to ride from Baltimore to
Philadelphia when the state of the road will not
permit, as is sometimes the case, with the utmost
exertions, the accomplishment Of the journey in
less than forty-eight hours. In the summer sea-
son. it can be performed in ten. We would re.
commend an insurance against broken limbs. and
an extra supply of stock Of patience, before COM
mencing the ride at this season Of the year.

- DR.. Brocklesby, who was perhaps best
known as the medical friend of Johnson, was, as
the then Duchess of Richmond herself used to
relate, sent for to see her woman, who was so Ill
as to be confined to her bed. In the hall he was
met by the Dukes valet, who was the voman's
husband, and who, either by nature or locality,
was as warm politician as the doctor. Public
affairs being then peculiarly critical, they became
so interested in debate, that the patient was lit
tie thought on as they assembled the stairs, nor
did the conversation relax when they reached the
sick woman's chamber. In short, they both quit
ted the room, returned down stairs, and the doc
tor quilted Richmond house, without either OF
them being aware that they neither had looked al
the patient, or spoken 70 her, or Of her."
"Of another DR.. schonberg. it is told that he
obtained an English plum pudding at Paris by
throwing the recipe Of an old cookery book into
the form of prescription, and sending it to the
apethecary to be made up. To prevent all pos.
sibility OF error, he directed that it should be
boiled in cloth, and sent in the same cloth, to
be applied at an hour specified. At this hour il
arrived, borne by the apothecary's assistant, and
preceded by the apothecary himself, dressed, &C.
cording to the professional formaIity of the time,
with sword. SEEING when he entered the a,
partment, instead of signs Of sickness, table
we'll filled and surrounded by very merry faces,
he perceived that he was made party in a joke
that turned on himself, and Indignantly laid his
hand upon his sword; but an invitation to taste
his own cookery appeased him, and all was well. y

IS At the commencement of the American war,
Mr.. Grenville, then in power, wishing to know
how the quaker colonists stood affected, sent a
message to DR.. Fothergill, intimating that he
was indsposed, and desiring to see him in the
evening. The doctor came, and his patient i'm
mediately entering on the popular topic Of Amer
lean affairs, drew from him the information he
wanted. The conversation held through large
portion Of the evening, and il was concluded by
MIR. Grenville's saying he found himself SO
much better forthe DOCTORS visit, that he would
not trouble him to prescribe. In parting, Mr.
Grenville slipt five guineas into the Doctors
hand, which Fothergill surveying, said with a
dry arch tone, 'Atfh rate, friend, will spare
thee an hour now and them"
