Much credit was certainly due to that enter
prising company, for the extremely neat and
workmanlike appearance of the plates engra-
we'd by them for the North Providence and
the Providence County Banks. 1t is well
known that the great competition which has
arisen in this branch of art, within a few
years, has caused very considerable reduc-
tion in the price of the work, while it has, at
the same time, induced the necessity for finer
and more elaborate specimens. The effect
ofthis has oeen to require larger invest
ment Of capital, the procuring Of more accu-
rate and extensive apparatus and machinery
than before, while it has rendered it more di-
iicut for newly formed company to com.

GREENLAND.

This northern region OF the American CONT
tinent is now believed to be an island. 1t was
long supposed TO be part Of the continent, on
count of its contiguity TO it but the discoveries
of Captain Parry from Eng land, made in BafIin's
bay, IN 1919, render it pretty certain, that it is
separated from the continent. 1t is said TO ex-
tend from latitude sixty, to seventy eight. Da-
vis's straits and Bafins bay, lie on the west of
Greenland. a high and PERCEPTIONS range of
mountains, running north and south, divide the
eastern and western settlements, and they are
passable.
The history of the settlement Of Greenland is
not very fully known. But there is proof, that
ii was made by companies from Denmark and
Norway eight hundred years ago, or in the elev-
enth century OF our era. Its discovery by mari
time adventures from Scandinavia, (thc north
of Europe,) was probably at even an earlier
date. One Of the companies settled on the cas-
tern, and the other on the western part of the
island and had little intercourse with each other
what they had was by water. The sufferngs Of
these people must have been very great; and it
is matter of wonder that they should have wish
ed to remain in such cherries region. The
settlements on the eastern shore Of the island
were IN state of comparative prosperity in the
year 400. But no account has since been given
OF them. In the early part OF the present century
the eastern coast of Greenland has been visited
but no Inhabitants were to be found, though there
are marks of its former inhabitants, in the clear
cd fields and remains of houses, utensils, &c.-
IN the iouiteehth century most ueauly Prague
is known to have prevailed over the western
parts, so as TO prevent all intercourse with Ice
land and Norway. And, at that period, it is
probable the inhabitants of the eastern coast
were cut off.
Early in the last century, the western coasts
Of Greenland were visited by Danish ship, with
clergyman. They found race Of people there
similar in their language and customs 10 the Es-
quimaux of Labrador and who were supposed
TO have come from the region west of Dayis's
straits. This race Of men had taken up their
residence the western coast Of Greenland,
which is washed by Davis straits, and which
was before in possession Of the colony from Nor
way. The Moravian missionaries have since
visited that part Of Greenland where il is said
their services have been useful TO the ignorant
| and degraded inhabitants. The dissmilarity Of
these people TO most other Indian tribes on this
continent has puzzled antiquarians; and il is diff
fcult TO trace their origin
! The inhabitants of Greenland clothe them
/ selves with the skin of wild beasts and build
J their huts partly under ground, TO shelter them
from the cold blasts of winter. In so high a lat
itude, they have scarcely four months OF comfort
able warmth. They seem merely TO live; and
as for true enjoyment, for social refinement, and
/ improvement i'll the civilized arts OF life, they
are entirely ignorant ofthem. Amer Nag

EApH GRTMEs.-Some 80 or 40 years since,
there lived IN the heart Of this Commonwealth
a notorious character by the name and style of

whose whole study and delight was mischief
One day Eaph took it into his head TO disturb the
Court of Justice, towards which he harborcd en-
nifty for having on former occasion caused his
cars to be cropped on the pillory, and with this
view mounting his horse with boots and spurs,
and pressing the latter into the sides of his steed
rode him iuriously into the court then sitting on
the ground floor Of the old Court house, driving
the court, bar, and and jury, from their peaceful
seats and filling the house with terror and con-

with all his might, cried out "wo, wo, you law
less devil, I'll see that Justice is done you il
