 I distrihuled several parcels of the seed in dif- 

 ferent parts of the town, which were phmted in 

 different soils; and a* far as I have heard they 

 are doing well. 1 helieve the land in this place 

 would hear woad in ahundance ; and the expe- 

 diency of introducing the cultivation of it on an 

 extensive sc-ile, must depeinl upon the exjiense 

 of preparing it, and the price it bears in the 

 market. P. G. S. 



TO MAKE ITJL1A.\ CIIEF..SE. . 



A pint of cream, a teacup of while wine, juice 

 of two lemons, !) teacup full of isini;lass ; sweeten 

 it lo your taste, mix the ingredients with Ihc 

 cream, put it into a cidd bason or what other 

 shape you please, and turn it out the next day. 

 The is njlass must lie boiled, strained, and put 

 into the other things when cool. 



N. B. All ounce of isinglass in two cups of wa- 

 ter boiled tiil it comes to one. 



TO PREVENT CHIMNIES FROM TAKING FIRE. 



The pargering mortar (so called by masons,) 

 for plastering the inside of chimnies, mixed as it 

 generally is with lime, sand and horse manure, 

 made into mortar ; let there be a pickle made m 

 salt and water nearly as strong as that you use 

 with meat, and the mortar wet with it inslpad 

 of pure water- salt sand and sea-water, when' 

 it can be had, will answer the same end to mix 

 with the lime and horse manure. Chimnies pla- 

 tered with this composition, on every damp oi 

 rain, will grow moist, and the snot will fall off 

 without any inconvenience. This may be reli- 

 ed on, and the expense is so trifling, no one 

 should hesitate to do it, for it can do no harm al 

 ail events, and it may save houses and towns. 



^ew and important Invention. — Messrs. Eben- 

 ezer and John Prcnliss of this town, have inven- 

 ted a machine for Moning, by winch a man and 

 a boy with a horse, will cut as much grass it, 

 six ol the best mowers, and as smooth. The 

 machine was lately tested in presence of sev- 

 eral gentieiasn^ and we Uoderstund more than 



ro:ili;;i'd llie expecl.ilions of the in\ eiilors. it 

 perlorms eipialiy v\ ell on uneven or even ground.

 ami ?|iinitle, siiilable to atiarli to two or three runs of 

 'iiilt s'.oufcs on one tioiizoalal wlieel. 



S^t'W Mt-.tal. — A new metallic conip(»sitInn has late- 

 ly bi eii invented l^v 'Jr. Gciii.ir, au able chyniist in 

 -a\oiiy, (he properties of which clostly restaible those 

 olsilvtr. It is iiiaiic ,'le, is not subject to rust, ai.d

 candleslicks, spurs, ikLr. and will in all probability

 upwards of .'JOO men are now eug-age ' in loading this

Hiiyti. — France ha? formally acknowledged the in- 

 dejitudence of the republic of Hayti. and the g-overn- 

 nient of l*ar ti. in considera'ion of this acknowlerlgment, 

 lias as;reed to pay a large sum to (he French colonists, 

 who formerly (.ossessed estates in that island. This is 

 I he first Christian nation of colored people that hasevir 

 been recognized as independent. 



Ktnav cipatictn. —Tht^ gentleman who lately emanri- 

 paVrl i',!i slaves is Mr. IJavid Minge, of Charles City 

 co"n(y. Va. The value of these slaves at pie«ent pri- 

 es is'j;^6,0U0, and Mr. M. expended about JMO ' in 

 chartering a vessel to convey them to Hayti, and in 

 purchasing provisions, articles of husbandry, &c Me 

 also dislribnted to them as they were about to go on 

 board above 600 dollars, intcndini; that each individual 

 should receive seven dollars.

 cipaled 60 slaves and made provision foi th> ir remov- 

 al and support. 



A lady in IJourbon county, Ky. lately deceased, pro- 

 vided by will for the emancipation of her slaves, 40 in 

 niijnber. 



Thf hnnilon Jimrnevmen Tailors hAve fcfered into an 

 alliance offensive and defensive against the ladies — all 

 hands have turned out, and refused to touch thimble, 

 g^ose, or bodkin, until the masters refrain from giving 

 any portion of their work to females, 



Sfvgtilnr accident. — A short time since, a young ladv 

 in Swanzey, while engaged in a faclory, had the mls- 

 forlune of being completelv scalped. Her hair caught 

 in sonie of the machinery, by which she was raised sud- 

 deiilv from the floor to the height of two or thrte feet, 

 when the skin on the back of her neck was instantly 

 rent, and stripped over Ijer head quite to her forehead, 

 taking off all her hair, and leaving her scull entirely 

 exposed and bare. The operation was so quick that 

 she did not realize any pain (ill some time after the 

 accident happened ; nor has the pain at any time since 

 been so excruciating as might have been expected. — 

 Phf Is in a fair way of recovery, and will probably be 

 soon restored to her usual slate of health. — JV". Bed, pa.

 have furnished evidence to the Adjutant General that 

 they were in the battle of Bunker-Hill, is 141. The 

 bounty of the State was never better bestowed than on 

 these worthies.
