ires. — On Sunday morning last, about 1 o'clock, a 

 -uctive fire broke out in a shed adjoining the sta- 

 of Capt. Andrew Morton, in Hawley Street, near 

 ity Church. The fire was soon communicated to 

 House occupied by Mr. Morton, which was much 

 ed. Likewise the out-houses, and the large brick 

 ling house, at the corner of Hawley and Franklin 

 ■ts, occupied by Mr. Samuel Billings, merchant, 

 Dr. John Jeffries, were consumed — the walls only 

 left standing. Fifteen horses, a cow, a new 

 n, a booby hut, six or eight sleighs, with the bar- 

 s, three tons of hay, grain &c. belonging to Mr. 

 on, were lost, together with most of the furniture 

 igiug to the dwelling house of Dr. Jeffries. Sus- 

 ns are cutertaiued that the fire was the work of an 

 ,diary. 



ihough the following article was published in the 

 volume of our paper, page 123, we think it may 

 le amiss to give it a second insertion at this time. 

 ips, by its immediately following an account of 

 lialamitous incident above stated, and which all 

 ill read, some men may be induced to remember 

 it may thus save some raluable lives. 



no to sate Horses from barns on fire. — Horses are 



ently burnt to death when barns or stables are on 



>wing to the impossibility of leading or driving 



out of the building, while their eyes are dazzled 



blaze. But we are assured that by simply cov- 



their eyes with a bag, a coat, or a pocket hand- 



ief, they may be led out of danger without trouble

is of the citizens and fire wards, were preserved. 



VrartU in the J^orthem Slates of America.'''' — By 

 thy Dwight, S. T. D. LL. D. &c.— " This wri- 

 as known in England about 30 years ago, by an 

 ; poem upon the Conquest of Canaan, and a de 

 ive one, entitled " Greenfield Hill," both repub- 

 in this country. — More recently his System of 

 lOgy has been repriatcd here, and with coaaider 



able success. But the work before us, though the 

 humblest in its pretensions, is the most important of 

 his writings, and will deserve additional \:duc from 

 time, whatever may become of his poetry and of his 

 Sermons." — Quarterly Keiiev, April 18'24. 



Sirau'herries. — A Trenton paper of the 12th inst. men- 

 tions, that nearly a half a biixhct of Si rawbtrries had 

 that morning been gathered in that place from a gar- 

 den, most of which measured from two and a quarter to 

 two and three quarters inches, and some three inches 

 and a half. 



A handsome compliment is paid to Capt. Jones, of 

 (he American frigate Constitution in the London 

 papers, for the assistance rendered by him in getting 

 off a British merchant vessel, which was driven 

 ashore in a gale of wind in the Bay of Gibraltar. 



NEW YORK, JCNE 19. Accidnnl. Yesterday 



morning about 7 o'clock, as two men were employed 

 in digging a vault in front of a new building rearing 

 in Franklin street, the earth caved in and completely 

 covered them. One of them, a mason, was taken 

 out in about 15 minutes, and revived. The other, a 

 laborer, who remained about two minutes longer, 

 and is supposed to have sustained some bosJily injury, 

 died soon after he was extricated. 



Letters from Washington montion, that funds have 

 been placed in the Bank of the U. S. in Philadelphia, 

 for the payment of the awards under the Florida 

 treaty, where checks to a large amount have already 

 been paid. One Insurance Co. in New-York gets 

 $105,000.— The city of Baltimore $600,000.— In 

 Boston, the amount of the claims is estimated at 

 nearly $1,200,000. Ccntinel. 



We learn from an intelligent young man who pas- 

 sed this place last week, direct from the Osage Na- 

 tion, that three of the principal persons engaged in 

 the murder of Major Welborn and party, had been 

 sent to Mr. Choteau's trading house, for the purpose 

 of being sent down in Mr. Choteau's boat, to be given 

 up to Col. Arbuckle, who, it has been before stated, 

 had twice demanded their surrender. Unfortunately, 

 however, they did not arrive until one or two days 

 after the boat started, and they have since returned 

 to the nation. — Our informant states, that the Osages 

 are greatly alarmed at the removal of the U. States' 

 troops to the mouth of the Verdigris, which is within 

 50 miles of their village, and expresses a decided be- 

 lief, that all the murderers will eventually be given 

 up, without a farther effusion of blood. Ark. Gac. 



The person who gave the above information, also 

 stated, that it was currently reported in Crawford 

 county, that some Creek Indians, who have intermar- 

 ried with the Cherokees, had recently murdered a 

 white man by the name of Hart. It is said, that 

 they had stolen some horses from him, and, on his de- 

 manding them, they took him into the woods, under 

 pretence of hunting the horses, and there murdered 

 him. 



We also understand from the same source, that 

 great numbers of the Cherokees are removing west of 

 the line intended for their western boundary, which 

 was run last winter by Capt. Shattuck. It is said 

 that more than one hundred families have removed 

 since the running of the line. — Arkansas Gaz. 



Rev. Alexander M'Clelland, late Prof, of the Phi- 

 losophy of Mind and of Belles Lettres in Dickinson 

 College, Pa. has been elected President of that Insti- 

 tution, in the room of Dr. J. M. Mason, resigned. 



The Hon. John QrijfCY Adams is appointed to de- 

 liver an Address before the American Academy of 

 Arts and Sciences, on this, or the next year ; and has 

 accepted the appointment. 



Improved Bridle-Bits William Zollikoffer, M. D. 



has invented, and intends getting a patent for an im- 

 provement on the common bridle-bit — well calculated 

 to prevent the horse from catching it in his teeth, as 

 some horses, more particularly vicious ones, are apt to 

 do — at the same time it gives to the rider more com- 

 plete controul over, and enables him to subdue the 

 fflosi wjruly animal. Ouc will be presented by the in- 



ventor to the Editor of the American J'armer, for pub" 

 lie inspection. 



GROSEILLE WINE, 



PUT up expressly lor families, in ktgsofe gallons 

 each, and delivered at any part of the city at 

 $5, 25 per keg. Also in ca«es of 1 dozen bottles, for 

 sale by the subscriber. 



This genuine and excellent article is made by Dr. 

 Benjamin Dyer, of Providence, who cultivates in one 

 field forty-fjve acres of Currant Bushes ; and it is the 

 opinion of men of medical science that the Wine made 

 of the Fruit of the Currant is f qiial, in all respects, 

 when old, to the best imported Wines. U is in flavor 

 much like the old Constantia, and wore it as dear and 

 not knoicn to be of home manufacture, no lamily in the 

 habit of keeping Wine would be without it. It has, in 

 several instances, passed off at parlies as foreign Wine 

 of the most delicious character; it exhilirates without 

 producing intoxication, and its effects are peculiarly 

 beneficial to costive habits, — .4s a Summer Beverage 

 it is not surpassed by anv otlu r.
