FROM THE COLOMBIAN CENTINEL.
THE REQUEST.
Xf£ Lambkins that fporton yon mountain's green fide,
With a fleece that's as white as its-snow,
From your grazing O turn for a moment aiide,
And then bleat a' foft echo to woe.
Ye warblers that soar on the wings of the air,
That distend with foft rapture the throat,
Let pity induce ye to hear a fond prayer,
And O ! lend to my sorrows a note.
When Delta once fmil'd I were happy as ye
We alike'were exposed to fate :
The Jleel of detraction was aimed at me,
And malice spread fnarts for my feet.
Alike have we felt the keen pang of distress,
For the Lamb to the altar is bound,
The youug have been torn from your tender caress,
And my Delia has cruelly frown'd.
Go seek the fair Maid, ot-er till and o'er dale,
In her ear go and whisper )mr pain,
She'll certainly pity; then tell her my tale,
And O, mark if (he pities again.
But Ihould you not know her, if thousands you find,
By these tokens diftinguilh your choice,
You'll view all your innocence ftampt on her mind,
Hear your mnlic excell'd by her voice.
FROM THE CONNECTICUT COURANT.
TANNED Sheep Skins at this day are in great
demand for a variety of ufes—bnt for want
of proper attention in taking off the wool, the
ikin is ft)any times so far injured as scarcely to
be worth dressing. The following method will
he found beneficialAs soon as the Ikin is ta
ken off the (heep's back, spread it on a horse or
cow, and in fix or eight hoars the wool will come
better than in any other way. After the wool is
off, spread the ikin on a pole, and let it hang in
the ihade (as the fun writ be very detrimental to
it) till convenient to fend it to a tanner. This
practice will render (beep skins of four times the
value they now are, and save thousands of pounds
to the country in a short time.

On the 6th current, a coroners inquest was
held 011 the body of a young Negro woman, late
the property of Samuel Hunt, at the Prelbyte
rian church at Maidenhead, where it had been
sent the preceding evening for interment—the
coroners inquest reports that her death was oc
casioned by a most barbarous and inhuman whip
ping, inflicfted by her said matter, which flie sur
vived but a few hours—the a<ft was committed
by liim and a connection of his by the name of
Elias Hunt, under the diredion and fuperin
•tendance of Mrs. Hunt, wife of the said mailer ;
we hear they are all confined, and no doubt but
they will have a fair and impartial tiial.
