HAS Lately received a number of article;;

remarkable bird called the Cut-water, or fcif
ars-bill; The Avofette, commonly called the
Shoe-maker, because of its bill resembling a
crooked awl—The Long-leg.*, commonly call
eJ the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs,
in proportion to the fire of the bird, of any of
i he feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, coromoo-
W failed mother Cary's chicken—The Sea
fwallow, and various Gulh ; betides a variety
ol Cranes, Curlews, Snipes, See.
The scull of a Whale and one of its Vertebres.
An Indian hatchct made of chiyßal : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the arts, and being
ignorant even of the existence of iron and steel,
ftiould be able to form such hard fubftan«es in
to fanciful forms as this, and othir Indian ma
nufactures now in the Museum.
A lignified Quince : The specimen (hews
what a rcmaikable effect a dry warm (ituation
has on fruit. It is now about 8 years Gnce it
was gathered ; and 1 1 was a real quince, now be
come wood, at lead in appearance.
Presented by Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown,
S. C.—a tool used by the O'.aheitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
instrument of wood, it produces the ribs which
resemble threads : the perfc&ly straight and
equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by
men without the use of iron,are curious & won
derful.
Also, a rope made of grass, part of> the rigg
ing of a vessel of Kamfkatka.
Presented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in spirits : when this fifh was found, a number
of ftoncs were appended to firings or ligaments
that proved from the front of its head,which
occasioned a conje&ure, as it is not furniftied
with fufficient fins to refill the violence of the
tide and currents, that it fattened with these li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so
that the stones answered the purpofeof anchors
and the ligamentsof a glutinous sticky nature,
that of cablet. Some of the (tones are in the
fame phial.
A coiledion of Minerals and other Fossils-
» r e now displayed in drawers covered with glass
and in a mode which will feeure them from de
raugement. To each fpccimen are affixed refe
rences to a book of descriptions. This manage
ment of specimens of the Fossil kingdom, ren
ders this part of the Museum very convenient
and fatisfa3ory,and great attention will be paid
to the systematical order of them, and in mak
ing the necefTary essays of each : Also in giving
in a concise manner, the various uses they are
applied to ; thereby rendering them the more
interesting to the public.
A Living Elk, of ztycm old, is just receiv
ed. By the account which monf. Buffon gives
of the Elk, it appears that he was not acquaint
ed with this American animal; he particularly
omits all notice of the curious apertures adjoin
ing the eyes of this Elk.
George Bringhurft,
COACH-MAKER,
In Mulberry (Arch) between Fourth and Fifth
Streets, adjoining the Episcopal burying
ground,
TAKES this opportunity of returning his
grateful thanks*to his former employers,
and requesting their future favors, as well as
tbofe of the public in general.
He continues to make and repair at the
(horteft notice, all kinds of pleasure carriages,
such as coaches, chariots, phztons with and
without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte
reens, windsor fulkeys and chairs, and barnefs
of e vory description, in the neatest and newest
fafhion now prevailing in the United States.
And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned
wood by him, and capital workmen, he has
not the lead doubt but he will be able to give
fatisfa&ion to those whopleafe to employ him.
He has for fate, several carriages altnoft
finifhed, such as coacbee*, an Italian windsor
chair, hung on steel springs, a light phzton for
one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling
top.

country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T. Dobfon, foJicits the favor
of the fubfcrsbers to call or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poilible.
The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public; but as it makes
its appearance in an impcrfeft state, some ac
count of the reason of that iraperfe&ion fliould
be given. On the Bth of September last, the
Publisher had the misfortune of having his
Printing-Office burnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity of his printing materials destroyed,
and among other articles, the figukes, with
which he was printing the tables or lo
garithms, belonging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, be was under the necessity of pub
lilhing the volume without these taeles; but
hopes ic (hall be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for-
wardnefs.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling bis grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes the li
berty of representing to fucb of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neccflity of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes a*
early as possible after publication, and of pay.
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
feribers having got only one, two, three, L'c.
volumes, and several volumes remain vnp aid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different ftagei
from the commencement; and though rbe im
portance of a* few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles ukpmd lays the Pobliflier under
very serious embarrailment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For tbefe reasons the Publiiher finds him felt
under the necessity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.
