The scull of a Whale and one of its Vertebres. An Indian hatchet made of chrvftal : It is curious that those uninformed wild people, hav ing very little knowledge of the aits, and being ignorant even ol the extftence of iron and steel, (hould be able to form such hard substances in to fanciful forms as this, and other Indian ma nufa&uies now in the Museum. A lignified Quince : The specimen shews whit a remarkable effefta dry warm situation has on fruit. It is now about 8 years since it was gathered ; and it was a real quince, now be come wood, at lead in appearance. Presented bv Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown, S. C.—a tool used by the O.aheitans in making their baik cloth, by pounding the bark on this inttrument of wood, it produces the ribs which resemble threads : the perfe&ly straight and equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by men without the ufc of iron,are cutious Sc won derful. Also, a rope made of grass, part of the rigg ng of a veflel of Kamfkatka. Picfrnied by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib in spirits : when this fi(h was found, a number of stones were append<d io string* or ligaments that projected from the front of its head,which occafioncd a conjc&uie, as it is not furnilbed with fulficient 'fins to resist the violence of the tide and currents, that it fattened wi h these li gaments on whatever it found ai the bottom ; so that the stones answered the purpofeof anchors and the ligaments of a glut inous dicky nature, that of cables. Some of the stones are in the fame phial. A colli ftion of Minerals and other Foflils- a r e now dilplaycd in diawers covered with glass and in a mode which will feeut e them from de rangement.

A Living Elk, of 2 years old. is jtift receiv ed. Hy thi account which monf. Button 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 Street 1 ?, 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 thole of the public in general. He continues to make and repair at the shortest notice, all kinds of pleasure carriages, such as coache;, chariots, phaetons with and without Crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte reens, windsor fulkeys and chairs, and harness of every description, in the neatest and newest Pa Hi ion 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 least doubt but he will be able to give fatisfa&ion to those who please to employ him. He has for fate, several carriages almost finished, such as coachees, an Italian windsor chair, hung on steel springs, a light phaeton for One or two horses, and a lulkey with a falling top.

HENRY REES, Aminiftrator. January 13, Encyclopedia, Vol. X. JUST PUBLISHED, By THOMAS DOBSON, Bookseller, at the Stone House, in Second ftreet Philadelphia. VOLUME X. OF Encyclopedia ; or Dictionary Of A' ts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature, on a Plan entirely new ; Br WHICH The Different Sciences and Arts, are digejled into the form of Diftinft Treaties or Syflems : THIS volume contains principles of Levels, Liberty, Do&rine of Light, Lightning, Locks, Logarithms, Logic, History of Lon don, Longirude. Luther, Lydia, Macedon, Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, Hit tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland, Masonry, Materia Medica, Meadow, Mecha nics, with a great variety of Biograph cnl and Miscellaneous articles, illuitrated with Twen ty two Copperplates. A«s a number ot families are still in the country, and it is not generally known who arereturned. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor of the subscribers 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 imperfect state, some ac count of the reason of that imperfe&ion ftiould be iven. 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 figures, with which he was printing the tables of lo garithms, belonging to the prefeut volume, were melted down by the violence of the fire. As a supply of these could not be immediately obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub lilhing the volume without the e taples; but hopes he (hall be able to publilh them with the next volume wfcifihis now in conlidcrable for- wardnefs. The Publisher embraces this opportunity of exprefling his 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 rrprefenting to such of the subscribers at are in arrears, the indifpenfible necefCty of punctuality, both in takin* up ;he volumes as early as possible after publication, and of pay ing for them when taken. Many of the sub scribers having got only one, two, three, &c. volumes, and I'everal volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its different stages from the commencement j and though the im portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles unpaid Tays the Publisher under very serious embarraflmenr,and deprives him of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which at this time would be of very eflentialTer vice. For these reasons the Publisher finds himfelf under the neceflity of recurring to the original terms of publication, and in future no vo lumes will be delivered bur only to those who take and pay to the time of publication.
