MATHEW CAREY,
At No. 118, Market Jireet,
A Larfre and Valuable
Among which are the followtig
Peale's Museum,
HAS Lately received a number of article;;
among which ate the following : That
remarkable bud called the Cut-water, or fcif
ars-bill; The Avofette, commonly tailed tbe
Shoe-maker, bceaufe ol its bill resembling a
crooked awl—The Long-legs commonly call
ed the Black-btt, having perhaps the longed legs,
in propoition to the fire of the bird, of any of
the feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, common
ly called mother Cary*s chicken—The Sea
fwallow, arid various Gulls ; bcfides a variety
of C»anes, Curlews, Snipes, See.
The scull «>t » Whale .ind one of its Vertrbres.
An Indian hatchet made of chryilal : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav-
ing very little knowl<sd£t aits, and being
ignorant even of the_eVift#iwe of iron and ftcel,
should be able to foi'm fwd> hard substances in
to fanciful Forms as this, and oth«.r Indian ma
nuf allures now in theMufeum.
A lignified Quince : The specimen (hews
what a remarkable effett a dry warm situation
has on fruit. It is now about 8 years fmce it
was gathered ; and 1 1 was a real quince, now be
come wood, at least in appearance.
Piefentcd by Mrs. Man (on of Charleftown,
S. C.—atoolufed by the O.aheitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
instrument of wood, it produces the ribs which
lefemble threads : the perfe&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 tigg
ing of a vessel of Kamfkatka.
Prelrnted by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in spirits : when this ftlh was found, a number
ol stones were appended to ftri»«>s or ligaments
that projr&ed from the front of its head.whfgh
occasioned a eonjefture, as it is not furnifhed
with fufficient fins to resist the violence of the
tide and currents, that it fattened wiih these li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so
that the stones anfwrred tbe purpofeof anchors
and the ligaments of a glutinous iticky nature,
that of cablet. Some of the Hones are in the
fame phial.
A coll« ftion of Minerals and other Foflils
a*e now difplaytd in drawers covered with glass
and in a mode which will feeure them from de
rangement. To each specimen are affixed refe-
rentes to a book of defesiptions. This manage
ment of specimens of the FolTil kingdom, ren
ders this part of the Museum very convenient
and fatisfa£}ory,and great attention will be paid
to the fyftcmatical order of them, and in mek
ing the neccflary essays of each : Also in giving
in a concise manner, the various uses they are
applied 10 ; thereby rendering them the more
intereftiitg to the public.
A Living Elk, of 2 years old, is just receiv
ed. By the 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 Brin-ghurft,
COACH-MAKER,
n 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
those of the public in general.
He continues to make and repair at the
shortest notice, all kinds of pleafiire carriages,
such as coaches, phaetons with and
without crane necks, co*hees, chaises, kitte
reens, windsor fulkeys and chaiis, and harness
of every defcription,in the neatest and new-eft
faftiion now prevailing in the United States.
And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned
wood by him, ard capital workmen, he has
not the least doubt but he will be able to give
fatisfaftion to those who pleafc to employ him.
He has for fak, several carriages almost
finished, such as coachees, an Italisn windsor
chair, hung on steel springs, a 1 igTit .phaeton for
one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling
top.
Carriages fold on Commiflion.

Encyclopedia,
JUST published,
By THOMAS DOBSON,
Bookseller, at the Stone Houle, in Secot:d
ftreet Philadelphia.
VOLUME X. OF
Encyclopedia ; or Dictionary
Of A ts, Sciences, and Mifcelianeotis
Literature) on a Plan entirely new j
Br WHICH
The Different Sciences and Arts,
are digejled into the form of
Diftindt Treaties or Syfteins :
THIS volume contains principles of Leve!s r
Liberty, Do&rine of Light, Lightning,
Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hiltory of Lon-
don, Longitude, Luther, Lydia, Macedon,
Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, Hil-
Tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland,
Masonry, Materia Medica, Meadow, Mecha-
nics, with a great variety of Biograph'cal and
Miscellaneous articles, illuifcrated with Twen
ty two Copperplates.
As a number ol families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T\ Dobfon, solicits tlie favor
of the subscribers to call or fend lor their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poiTible.
The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an itnpcrfeA (late, some ac
count of the reason of that iinperfection AionUl
be civen. On the Bth of September last, the
Publilher had the misfoitune 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, wiNi
which he was printing the tables op lo
garithms, belonging to the pre fen t volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not he immediately
obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub
lifhing the volume without ihefe tables; lmt
hopes he (hall be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in conliderable for-
wardnefs.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
expreflirtg 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 representing to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfiWe necessity of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes as
early as pofOble after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many oftlie fub
feribers having got only one, two, three, &:«.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its differentiates
from the commencement; and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher under
very serious embarrassment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential fervict.
For these reasons the Publilher finds himfeJt
under the neceflity of reciFring 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.
