Pe ale's Museum, HAS Lately received a number of article* j among which are the following : That remarkable bird called the Cut-water, or fcif ars-bill; The Avofctte, commonly called the Shoe-maker, because ot its bill resembling a crooked awl—The Long-leg?, commonly call ed the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs, in proportion to the fire of the bird, of any of (he feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, common ly called mother Cary's chicken—The Sea fwallow, and various Gulls ; besides a variety oi Cranes, Curlews, Snipes, Scc. The scull of a Whale and one of its Vertebres. An Indian hatchct made of chrylial : It is curious that those uninformed wild people, hav ing very little knowledge of the arts, and being ignorant even ol the existence of iron and steel, should be able to form such hard fubftauces in to fanciful forms as this, and othir Indian ma nuta&ure* now in the Museum. A lignified Quince : The specimen (hews what a remarkable effect a 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 least in appearance. Presented by Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown, S. C.—a tool used by the Oiaheitans in making their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this instrument of wood, »t produces the ribs which resemble threads : the perfectly straight and equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by men without the use of iron,are curious & won derful. Alio, a rope made of grass, part of the rigg ing of a veflTel of Kamfkatka. Presented by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib in fpiriu : when this fifh was found, a number of Hones were appended to firings or ligaments that projected from the front of its head,which occasioned a conjecture, as it is not furnilhed with fufificient fins to rcfift the violence of the tide and currents, that it fattened with these li gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so that the (tones answered the purpofeof anchors and the ligaments of a glutinous sticky nature, that of cables. Some of the ltones arc in the fame phial. A collection of Minerals and other Foflils a*x now difplayc-d in drawers covered with glass and in a mode which will fceure them from de rangement. To each fpecimcn are affixed refe rences to a book of c>efcviptions. This manage ment of specimens of the Foflil kingdom,- ren ders this part of the Mufcum very convenient and fatisfa£tory,and great attention will be paid to the fvflcmatical order of them, and in mak ing the neceflary eflays of each : Alio in giving in a concise manner, the various uses they are applied to ; thereby rendering them the more intercftiug 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 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 those of the public in general.
