THE public are requeued to take notice, that
the partnerihip which lifts for some time fub
fiftcd between Mathiat Slough of Lancaster, and
William Geer, is now diffolvcd: but, not as M.
Slough infinaateste the public without just cause ;
as will more fully appear by a letter on the fub
jeci from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th
December Ml. a recital of which is not now dcem
e4 necclfary. Any gentleman who wilhes to be I
more circumflantially informed of the merits of
this bufmefs, hy applying to W. Geer may have
the perofal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be
at full liberty to determine whether or not W.
Geer is not perfeAly juftlfiablc in attaching him
felf to any other pcrfon in the prosecution of the
Stage conveyance front Philadelphia to Shippenf
urg.or any other jdace.
Now from tbe liberal and generous support the
public were pleased to confer on the firft effort in
this business, T» illiam Geer, in conjunAion with
Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined
to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at
tention and difpatchthat a zeal to obligeth* pub

Cod; the lamps in which are to be lighted 011
the 15th inil. The light house i. on,
I land elevated abcut ijo feet, which with the e
levation oi the Lantern makes the who'eheighth
203 feet above high water mark. Jrt order that
this Light may be diftinguillied from the Boflon
and other Light* en ourcoafl, an Eclipfer is e
reiJled, which will revolve around the Lam£s
once in 80 fecondsfo that thelight will he near
ly excluded from the eye of the approaching
mariner about thirty seconds, in one revoluti
on of the eclipfer. To render the benuvolent
designs of Ctulfcrrefs »s «wten[ively ufeful as pos
sible, the Marine Society in Boston, by a large
Committee from their body, whole views have
been ieconded by others, have taken such dis
tances and bearings as ther thought neceflary ;
which obfervatious giving light and fafety are
for the benefit of all interested—and are
as follows
VcJels outward brund, from Boston Light
house, and would with to faltin with Cape-Cod
the course is E. S.-£. distance 15 leagues, thence
3 leagues to the Light house. When up with
the L ght-houfe and it bears S W 2 leagues dif
,' tance, you then fleer SS E which wjll carry
yo'i out of the south channel.
. Veflels inward bound, and fall in with the
back of Cape-Cod, bring the Light to bear S W
2 leagues distance. then you may fleer WNW
for Boflon Light-House.
IF you you would wish to go into Cape Cod
harbor, you may keep the (hore aboard about
a mile distant, wliere you will have 10 fathoms
water. Ther« is a bar lies oft" the back of the
Cape, about half a mile from the ihore.
When up with Race-point, which is very
bold, and about three leagues to theweflward of
the Light-house, and maybe known by a num
ber of fi(h houses on it, from 1 to 3 miles to
the southward of Race-point, is what it called
Herring Cove, where you rmy hawe good an
ehering half a mile from the (hore, tho wind
from E to N N E in 4 or even 3 fathom water.
If bound into Cape Cod harbor, your course
from Racerpointta Wood end, i< S S E 6 miles
distance, bring the light to bear E by N and
run for it about two miles, you will' then he
clear of Wood end—then you mult fleer N E
until the light bears E by S—then run >T W
f.r the harbor, until you have from 4 to 3 i-a
fathoms water, where you have good anchor
ing, the Light then will bear E by S i-» S 5 or
6 miles distance.
In running from the Race point to Wood
End—after you pass 1 the Black Land or Hum
mucks, you will come tip with a low fa»dy
beach, which forms the harbor j extending be
tween a and 3 miies to Wood-end, which it
difficult diftinguilhed in the night—lt is
bold—you will have aj fathom water
within half a mile of the ihore.
In beating into Cape-Cod harbor, you must
keep the eastern ihore aboard, until you get in
to 5 fatho/n water. Stand no farther to the
westward than to hring the light to bear E by S
at there is along spit of sand runs off from the
western ihorr, which being very bold, you will
have 11 fatHom water within a ftonce throw of
ihore.
I« cafe it blows so hard that you cannot beat
the harbor, you will have good anchoring
without, from 10 to 15 fathom water.
YeflVls in Boflon bay and would wifli to put
away for Cane Cod harbor, must endeavor to
falLjn with the Race. If in the night, and you
eannotfee the land, you must bring the Light
to bear E by N and *un for it until yon have
fnundiqjts in 14 or 15 fathom water, then fleer
north east until the Might, bears E by S then .-un
in Iff W for the harbftr.
v At full and change, it is high water off Race
Point at 10 o > cl9ck and 43 minutes. Veffeli in
leaving Cape Cod bound to Boflon, ihould cal

which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors
willingly engage to return the whole fare to any

will fay that he ever travelled in a stage for the tame
