FROM THE BALTIMORE DAILY REPOSITORY. THE IMPORTANCE AND GOOD EFFECTS OF RIGHT INSTRUCTION IN YOUTH. TO rudr, mi<(hapen, craggy ftonrs, Good statuaries give A form divine, which makes us think That they indeed can live. So o'er the tender, flexile heart Of all .ingenuous youth, Is early culture's charming pow'r, To form their minds to truth. Hence native strength will be improv'd, And native faulis fupprcfs'd : So /Icademia's pleasant groves Their faithful vot'ries blefs'd. From Education's forming hand, The purpose and the vvill Of doing good to all mankind; And of avoiding ill. Hence Liberty, dearfacred name, Instills the strong desire, To live with her, to feel her rays, Or with her to expire. For, if we lose that noble boon, ('Tis fix'd by lawsdivin*) At once we fink beneath the brutes, And all our AOrih resign. No barrier will be ever found, No strength of laws prevail, To guard the People's sacred right?, If Education tail. From her we fcek, in her we find, The mofteffe&uai cure, For our depravity and ills, Which num'ious wc endure. Health, Patience, vig'rous Fortitude, Walk in her fmiliog train; And flow'rs spring where'er (he treads To cheer the dreary plain. GALLIPOLIS. THE settlers of Gallipolis are in great hopes of fucceedifig in making wine,—not of the exo tic vine, but oy cultivating the wild American grape. A lingular circumstance gave rife to these hopes. In the Ohio, immediately opposite to Gallipolis, is a sandy illand remarkable for the goodness of the wild grapes produced on it. They are juicj', the Ikin much thinner and (tone smaller thin the gtapes of the fame kind in the other parts of the country. This difference is attributed 1 to the effe«st of the ice in winter, which, when the river rises, sweeps over the island arid trims the vines. This coarse drefiing, though it happens at an unfavourable season of the year, together with the exposed (ituation of the illand to ihe direct rays of the fun, is conceived to be the reason of the fuperiority.of the grapes in this small fpor. Very palatable wine has already been made of these grapes, and when the hint is im proved upon, and a regular conrfe of cnlture be ftewed upon our native vine,( which it is the deter mination of the settlers to attempt) Scioto wine, who knows, may perhaps, one day supplant the Madeira on onr tables. ALBANY, Oiftober 27. We have it now in our power to congratulate the public, on the subject of the projected canal between the Mohawk river and the western Wood-creek, which has for some time engaged the attention of our fellow-citizens. The ingenious Major Hardenbergh, who was commissioned by government to explore this con nexion and report to the ensuing legislature, ar rived ill this city from thence a ihort time since. It appears, that this very important operation is not only practicable, but will be found very easy on the south fide of fort Stanwix, the dis tance in a dire<ft line between the two waters is one mile and two chains—the bed of the Mo hawk in that line being higher than Wood creek —the land so level that the depth of digging will not vary more than three feet above che com mon level. GOSHEN, November r A report, some lime current here, has been re lated vavioully : the following, however, we are inclined 10 believe, is nearly the truth,viz. That on or about the firlt of Octo'ber, the mills of the Hon. Cornelius C. Schoonmaker, Esq. at Shawan gunck, were set on fire and consumed, for which he censured several persons— ihat a short time alier, as a pei son was polling an unfrequented road, in the neighbourhood, he fell in with a man in a thicket of woods, armed with a mulket, who enquired of him where Mr. Schoonmaker was, on being answered that he did not know, they palled each other—the unarmed person had not proceeded far, before he began to reflect that the iituation and appearance of the man, were myfteiious—ln Ihor:, he was imprefled with an idea that lome fatal proceedings were in aaitati on. Under these apprehensions, he concealed his horse, with an intention to return and place him (elf in a lituation where he might watch the actions of the suspicious character"; he accord ingly advanced to an nncommonly thick group ct laurels, where he might lay concealecf ; 011 penetrating the duller, he found a grave newly dug—long, and very deep—in consequence of this, he made a fccrct retreat and had the man apprehended, who, we are informed, has since confefl'ed that he burnt the mill* and was, at the time he was secured, laying in wait to execute his desperate intentions of murdering Mr.Schoou inaker* and -depositing his body in the grave men tioned .
