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 .

HOLY BIBLE. The Apocrypha and Index, <fcc. will be finifc

He is hafjpy to inform the public, that the work has been exa

with their highest approbation; both as to the execution of the
