PRIJVTED AJYD PUBLISHED BY SPENCER, D Y ULt.FY & co. O.i every Saturday Morning. Washington's Farewell Address, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania have issued Part 2d of the 1st vol. of their Memoir?. The first pages consist of a series of pipers relative to the Valedictory A Idress of President Washington, in which it is abundantly, conclusively proved that he was the real author of that composition a fact which, to the eyes of some persons had been involved in doubt, by the discovery of an amended copv in the hand writing of General H amilton. The venerable John Jay bears Uie following testimony on the subject: "S"me time before the address appeared, Colonel (afterwards General) Hamilton informed me that he had received a letter from President Washington, and with it the draft of a Farewell Address, on which he requested our opinion. He then proposed that we should fix on a day for an interview at my house on the subject. A day was accordingly appointed, and on that day Col. Hamilton attended. He observed to me in words lo this effect, that, after having- read and examined the draft, it appeared to him to be susceptible of improvement. That he thought the easiest and best way was to leave the draft untouched, and in its fair state; and to write the whoje over with such amendments, alterations, and corrections, as he thought were advisable, and that he had done so; he then proposed to read it, and to make it the subject of our consideration. This being agreed to, he read it, and we proceeded deliberately to discuss and consider it, paragraph bv paragraph, until the whole met with our mutual approbation. Some amendments were made during the interview, but none of much importance. ! "Although this business had been hastily despatched, yet, aware of the consequence of such a paper, I suggested the giving it a further critical examination; but lie dec lined it, saying he was pressed for time, and was anxious to return the draft to the President without delay. "It afterwards occurred to me that a certain proposition was expressed in terms too general and unqualified, and I hinted it in a letter to the President. As the business took the course above mentioned a recurrence to the draft was unnecessary , and it was not read. There was the advantage? in the course pursued ; the President's draft remained (as delicacy required,) fair, and not obscured by by interlineations, &c. By comparing it with the paper sent with it, he would immediately observe the particular amendations and corrections that were

proposed, and would find them standing!?(o!en oods hich j n probabiiit v J

in their intended places. Hence he was enabled to review, and to decide on the whole matter, with much greater clearness and facility than if he had received

I witnessed a ceremony which tome was very interesting on account of one of the persons engaged. This person was the beau tiful and attracting Miss Mary E. Rose, who is deaf and dumb, and who on that evening was married to Mr. D. C. Mitchell, in the Rutgers street Church, by the Rev. Dr., M'Auley. The ceremony though short was impo-

sing, and was performed before a crowdea meeting or menus, and strangers to the parlies, attracted hy the novelty of the scene and the circumstance of one of them being a mute. The parties took their station in the middle aisle of the Church, and Dr. M'Auley commenced by making a very impressive and appropriate prayer. He then addressing the groom, gave the usual charge, and repeated to him the words of the marriage covenant to which Mr. Mitchell signified his consent. He then stated that as Miss Rose was a mute, the covenant had been written out in full and explained to her and that she clearly comprehended it. I was accordingly handed to her, she read it with deliberation, intimated by signs that she understood it, and consented. Dr. M'Auley presented a pen and ink and she subscribed the covenant, when the same was done by M. Mitchell. The minister then pronounced them Husband and wifii and concluded with a prayer. The marriage certificate was handed to Mr. Rose, the father of the bride, and the covenant, after having been su Inscribed as witnesses by a dozMn or more per sons, was delivered to the Directors of the institution for the deaf and dumb in this city, in which Miss Ruse had been educated. The late Miss Rose, now Mrs. Mitchell, is almost 19 years old, an exquisitely beautiful and agreeable woman. She has been about seven years in the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, the latter part of the time as an assistant teacher. Her husband is engaged as principal teacher in the Central school for the Deaf and Dumb at Canajoharric, in Montgomery county, of this state, whither the new married couple, we understand will shortly proceed. May happiness smile on their union, and success attend their labors in giving instruction to the unenlightened deaf mutes. This ithe second female mute who has been in structed in New-York and married to a gentleman who can hear and speak. From the Nat. Intelligencer. SECOXD SIGHT AXD CHARMS. Hami shire County, Va. 1C26. These have generally been clawed amonganliqu ited superstitions, notwithstanding the well attested cases which come under the purview of history. The North of Scotland has been famous for its seers. The. Jewish nation once possessed them, as we learn from sacred writ: they are still common among the Northern Indians, i.nd even in our own country I know instances of them, though very rare. No doubt but that a great part of what is attributed to these seers is exagirerated; for instance, their foretelling future events, and sometimes their discovering'

Second sight is only found among the J , . most ignorant of the human, and instinct! among the most savage of the brute crea tion. The light of science expels it in the one, and domestication renders it in the other unnecessary. In this county, on North river, there are two remarkable instances of men possessing the gift of second sight, together with a faculty of charming. The one is a white man by the name of George oiar, tts ether a negro called Phil.

He is well rewarded for the services he renders Mr. H. the Sheriff, and this has made him of late careless about accommodating others. Phil. Pay ton, the Negro, possesses the same faculty, in a similar degree, and is more accommodating, (he is the most intelligent of the two) frequently gratifying strangers w ith specimens of his occult skill, which SharlFwill seldom now do, unless ordered by Mr. H. who takes care of him (for he is too much of an idiot to take care of himself.) There is a wonderful faculty possessed hy both these men as it respects charms. Sharif can remove warts, and other excrescences, merely by moving his hand with a circular motion round them and I have known Phil to cure the most obstinate ophthalmy, merely by blowing his breath in the patient's eye. This is strange, but true, and nothing more wonderful than the fascination of serpents, or the submersion of swallow s. These men cannot be impostors: for! they are too ignorant to carry on a deception. The neighbors for miles aroud ean attest to their ignorance, as well as their skill in the hidden mystery of con juration. vv hen Mr. If. loses, or cannot find a horse, he immediately applies to Sharif, who immediately puts his right hand hefore his eyes pauses for a few moments, then describes the identical place where the beast is, at that time. It is something curious that he cannot see in this way by applying the left hand to the eyes. From the right hand he has lost the thumb when this accident look place, it greatl improved his occult vision. It would be too tedious to go into full details of the wonderful gifts of these two men, though 1 as fully believe that they possess the second sight a- I believe that Paris is in France, or London in England. Enough is here written to excite the speculation of the CURIOUS. HUM AX SALAMAXDER. The English (and after them the American) Journals have lately printed some anecdotes of a Monsieur Chabert, who has .achieved a wonderful victory over the inlluence of fire. He entered, it appears, a hot oven, and remained there until a crag of mutton, which acted as his compngnonde voyage, was thoroughly baked. This is a kind of culinary su -

The last of these experiments was made about 8 o'clock in the evening when the heat' was at the greatest; a very large thermometer, placed at a distance from the door of the room, but nearer to the wall than the cockle, and defended from the immediate action of the cockle by a piece of paper hung before it, rose I or

At this lime 1 went into the room, with the addition to my common clothes of a pair of thick w orsted stocking, drawn over my shoes, and reaching some wa above my knees; 1 also put on a pair of glovs, and held a cloth constanty between my face and cockle; all these precautions were necessary to guard against the scorching of the red hot iion. 1 remained 0 minutes in this situation frequently walking about to all the different parts of the room, but standing still most of the time in the coolest spot, near the lowest thermometer. The air felt very hot) but still by no means to siuh a degree as to give pain: on the contrary I had no doubt of being able to support a much greater heat; all the gentlemen present were of the same opinion. I sweated, hut not very profusely. For 7 minutes my breathing continued perfectly good ; but after that time I began to feel an oppression in my lungs, attended with a sense of anxiety which, gradually in creasing for the space of a minute, I thought it most prudent to put an end to the experiment and left the room. My pulse counted, as soon as I came into the the cool air, for the uneasy feeling rendered me incapable of examining it in the room was found to beat at the rate of 141 pulsations in a minute, which is more than double its ordinary quickness.' From these experiences it would appear that .Monsieur Chabert's exhibition was not so very wonderful. He makes it a profession, however, and dresses it up with the quackery of a showman. Extraordinary Cows. Sir In your Gazette oftheGth November last, we see that at Worcester cattle show, the governor of Massachusetts has otfered for exhibition a cow, which lias often given 27 quarts of milk. When visiting the Chalais of Grayers in Switzerland, thirty ears ago, I have there seen numerous herds of cows, which yielded from CO to G4 quarts of milk each and everyday. Some time after when visiting the establishment of Mr. Chabert, the director of the veterinary school of A!fort,I saw the same species of animal affording, upon a soil far inferior to the former, as much as three buckets or 12 gallons of milk, and never less than 8 gallons every day. Mr. Chabert, in his publications, said that he had observed that cows, fed in the winter upon dry substances, give les milk than those which are kept upon a green diet, and also that their milk loses much of its quality. He published the receipt, by the use of which his cows afford him an equal quantity and quality of milk during the summer.

Thii fruit is a species of Myristica; it grows principally, but not exclusively, in the Danda Islands, and the trade is monopoii ed by the Dutch. It is generally sep arated from its outward coat, the mace, before it is shipped; hut the whole fruit is occasionally imported in a preserved state, as a sweet-meat. As an aromatic of extremely agreeable flavour, it is much used in food, and even in medicine; it may be useful, however, to caution the reader against its immoderate use. A gentleman of Lower Silesia, of a good constitution, being somewhat ind is poscdy took into his head, by way of remedy, to eat four nutmegs, weighing, together two ounces; and while eating., them, drank a few glasses of beer. He was soon after seized with a great heat, L violent pain in the head, a vertigo and delerium, and at once deprived of the use of speech and of all his senses. He remained two days and nights in a state of drowsiness, but unable to sleep. On the third day he became? lethargic: on the fourth, he recovered a littie, but had lost all memory of every thing that had happened in his lifr. During four dajg more, he was subject to a continual fever and watchfulness; and was finally struck with a palsy in all his limbs. At the expiration of the eight days, he recovered his reason, but as it was not till three months, during which every suitable medicine had been employed, that hie body was restored to health. It is in deed a general observation, that the nutmeg has a soporific quality, w hich it exerts if the quantity swallowed be sui cient. Sale of a Wife and two Childrni.
