THE WESTERN SUN. VINCENNES, January 16, 1813.
The last mail furnished us with nothing new, the post rider not being able to cross the Ohio, -- this must account for the barrenness of this days' paper. OBITUARY.

For this valuable Improvement we arc indebted to capt. Solomon Towne of the fhip Galatea. He fpent the lid winter in Rllffift, where, with many others of our countrymen, he witnclled the efficacy of the Rove, which determined lum, if
rjoflibte, to obtain a model to bring 1 P .1 r r t

wmm in ine practice ot making tile r ft I r r- I
tor me uoves. lo lum, capt. T. applied, and eneased hi m at ennfi
derable expenfe, to make him two - . ii
near, porcelain models, one fquare and the other circular. When he afterwards went to St. Peterfburg, he mentioned the circumllancc to mr. Adams, our ambatfador, who
expreueci great pleafure at his fuc eels, oblerving that he had himteli been dehrous of obtaining a model to fend home, but hid never vet i it. .
ueen auie to procure one. The direaions accompanying the models being in the German language
mi . nuuni uirniiricd capt. Towne with an Enghlh tranllation. By thole we find that about four and a half cords of wood are conlidered fully competent: for nnP
for a twelve month, placed fo as to ... r
wim leveral apartments at once. But the Human rooms being generally much larger than ours, and
me winter m that region more fevere and protracted, tht confump. tion ot fuel, w hen proportioned to our rooms and climate, would probably be Ids, by more than one half. What an allondbing laving this, in one ot our large towns ! The wood Ihould be light and dry fo as quickly to burn down to a coal; when, all the fmoke having paflfed off, the damper is immediately doled, by which means the heat is retained, which palling through various compartments, heats a mafs of brick, that tor many hours communicates a comlor. table warmth to all parts ot the room. On capt. Townds return to Salem, he exhibited hi models to the lat? ingenious maluu, mr. John Dodge, who was ever eager to feize on any improvement oj this nature. Mr. Dovlge, oy capt. I ow ne permillicn, immediately creeled one in his own houte, and was conltrticlmsa ItCOtld tor the honorable mr. Putnam, when he was futktetiiy taken off by death. A handfume one has iince been built in the Eflex bank, two in me new South Meeting houte, and
Others in private building, all answering the higheti expectation, & proving how much the public are indebted to capt. T. for introdueing thin int Aimable contrivance.
