John JONES, informs his Friends and the Public in general, that he has removed to his new house, opposite the Jail, in the Borough of Wilkesbarre, where he has constantly on hand an Assortment of Boots, Ladies & Gentlemen’s Shoes, of the best quality and newest fashions, which will be sold cheap for Cash or on a shrt (?) credit.

Wanted immediately Five Journeymen Shoemakers. Those who are good workmen and posses steady habits, will meet with constant employment and good wages, by applying as above.

Francis M’SHANE, Esq. to Miss Frances, dau. of Col. E. BULKELEY, in this town on Sunday evening last, by Rev. HOYT.

Nails. The subscriber has removed his Nail Works, to the new Factory on Franklin Street, Wilkesbarre, nearly back of Col. BULKELEY’S. His Nails will be sold, at wholesale, on more advantageous terms than they can be procured from abroad and being cut under the strong heat of a coal fire, will be found much less brittle that what are made in the prisons, or the manufactories of places, where fuel is used sparingly. Gentlemen at a distance, who want a quantity, may find it advisable to send their orders beforehand, as the general demand will probably often exceed the stock made up. Francis M’SHANE.

William ROSS, Esq. is appointed Treasurer of Luzerne County.

A man of the name of Joseph YOTER who lived a few miles this side of Lewistown, made a violent attack, a few evenings since, upon his Wife, with an axe, with which he cut her on both sides of the neck, until her wind pipe could be seen, and fractured her scull so as to let out a part of her brains. The first information of this diabolical act communicated, by YOTER himself, to several of his neighbors, who at his request, have lodged him in the Lewistown Jail. This poor unfortunate woman, we understand, is still living but very little hopes are entertained of her final recovery. (Hunt. Gazette)

Over! Over! Over! It is for the convenience of my customers as well as to enable me to discharge my Rent which is now due, that I call upon you to settle your accounts up to this date, while I am in your road to and from Wilkesbarre. You that have done your years of ferrying will wait for no further compliments, but call immediately and settle up your accounts, and if you cannot discharge the accounts we can settle the Books. E. WILSON, Ferryman

Fire! We learn with regret, that last week the house of Archibald MURRY, of Sugar Loaf, on the Berwick Turnpike, was consumed by fire, with the furniture and many valuable papers.

A short time ago the Grist-Mill and Saw-Mill, and about 30,000 feet of boards, belonging to Zenas BARNUM, of Lackawanna, were consumed by fire. The loss is estimated at about 3000 dollars. This loss of an industrious man, stripping him of the labours of his life, must be severely felt. What renders the situation of Mr. BARNUM, more peculiarly distressing, is that it is but a year or two since his house, was consumed. In other places, when a worthy citizen suffers severely by an accident of this kind, it is customary for the people to unite, and to make up a considerable portion of his loss. Are the people of Luzerne less humane and generous than their neighbors? It is earnestly recommended that a subscription should be circulated in each township, and be divided between Mr. BARNUM and Mr. MURRAY in proportion to their losses.

John J. WARD and Adney S. ATKINS, Tailors, inform their friends and the Publick in general, that they have taken a shop on the north side of the Public Square, three doors west of Jonathan HANCOCK’S Tavern where work will be done in a neat and fashionable manner, and at a very short notice. N. B. One or two Journeymen tailors, can have constant employment by applying at above.

Leonard LOTT, died at Braintrim on the 9th Jan., 68 years old.

Jesse CRISMAN to Miss Polly HARTZELL at Hanover (no date)

13 March 1812

Our State Legislature has been talking about many things, and doing but few. There are now before the House, several matters in which Luzerne is interested:

  1. An act to improve the breed of sheep in Luzerne
  2. An ace regulating the mode of selling unseated land for taxes
  3. An act to incorporate a Stone Coal Company in the County of Luzerne
  4. A bill is also before the House for organizing the County Districts of Ontario and Susquehanna

Communication - Manual TURNER, of Huntington, Luzerne Co., together with the well known virtues of Dr. CRARY’S Pills, is a convincing proof that the public will be greatly benefited by them. He was for a number of years afflicted with pain in the breast, sickness at stomach, want of digestion and distressing cough. Many Physicians supposed him to be affected with a consumption of the lungs. In the fall of 1810, being in a very weak condition, by the solicitations of friends, he was induced to take a portion of CRAY’S Pills.

They discharged during their operation; a great number of small worms; he was much better, but in March 1811, feeling his old disorder returning, he took a double potion. In their operation, a worm was discharged, which measured seven feet in length, and about half an inch diameter; at the same time about 60 smaller ones, a species of the same. Since that time he had enjoyed good health.

The above statement as it respects myself, is true. Manuel TURBER

The Launch on Friday last. The boat was built on the bank of the river, 100 feet from the water and 15 feet perpendicular height above it, so that she had a considerable distance to move. The boat measures between 50 and 60 tons. Her colors were flying from her stern, and near thirty persons were on board. The after block was knocked away — every eye was fixed — all was anxiety — but she did not move. The news of the Embargo had just come in town, and she seemed aware that there was no business for her on the ocean, and she might as well lie in dry dock. The men on board all gathered near her bow and then run in a body to the stern. She started — moving for half a minute slowly — the velocity increased, and she slid most gracefully into her destined element, amid the shouts of thousands. As she met the water, Capt. CHAPMAN, christened her in the usual style, "The Luzerne, of Wilkes-Barre. Great credit is due to Mr. MACK, the ship right who built her and whose superintendence she was launched, and to Mr. ARNDT the principal proprietor, who had been chiefly active in her building. We hope her voyage down the crooked and rocky Susquehanna may be safe, tho our hopes are not without some fears for her safety, as she draws without ballast four feet water.

Estate of James M’LEAN, late of Canaan Twp., Wayne Co., request payments and claims. Catharine M’LEAN and Joseph WHEATCRAFT, Admin’rs.

The Gleaner is this week impressed on paper from the New Mill of Messrs. BUCKINGHAM, CHAHOON, TUTTLE and PARKER. The enterprize of these gentlemen is worthy of public patronage. They have erected the first Paper Mill in the County, at a considerable expence, and must depend upon the citizens for the supply of Rags, and for the sale of their paper, to remunerate them for the expence. Our Merchant — our public Officers and our citizens generally, it is hoped will encourage the manufacture of our own county, by supplying themselves with paper from the Kingston Mill, in preference to buying from abroad. But ladies, after all, without your friendly aid, their exertions will be unavailing; unless you will save your Rags, the Mill will be useless. But the patriotic ladies of Luzerne we are confident will never be remiss in any thing that will benefit the county, and particularly in encouraging so valuable an enterprise as the manufacture of paper. Our advice is, that in every house where there exists a disposition to be frugal and to encourage domestic manufactures, the girls should fix a Rag Bat in some handy place, and that every Linen, Cotton or Silk Rag, or shred, should be saved, and sent to Buckingham & Co. or their agents.

Peace, Commerce & Freedom — There were at the meeting, the proceedings of which we publish below, about 200 citizens. John CAREY, an old revolutionary soldier and patriot, presided. Mr. CAREY, has taken but little part in politics for many years, and has long been considered on the Democratic side, but now, where he sees the liberties for which he fought and bled, endangered by the imprudent conduct of the men in authority, he frankly expresses his opinion, that the interest of the nation will be promoted by a change of men and measures. Thousands who have heretofore voted for the men in power, entertain the same opinion with Mr. CAREY, and will step for the friends of Peace, Commerce and Freedom. Dark as is the present hour a ray of hope, breaks thro ’the gloom. Our elections are the strong holds of freedom. Let the people awake their true interests and the republic safe. Electors of the Counties of Luzerne, Susquehanna and Bradford Counties, met at the courthouse in Wilkes-Barre:
