The subscriber has new bellows, anvil, and
vice, and a well assorted stock of iron; he owns an excellent
situation for country custom, and is desirous of obtaining some
good workman at that stand. A shop, tools, and a dwelling house,
if wanted, will be furnished. He is very desirous of obtaining
some person to accept the offer, as he has considerable employment
himself. If the applicant has a family, they can be accommodated
with useful supplies; if without a family, he can get boarding
at the place. However, be it clearly understood that no person
need apply, unless he brings respectable recommendations of his
sobriety and moral worth, and is capable of doing country work,
such as horse shoeing, making axes, hoes, chains, &c. Early
application is desireable.

forbid to harbour or employ said runaway at their peril.

The Montreal Courant relates that an Indian Squaw suckled a young bear which she had caught, weaning her child for the purpose. The cub became, in a short time very fond of his nurse, and would search her out among the crowd. This would seem to strengthen Dr. Franklin's opinion, that there is no such thing as natural affection.
The subscriber offers for rent, for one
or more years as may be agreed upon, his FARM & SAW MILL on
Bready's run about one mile from Mr. John Might's tavern, on the
road leading from Beaver to Lisbon, and about six miles from Beaver-there
is upwards of forty acres cleared and under good fence with a
comfortable cabin house and double barn. The Sawmill is in good
order - the whole is now in the occupancy of S. M. Crail. Possession
will be given the first day of April next: apply to the subscriber
at his residence, three and a half miles from Beaver.

N.B. A good sawyer would find employment at the Saw-mill of the
subscriber where he resides. J. K.
TAKE NOTICE, that I have applied by petition

THOMAS HAMILTON, Farmer,
Chippewa township
On Thursday the 15th inst. by the Rev. Robert
Ralston. Mr. Caleb Pyle of North Sewickley township, to Miss Jamima
Halladay of Washington county.
On Tuesday the 27th inst. by the Rev. Mr. Merrel, Mr. George Kirkendall,
of Ohio township, Beaver county, to Miss Shirts, of Columbiana
county, Ohio.
The stage loaded with eleven passengers, on its way from Beaver to Pittsburgh, on Tuesday last, between Economy and Jackson's tavern, upset. Mrs. Eakin was the only passenger injured, and not considered dangerous. The top of the stage was very much broken. The fault is said not to be in the driver, but the road. It is very strange that a road on which there is so great a thoroughfare, that so little attention is given to it by the supervisors.
We are highly gratified to see the noble and humane spirit that prevails in our county, in making contributions for the suffering Greeks. Mr. Rapp, in Economy, has agreed to take the wheat, rye and corn that may be given as donations, & pay the cash for them. He has generously given $50 himself.
On Saturday evening the 17th inst. about
midnight, Mrs. Hannah Buchanan left her residence in a disordered
state of mind-and although several hundred persons have been almost
constantly in search of her, not the least information is yet
obtained. If any person has seen her and will give information
to any person in West Middletown, it will relieve a number of
distressed relatives and an anxious neighborhood from most alarming
apprehensions. Her age is about 42; of middle stature; black eyes
and hair; had on when she went away a brown flannel dress.
Cross Creek township, Washington county, PA.
On the 25th inst. Mr. Joseph Dixon of Ohio
township, aged 88 years; an old and respectable citizen of Beaver
County.
Died at Sandusky in the month of July last, Mr. William Spicer,
who was at an early period taken prisoner by the Indians, and
who lived among them until his death. He married an Indian woman,
and left a number of children. He had a donation of land made
to him that is very valuable. It is believed he has relations
in Pennsylvania, whom Mr. Rodolphus Dickerson, the Administrator,
is anxious should have intelligence of his death.
