COOPERSTOWN/M Y.) April 7.
By a gentleman from the northward,
we are informed, t’nat a woman living
in Argyle (ltate of New- York) on Mon
day fortnight, committed a horrid mur
der on a child of two years old, entrult
ed to her care to bring up—a jury fat
on the body and brought in their ver
did, wilful murder! It appeared that
the child by fome means had wet its
cloaths ; the inhuman woman in a tit of
rage caught the child by the arms, and
held it to the tire, till burnt to a crifp—
a son of the woman, twelve years old,
who was the only one in the house beside,
was queltioned by the jury, who find the
child while writhing in her arms, cried,
Mamma mamma, you burn me! The wo
man is now conulied in gaol at Salem.
MARTINSEURG, April 2S.
A mofl savage murder was committed
la ft Sunday night, on the body of Mr.
Nicholas Young, an honest, aged citi
zen, living in the borders of Shepherd's
Town. About twelve o’clock on that
night, Mr. Young dilcovercd attempts
making to enter his house by a back
window ; he immediately rose from his
bed, went out of the door to the back of
the house, where he was instantly lei zed,
a pistol put to his body, difeharged* and
the contents lodged in his breast ; he,
after walking two or three paces, fell
and expired ; his unhappy wife, on hear
ing the report of the pistol, ran to his
relief, when fhc no sooner law the part
ner of all lhe held dear lying a corps, but
an immediate attempt was made at her
life by the difeharge ©f another pistol
which, fortunately,only burnt the prim
ing in the pan, and flic escaped. From
her heft rccoliedion she saw two per
sons, who were acceffary in the hor
rid adl, and heard her husband speak to
the one who lhot him, previous to his
■tall: the villain’s name was mentioned
but ihc difremembers it. The cause of
this daring attempt appears to have been
* rom die unfortunate Mr. Young’s hav
ing received a large payment the even
ing before, for a plantation he had fold
and the villains apprehending the money
to be in the house, determined on the
murder, with a view to obtain it : how
ever it was left m Shepherd's town the
evening it was received, but the aged
Columbian jEufeum,
proprietor loft his life by its means. No
difeovery has asiyet been made of the
perpetrators of the horrid deed*

Cotton Ginning.
TH E Subscriber is empowered by
Mr. E ft E, of the Bahama 1 Hands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the Hates of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wish to become
fubferibers, are requested to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent of the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
tracts that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be attached to any machine in use
for other purposes, such as rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will lend
over a perlon competent to let them in
motion, and fully to explain their Sev
eral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from
Ijo to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this lubjeft I beg leave to re
fer gentlemen to the underiigned certi
ficate from a refpedable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an eye
witness of the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the moft ref
pettable Planters in that country. Fur
ther particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may with to become a lubfcriber.
Tbs machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Weft-
Indies to which it has been sent.
THOMAS SPALDING.
GEORGIA, Chatham County.
IDO certify, that, being on a visit for
my health to New Providence, one
ot the Bahama I Hands,;! was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonlycuitivatedin the back
country of the southern dates, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment 1 found to An
swer. The rainy season setting in a
bout the time I received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as
sured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the course of a
daj'. The machine separates the feed
from the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the ilaple, and, from a
sample ot feed and cotton in possession
of the fubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my flay in Nas
sau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. This machine
is capable of being attached to almost any
of those used for various purposes in this
country; the conftrutflion appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
conference in the Bahamas is in the
prattice of nfing them.
