An EATING SONG. u Qh ! njjhat a charming thing's a Din ner.” CHear up, Gluttons fill your bellies, Gormondize whole pounds of meat ; Never piddle o’er your jellies, But i'ubftantial viands eat. Ev’ry waistcoat quick unbutton, See the enemies advance ! Charge'the turkey, ham and mutton, Point the culinary lance. Brandi(h,boys, your knives and forks ail As you would in war the spear ; Bloat your paunches like a foot-ball, Eat in grease from ear to ear. Still let us abhor the motto, ‘Pauco Vesco’—damping words ! But good roast beaf, piping hot, O ! Spread in plenty o’er our boards. See the sirloin richly fmoaking, Mark the gravy, how it springs ! Mal-contcnts, forbear your croaking, By the Gods we feaft like kings. Come, dexterity exert now, Deep incisions, make with speed ; Wipe your chops, look quite alert now, Whilit on such llrong fare we feed. Lord! how hot the battle rages I Conqucft delolates the plain : What I our appetites assuages : Let us drink—and eat again. From the store-house brisk and mellow, See the brown October fly— Thro’ our spacious hall we. ’ll bellow, “Here ’s Alccefs to LIBERTY.” Whilst we ’rc gorging withour measure, Hear our greasy chairman cry— Fating is sublimest pleasure, “Whilst we eat—we’ll never die !” Remarkable Dfcovcry of a Murder. , When Dr. Donne, afterwards Dean of* St. Paul's, took pollsflion of the firft * living he ev’er had, he took a walk into the church-yard, where the sexton was digging-u!> a grave, and throwing up a lkuli, the’ Dr. took it up to contemplate thereon, and found a small sprig or head lels nail {ticking in the temple, which he drew out secretly and wrapt up in the corner of his handkerchief. He then demanded of the grave-digger if he knew whose skull it was ? He said he did ; declaring it was a man's who kept a brandy an honest drunken fellow, who-one night having taken two quarts of thq comfortable creature, was found dead in his bed n*xt morning. Had he fcWife ? Yes. What character docs (he beaf ? Avery good one, only neigll nurs refleft on her for marrying the day after the husband was buried; tho’ to be sure she had no great reason to grieve for him. This was enough for the doCtor, who under pretence of visit ing his parishioners, called on her : He ufked herfeveral questions ; and, among others, what sickness her hulband died of? She giving him the fame account lie'had recieved before, he suddenly o pened the handkerchief and said, in an authoritative voice, “Woman do you know this nail The woman, struck with horror at this unexpected demand, ipilantly confefled the deed.

WILLIAM LAMB. ’Savannah, April 29’b, 1796. ( NOTICE. MR. in Savannah, puts it in the power of the fubfcrißer to answer any enquiries refpeftinghis Cotton Ginn’s. All Subscribers will be supplied in time to clear out their present years crop. T. SPALDING. Savannah, June 21. 32-ts Cotton Ginning. TH E Subscriber is empowered by Mr. E V Ey of the Bahama I Hands, to receive a fublcription for his Cot ton Ginning Machine. Gen tleman of the states of South-Carolina and Georgia, who may wiPn to become fubferibers, are requested to fend for ward their names as soon as convenient, in order that the lubfeription 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 01 horses. This machine in a few days, and with a trifling expence, can be attached to any machine in uft for other fuch as lice machines, saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will fend over a perfqn competent to set them in motion, and iuliy to explain their sev eral powers. From fome small expe riments that have been made upon the green feed cotton it appears that from 150 to zoolbs. can be ginned in this machine per day. For further informa tion upon this fubjed I beg leave to re ler gentlemen to the undersigned 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 molt ref pedabte Planters in that country. Fur ther particulars will be made’ known upon application from any gentleman who may wilh to become a (übferiber. ifhs machine has met with univerlal ap probation in every part of the Welt- Inciies to which it has been sent. THOMAS SPALDING. GEORGI IfA f Chatham County. IDO certify, that, being on a visit for my health to New Providence, one oi the Bahama I {lands, I was induced to make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot ton Ginning Machine of the green feed cotton, commonly cultivated in the back country of the southern states, and sent to Savannah for a small quantity there of, which on experiment I 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 af (ured me his machine was competent, irom the calculation he had made, to clean out in good weather two hundred weight of clean cotton in the course of a day. The machine separates the feed from the cotton by rollers without do ing any injury to the staple, and, from a ample of feed and cotton in pofleflion of the fublcriber, any gentleman can be immediately convinced of the truth of this opinion. During my stay in Naf tau I frequently visited Mr. Eve’s ma chine which was,impelled by wind, and never law 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 thole used for various purposes in this country ; the conftru&ion appears by no means complex, and every planter of consequence in the Bahamas is in the practice of using then?.
