TH : JEFFERSON* From the Greenock Advrrftfer, METHOD of EXTINGUISHING -‘■-rtRE. While our feelings are awake to the diflrefs of others, whose lu fife rings arc oc casioned by thole dreadful fires wc read of in this other countries, let me again through the medium of your ufeful paper, call the public attention to a cheap and easy method of extinguishing the greatest flame by the application of pot alh, Ihe firtl time I tried the experiment was at the fire which happened feme years ago in this place, at the foot of the Highland close; the roof had fallen in before 1 was prepared, but the flames were very high extending over the adjoining houses, as the wind direded, and threatening the destruc tion ot the whole Urcet of Broad close. Ic was midnight, but tire streets were so illu minated that a pin might have been difeerned. The impregnated water was *j*. .1* u j ana Imgke, the fire was completely extinguilhed. On another cccafion afterwards when the new sugar house was on fire, the fame application was made, and though late as in the fprmcr case, and not until confidrra. ble loss was fuftatned, and with the fame success the fire was fnbdued, and much re maining properly preferred. The workmen at this lalt place who had taken home feme of the broken wood lor fuel were not a little surprised to find that it would not burn. It had all, more or left,, got a dalh of the alkaline water. Thar the public may fee what a Ample ptocefs it is, I will mention the method adopted on these occalions. At one end of the fire engine a large tub. was placed, into which all the water was thrown ; and frome it, by two men, one on each fide with buckets, the engine was supplied. To the tub was attached a barrel of fweated American pot-alh and pur under the charge ot one man, who by handfuls continued liberally to throw the allies into the water where they soon dissolved. lam obliged to be p.rticular, hoping thereby to induce others to make the lame trial, and if they fiiould be fuccefsful, I hope they will make it public.' There may be other, and perhaps more effcdlual methods for extinguifliing fire. A * good cock maid, for instance, tel’s us that common fait is applied to a hold fire, when dressing a beef ftetje. But I only mention what I know and have witntflfed, and which I recommended most earncfily so be tried, until foroethtng better is found out. It colls little, while the benefit is incalcula ble ; to insure success, a barrel of pot-alh and a tub, ought robe attached to every fire engine, to be ready on the firft alarm. Notice is hereby Given, THAT nine months from the date here of, application will be made to the Honorable In ertor Court of Greene coun ty, for leave to fell the half ot an undivid ed trafl of land, containing Five Hundred acres, in ftid county, it being the real estate of Ezekiel Pak, deceased, for the benefit of the heirs and creditors of faU dec.
