“ PROSPECTUS
OF THE
A WELL conducted Newspaper is
of great utility in any part of the
country; but the present flourishing
condition of Fort Hawkins renders it
doubly so at that place. The human
mind has never invented another meth
od by which knowledge is so generally
diffused, nor one by which it costs so
little as that of a well conducted peri
odical publication. The Liberty of the
press is justly esteemed the palladium
of our redds : but when prostituted to
the service of forty purposes, is capa
ble of being the greatest evil in the
nation.—The Messenger will attach
itself to no party, but will contain as
much truth, and as little error as may
be in the Editor’s power to give to the
public.
v TLUMS.
The Messenger will he printed
weekly, at three dollars a year in ad
vance, or four dollars it not paid v\ ithin
the year.
NO subscription will be taken for
less than a year, and no paper discon
tinued (except at the option of the
Editor) till orders are given and all
arrearages paid.
Aryf.p.v sements not exceeding a
hundred words will be iuser'cil at
seventy-five cents for the first inser
tion, and fifty cents for each continu
ance —longer ones in proportion.

Extraordinary Character. —There
is at present living at a place called
Glcnaire, six miles from lnversrv,
a person of the name ot John Mon
ro, at the advanced age of 95, who
makes a point of walking daily, for
the sake oi vecuation, the six miles
betwixt his residence and Inverarv,
or to the top ot Tuhich Hill, which,
is very steep, and distant about two
miles. Should the rail’ pour in tor
rents, so much the better, and with
the greatest pleasure does he per
ambulate the summit of the hill for
hours in the midst >f the storm.
Whether it be natural to this man,
or whether it he the effect of habit,
cannot be said ; but it is well known.,
he cannot endure ‘o remain am’
length of time with his body in <i
dry state.—During summer, and.
when the weather is tlrv, he regu
larly pays a ilailv visit to the ruerr
Area, and plunges himself headlong
in with his clothes on, and should
they get perfectly dry earlv in ta
dav, so irksome and disagreeable
does his situation become, that, tike
a fish out of water, he finds it ne
cessary to repeat the luxury, tie
delights in rainy weather, and who ;i
the “ skv lowers, and the clouds
threaten,” and other men seek the
“ bicld or ingle side,” then is the
time that this “ man of habits,”
chooses for enjoying bis natural
element in the highest perfection.
He never bends his way homewards
til! he is completely drenched ; and
on these occasions, that a drop mav
not be lost, his bonnet is carried m
his hand, and his head left bare to
the paltering of the wind and rain.
He at present enjoys excellent
health; and, notwithstanding hui
habits, he has been wonderfully
fortunate in escaping colds, a com
plaint very common in this moist
climate; but when lie is (attacked,
whether in wet or drv’ weather,
whether in spring or winter, his
inode ot cure is not more singular
than specific. Instead of confining
Himself and indulging in the ardent
sweating potions so highly extolled
amongst the gossips of his country,
he repairs to his favorite element,
the pure stream of the Area, and.
takes one of his usual headlong dips
with his clothes on. He then walks
about for a few miles till they be
come dry, when the plan pursued
never fails to check the progress of
the disorder. In other respects the
writer has never heard anv thin#
singular regarding his manners ot
habits. Stirling Journal,
United Slates’ JWint— -The mint of the
F. Slates was established at Philadel
