A melancholy event had liked to have happened here a few days ago. A person belonging to Mr. Elms of this place, was (driving a horse and chair into the river, the horse proving unruly, was taken into the stream, and it was with great difficulty they were got out again; unhappily the horse was sadly wet, but the man received no other hurt than catching a slight cold and damaging his watch.

Our passage boats have had a middling good time in crossing the ferry lately, not a single fee has been lost.

Whether or no we meet esteem,
Regardless as a praw;
No real injury we mean
In our Gazette extra.
Critics may snarl, but should they bite,
Then weÕd our powÕr exert;
For weÕre assured, the more we write
Will make us more expert.

A Generous Price will be given by the Editors for the latest Rebel Papers.
