To Subscribers.
It is with rcluctHncfe that I an.
compelled to state, that the inatten
tion of subscribers, ill not liiukin
payment, fins much embarrassed, ami
if continued, will shortly pul au eut!
Much ex
is
to this establishment,
pence has been incurred by the lfidi
tor, and he has relied solely on the
honor ami character of his subscribers
to »nake such payments as would ena
ble him to proceed, at least with more
pleasure and profit than he has doue.
The business, at best, is perplexing;
and when it is added, that payments
are seldom made, our subscribers will
find no diffieulfy in feeling our situa
tiou— in which money is constantly
required, and as constantly not our»
to give. My Brethren, ought llust
things so to bc'J
It is reasonable to request and ex
pert, that all persons, w iio have tin
least wish for the continuance of tin
paper, or in linalion to pay their ar
rearages. should do it without del..;
—It is nothing more than jus!—an.
it certainly is very necessary —that
all dues should he paid —not next
year—hut IMMEDIATELY.
Mention !
The subscriber offers for sale, that well
known property, in Brandywine hundred,
containing 75 acres; there is a two
story stone house and kitchen, frame
bant 36 by 18 feet; a stone spring house,
cprn crib, carriage house, a well of ex
cellent water. The arable land is divid
ed into eight lots, which is surrounded
with thorn : the remainder woodland.
There is on said farm one acre complete
ly set with scarlet Strawberries ; twen
ty three bushels have been raised in one
season, on said place ; pear, grape,
peach, and all denominations of Uovvers
that nature can produce. Also, three
apple orchards of the best selected
fruit, all grafted. It is worthy any gen
tleman's attention. Half a mile from a
