We will thank our correfpondents in future, to inform us whether the productions which they furnish us with are jelected or original. Several pieces have lately been sent to us as original, which we know to be otherwife. A deception of this kind is unhandsome and ungenerous, as it cannot give any reputation to the plagiarift, and may injure us.

The Editors view the Jong fent them in July laft, as containing perfonal reflections, which it will be ever their ftudy to avoid introducting into this work.

Of the SAW-MILL of HENRY LIVINGSTON, jun. near Poughkeepsie. [WITH AN ENGRAVING.]

TH

HE natural beauties of the cascade on which this faw-mill stands, are not equalled perhaps by any in America.-A curious anecdote relating to this mill is worth mentioning:

A female bear and two cubs were purfued by hunters from the weft fide of Hudfon's river, and took fhelter in the wood that furrounds this mill. Early next morning, one Buyce, the miller, difcovered an enormous bear and two fmaller ones afcend the mill, (the mill was then going;) on the log, which was continually moving to the faw, was placed the fawyer's breakfast. The hungry bear, urged by the delicious effluvia of the bread and cheese, feized it as her lawful prize, and jumped on the moving log, with her tail towards the faw; the cubs placed themselves on the log directly before her. She had fcarce began her repaft, when the titulation of the faw moving perpendicularly with amazing force, touched her tail; with contempt fhe fnarled, grinned, and looked behind her, when, in a moment, the falutation of the faw amputated her tail. She then with fury turned towards the faw, and with a hideous yell, raised herself on her hind legs, grafped the faw, and in four feconds was torn to pieces. The fawyer then approached, killed one of the cubs with a crow bar; the other fell down the mill, and, ftunned by the fall, was taken alive, and is now in the poffeffion of the mil ler, the dread of all the dogs in the village.
