Dancing Academy
Mr. Turner's Spring and Summer Term for the admission of new
Pupils, will commence on Thursday Afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the 30th
inst. in this town; and at Salem on the 4th of April.
Those parents who have already engaged, and others who intend to
favor Mr. T. With the Tuition of their Children, are most
respectfully requested to let them commence on the first day.
Mr. Turner teaches such of the modern steps as he conceives the
most delicate, and the most fashionable Cotillions, &c.
together with (what is styled by some) the old fashion Minuet,
which is the most graceful in all the art of Dancing, although
much neglected by modern Masters; likewise Contra Dances.
Particulars of Terms, &c. have been inserted in former
Advertisements.
Regular School Days will be Thursdays and Saturdays in the
afternoon. Private Lessons as usual. March 21.
Babysitter anyone?
In a southern paper an individual who wants a person to take care
of children, advertises for one whose patience is inexhaustible,
whose vigilance is unwinking, whose tongue is tireless, whose
expedients to please are boundless, whose foresight is unequalled,
whose industry is matchless, and whose neatness is unparalleled!
Lots of Beer!
A few weeks since we published an account of the bursting of the
Great Vat at Mr. Meux's Brewery, London, overthrowing by the
liquor many houses, and causing the deaths of several persons --
the following is a description of that Vat.
"The Vat built by Messrs. Meux at their Porter Brewery in
Liverpool street, London, is 25 feet depth, 75 feet diameter, and
195 feet circumference, and will contain 20,000 barrels of beer
at 36 gallons each, which are 720,000 gallons -- a size much
greater than has been attempted before, and more than fourteen
times larger than the celebrated Heidelburg Tun, so often
mentioned by travellers as one of the wonders of Europe,
containing 800 hogsheads or 50,400 gallons.
The cost estimated in building by Messrs. Meux is upwards of 10,000l.
sterling, and when charged with beer to be worth 35,000l.
sterling. The hoops weighed from 1 1-4 to 2 ton each, the weight
of iron of the whole may be computed at 87 tons.
This memorandum was taken on the 2nd May, 1795, by a gentleman
who was shewn the Brewery by Mr. Meux, and from the estimates of
the persons employed in building it."
