The Public is particu- larly requested to try the Opaque Quills, which possess, in a high degree, the natural elasticity, toughness, and durability of Quills. A proof of this, is, that Quills dressed in this manner, are preferred in Europe, and are ge- nerally made use of in all the large cities, public offices, and writing academies there.
J. B. Kreymborg possessing sufficient means and good connexions in Europe, to get the raw Quills from there of the best quality, and at reasonable prices, he is enabled to sell his Quills at a lower price, than others can im- port them.
Stationers, Booksellers, and Wholesale dealers, will find it their advantage to favour him with their orders. They can be sup- plied at various and suitable prices,-from $2 50 to $25 per thousand. The colour of strings remains at their option.

PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM,
In the Upper Rooms of the State House.
Incorporated by an act of the Legislature of l'ennsylvania, January, 1821, under the title of Philadelphia Museum Company. Rubens Peale, manager.
THIS splendid and valuable establishment, founded in 1785, is the first in the United States, and but little inferior to the imperial Museums of Europe. It is displayed with scientific method and pleasing neatness. The Quadruped room contains 212 animals, all preserved in appropriate attitudes, and all but the largest in glass cases ; besides horns, skins, &c. Amongst the most remarkable, are the Elephant Scal, from the South seas, measuring eleven feet in length, and nine feet in girth ; the Madagascar Bat, three feet two inches from tip to tip ; the Ourang-outang, or wild man of the woods ; the great Ant-eater, Lion, Grisly Bears, Hyana, Porcupines, Cow with five legs, and a large and powerful Electrifying Machine, &c. The long room dis- plays an elegant range of cases, containing Birds from every quarter of the globe, to the number of 1240; 180 Portraits of characters distinguished during the American revolution, and since, besides philosophers of Europe and America ; a splendid collection of Minerals, Fossils, and Miscellaneous Curiosities, amounting to near 8000 articles ; various opti- cal amusements, and Lukens's model of perpetual motion. The Mammoth room exhibits the stupendous skeleton of the Mammoth, which was dug up in the state of New York, in 1801, by C. W. Peale, at great expense. This skeleton of an antediluvian animal, whose species no longer exists, measures 18 feet in length, and 11 fect 5 inches in height .--- In this room are likewise wax figures of Indians, &c. habi- ted in their own dresses, instruments of war, tools, and dresses, upwards of 800 in number-a library of Natural History. The marine room (up the lobby stairs) containing 121 Fishes, 148 Snakes, 112 Lizards, 40 Tortoises and Tur- tles, and 1044 Shells, Corals, &c. Shells of the great India Oysters, weighing 350 lbs. ; besides cases, humorously ex- hibiting a variety of Monkeys, employed in the occupations of men ; and lastly, a portion of this room is appropriated for anatomical preparations, double-headed animals, defor- mities, skeletons, &c.
N. B. The whole Museum is brilliantly illuminated every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evening. At 8 o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, a number of useful and interesting experiments are shewn, in Natural Philosophy. and Chemistry. On Saturday evening at the same hour, an exhibition of the Magic Lanthorn. Admittance at all times, 25 cents each.
The Profile cutter attends every day and evening. Frames furnished at the door.

MEER'S
UNIQUE RAZOR STROP,
Sold Wholesale and Retail at the Manufactory,
No. 4, South Seventh-street.
Wholesale purchasers will be supplied on libe- ral terms.
This STROP is formed upon philosophical princi - ples, and is (for the purpose designated) perhaps the most complete of any ever offered to the pub- lic ; 't supersedes the use of a hone, and requires neither oil, water, nor any other fluid ; and, if used according to the directions accompanying it, it is impossible to form a blunt round edge, or a rough wire edge, (as is generally the case with most of the Strops made on the old principle,) but will pro- duce a fine smooth sharp edge, which will shave clean and easy.
N. B. This Strop will never require a supply of fresh paste to renovate its usefulness, as the original composition is of such a nature as to be extremely durable and lasting.
EMMOR T. WEAVER, SILVER-SMITH, Sword Mounter & Gilder,
