Vessels were accommodated at "Rotting Row," in Salem, in 1812, and we presume there is room for some now. SEVERAL BIRTHS for VESSELS are vacant at Rotting Row, the tides are favorable and the Dockage so extremely low, good and safe, as to make it an object for any one to haul his vessel there to winter. Salem, Nov. 20. * * * * * It used to be common in the early part of this century to see such goods as "Mamoodies," "Chittabully Baftas," etc., advertised in the Salem and Boston papers. JOHN STONE, _Has for sale,_ _Front street,_ ONE bale MUGGA MAMOODIES; 1 do. MADRAS PAT HANDKERCHIEFS; 1 do. ALEABAD MOWSANNAS; 1 do. do. MAMODIES; 1 do. CHITTABULLY BAFTAS; 1 do. JOLLOPOUR SANNAS; 1 do. BANDANNAS; Imported in the ship Union, Capt. Osgood, from Calcutta, and of the first chop. _Sept. 24, 1811._ In another advertisement we notice "Guzzenahs, Allebad Emerty, Taundah Khassah, Mahge Gunge." These are all India cottons. * * * * * It seems strange to us now, when we see so many boot-blacks everywhere, to learn that in 1815 the "craft" advertised in the papers, as did "wood-sawyers," too, about the same time. As coal had not then been introduced into Salem, everybody burned wood, so that wood-sawing was an occupation of considerable importance. During the war of 1813 wood became rather scarce, and some people used dried turf, or peat, as it was called, for fuel. Boots and Shoes Cleaned.
