ere vegetables, fowls, or any other meat are twice dressed, they
add to the appearance of the table the first time; and three sweet
articles may form the second appearance, without greater expence. In
some houses, one dish at a time is sent up with the vegetables, or
sauces proper to it, and this in succession hot and hot. In others, a
course of soups and fish: then meats and boiled fowls, turkey, &c. Made
dishes and game follow; and lastly, sweet dishes; but these are not the
common modes. It ought also to be remarked, that cooks in general do not
think of sending up such articles as are in the house, unless ordered;
though by so doing, the addition of something collared or pickled, some
fritters, fried patties, or quick-made dumplings, would be useful when
there happen to be accidental visitors: and at all times it is proper to
improve the appearance of the table rather than let things spoil below,
by which an unnecessary expence is incurred.--Any of the following
articles may be served as a relish, with the cheese, after dinner. Baked
or pickled fish done high, Dutch pickled herrings: sardinias, which eat
like anchovy, but are larger: anchovies, potted char, ditto lampreys:
potted birds made high, caviare and sippets of toast: salad, radishes,
French pie, cold butter, potted cheese, anchovy toast.

DISTRESS FOR RENT. In these days of general complaint and general
distress, when so many families and individuals are suffering from the
extortions of tax-gatherers, and the severity of landlords, it is proper
that householders and occupiers of land should be furnished with a
little information on the subject of their legal rights and liabilities,
in order to guard against injustice, or the fatal consequences of
illegal proceedings. It must therefore be observed, that rent is
recoverable by action of debt at common law; but the general remedy is
distress, by taking the goods and chattels out of the possession of the
tenant, to procure satisfaction for rent. A distress for rent therefore
must be made for nonpayment, or rent in arrears, and cannot be made on
the day in which the rent becomes due. Neither can distress be made
after the rent has been tendered; or if it be tendered while the
distress is making, the landlord must deliver up the distress. Any goods
or effects that are damaged by the proceedings of the landlord, must be
made good by him.--When distress is levied, it should be for the whole
of the rent in arrears;
