FRIDAY APRIL 29, 1825.

In the first page of this paper, we have . published the address of Mr. Test, to the people of this district. We deem it unneces

sary to recommend it to your attention, as

it will be found to contain matter sufficient!) interesting, to induce those who have not al ready read it, to give it a careful perusal.

We are indebted to the politeness of some

nprson unknown to us, for the Address of

Mr. A Sneed, Clerk of the Old Court of Appeals, to the perple of Kentucky. It is of considerable length, making a pamphlet of 28 pages, royal octavo, in small type. His object, in writing thi address, appears to be to vindicate his conduct in relation to the refusal to deliver up the papers and records in his possession, to the New Court of Appeals, organized by an act of the last session of the Kentucky Legislature. He com-

plains, in very strong terms, of the treatment

he has received from the new judges and

their officers; who, it appears, entered his

house by force, and took the records &c. which he had refused to deliver, and fined

him ten pounds for contempt of authority.

their names are accompanied by fifty cents. A

custom similar to this prevails in almost every office

in the state, with but this difference subscribers

are charged fifty cents, and non subscribers one dol

lar. This regulation will subject very few to the

payment of this sum, as we presume every man

who comes before the people as a candidate, takes a papi-r. and will, therefore, have his name inserted

free from charge. But should any offer who take neither of the papers printed in the county, to such

ever after louder and more turbulent than

before the accident.

Case 3. A soldier, in the St. Helena Rei.

ment,was struck; he teo,had epilepsy, which

was stopped by depletion; me continued to recur for several weeks afterwards.

He was subiect to euilepsv, but had not been

attacked during the voyage, previous to the

thunderstorm.

All the cases, the author remarks, show

ed evident marks of determination to the

head. It is extremely probable that the two

last patients were influenced more by the

passion ot tear, than by the lightning, ir

Gregory used to give, as an instance of what

Cullen calls apoplexia mentalis, the case of

an clderlv ladv, who was much terrified by

very vivid lightning, complained of headache, which went on to apoplexy, and prov

ed fatal in thirty-six hours. 1 he pain in the

region of the liver, noticed m two cases, is

remarkable. Med, Chir. Review.

LIBERAL SEXTIMEM T!

We copy the following liberal remarks

from the "Allegheny Democrat," a paper

prbted in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: "We have frcquen? invitations from pri ters at a distance to exchange papers. I

order to relieve a number of the small fry

from the trouble, and ourselves from tt ie importunity, we have to say that we will not exchange with a paper, wlierc the Editor advocates Harry Clay. This we do under the full conviction that no one who takes his part can be an honest man." These are certainly high-toned expressions, and worthy of the man who made them. Because an editor is so unfortunate as to differ with him, in opinion, he is not only to be deprived of the use of his inestimable paper,

but he is even to be deroimced us a dishon

est man. For our part, wre are not the pro

fessed advocates of Henry Clay; hut we

-will never be deterred from d'ung him ju

ticc, when it is in our power, cither out of

fear or regard for the editor of the "Demo crat." It is the privilege of every individu

al, in this free country, (perhaps not so in the editors native land,) freely to exercise his own opinions, whether religious or political; and any man who would attempt to restrict him in either, should have the same punishment inflicted upon him, which this editor

recommended to be inflicted on a certain justice of the peace, in that state, viz: "to be tied to a cow's tail, .Sec.'1

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who

Si.vgular.- -The body of Mr. Eli Johnson, un'r. whose death wre noticed in a prece

ding number of our paper, was found on

vednesday last after having lain m the wa-

tor upwards of two weeks. A very singu

lar circumstance attending this is worthy of

notice. Since the day this voung man was

drowned, many fruitless searches had been

made for his remains, by his surviving relatives and others. On Tuesday night the v.

mother of the deceased dreamed t.iat he had been found on Caldwell's mill dam.

This dream made so strong an impression on the mind of the mother that she earnest

ly requested that search might be made: this request was complied Avith, and singular

to relate, the corpse was lound on the identical dam, above named. Hamilton Adv.

Class. A few days since, whilst attend

ing to some business, in a mercantile house in this town, our eye accidentally glanced on

a box of window glass, bearing the manufac

turer's name, and the place from whence it

came, New-Albany, Indiana, near the falls of

Ohio, about eleven hundred miles from this,

and about three hundred westward of the

Allegheny Mountains. Inquiring of a deal

er as to the quality of the glass, we were in-j formed that it was excellent, and quite su

perior to any manufactured in the eastern states, and infinitely superior to that manufactured at the celebrated glass works in

j Pittsburgh. Indeed, so highly did our friend

esteem this glass, that he was anxious to order a large supply, and wants only to ascer

tain the safest and most expeditious way of i

bringing it to this section of the country, when he will issue his orders. Prov. Pat.

A most shocking murder was committed

in the county of Amelia, in Virginia, a few

days ago. It appears that on the Friday

previous to the commission of the deed,

the overseer had occasion to correct one of1

the negroes placed under his care that while the punishment was inflicting, the negro seized the cane from the overseer's hand and gave him a few blows. The negro then absconded, but returned on Tuesday morning to his work. The overseer said nothing to the slave, when he saw him in the morning, but afterwards wrent to the field, taking his gun with him. He then directed the

negro to be tied, but some reluctance being

manifested, he ordered the other negroes to

stand aside, and deliberately shot him. The

negro languisned a few hours, and then ex pired.

Shortly after this sad catastrophe, a gen

tleman residing on or near the premises, went to the held to investigate the matter.

and as he approached the overseer ordered

him to halt, or he would shoot him. I he

gentleman upon this threat, directed one of

the negroes to go tor his gun, who, while m

the act of obeying the order, was also shot

by the overseer, but not dangerously.

The unfortunate man who perpetrated

this double deed, is named Moore, and is in

the power of the civil authorit-, where res

pect for the laws of our country induces us

to leave him, without going further into this

melancholy occurrence. Petersburg Repub.

George Chcsterson, an aged citizen of

this township, committed suicide on Monday

No particular reason could be assigned by his friends, for this horrid act; although he had previously made known his intention and so steadfastly was he fixed in this dreadful resolution, that the persuasions, entreaties, and even force of his family were unable to deter him from his purpose, or prevent the act.

OF FLXE ARTS.

An officer of the U. S. ship Peacock, writes from Callao, on the 1 3th December last, that the English Consul General had been shot on his way from Callao to Lima, by a Patriot sentinel. He was passing by the guard in the night, in his carriage, attended by his daughter, and being hailed by the sentinel, immediately got out of his carriage, and

jumped upon his servant's horse. The dress

of the Consul so much resembled that of a Spanish general, that the sentinel, without waiting for him to speak, immediately shot him. He survived three days.
